In this video. I would like to show you in step by step how to make a simple Tent Wood Stove. Size can be adjusted according to your need. pleas watch through this video and SUBSCRIBE my channel for more videos. Thanks for watching..
Love the use of salvaged Olive Oil cannister, and the savvy use of improvised metal sheet bending jigs. Although the stove is not air-tight, the open air tent set-up would not create or allow dangerous accumulation of carbon monoxide. Really impressive fabrication of fully functional parts from simple raw materials and modern screws, washers, and rivets. The thing was clean and well planned. Encourages me to give it a try, recognizing that the apparent simlicity and seeming effortlessness, is actually the result of much experience with the tools and materials. This was like watching the performance of a virtuoso musician.
OK I have a cast iron cookstove heavy and only able to haul it on a sled or trailer into campsites...but now thanx to your time on this tutorial I will be making one like yours!!! ;)
this was an AD and i watched the WHOLE thing.. subbed. and i been thinkin about making a 'small' smoker out of a used propane tank with a welder attatching a side box etc. this is up my alley
Thanks for sharing! No welding, no grinding wheel major skills.... Really good 👍 I'm trying to build my own 😊 Obviously you're very skilled, that helps! That's why it looks so easy when we see you... I wouldn't even think of trying to build the pipes 😳🤯 Keep sending your great ideas!!
Nice job! Well planned and executed. I thought the pipe jig for shaping your own stove pipe was genius. I may have missed it, but can you please provide the hole diameter (again?) but more importantly what size pipe did you use (O.D. of the pipe) for shaping the stove pipe? Thanks! A couple suggestions (as I have been taking notes for over a month now to build my own beast soon! 😁): 1. Pull the top and insert a baffle under the stove pipe. Make it the length of the stove less a couple inches or so to allow air flow. It will help create a cleaner burn and a bit more efficiency. 2. I LOVED the home made chimney cap. Again: genius. Add one more thing: wrap a fine mesh metal screen to help reduce any chance of tinder from blowing out and falling on the tent. A baffle will most likely be the first line of defense, but minimally I would at least add the mesh. Note: Some retail designs incorporate a mesh at the base. Problem with that is it clogs easily and needs to be cleaned more often. Again, a good baffle might reduce that, but I personally think it makes sense to do it at the top. Now there is no chance of a blockage. 3. Lastly (quite honestly, should be #1 😆): make a damper. Do this and experiment with the “top down” fire method. This combined with a closed damper and a touch of air input, will provide much longer and efficient burn times. Less wood. Less stoking. More sleeping on a winter night 😎 Do a search on Ytube for “top down” burning. It has changed the way I do fires now. Goes against what we all normally do, but trust me… it simply works! And here is the skinny on another reason why to to it inside a stove: A cold chimney has no draft. So when the fire is started at the base, it takes longer for heat efficiency to create enough “pull”, which in turn is why smoke blows back into a tent (or house). BUT… with the top down method, another gain is the fact that heat is generated just below the stack, establishing an immediate “pull” of warm air up the stack. It draws out the smoke instantaneously by heating the stack faster. Now. This might might prove an issue with an internal baffle… which is why MY version will incorporate a sliding baffle… pull it forward for lighting a cold stove, slide it back after she comes up to temp! 😎😎😎 Thanks again for the great video! Best! Edit: I forgot to mention: Top down burning also helps with wet wood. Search videos. The large wet wood sits at the base, with the dry tinder at the top. As the fire slowly drops downward, the hot coals will dry out the layers below! 🤨
Burning galvanized metal in an enclosed area can be very dangerous. Union sheet metal worker here, suggesting to use 16 gauge black iron as thin metal that you can bend with your hands may burn through. Not to mention the harmful fumes that are produced when heating galvanized metal to such temperatures as a stove.
Are the galvanized chemicals burned off once the metal grays over 100% making it safe or does the galvanize always give off toxic fumes even after "burned-in"?
Hey you shouldnt use galvanized steel.. They produce toxic fumes when under a flame but good work over all gonna use this video for inspiration for my build for a oil wick heater
Very well done. However, I wonder if that very cheap metal can sustain a fire for very long hours. and what would happen during very cold weather knowing there will be a lot of contractions and expansions, and very fast. Also, the bottom may melt if you don't put rocks or a grid.
The stove is putting off poison gas as the oxidation burns off the metals that is very dangerous using it to cook on before completely burning stove and removing all the galvanized on stove
Great video! I like that you don't speed up anything so you can see everything step by step. Do you have a material list? I want to build one for a co-worker.
@@karzanhiking2635 if you post this info along with the sizes that you used in the video descriptions, it will save you and everyone a bunch of time! 😀Thank you
What knife is that you used to chop firewood with? Can that be bought or is that also homemade? And did you use anyplans or design this yourself? If you did could you please share them? Also you could use a ball of steel wool to further prevent sparks from buring holes in your tent. Great job I subbed. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.. yes it’s also homemade, the blade has been made by a blacksmith friend, and the handle and the leather sheath has been made by my self, I’m sorry I haven’t made any videos for it, hopefully In the future i will make a video and sharing it… thanks for your comment 👍😊
Yes, Yes that is very important. You must remove the chemicals. And did you clean your knife between chopping the wood and cutting the food. Very important, very important. And did you clean the top of the rock from all of the dirt. There are germs on the top of the rock if you did not clean the rock. And, did you wash your hands before eating, Very important. Thankyou Joe for pointing out that the chemicals must be removed. Very important, very important.
Hello Sir I'm a new subscriber and I just ran into your video. Seeing the way you made your wood stove was easy and to the point . I've 3 dozens of wood stove making and honestly yours was the best between all of them videos I've seen . Thank you for sharing . One question how come you didn't ad on the next tempered glass on the front ? I'd ad one if it were me . But to each his own . Thanks again for sharing. . Is it ok that I use your idea to make me a wood stove ?
Hello dear thanks for watching and subscribing my channel… well by the time I couldn’t get tempered glass yes you can if you want it. And of course you can use my idea to make your wood Stove I don’t mind if you want it and if you needed help please let me know I’ll be glad to help thanks again 😊
@@karzanhiking2635 Aww that's so kind of you to offer your help if I need it thank you very much for the offer . If anything I'll let you know . Thanks again !!!
Are they just regular screws you used in the stove or are they some kind of special rivet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brilliant stove thank you I mean the screws use for attaching door hinges
Hello..thank for watching..yes sure if you find me on Facebook by ( Karzan Hiking) so I can send you a picture of dimensions with my pleasure..and I will be very happy to help…
