How to make a pot belly stove part 5

THis shows how the intake valve is welded onto the stove and the current state of work on the project. This air valve was removed in the final build and an air wash system fitted. I am now preparing an e-book on making a pot belly stove with more info and tips - if any one is interested please let me know . . . Mac

Good stuff mate. I didn't think of making a seperate ash container on mine but now I'll just have to trawl the hedgerows for another one.

Hi OMD, Nice Post!!

One question, will you be welding/ fixing in a plate inside in front of the flue to slow down the gases to try to get a secondary burn??

If so can you make a vidclip on this ??

Im at the planning stage with my own calor gas bottles so am Very interested in your construction ...

Keppup the good work !!

Many Thanks - Robert Basset North Wales , UK

Hi Robert - Yes I have fixed a baffle plate into the stove - made from the bit I cut out for the front window/door. I have video of it and will upload it soon. I am also working on a air screen for the glass to keep the glass clear (seems to work OK) so I'll post that too - I was hoping it would be ready for Christmas but it wasn't to be . . .. keep in touch if you need any help . . . . OMD
