Thanks for your comment. It was an enjoyable build. Often comment to my wife, "too darn expensive! I'll make it myself!" Of course, most often that's not the case. Haha!
@@ahilbilyredneksopinion Work has relocated my family and I've yet to set the new garage with 220 / welding set-up otherwise I'd craft one up for the fun of it. I'll touch base if/when I happen to have the "shop" ready to go.
This is a superbly designed, precisely cut and meticulously constructed, rock solid tent stove! Your outstanding design and very high standard of workmanship made this stove assemble easily and reliably and the numerous neat touches like the securing points for the assembled side walls, the expanded mesh screen on the door and the fold down legs with their central, lock bar are very well thought out. To have gotten such a large, strong and weighty stove to fit together so well took skill and meticulous attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your masterpiece of a stove, it futhers the make your own gear knowledge base and will inspire others to build, though some may find it too demanding and way above their skill levels (myself included!).

Thanks Sly though it was originally chasing my own f-ups to build these. Now that it's laid out a bit a heck of those f-ups are less likely for others.
@@chaztaz6562 so many projects I am unable to do because I lack welding skills. Definitely something I'm wanting to teach myself. Me and electricity have never got along
If you have plans or you wanna make some I would be very interested. I’m gonna build your stove this week and hopefully take it out this weekend for an OTC archery hunt.
Archery otc in January? AZ for deer? I built three originally as it works for the 4x10 sheet cut outs (+,-) and worth paying for their cuts vs my cutting wheels from a grinder tool. I don't have a large shear. Would be nice... :) didn't draft plans though making the equal hinged sides was the first step. From there attached to the 18g bottom. (Edges were bent. Not tacked angle) I have a video of a harbor freight metal bending brake I modified. It was used for all my bent edges ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8j-PVlubS6w.html The sides define the height needed for the front and back... If you think it's fun fabricating cool usable items, this was a blast though it came with a few chased f-ups along the way. Haha! It's worked great on our elk and deer hunts this past season (Montana) and we'll take it for Spring bear, etc. I have a heavy similar build, all 18g w/angle iron vs bent edges though I, by far, like this design much better! Best to ya!
Chuck T. Yeah I’m down in AZ. Trying to track down a big desert muley. They just started to rut. I’m a welder by trade so putting it together should be ok. I’ll send a picture when I’m done...they’re still selling deer tags if you’re interested ha!
Be sure to bend 90* or tack angle along the top front and rear interior edges. Place the hinge where a bit (minimal though touching) of pressure is pressed. It will minimize the little peeps of smoke through the hinged line though even w/o, it's minimal. Made one with bent top/bottom's front / rear edge bent 90* 1" and of course, shaped/cut the sides to match length. Once the stove pipe heats up enough to draft, it's good to go regardless depending on the moisture content of course. Dry standing is what we chop @ camp. At night, after a good fire to cook stove top, and pack with wood, we can shut the damper closed and it's worked great. Best to your hunt! Envious... we have extended season though it's for cwd issue.
