20MM Ammo Can Tent Stove Part 5 of 5

How to build a tent stove with a 20MM Ammo can

[@TheOldGunsmith58]

very good design but man you are long winded . I think you could have done the complete vid in about 10 min if you quit rambling

[@DannyWalker1949]

Well, I sorta like your "Cook Can". But, I have mixed feelings on the Top being the Wood placement for adding it to the stove. You have to Remove your cooking containers to add the Wood. (?) Also, where is the "Fiberglass Rope" to seal the Top to the Base? That Needs to added to it to be completely safe.

[@notwocdivad]

If I may suggest a further mod, In the front where the air intake is, lift that a little and cut a full width slot about 1 inch to 1 inch and a half deep. Then you can make an ash pan to slide in the bottom of the stove. Not only would this make emptying the ashes simpler but woud add another layer of metal between the fire and the bottom of the can. Just a thought, anyway that is the best thought out, best designed and best executed ammo can stove build I have seen. Well done from a UK camper. Dave

you all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!

@Bjorn Toby instablaster =)

[@bjorntoby3320]

@Rey Davian Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@bjorntoby3320]

@Rey Davian It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

[@reydavian3723]

@Bjorn Toby glad I could help =)

[@kellimitch2011]

Super cool! More accessories than a Kirby vacuum! Haha. I might give this a try some day! :)

[@megladon89]

Great video of a well thought out product! Thanks for sharing this!

[@mreed712]

Best Ammo Can stove design I've seen so far! Good job!

[@maplehouseknives]

Are you really going to remove the lid and stove pipe assembly just to be able to cook, with what essentially will become an open fire, inside your tent? With all the smoke coming from your stove, the food might be enjoyable if you don't smoke yourself out first. Aside from the really old military pot belly tent heater stoves, there is a reason why 99.99 % of wood burning stoves are front loading. In my opinion, the only thing worthy about this stove is the hang drying assembly. Drag this BEAST of a stove out into the bush for a weekend overnighter in minus 20 degree weather and I think you will quickly realize it is not as user friendly as you may think! Thanks for the upload and effort though!

[@lanescanner7063]

Okay, at first I was thinking you were a Rocket Surgeon building this......but now I'm SURE you are! : ). Good job on planning this, and the work is awesome! This is the best ammo can stove I've seen! I won't be looking for any more ideas on how to build one, it doesn't get any better than this. Thank you so much for the details, and taking the time to explain each step. Outstanding!! J.

[@richarddvll]

defiantly a great series love the video like the 20mm verses the 50 call a little bigger but not to big, one thing that might help too is a fiberglass cord gasket in the lid part that opens up and the back part of the lid it may make it more air tight and more efficient and I'm ordering my 20mm amo can right now cant say again great video

[@campingincolorado6432]

If the copper pipe is sweated together, you might want to avoid any high heat source that might melt the solder that holds them together, Me personal I would put in a door on the side to feed fuel wood into, and some easy access for clean out. other then that I like most of your ideas!

[@TheXJthatCould]

Awesome ideas great vid! this thing would be great for hammock camping, love the clothes hanger! only thing I wouldn't do is cook on it, don't want paint burning around my food, or smelling it when its warming me up, might get hungry lol.

[@jamesmcgowan82]

outstanding bit of kit im a keen camper in i would love 1 of these for my tent you have put a lot of thought in to this and out off all the videos on youtube this is by far the best 1 i have seen

[@surventorlist]

Thanks everyone for all the great comments. FYI I never cook my meals in the tent so in the day or early eve I take the stack off bring the stove outside the tent remove the whole top and cook. Once done I take the stove back in the tent put the top back on hook up the stack and warm the tent. Never have I made smoke in the tent when refueling. Here is the bad news I don't make this for sale. The parts and labor would cost about $400.00 and up no one would buy them. This was for fun and a few were made for family and friends. I made this video to show you all how to make one. Last year I also made a B.O.B.B. bug out bag buggy or a hunters cart. I soon plan to release a video of it on You Tube. Once again thanks for all the great commits.

[@GrnEagle1]

well done. well done. a lot of thought when into your stove. everyone should use your design. even my wifr loves it and whats one for the big 5 people canvas tent.

[@jldavis2474]

so, I would be interested in knowing how much you would want to sell one of those stoves for? also, loved the video's, will there be a video of a burnout or actual use?

[@GrnEagle1]

oh yea how much to make one for some one and ship it out. since like i said ammo can's are hard to find. hopefully you have a well stock of the ammo can's.lol

[@weatherstorms]

I would not put cookware on the grill due to soot. Stick to hotdogs, burgers, and whatever you want to grill with. I would use the lid for pots and pans so you don't have to worry about soot getting all over your cookware.

[@bjl1000]

Instead of grinding the handle off, why not turn it upside down and use the hinged lid as an access to remove the ashes? The bottom, now on the top, could be used to cook on.

[@timkunk3498]

Notice I haven't seen a burn in on this page since 2012, didn't like the split top? Or did the paint flame off?

[@NightSailor]

Good stove, great ideas. Loved the political crap too.!

[@badhat3051]

yes you made the stove (good job by the way) but someone else made the ammo can the expanded metal, and the pipe. So you had help in makeing the stove which was the Presidents point you had help along the way

[@usmcretired2112]

I just subscribed to your videos. How much would one of these already made cost a retired Marine?

[@emmahammond5088]

I want this stove.you should sell this.campers would love to have this.i would love to have this.its awesome man i tell you......

[@stevefoley3533]

Nice job. Its very functional and compact. Try not to sell to any Zombies.

[@leehoffman1282]

Hey bro, when are you gonna do a burn test /usage vid on your stove?

[@chrislewis9213]

Have you taken a base weight and one with your accessories packed in it/ with it?

[@ryanamys5125]

Nice work. Very well thought out.

[@evermore64747]

I watched all of your videos they were great for posting them... I liked your stove build very nice and thought out.. I have also make a couple of ammo can stoves too. I made one out of a 20mm and the other one of a 30mm my are called 9-n1 survival stoves, I found the smaller the vent the better, although my does have straight feet on it cause I steak my to the ground, I use mine in a 10' x 10; cabin tent and does work great.. I am glad to see you did use the bigger can too, cause nothing like trying to sleep and have to reload the stove all the time... thanks again for posting, look forward to seeing more...

[@williamwood6616]

This is the guy who helps me with all my bushcraft

[@albertjones4803]

this has got to be the best ammo can stove on you tube

[@congobob3562]

your meat will stick unless you flatten the grill surface

[@Red_Proton]

When do show firing it up? Have you sued it yet?

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

What's a Brot? And a skoo The thing you are holding is commonly known as a skewer? But I'm f....d if I know what a brot is?? Oh btw the things you put on skewers (apart from illiterate numties) are called Shish Kebaabs. Btw don't argue because you'll lose. Oh and ps by the time you're finished test burning that to get rid of the paint fumes you're going to be too old to lift it with all its extras...obvious you're a car camper lol!

[@rickridgeway905]

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) I think he means brat as in bratworst, a mid west style sausage.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Rick Ridgeway Oh and here was me thinking bratwurst was from Germany lol! (I kinda knew I was being a bit facetious as he got on my nerves by missing the point of making these stoves altogether lol) Thanks for replying anyway. ..I'm building one but one for the rugged Scottish Highlands outdoor no grid type situation. ..no wheels either. ..maybe a horse if I can get him to co-operate lol...he's such a humanised horse that he sometimes thiinks "carry it yourself" and other awkward horse thoughts lol! I still think that this would be a good stove for camping and roughing it so I'll probably make one despite his being so annoyingly mis-directed!

[@Valerifon1]

Just outstanding! Love all the accessories too! Thank you for sharing and I'm definitely building one! Cheers - Luther

[@tommylove8704]

What did you use for the accessory mounts on the side?

[@peanutworks]

This is one sweet stove !! great work men

[@TheTorkerman]

Some very nice ideas here, I wouldnt use all these features or ideas, but WILL be using some of them for sure. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@turboman4736]

That's really cool good job

[@paccalattets2868]

hi,how much for the stove as shown ?

[@husafel]

Excellent design!⚙️

[@pennilane8591]

Truly amazing.

[@johngardner2807]

Great stove,but I'm wondering how you joined the copper tubing. Seems to me if they are soldered,the heat will cause the joints to fail. I think I would use conduit tube,and weld the joints. Also, I Would rather not use it for outside cooking/BBQ. Just me,but I can always build a fire for that,and still use the stove for heating liquids,frying,etc.,so I don't have to move the stove.

[@LarGrin]

Excellent build, well thought out. And you are politically smart too!

[@paccalattets2868]

got yurself a subscriber...

[@tom87pate]

Outstanding! I suggest that you add a small Coleman portable camp oven type thing (small, lightweight, portable) for baking and I think you've got a humdinger.

[@alexthunder5034]

Good. Not great. But damn good. Just a little overboard. Too much weight for me with some of the accessories. I can turn skewers on two green sticks rested atop the grill grate. Also the heavy doubled up bolts a little overkill for me. I assume that piece of metal channel running diagonally across the box that you didn't talk about is to prevent warping and bowing of the sides? Good idea with the "junction box" cover coupled with a handle for air control. That was simple and efficient. The angle iron stand offs for the inside grate...too much weight for me there has to be a better simpler option. All in all good job. Now go build an Ar15 for your zombies ;)

[@pduncan742]

Slick is an understatement for what this bad boy Ammo stove is.. WOW thanks for sharing.. BTW what would you make one for?

[@sagebrushwrangler505]

Did you do a test burn?

[@martinnovotny4282]

Where is the burn?

[@JoelBenge]

You had me all along until the skewer attachments. Then you REALLY had me!! Love it! My only thinking is to make sure your hardware down in the fire are is stainless steel and not galvanized or zinc plated. As a homebrewer and BBQ enthusiast, I'm always concerned about heating plated stuff and offgassing. Not sure about the conduit cap at the front. That may be fine painted or not directly in touch with the fire. Anyhow, this is the best one of these I've seen so far. Great work!

[@leehoffman1282]

Great vid and presentation! Loved the accessories! I had a thin plate steel liner welded up for mine because the test burn peeled all the paint off it and I didn't like that. I also drilled a few holes below the lid line and used peg board shelving brackets to allow me to use the lid as a warming shelf when in bbq mode. I used a second can as a water heater in stove mode. A faucet tap on the second can provides hot water on demand when not cooking on the lid. Great job.

[@druid189189]

suggestion: Hire a body builder to haul it into the woods for you...lol. Just kidding. That was probably one of the most well-thought-out stoves I've ever seen.

[@nadshuge]

Lets see it in action

[@davidhunt6152]

Thanks for sharing your plans in such detail. It is an excellent design and I hope to make one just like yours unless I can come up with any additions. I hope you post other vids, you are very gifted in relaying your designs so that practically anyone can follow along. Thanks again, Dave

[@HeadZapChannel]

Thank you for taking the time to share your design! I am inspired!

[@GrnEagle1]

ggreat job on this wood stove/cook wonder. im gonna make one of these my self. as soon as i can find a .20mm ammo can. ammo cans seem to be hard to find now adays. but as soon as i do. THANK YOU for the design. GrnEagle out.

[@weatherstorms]

Please do more videos of this stove! Super impressed with your design!

[@BIGFOOT6869]

YOU TALK TOO MUCH.

[@bover3566]

Great design will use in my build. Can you let me know where you got the short flue with the dampener. I've looked everywhere and can't find it thanks Joe Great job

[@Phantasmos]

After watching several, this is by the Clearest, Best demo I have seen. Thank you for the ideas & for keeping truly free advise. You get another subsriber for keeping it Commercial Free!! :-) ☆☆☆☆☆

[@shtfprepared]

WOW man that is the best DIY stove I ever seen. Ta fais de la belle job mon ami. I would buy one of ya if you would make more. I never would have the ability to do this.

[@Doan84]

5:00 grease could collect in the holes for the skewers and probably even run down into the fitting. But I must say, I'm really impressed from your work. The stove is very, very well done.

[@zepplyledson9622]

I love it!! The simplicity of the whole thing, is great!! When I build mine, I will put "The Surventorlist Woodstove" on the side of it and tell people that if they want one, they should visit your site. Thank you very much, for your videos!!

[@tsgtammo2]

Very nice.

[@MrBenille]

You are a man iconic Like your business Working in a scientific way You have my full respect

[@deepsouthsurvivallane6937]

Outstanding!

[@kevinbraziel7893]

I normally never comment on videos, however I was truly very impressed with your stove and ideas. I have watched all 5 segments of this stove and best by far that I have seen. Well done Sir well done...

[@congobob3562]

good work

[@mjl4237]

Awesome

[@Pygar2]

Would the brace hold a "poker" inside? And the hot metal handle could be improved upon...

[@nealchevy11]

How much?

[@miketune8965]

With the grill grate, the scew's, etc.. Your blocking the way to feed the wood to the stove. Then where the lid is cut in half and a hinge put in it, the smoke from the wood would find it's way thru the gap in between the hinge and the top of the stove, therefore smoking up ur tent. Try ur invention, then you will see.

[@andrewbates4551]

Great video I would like to see a hook to hold the lid up when loading the wood, if it fell on your fingers Ouch!!

[@philiphemmings3739]

yes I do like it, am a out door person, and live more out side then in side, so how much do you charge to produce this all rounder, as am interested, and thanks for the this idea.

[@andywilson8836]

Love this. I will be building me one. Thanks for sharing.

[@leonardstuart4923]

Love that stove for all things,the best I have ever seen.KUDOS:-)
