I wanted the tipi warm this winter. I have been getting ready for snow fall. We had our first frost a few days ago! I built a stove made out of stone. It has a steel plate in front for cooking. I knew winter here in Vermont would bee too cold, for an open fire. The stone in the prototype held heat for 24 hours after the fire was out.

  • how well does the clay and ashes woork for mortar

  • @carolinasurvival It worked well for something I did not intend to stay there forever. I am moving soon. When I leave I have to leave the spot almost as I found it. If this had been built on my own land I would have used mortar mix... I would not have to move the tepee there. The whole thing is under reconstruction now, so I can run a water line through to heat the hot tub. It was not real easy to take down. I had trouble bending to put the wood in. I am not a spring chicken, haha...

  • You go girl !!!! great work

  • Thanks!

  • Wow, what a great stoveplace! Did you finish the stove now? How will you be able to transform it, the stones for the front won't be cemented together? I love how you made your own morter!

  • Thanks Nancy!

    The stove is almost finished! In the front i have been using an old cookie sheet for the stove door. I want to buy a stove kit door, or find an old wood stove door for the front.

    The stones keep the heat for a LONG time!

  • amazing...well done u..:-)

  • looks cool, have you looked at rocket stoves?

  • Yeah! At last a real thing! I'm planning to build a J frame rocket stove into my tepee (vid coming). They use less wood and can be made entirely out of clay.

  • Cool, thanks for sharing

  • I love it!

  • @EarlandPatty ha ha well thank you for the info and i hope you are able to build another tipi.
