Have to devise a cooktop yet, and a wider base on the four legs.

Cute. Propane tank?
Yup! :-DQuote:

I did build a small BBQ pit out of a propane tank once to mount on the fender of a trailer. It turned out pretty good. No pictures though.
I think the thickness of the metal of a propane tank makes the perfect grill. Have to fill it up a couple times with water before you take the grinder to it though. :-DQuote:

I put in a baffle inside to make the smoke burn and also make the top surface hot to cook on. It was fun to build and got me back into welding a little. We have since painted it with black stove paint and made a wood handle for the door.

That is darn awesome!
Hell yeah it is! What kind/size of ammo can?
I've wanted a double-barrel stove for years, but don't have a place for one at the moment. I worked in a small machine shop that had one, and it really put out the heat (when the cheap bastard would actually buy some wood). But that shop was just a tin covered pole barn so it didn't do much good. In a decently insulated shop, it would run you outta there.

I finally picked up a 55 gallon drum to make a stove. Who knows when I'll get around to it. I can't weld, so probably never.
It is a 50cal one. I am going to make another one from a 40MM can next. He wants to get a teepee tent so he can winter camp with his stove in it. We bought some more stove pipe and it now has a four foot stack on it.Quote:

Great thread. It gets me excited to try a stove. Anyone seen a design for an oven?

Have built a couple over the years. Homemade shop stoves seem to work better than factory built/bought.
Built one of them with dad when I was in high school. We used a 100 gallon tank from an old air compressor. Thing was a monster, at full burn you could barely get close enough to throw more wood in it.

I started a thread about this, in this section, a few years ago that included a link to an online book all about making homemade stoves. Very detailed info in that book. I'd find it again, but am on my phone.Quote:

The legs are 1/4" NPT galvanized pipe. I welded a coupler to the bottom of the stove so the pipe (legs) can be removed. I have not been able to find the floor flanges to make it more stable. The stove is pretty stable right now.
I got the idea from the stove page I referenced earlier.

Here is a picture of a stove I want to make next. I will make it out of a 40mm ammo can. I am going to make a run down to the Springs to pick up some.

Here is another pic I drew inspiration from for my current one.

Ok, yeah.. cool thread alright. Jim, I'd be interested in learning anything about welding. Shall I pick up some pizza on the way over? When's good for you?
Here is that stove making book I spoke of earlier this year.
Making a wood stove: http://autonopedia.org/renewable-ene...g-wood-stoves/
Using a wood stove: http://autonopedia.org/renewable-ene...g-wood-stoves/
EDIT: That drawing you based the ammo can stove off of is in chapter 14 of this book.
I found this project last week. It uses a steel kitchen canister from Wally world ($18 for a set of 4) as the body. Looks to be nice and light for winter backpacking.

I missed this thread the first time around.
Nice stoves. [Awesom]
I like the ammo can idea but aren't the walls a little thin?
I'd like to someday make a giant version of the Emberlit, something I didn't have to look for pencil-sized twigs to run it on.
I got a free fireplace insert I'm wondering how to install it in the house?
My next stove will be a roll up stove. Look into that Hatidua.
I have 55 gAl barrels from time to time... Could save em up as my admission to the build class at jim's... Take a month or two
Check out this stove. From the video, it appears to be a difficulty level 1 when it comes to assembly and operation.
Interesting!Quote:
