In order to heat the shelter we thought that we would try a "Semi Permanent" Woodstove. In all to date we have spent about $11.00 making this stove ($8.00 was cutting the metal). I am confident that this stove will heat the shelter more than adequately! Join us as we learn through trial and error how to make a Wood Stove.

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

  • @beeterolds

    Cause I didn't have one :)

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

  • @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.

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

  • @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? :)

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

  • 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

  • put a pizza a in there jp :)
