Any small heater like this is appreciated. I've got a wood stove in the garage for heat, but it takes a while to heat up. A smaller burner that could make quick heat would be great while waiting for the big stove to heat up. Seems like you think like an engineer, but you speak like a common man. I can appreciate that. Reminds me of my dad, bless his soul. Thanks for the inspiration with the video!

Hey Larry, great design, fabrication and stove you have there. Looks like a winner. Many who watch your vid will get more than a few pointers with your great description and demo. Your box being so narrow you might want to reduce the height of the grate in half to give you more space for wood inside the burn chamber. That amount of space could give you another hour+ of heat if you drop the grate lower. Once you get a hot bed of coals in the bottom from continuous feeding it fresh wood throughout the day/evening you should increase your heat production many more hours. In my stoves I try to leave as many places to shove wood as I can. Dampering it down I can get her to burn most of the night in my M-1950 five man Arctic tent. Sleeping on my 1945's Army cot I often cook myself to a sweat until I vent the bottom of the tent door. It is a wonderful combination in temps under freezing. I would never cold camp again if I could help it. Keep up the good work and happy hot tenting...

I think that the most likely indicators that the re-burn is working is the lack of smoke (although you were using what looked like very well-seasoned wood) and the almost complete absence of tars and sooty residues on the stove, particularly around the entry holes for the heated secondary air. Ammo boxes are a bit hard to get here in the UK, I 've made a few stoves but I think I'll try one with a 5 gal cooking oil can, and just put a u-shaped flattened pipe in along the sides and along the top. I'll drill holes in the top part for the hot secondary burn air to exit. I can block it with my finger at the cool lower end once its been burning a while. If smoke comes out when its blocked, it works, and I'll then just make a simple butterfly valve which will also allow me to control the burn when used with the primary air control. Enjoyed your video, thanks.

Very nice design, and an excellent description of how and why it works. I like the damper you mounted. One is good, two is better, one higher in the stove pipe. I have found that a stove like your is maximum size for a tent, van, or houseboat. The biggest problem I have found with wood stoves is that there is no "Low" setting. Big ones run me out of the room. I can tell you like to tinker, so let me suggest this. Most stoves draw air from the room, like a big vacuum cleaner, with warm air going into the stove and up the chimney, and cold air coming in the doors, windows, and cracks. I put an air intake pipe on my stove's floor in my house, with a 2" gate valve to control air intake. It sucks cold air from the outside via a pipe through a hole in the floor, burns it, and the exhaust goes back outside through the chimney. The warm air stays inside the van. house, or tent. Any fool can make an expensive, complex rig to do that, but I suspect you can come up with a simple, cheap way to do the same thing on an ammo can stove, allowing for both air flows. Any suggestions? I have been trying to design a stove like you drew for my boat and van, but welded out of heavier metal for durability. I thought to weld on some vertical, outside fins on the sides for heat dispersion. What you explained here will complete the design. I tried a propane tank, but the rounded bottom makes ash removal difficult. Thanks for a fun, informative, thought provoking video.

Very nice stove and video Larry. In the spirit of open innovation, here's an idea; An additional or tertiary air feed could possibly be incorporated to your design in the center and top of the burn chamber by running a stainless 1'' pipe with an airtight fitting installed on the bottom of the stove for its air draw and have it come up to preheat up the rear and come in through the stainless plate just below the drilled holes , It would need to be capped off at the inside end where the baffle ends and t have 1/4'' holes drilled in it like a flute sort of, to inject even more superheated air and further intensify the combustion of C02, smoke and other gases right on top of the primary burn area.. You could secure it with eye bolts and wing-nuts and have a damper on the open end underneath the stove to adjust your air volume. Thanks for posting, I've subbed your channel and please give me feedback on my idea, good or bad.. Cheers, Al.

I might even fix some strips of angle iron to increase radiant heating. Anyway thanks for the great ideas.

With the slates in the sides, the air could still circulate under, behind and over the baffle, which would be one side of the inner can.

So I slide it in, thereby creating the secondary air channels underneath and it preheats the air - And then it circulates back under the baffle. So this increases the heat retained into the stove also - for cooking and heating - along with the no smoke burn.

Basically I don't want to freeze and I also don't want to burn the place down before its built. .but I don't want to have the cooking woodstove oven that I am going to get, all beat up by said Scottish Highland weather! I would have tried to do one of the propane tank woodstove things but I can't weld so your version seems like the most logical to me (maybe because my late father was a marine engineer and I, being a tomboy was the closest thing to the son he never got, always seem to be the person in any situation who can fix washing machines and various other mechanical problems! ) if you could answer me about the safety of this inside I'd be grateful.

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) Great question. If you keep the stove pipe and door connections tight then I'd think safety from carbon monoxide would be OK. However, I'd strongly recommend a double or triple walled flue pipe rated for wood stoves. The other thing to consider is that I would not expect this small stove to put out enough BTU's to keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter night in a cabin.

Depending on the design, stainless steel could be quite lightweight, which is a nice thing when a person is tracking a distance with weight on his or her back. Glass paint might be a great way to make a flat-folding stove perhaps more lightweight and durable than using an ammo box, if weight and compactness are important.

It may be possible to modify his design so that you still have a nice flight and lightweight stove, but with the afterburner and baffle in it. it’s easy to imagine exactly how this might come together, and the amount of function gain for the small amount of weight that would be added, is fairly negligible. (I’ve been thinking about this since yesterday evening); it’s particularly nice to find another person out here, who is sort of thinking along the same lines. it seems to me that the added heat might change the lifespan, but the glass paint could be the mitigator here. It also seems to me that if a person were to add some fins along the side of the box, for lack of a better word, that could change the way that the heat radiates away from it, especially if a person were willing to add the heat-activated stove fan. It wouldn’t even have to be very happy to do a really great job.

Would like to know if it heats the same, better or worse than a stove without afterburner. It looks very well built. Not much room in a little stove. I would probably wanna put as much wood as possible in it instead of taking away capacity. Curious as to what the temps are when burner is opened and if any difference when closed. I'm open to this idea. Just wanna know if it's the way to go or not.

I didn’t see where the fresh air was supposed to come in for the secondary air source was placed? Did you drill a hole at the bottom of the ammo can for that? Good video though!! Thanks!

You may have already figured this out by now, but yes, he put a whole in the bottom of the can for the secondary air. He shows it in the drawing better than in the video.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have a question, I like and understand how you made the stove standing tall rather than long. Do you think that it loses stove top area though? Or do you think a baffle and 2nd air intake would lose its efficiency if it was build with less height space and longer?

stephen Print Thanks for the feedback. This is my second attempt at replying to your post. Seems YT is having posting issues today.

Marsh, I've watch your video but still don't see how you control your air flow to the afterburner. When you slide the afterburner into the ammo can does the air come in by it self? From what I can see your air control is above the afterburner. So how is the fresh air getting through the tube of the afterburner, I know how it gets out. Great Video

Gilbert Boshell Take another look at the vid starting at 12:38. The fresh air comes in from the bottom of the can and exits out of the top. Cold air naturally rises as it is heated. The air control is on the bottom of the can and I didn't do a good job in describing it. Does this help?

I don't have the skills to tape and post a video, but when I find someone who has I will definitely send you it. I am from the pre-internet age I am afraid. Regards from Alberta, Canada. P.S. The stove is under a very deep pile of snow but that is not the problem for me, the video is.

No problem. I too am about your age (I think), but worked in the IT field for many years until retirement. Just let me know if there is anything I can do to assist. Cheers from NW Ohio.

Thanks for the video. I like it. I have been trying to find a design for the camper on the back of my truck for cooking and keeping warm in sub zero temps. Have you used it to cook on, and if so how did it do?

I'm brewed coffee and fried some eggs on it. The stove is about what you'd expect for one so small. Just wish it had a built-in oven for baking biscuits. take care, Larry

You might get some mica from Lehmann's, mount it in the door for visibility. An update would be nice, too...
