Semi Permanent Shelter - Woodburning Stove 1

[kirimikium]

someone needs to invest in a welder. 

[bobinmissouri]

hello Dave how is the stove working? oh and Merry Christmas Dave and Family

[BushcraftOnFire]

@bobinmissouri

Yes.. the stove still works Bob! Many blessings to you and yours.. Have a wonderful week

[clamzo1]

Those aren't 7/16" bolts, they're 1/4 x 20tpi bolts, which requires a 7/16" socket to tighten.

[xMrjamjam]

i dont know why but you remind me of dave canterbury :P

[Dem0D1ck]

I appreciate the practicality of this stove but, R U Really going to lug all of this stuff around in the bush?

[BushcraftOnFire]

@Dem0D1ck

Honestly it depends on what I'm doing.. I probably wouldn't carry this stove all the time.. but if i was going out with my family.. yep.. I'd bring it because it makes life easier. Will it go in my BOB? Probably not :)

[mc01236]

the chimney was impressive :)



[FixedByDoc]

pretty neat...

[Bushcraftarizona]

Fyi the inner steel on a old water heater will work well too. Very thick wall so heat retention is good and can be had for free too.

[CarCraze4]

Hey, on of you're other videos, you show a very nice folding camp stove. Could you send me a link to a place that sells one of those? I looked a bunch and could'nt find one. Thanks!

[BushcraftOnFire]

@CarCraze4

I got it from Campingsurvival (DOT) com.. Hope that helps

[CarCraze4]

@BushcraftOnFire Ok thanks



[JoshC0R3]

i have seen something simular to this using an old metal mail box already has a door and the chimmney came out the back on top where its flat

[jackjbrandt]

This is pretty innovative. Thanks for the great idea.

[mnhvide]

You did again! cheap is more!

[bigajosep]

looks good. you may have thought of this already, but getting old ash out of it may be troublesome

[BushcraftOnFire]

The bottom lip is only 1" Josep... It's pretty easy to scrape the ashes out.. No big problem at all

[D0cTerG0nZ0]

could you use a 5 gallon metal bucket with a lid for this? thanks 5*'s

[BushcraftOnFire]

Doc...

You sure "can" (pardon the pun) Just make sure that the top fits on tightly.. Let us know how it works..

[D0cTerG0nZ0]

I sure will. Thanks for the reply!

[jwilson004athotmail]

Dave,

I have a nice piece of Saguaro rib that would make a great handle on that damper!! Let me know. . .

Jake

[BushcraftOnFire]

How do you think it would hold up to the heat Bro? I'm willing to try it if it won't combust in my hand.. LOL!

[jwilson004athotmail]

I think it will be alright, I have made a few tobacco pipes out of them as gifts, and they seem to hold up pretty well.

[brutallindigo]

Wow my shelter sucks compared to yours ...Thanks for the ideas and the vid .

[yellowlabrador]

the tin can won't last a week

[ryanjd2006]

that stove has a great reputation to up hold.

thanks for this video dave this is exactly what i am going to do with my semi perm shelter in my personal space!!!

[grappler321]

Can't wait 2 see it working

[pappyhighlife]

Hah Hah ha... Davey old boy you are the cats meow. A stellar plan and a stellar stove. Very impressive. Oh and speaking of forum inside messages, I haven't forgot the lip balm, just letting it lay fallow for a bit. :)

[BushcraftOnFire]

@pappyhighlife

My son made me a neck pouch.. and guess what the ONLY thing I have in it right now is... LOL!

[wolfuntamable]

Has Monster replaced Mountain Dew as the official Pathfinder beverage? ;)

[AndrewXAnarchy]

I like the idea.

I've been looking at those 20L "Mini Kegs". I thought they could be used like this.

[elpidi0526]

Now...THIS is an awesome idea. On to part two!!

[jprEd1973]

Excellent tutorial. I look forward to seeing it in use. I could also see it being used for a hide smoker with very little modification due to your flue. Great work, thank you.

[beast12101]

great work with simple stuff.

[Bloodynavallint]

awesome dave

you should name the stove "the canterbury"

unless that would be weird LOL

[Kamoyaker]

I like it. I'm always a big fan of improvised gear and stuff. I like the use of a heavy steel container for the stove.

[sraike]

Dave, you area master fabricator. That's looking to be a dandy stove. On to Part 2...

[anyonefindAMERICA]

Nice work with what you have brother, it will do just fine!

[darthwelt]

I like the idea and the capacity is needed for the size of the shelter it's going in.

[msamour]

As stated by others this is an excellent idea. I am glad I saw that video today. I am even more glad you posted it. I will definitely keep that in mind when I want to build a small wood stove at a very affordable price. you consider a trap door at the bottom so that you could remove the ashes?

[nickbownz]

I think I would have chosen something larger, like an oil drum, and oriented it upright, that way its still got a relatively small footprint in the shelter, but has more room for a bigger fire, and if the chimney is offset off the side, you have a good cooking surface. Also, though it would cost more, just using a piece of ducting for the chimney would have been a quicker way to get er done.

[BushcraftOnFire]

@nickbownz

The shelter is only 7'X4.5' and doesn't really need that large of a stove. As for the chimney.. I could have used ducting but it took about 30 minutes to build the chimney.. and was fun.

[nickbownz]

hey, that's why it's your stove not mine, :D either way it's a very cool idea, major kudos,

[talltreehill7]

thats cool dave

shows what a bit of recycling can do

[carveawoodeneye]

monster can is a nice touch!!

[jdinky3]

wow thats gonna be a pretty cool stove dave

[darkcolmar]

dave, if you took a semi-small steel barrel, you could have a stove with a cooking surface. Of course you could always cut one end off and weld a flat chunk if steel to do that as well.

[cujomojo2007]

Yep, Dave should lay off the Monster, it's not good for him. It's just false energy.

[darkcolmar]

This...is...AWESOME!!!

[Diopterman]

Really neat idea!!!

[ledzeppie]

first!
