Semi Permanent Shelter - Woodburning Stove 2

[bigdogbuc]

Never would have thought of it. My compressor has been acting a little funny lately, now I know what I'll use it for if it goes. Thanks!

[T4EVER1000]

Ahhhhhh...I LOVE Monster Energy!!! Great stove Dave.

[beeterolds]

why didnt you just use a length of exhaust pipe instead of a bunch of soup cans linked together?

[BushcraftOnFire]

@beeterolds

Cause I didn't have one :)

[Set2Survive]

Hey Dave, I made one of these awhile back and I found that I needed to make air vents or my fire would end up smothered. I ended up finding an old charcoal grill and took the damper vent and put it on. Just a thought for you to mull over

[zane000000000]

you could have just kept the part he cut out on the side for a door

[BushcraftOnFire]

@zane000000000

Could have... but it was 1/4" too small the whole way around :) Remember he cut it out with a torch.. If it had been critical.. I would have made a much better door.

[oogp]

put a pizza a in there jp :)

[kileydogg]

need you a couple of air vents,,you fire is oxygen starved everytime you shut that door.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@kileydogg

Actually the draft system works very well.. since the door isn't tight. We thought about putting Fire rope around the door.. and cutting vents.. but it wasn't necessary.. so why do it? :)

[DIMTIM1000]

Thanks Dave. BTW, I was checking out a few related videos after watching yours, and I noticed that the guy that cut your holes in the tank, used a torch.

One of the related videos that was done, the guy that did his suggested using a drill to make a starter hole, and then cutting out your door and flue holes using a jig saw with a fine-tooth, metal cutting blade, and cut at full speed. Thanks again !

[DIMTIM1000]

Nice video Dave, Thanks! Gave me some great ideas for making a small camp stove for myself. Just wondering...did you happen to make the damper for your stove pipe from one of the can lids ?

[BushcraftOnFire]

@DIMTIM1000

Yes I Did....works well

[novoiperkele]

Amazing craftsmanship!

[genetrumbo]

You are changing the world in more than one way with your videos. They are lifesaving in the case of my Brazilian friends. But it is obvious you are good parents and have a good marriage. Doing bushcraft videos as a family is a wonderful way to teach lessons about life to kids, and it will help them develop self-confidence and a sense of self-worth. So many kids have nothing to do to contribute to their family's well-being, and the teen suicide rate is soaring because of it.

[fordlukebo]

jd weld?

[BushcraftOnFire]

@fordlukebo

JB Weld

[jadx21]

@fordlukebo jb weld can melt. thats what happend to me

[musicoutsidethebox]

you need a vent for that fire in the stove

[Majorupheaval]

Dave, I wouls seriously consider building a cob around that thing, once you have it installed.

[QUAIL72]

There is a product called permablanket used for kiln construction that would work great wired to th inside of the door. It is made from spun kaolin and would seal the door as well as prevent the door from getting hot. Even with 2000 degree heat on one side it would be barely noticable on the oppisite side. A soft kaolin brick could also be used as a door. It's easily carved into any shape with any pocket knife. In some places it can be found in nature. volcanic ash rock. Weighs almost nothing.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@QUAIL72

Great tip.. thanks for sharing it!

[canastasiou68]

A hub cap could make a good door

[SteveWaddell1]

Hey BushcraftonFire, I built this same stove after seeing it on your channel. This is a great idea. I have burned some pretty good sized fires in mine using logs about 4 inches thick and it worked great. I also have a small grate that I put on the top handle and it cooks food really good. I saw somebody post about putting sand in the bottom but like I said I have had some monster fires in it and the is no damage to the bottom at all. Thanks for the idea. It was easy to build and works great!!!

[TadTheTinker]

Two things have come to mind. Well actually three. An inch of sand in the bottom of that would really help prevent the bottom from burning out. Without that though, you could make a minor modification to the chimney and have a great portable stove.

Make the chimney modular so that it would fit into the stove. There is a handle on top so the stove becomes portable. Also, if you flatten out the top of the cylinder a bit it could become a cooking surface to set pans and such like onto.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@TadTheTinker

All great ideas Tad.. thanks so much for the input! Be Blessed!

[DCVU2]

Pretty cool attempt on that door, do you think you could build a rocket stove?

[BushcraftOnFire]

@DCVU2

I have built rocket stoves.. and actually tried to recreate one in a video called "Stone Rocket Stove" Hope that Helps

[DCVU2]

@BushcraftOnFire I appreciate your response. The stone rocket stove video you made isn't what I was expecting. I would call it part 1, because I can see potential in the thing. Way to go though.!!!

[pumkinvine]

Wouldn't the piece you cut out be the right shape for the door?

[BushcraftOnFire]

@pumkinvine

Yes.. it would be the right shape.. but would be 1/8" too small to fit back on without welding something to it.

[pumkinvine]

@BushcraftOnFire lol

[My1968Impala]

I would recommend shelling out about $100 and get a barrel stove kit, with a 30 or 55 gallon metal drum. Bigger, much more heat, smokeless door, safer, and real stovepipe. Also, there sure were alot of dry leaves under and around your invention while it was burning. But hey, it looks like it works for you.

[callmenort]

the piece thats cut out for the door hole makes a good door,just tack weld flat strap around the edges and drop it back in the hole , instal a hinge

[jmg1957]

well done.

[AReptileMan]

Nice little stove. Next time use the part you cut out for the door that way it has the same curve.

[wileycsg]

weld plate to top of stove to warm up water for tea

[AlexAvet53]

The Russian man said nicely. If you are showing how to make the stove in the wilderness, then where from one can get all these things in wilderness.

If you are using tools, bolts and cement then why you get this ugly result.

Also there is unproper air ventilation technik and no cleaning technik.

This type of stoves should be hidden , but not to be shown to the world.

[cory18011801]

It wont burn your shelter down, and keeps you warm!

[ACC200ACC]

Ерунда какая то, если это печь созданная в полевых условиях - то это обман. В полевых условиях нет болтов, газовых и прочих баллонов эпоксидных смол и нормальных инструментов.

Если это печь сделана инструментами, то это тоже ерунда. Вся кривая и кособокая. Из каких то банок. И это имея инструменты! Не предусмотрен доступ воздуха в топку, не предусмотрена чистка топки.Нет искрогасителя(может случиться пожар)

Таких печек стеснятся надо а не всему миру показывать

[BushcraftOnFire]

@ACC200ACC

While I appreciate your comment.. not everything is meant to be "field made" This was more for a base camp.. or permanent camp. It was for ideas on how to make a stove out there. not the end all. For the record... I have found many things in the bush that could be used in this fashion. Thanks again for the comment.

[bluebird1422]

@ACC200ACC In english please

[chabochi1]

the chimney needs a rain protector, so rain doesn't fall down the chimney.

[Rhinoch8]

I think you should drill a hole in the stove under where the fire goes, and add a tube with a valve that takes air OUTSIDE the shelter. Then it would have an adjustable air supply (your door is close tight with chimney rope), it wouldn't take the warm air from the shelter (and then sippin cold air into it through your shelter's eventuals leaks), and as the fire is in a external air circuit from the shelter, it reduces carbon monoxyd poisoning risks, if not all.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@Rhinoch8

Good tip Rhino.. Thanks for it.. and your support

[GrizAdams111]

guy sounds like red green.

[pyroman675]

yo could probably make the chimney bigger to stop the smoke coming from out of the door. and get a few air vents in there or a grate at the bottom

[SECRETBOL]

Good use of what you have.

[MrBillTroop73]

Since the end of your stove is dome shaped, it may be easy enough to find a stainless steel bowl what would fit that curvature. Then just put your hinge on it.

Just a thought.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@MrBillTroop73

That's a great idea Bill.. We had actually thought about doing that in the future.. we will have to see!

[pyroman675]

hey you could probably use EZ droping i have been thinking about it a for awhile to use on my stove's. you can also use exhaust rap tape(fabric fire proof) but you can use that fire cocking to put it around your door and then stick that on you door for an air tight seal/spark proof. but it looks like it needs a bit of air in there

[evifj]

Yeah I agree. You need some sort of dampner on the front so you get a good flow of air in and out. I am actually gonna try making a real small double barrel stove out of two 16.4oz propane bottles. won't hold much wood, but its really just for fun.

[tulius01]

Great stove! Fire needs air to burn so I'm not sure if it's a good idea sealing this stove door. Any stove door I know of has air holes in it,  most of them are adjustable. Any reason you have not cut the openings yourself with your angle grinder you mentionend using to tightening up those cruedly burnend holes. Cutting discs are inexpensive and one cutting disc would have been plenty to cut those opening.

Anyway you did a great job with that stove. Thank you for sharing!

[damanadahour]

rednecks and cameras don't mix...they make some cool, crazy stuff though.

[flintstone9812]

If a person didn't have the old air tank they might be able to buy the largest size chimney pipe available and use that as the stove body. I have seen it in 10 inch which would be fairly close.

[wiihaward94]

you're really amazing, you made a stove out of an oxygen tank, I am in awe!! all of your videos are amazing :) thanks for making this

[wall2rockclimber]

good stuff guys, it looks like it will be great for the cold months coming up.

mike

[kevporteretna1]

Great Video, my friends and I was making a fort awhile ago and wanted to make a wood stove but never really figured how to. Now im going to do one for my upcoming shelter.

Thanks!

[zoolanderfred]

That is a really neat stove idea, great job! Just an idea, you could spray paint it a flat black with some high temp. grill paint. Or maybe brown, green, and some black, so it's camo. I know it's going in a debris shelter, but paint is fairly cheap and you could give an awesome demo.

[godsend420]

lol at the monster can i dont drink it cuz its nasty my opinion have you ever tried a energy drink called "bawls" its in a blue glass bottle or can thats an energy drink again opinion

cant wait to see how its used 5*

[BushcraftOnFire]

@godsend420

I don't drink energy drinks at all.. IMO they are horrible for your body..

[InTheSticks1881]

Use rock below and on top to cover most of all of the stove and it will warm the space much slower and it will also radiate warmth for hours.

[gerg927]

you should put some carborators on it

[teloscaylos]

That is such an interesting idea. 5/5

[muddieair]

great job...now all u need is some copper tube,mash and sugar..wendals whiskey (kinda has a ring to it)eheh

[eskimolishic]

Thanks for great video

[grappler321]

Thats spot-on.I'm going to put 1 of these in my allottment shed.

[buckshot752]

I believe your getting the smoke because the wind is blowing on you stack and through the door at the same time. this creates equal pressure in the stove. if you block off the wind from the stove and get the fire going you will create a vacuum in the flut, the all the smoke will go up the chimney. do not block off all the air coming into the stove through. you regulate the rate of burn by adjusting the air thur you stove. Im sure you already knew this! posted it for other viewers. Great vids!

[BushcraftOnFire]

@buckshot752

Yes.. that's correct Buck.. but we wanted to burn off the paint outside of the shelter :)

[buckshot752]

Dave, That's a pretty cool looking stove.

I think it is just the right size for your shelter. keep a low fire or it will run you out. I remember my grandmother build a fire in an old pot belly every morning. got so hot we had to get dressed in the hallway. You ever heard of the lenolium quickstep? wood burning stoves bring back old memories. Good ones too. Yall have lots of fun making memories for you kids! I might just try this myself.

[wolfbrother2501]

um if the back end was as round as the front you could use that and a hammer to completly round off your door making a slightly tighter seal. i think lol

[MaximumDensity1]

Please forgive my ignorance on the subject but, I DO live in south FL.

How does the stove get air intake to keep the fire going? It looked, as though, when you opened the door, the flam came to full potential.

What am I not understanding?

Thanks guys

5/5

[BushcraftOnFire]

@MaximumDensity1

Max.. no ignorance at all.. We aren't by any means finished with the stove yet.. There are a few things that we will be doing once the paint is fully burned off.. We fully intend to put a damper on the front door.. as well as double wall the chimney and possibly pound the top flat (thanks viewers) for a pot to fit on :)

[MrCableguyken]

Great job Dave, I have a steel tank laying around and that would be a great addition for when we go camping....I wouldnt need that tall a chimney and its semi portable ...thanks for the great demo

[northpostman]

Great idea, when it goes in the shelter how are you going to insulate the roof around the pipe to keep it from catching fire?

[MrCableguyken]

Just like a real stove...with a larger pipe and some fiberglass. that would be my guess.

[scottishbushcrafter]

you should flatten the top so you can put pots on it( just an idea)

[ajelliottjr]

Dave, Tam, that is so cool...err I mean hot... Of course My 1st thought is where to put the coffee pot... but that is so great, can't wait to see it mounted in the shelter. - Andy

[Kaboom0623]

I'm surprised you haven't placed a small flat plate on top of the tank to act as a heating plate for heating coffee or food. You should be able to get enough heat to cook on that plate with a decent fire in the stove.

[elpidi0526]

Dave, that was excellent. Can't wait to see the follow-up videos on this. Just excellent.

[jprEd1973]

Great video, you should have no trouble heating your shelter. Thank you.

[woodlandcammo27]

A cheap potbelly stove that doesn't weigh a ton! I used to work at a hardware store. That hinge may rust on you. They may have stainless ones or paint with stove black paint. Also, check out double walled vent pipe that they make for hot water heaters. I am not sure on the heat rating but the outer walls of it stay cool while the inner absorbs heat. Can't wait to see it in your shelter! Just be safe.

[chrissept21]

SWEET an old keg works good too

i think you should put some draft holes in the stove so you get a hotter fire if your haveing troubles with that and then close them off with tin can doors

[gorsekiller]

Great improvised stove Dave! Thanks for taking the time to show us your work.

Just a thought my friend.if you seal up the door as planned, you may actually prevent the fire from breathing properly and that will hinder the burn.

[gorsekiller]

You may need to cut a hole low down in the front or even in the side of the stove to allow air into the fire. The air flow could be increased or decreased by a flap of some sort which would allow you to control the fires burn time and intensity.

As I say, its just a though.

jim

[dylankocsis]

Could have used the tank steel that the guy cut out at the front as the door.

[pk066392]

i made a similar stove out of the air tank from a semi truck to heat my ice fishing shack. it really wors pretty well and the materials were free. great video dave.

[donthelawdog]

Dave W, your are starting to hit them out of the park! Great video series from the start of the semi-permanent shelter all the way through to this one. Keep'm coming

[Ootpac]

Use a hammer on the door to make it fit better. With the door closed, hammer down around the sides and it should form around the rounded front of the tank

[bigjim379]

That should really heat the shelter. Great idea Dave and Tam. You should weld a flat piece of iron on top that way you could heat water on top for coffee or tea in case of a rainy day if you get it hot enough Tam could cook on it.

[TheAnthemsOfTime]

Dave,

Your family's ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. I have seen these very types of tanks go for less than a buck at an estate sale. I was pondering an easy break down portable version, and the gears are already turning. Thanks for the great idea!

[BushcraftOnFire]

@TheAnthemsOfTime

Thanks for the kind words Kyle... This one is easily transported. If i had only screwed on the chimney I could take it off and carry the stove from place to place. As is.. I can carry it still.. but it's bulky with the chimney.

[matt4270]

Nice stove Dave! I'm always fiddling with some type of stove for a deck heater/ mosquito chaser!

[Bloodynavallint]

Awesome its even got a handle

good video

[StormRider308]

Awesome video, finally someone makes it look feasable! lol! 5/5

[sraike]

Awesome Dave! I'd add a cooking rack to the top so you can boil water and cook your food. That should be a perfect stove for your shelter.

[medicjimr]

Great idea and use of old air tank

[EbolaV1rus]

That is awesome!

[mem7048]

It will work better if you put an adjustable damper on the front of the stove under the door. Picture someone smoking a pipe with their thumb over the bowl, it doesn;t matter how long the stem is there will not be enough draw to ignite the bowl.

[woodcrafter76]

Dave and Tam, That stove is sweet. Should keep your shelter toasty. It's amazing what some imagination can acomplish.

[darthwelt]

I like it. Can't wait to see it in the shelter!

[spisblog]

David, Another great project!

I didn't notice an adjustable air intake so you can control the fire. Are you planning on adding one, or will the natural airflow and chimney damper be enough to adjust for a good burn?

[msamour]

Thank you very much.

[john29smith1]

you could have used the peice that came out of the cylinder for the door. (if you saved it)

[carveawoodeneye]

a true work of art!!

[budvics]

great job

[woodsmithms]

Nice simple stove. If you can find a small disc off a seed spreader or disc harrow it should fit right over the end of that cylinder. You'll have to plug the hole in the center but that's easy to do with a welder or a bolt and a couple of large washers. You might be able to build up a gasket out of high-temp RTV silicone if you can't find stove gasket material to fit, too.

[darkcolmar]

I can't believe I never thought of this myself. It's so simple!

[hamm336]

very kool

[Kaboom0623]

True it is cool to look at ... if your stack gets hot a few metal coat hangers and larger cans and you can make a gas style double wall chimmney. Just shape the coat hangers to the inner can off the outer can.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@Kaboom0623

I plan on making a "doule wall: to go through the shelter wall.. I will show it when I do. I might put a plate on top.. but haven't decided on that yet. We also already plan to make a damper on the front as well.. One day at a time :)

[SassafrasHomestead]

Awesome video, Dave and Tam. I can't wait for the 'double wall' video!
