Building a Hot Tent Wood Stove From a Sink

Update: The window is in! • Adding a Glass Window ...
Pack it all for hot tent camping, including the kitchen sink! I just finished making a hot tent stove from a stainless steel bar sink. It worked out really well. Now I just need to add the glass window and it will be complete. This larger stove will surely heat my hammock hot tent a lot quicker!
I was worried about the sound dampening spray under the sink, but it wasn't a problem with an orbital sander. Working with stainless steel wasn't so easy, but taking it slow on the drill with water to keep it cool worked out fine. Cutting was much more difficult.
Draw and burn time is exceptional!! It only took me a short time to learn how to balance the air intake and damper; not much different from my smaller Pomoly titanium stove.

Spots a sink and has a creative lightbulb moment. Great idea !

I am 64 and I’ll never tire of the “That’s what she said” joke. One person was making an elaborate video regarding 9/11 and he threw it in. It takes guts to do it. Right on !

LOL! And totally unplanned ones are the best. I debated and paused a little there, almost ruining the delivery.

WOW, excellent build. Nice and clean. Got me thinking now. Thanks for sharing.:)

[@OneclickOutside]

Thanks for watching!

[@bryangraeb5766]

Nice job on you build! I do have a Suggestion, you could have scored your edges to make the bends easier on your inside lip!

[@OneclickOutside]

This stuff was a lot harder to work with than I planned. I’m glad I just left it as is so the door shuts nice and flat. No warping around the opening after hard use this past winter, so I’m all set going forward.

Nice work one of the nicest homemade stoves I've seen

[@OneclickOutside]

Thanks! I almost hated to light it up and ruin that nice clean appearance! But it still looks good after some use.

What a pleasure it is to see such a neat, clean and professional looking stove constructed to such a high standard from high quality materials! Your meticulously precise craftsmanship and outstanding preparation, combined with this very well dimensioned sink, make for a unique tent stove with immense visual appeal. Your care, presentation and narration form a masterclass in constructing this lovely stove and will certainly inspire viewers to build one for themselves. Thank you for sharing your build of this superb stove, which looks far nicer and more purposeful than many commercially manufactured stoves! Subscribed.

Thanks for watching and taking time for the kind response!

Great idea!!

[@MrVitalikriuchkov]

Awesome build sir😎👍 what is Sink dimensions pls?

[@Comm0ut]

Weedburners work nicely for stripping coatings, and getting a stove a bit warm won't bother it.

[@mattmarshall569]

That turned out great!

[@OneclickOutside]

Thanks Matt!

[@Strangernightg]

Could you tell me where did you buy your tempered glass at because I'm interested in making my own too because there to expensive . I'd appreciate any help and information that you give me Thank you and I'm a new subscriber to your channel !!! Enjoy your camping in your hot tent 🎪.

Sure, it was woodstove-fireplaceglass.com

Nice build!!! What it the name of the rolled up stove pipe?? Thanks for the video . Have a good day

[@OneclickOutside]

Lite-outdoors for the pipe. Great vendor from Alberta. Much better quality titanium than the stuff that comes with some other stoves.

[@michaelfreel6852]

@@OneclickOutside thank you I'll check them out

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

Hey it's official! The Fourdog site no longer lists the twodog steel stove. Oops. ONLY titanium stoves. I must have got the last stove?!

[@OneclickOutside]

Oh hang onto that one then!

@@OneclickOutside I just ordered ceramic fiber board! This Minnesotan, like me, did a wild set up for a clean burn. He's got 2 inches of ceramic board on top - resting on the 1 inch side walls and bottom. He gets over 1000 Fahrenheit. "3 ways I improved woodstove heating" is his vid - with a couple recent follow ups on the heat exchanger. I'm gonna try a different heat exchanger design. I'm pretty excited but first I'll use a flexible camera to make sure I don't have too much creosote build up. Because I'll definitely be burning off any creosote in my duct pipe with this set up. The goal is not to have to dismantle my duct pipe chimney since I have it going through my wall - and it's all insulated with 8 inch pipe and rock wool around 6 inch pipe. So cleaning it out will be a pain but maybe I can just set this up and never have to clean it - like a mass rocket stove heater. haha. Well even better - since there's no horizontal. I just have a four foot pipe at 30 degrees going off the stove. I'll put an 8 inch around that for heat exchanger.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

awesome build. A baffle?

[@OneclickOutside]

I just mentioned that because I think the elbow sticking down a little bit slows the flames from escaping. But in reality probably not. But whatever it’s doing, it’s amazing. I just went grocery shopping and ran some errands, came back and the thing is still running strong. I didn’t even have it dampens down. Insane!!

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

@@OneclickOutside congrats. I just ran my twodog iron stove - or steel - at zero degrees Fahrenheit in my 10 x 12 hermit hut. It works great. I leave it there and there is rust. So I'm thinking of getting a titanium. Fourdog sells one that is superexpensive but it's also got a baffle and also won't warp like a lot of those thin titanium stoves. I'm planning on camping "full time" - which means I can only camp six months on my own land and six months for free on public land. haha. So the gear would be critical.

[@OneclickOutside]

@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 nice!! I contacted fourdog a couple weeks ago but did not get a response. I’m not sure I would have spent that much, but I was on the fence. Maybe he’s not doing them anymore?

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

@@OneclickOutside Wow! Actually I got my stove as a "special make" by his former shop worker. Then I drove to Don's house-business- his workshop is outside and he had the stove waiting for me. He told me that's how it got built. I had "ordered" it on the website and prepaid. But then I noticed on the fine print on the site it said it was Not available. So the site was self-contradictory. That was a couple years ago I guess. Yes I think he's maybe retired? He told me he needed to update his website but then looks like he started officially selling the older steel stove again. Still not sure at all. I can't imagine him still making the stoves himself.

[@OneclickOutside]

@@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 I hear only good things about them. I like my small Pomoly Ti stove too but they need a bigger one without the side glass. I basically begged them for a plain 10x10x18" folder with only a front window. They would sell a ton!

[@daphneraven6745]

I’m really disappointed. I went looking for how to put the window in, and you had another video that said you were adding a video, but was nothing but burning. But there was something to say to come watch you do your build in this video. The window never got added in on this one either.

[@c4mailmanpb]

Fine work young man.

[@OneclickOutside]

Thanks! I had a lot of fun using this throughout the winter. Definitely not on my mind right now, but I will have some more fun when the snow starts falling.
