JAKE IS 3 WEEKS AHEAD OF ME I THOUGHT OF AUTOMOTIVE EXAUST PIPE WOULD WORK. GET A ELBOW AND A STRAIGHT NIPPLE AND YOU COULD MAKE YOUR OWN DAMPER. LOOKING FOWARD TO MAKING MY OWN.
why didn't you just use the whole keg instead of cutting it? you would have been able to put more wood in it if it was full sized and it would have burned longer. and i think that a stove pipe that size for a stove that size is a little big.
Other than size reduction and use of the material for the door,, Is there any other motive behind taking out the middle section? Is this ok to use in a shed/ treehouse? What is the life of one of these kegs?
A basic vegetable oil. It has to be done again if it gets wet and isn't wiped down right away, but I haven't really found it to be an issue, in my experiences. Thanks for the great question! Peace.
Most definitely. I was trying for light weight as well as decent size for a hooch or tarp shelter. The stone would be a touch heavy, but would certainly help hold heat. Thanks! Peace.
If memory serves, I used 1/8" steel pop rivets for this project. The biggest thing is that they be steel and not aluminum, as the temps this joker reaches are more than sufficient to melt aluminum. I hope that helps. Good luck on yours, and I hope to maybe see a video on it? Either way, thanks for the keen comment! Peace.
No problem, man! This was a version of a stove Tinny (MiniBullDesign) made a while back, I just did a how-to for those who have the desire to do for themselves. I am glad your buddy liked it and found the instructions understandable. Have fun using it, I hope it works well for you! Thanks for the comment! Peace.
in the video your looking for 2" pipe, why not use exhaust pipe from car exhaust it's thicker than stove pipe so it would probably last as long, or go stainless.
Stainless may be the way to go. Weight in an issue for me, as I have to carry the joker, you know? Thanks for the idea, I will investigate that line of thought. Peace.
I have used it on more than a few camping trips over the last year or so. I use it for both warmth and for cooking. Seriously, though, while I like beer occasionally, I really don't drink that much. Thanks for the comment! Peace.
Won't the steel automotive pipe be to heavy in weight?, you may have to reconfigure the output pipe, I would suggest a steel cleanout pipe(Tee) to act as a leg in the back to hold the whole set up straight and balanced. This stove is a fantastic Idea, and it gives me an excuse to drink alot of beer. I will start working on a mini keg soon myself. Thanks for showing us the how too.
No problem. It's easy, recycling and very useful. I am going to make a video on an adjustable wood-gas stove made from vegetable cans pretty soon here. Just have to wait for the paint to dry! Thanks for the comment! Peace.
In this case, It helps to prevent rust, as these mini-kegs are just mild steel. Sometimes the black stove paint also serves the purpose of heat retention for maintaining certain temperatures, such as alcohol boiling temp. for pressurized alcohol stoves, or for maintaining conductivity, like in some of the soda and beer can pots. I am outdoors a fair bit, and in a variety of conditions. Sometimes, especially in cold weather, that black paint can really help, along with a priming system. Peace.
Thanks, Bill. My cousin, an eagle scout in Massachusetts, has one of these that I gave him. He has used it in at least 4 outings with his troop. Peace.
I thank you for this video I was going to experiment with this same idea but I was going to use a Pop Corn tin that are on sale this time of the year. Great design, Now I have to try this out. Im even thinking of adding a griddle on top! Have you thought about adding a Flue to the stove pipe to conserve on the fuel? I also agree with Robert on the idea of sink drain pipe, It just might work. Again Outstanding Design!!! Keep up the good work Josh!
I will definitely look into a 3" flue for fuel consumption control. The drainpipe idea is a path I am looking down also. I will keep updating as it changes. Thanks for the ideas! Peace.

Do you think placing a slab of soap stone on the top would add to the heat retention capability?

I'm about to start working on a 5 gallon milk can stove soon. But I think I will start a Heinikin stove this weekend lol.

Oh, what size rivets did you use? I'm presuming that the smallest grip range would be ideal, but I haven't drunk the beer yet so I'm not sure.
Would 1-3mm grip range be suitable, or should i go for the next size up?
