Thanks for the shout out guys. I look forward to our camping and wheeling trips😎👍

Glad you have decided to do your own thing, I stopped watching the old channel a while back, I couldnt warm to a certain person on that channel.

Colts a Cuddler!

[@Elden_Lean]

Not only is Mike the hero we all need, but he's a great fabricator. I would totally buy one of those camper stoves he's making. I don't have a camper for it, but it's cool. and of course, Happy Birthday, Rory!

[@rknight7509]

Give you reason to get camper👍👍

[@LAP1050]

Nice of Mike to shoutout “Colt Builds It”. Mike you’re Da Good Man🤌👍🇺🇸

[@katreniaclark]

Happy Birthday Rory I was member #6 for Colt's channel. Can't wait to see a collaboration or 3 for you guys. Stove looking great.

[@scottgarber7363]

Learned to weld at a Vo- tech school back in 1983. We used to build house wood burning stoves and sell to the public to help pay for field trips. Used to braze the edges to make them look fancy. Good times.

[@davidweidner1675]

First I have heard of Colts channel, good to know he was the only reason I could stand that other one.

Your last stove was a pure work of art, especially with the wicked exhaust chimneys turning all shades of color. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with this one Mike.

[@ericneff6627]

Genuine gentleman giving shout outs to everyone they can ! You guys are awesome thank you for all the content you put out !

the Diesel heaters now have a quiet fuel pump in them now, to stop the clicking sound, Happy Birthday Rory

[@Skiridr22]

Shoutout to Adam who sent the gloves 😂😂😂 I was thinking the same every time I see them working with their bare hands especially Sean who cut a finger every other week.

[@The_Samsquantch]

it was driving me crazy seeing that as well. Glad they got them.

[@kevbev1524]

Love Colt's channel and that he is near by New Mexico, That'll be a Kool kamp along, Wheel along episode. Congratulations on Rory's birthday wheel a thon day. Pay day, work day. U guys rule while most everyone DRULES. 🎉❤

[@joeym2675]

I tell ya you’re more or less building a camper from scratch! And that’s a Awesome job on a wood stove! The gear for the vent is awesome!! Great Idea!!!

[@jeffproctor1690]

Pallets are free and burn well. Use the slats for kindling, burn the 2x4 rails. Stacks easily also. Next, add a 1/4" drip line through the side, near the top, that you can have used oil to drip on the burning wood from a small 1 gal. resivior you can locate a fee feet from the stove, even through the wall hanging outside. Also line the bottom with regular red bricks,they retain tons of heat looooong after the fire is out. This will essentially make your wood consumption stop and use the embers as a wick. I heat a 30x30x16' shop using an armload of wood and about 1-1/2 gal of oil for over 12 hours. Packing 2 gal of used oil and 15 pieces of cut pallet rail would guarantee heat regardless of available campsite wood. Reply for more info. Has worked for me for decades.

[@odorizedramblings4660]

I have an Espar diesel heater in my Semi and I wouldn't want to live without it! "Bunk heater" in the trucker world. My sleeper and cab area is approximately half the size of your off road camper and the Espar will absolutely keep up with double the size of what I have. I've used the China knock off's in the past. IMO the Espar is the hands down best of the best. I use it every night as needed in the north central USA where I run and I wouldn't ever want to be without it. They are expensive compared to the China crap... but I service my Espar twice a year with Amazon repair kits that cost about 30 bucks. I've saved thousands of dollars in maintenance and diesel every year with my Espar! Absolute best diesel heater on the market 😎

[@GEORGEFIRE777]

As soon as you mentioned COLT BUILDS IT ,I paused the video an went there an subscribed, a very talented guy.

[@MarkoMygun]

GO DIRTBILLY DELUXE, FINE job guy's, The little trailer is gonna be badass. And with a wood stove in it Yeah Buddy. Thanks for the video guy's and nice shout out for Colts Channel to. Later

[@sherrieaustin0316]

Happy Birthday Rory!! My husband and I love watching your videos. Stay safe ❤

[@DangerousSportsForSeniors]

If you want to add glass to your wood stove door, you can use a Pyrex pie plate. Cheap and durable.

[@hitekredneck109]

Now THAT is a cool as frick idea!! I might try that on the waste oil heater I'm building to use in my garage!!

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

That'll probably work if you can find the real deal borosilicate stuff. That's the original Pyrex. The stuff they have made since the 80's is tempered soda lime glass, so normal glass which has been put through a tempering process. Tempered glass is like the glass in car door windows that breaks into small pieces instead of death shards.

[@dougshaw7128]

Mike, use the door vent for damper control instead of a chimney damper and you will have less smoke in the camper.

[@OpieDogie]

I agree with Mike. Woodstoves are AWESOME!!!

[@ScottDLR]

This is going to be a cool build! BTW, The hanger-up-thingermajig is for holding the door open.

[@PeterTremlett]

For the rattley panels, you can also use the foam tape in an "X" across the inside of the panels, to dampen the acoustic vibrations off the larger panel bits

[@bladef816ify]

Put a removable tray in the bottom so you can remove the hot coals before you move the camper. Also helps remove the ash.

[@francoutah]

You guys are probably saving people's lives with the commentary. You share real genuine wisdom and I appreciate that tremendously. Those Canyonlands will kill you if you don't respect it. I had several 5 gallon water jerries freeze solid on me one night (early spring) in the San Rafael swell. New moon, crystal clear skies, and you could swim in the stars. Fire is survival at times. Brutal yet incredibly beautiful. Stay warm.

[@oliverohnemus5791]

Wood heat is the best way to heat. All the other ways will keep you from freezing but you’ll never feel warm. There’s just something about a wood fire that warms the soul as well as the body

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

Thank you!!! I'm glad someone else agrees!!

[@gregb76]

Mike, I would line them with fire brick even if you need to saw them in half or quarters to be safe. Happy birthday Rory. Shawn great work also.

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

The foam tape is a great idea, I think it will hold moisture and only last so long. Maybe try some Black roofing sealer/ cocking, might do better to stay on and in-between the steel easier.. thanks for the vid boys

[@Hanlonsgarage]

The hangar upper thingy is to hold your door opened when you are in the camper if you want

[@Golden-69]

It looks nice, Mike. Plus, a wood stove you can cook on. There is nothing better than can beans for extra heat.😅 bead roll the side Shawn. Robby has the tool.

[@ginocastellino865]

Great to visit with you Mike and Shawn today! Thanks for the shirt and plates and great pics!! Hope to visit with you again sometime in the future 👍👍

[@tomsoutpost5620]

Good stuff dudes. Great videos. Watch all of them. The camper is going to be cool. Death Star and Shawn's buggy are rocking the trails. Oh Yeah... Utah fun.

[@paulcooper9135]

Should be a nice sized stove for that camper! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@redeyetrucker67]

In the middle of nowhere in the winter, you should have a backup to a backup to a backup when it comes to heat. Wood stove with a diesel heater backing it up and a propane heater backing them both up

[@kimberlyvaughan3430]

Stove sounds good. Test it before installing, just for safety. I told you a roll cage. Even Colt says roll cage. Best of luck. God Bless. Be safe 😊

[@davidmolter4142]

Put an outside fresh air inlet on your stove so you don't have drafts in your camper when the stove is running. It can prevent asphyxiation to the people inside.

[@Steves-Bikes]

Mike, we know what a flapper do dab is ha ha, the burner is looking good, I think Shawn should put the double sided foam on all the panels, the rattling would drive me insane!

[@Kiowagoodfella]

Mike, you should make and sell those small stoves, hot tent campers would love those. Great video as always, Mike and Shawn are awesome!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Too heavy for backpackers, but truck campers like me maybe.

[@jaynecobb3701]

10:18 Green is supposed to be on starboard and red on the port side. That is particularly important when driving through water.

[@hitekredneck109]

Lol.....the steering wheel's on the wrong side

Good luck colt on your new channel . i subscribed yesterday. From Quebec Canada

[@bill1299]

Good video guys. Try putting a shock rubber in between the panel and roll cage to stop rattles.

[@phreddeijonz826]

Mike is a riot !😂

[@brianschmidt2747]

.Mike, no worries, my brother. Welding is just welding. Does it matter what it looks like? No, it doesn't as l9ng as it is sound. You two guys rock you have something out of nothing.Shawn sweet idea foam between the cage on panels. Proud of you guys.

[@EKAdventures51]

That is a great design, would work for any travel trailer, or tenting, just put a rack on the back for firewood/twigs

[@dustymojave]

Watched Colt's 1st episode the other day. 👍

[@johnlennon335]

I've got a Scotsmen Ironworker with all the hole punches too. But I haven't wired it up yet. I did see it shear a 5" x 1/2" piece of steel like butter. I'm excited to use it to make some stuff.

[@jamessavage503]

Shawn and Mike are just some good ole men

[@phillipcole3068]

Shawn, a possible solution for the blue rattler is a bead of caulk between the tubing and the panel. Let it dry on the tubing before installing the panel.

[@randyengle7691]

Have to burn his clothes got me. About 15 yrs ago we were a SAR mission in GJ looking for a lost tweaker. Turns out, she swam the river to explore the other side, swam back, got cold and in an area full of twigs and wood decided it would be best to burn her clothes to warm up😂

[@paullalone4718]

I’ve used diesel heater for the last three years I live full-time in my 40 foot motorhome and I haven’t had any problems with it and it heats it really good

[@mikeewenson9824]

Happy birthday Rory hope you had a great day from quebec canada

[@bobotto6456]

You should use angle iron for the door edges to help keep it from warping ,

[@andrewlewis5762]

Hello fair dinkum guy's, "team trailmater deluxe" happy birthday Rory cheers from Australia 👍

[@obroberts6533]

Shawn, those shifter handles are awesome, great idea.. Mike love that stove, and your gear for the air intake looks very cool.. I would put two hinges on the door tho, better than "looking at it for the rest of your life wishing.." JMHO..

[@jimfarris9671]

If like being married too long sometimes you just cannot stand to look at it LOL.

[@tomaktoma1]

That's going to be a really hot spyder gear, welding globes needed 😊

[@450rhino1]

Nice stove Shawn. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RORY, from Nova Scotia CANADA.

[@kc6nfv746]

Build another box to be on top of the stove you have a oven to cook in like pot pies chicken maybe a big one for the shop if big enough you could cook a turkey we had a out side Wood stove had a oven that fit on top we did a turkey one year

[@patman9467]

Happy Birthday Rory!

[@brockryan3405]

Sending those interior lights was a really cool thing to do. I bet they were winning lights in a camper of their own.

[@Derf1313]

"Bappy Hirthday!", Rory! Hope it was an event, lol! Got love a home built woodstove, you can always carry a night of fuel if ya can't find it on the trail, plus it might heat the coffee too! You can always carry a small propane back up (I've got a couple of white gas single burner stoves that have heat cans for the ice shanty). & nice anti-rattle work Shawn, little touches make a difference, & they ALL seem like a work in progress. & Big Thanx for the Colt shout out, too!

[@DirtyDiezel]

Wood is the best option hands down

[@572patrickvanhorn]

lol i mean they do make tools to pack bearings but your hands are always with you and they are free unlike the tool

[@BigBlockon60]

Love the shifters. Lol

[@vichellebd]

❤❤ Mike just summed up KZbin with this Statement (prefaced by 'it might not be right but'): It's what I'm doing 🙂

[@ford_drivingbuilder4225]

colt is awesome. that is a nice little fire box

[@nytrocircus]

Do both diesel and wood, but also add solar on the entire skin and have in floor radiant heat mat for the third planet in the syzygy. Because it's going to be cedar lined and double as a sauna, yes?

[@bjorn1583]

wrap some annealed copper tube around the stove exhaust for heating water

[@Jamie-vl8yq]

Happy birthday Rory 🎂🎁!

[@murderkitten]

Colt is gettin' around!

[@jasonbrown241]

Hey Mike you may look at adding a drip spout and small tank for a used oil burner for those twigless cold nights camping then you could still use it as a wood stove 99% of the time and pack a small can of diesel/used oil for the 1% that you can't find wood just a thought love the videos keep up the good work guys!

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

I have definitely considered it!!! It's a really good idea!

[@JDF1257]

Just a thought… but paracord wrapped around the tubing where you have sheet metal chattering might deaden the noise. Just followed your channel, you guys look like you have a lot of fun. God bless!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

I was going to ask if I could go camping with you. But not now I'll pass😂😂😂 Nice job on the stove 👍

[@agentcrm]

Shawn, if you have access to a bead roller. That's another way to reduce the vibrations in panels.

[@ericmiller8432]

I am wondering if the air inflow for the stove should be connected directly to the outside of the camper. With the fire pulling air from inside of the camper you might have a carbon monoxide issue. That stove is really cool! Do you have an idea for insulating the camper? Happy Birthday Rory.

[@andonileonet3726]

Cool stove! How about using value springs for the damper and latch handle insulators.

[@user-vs4nf8ge1b]

Happy birthday Mr.

[@Burnit53]

The "hanger up thing ' madoodle" is a door catch/latch. It's to claps the door to the outside off the trailer when open. Not allowing it to slam shut.

[@dennis6305]

You may need some insulated handles on the door and air flow adjuster and damper rod. I know my wood stove was very hot when operating. My stove had wood handles. Love the show, Thank you

[@jamesausbrooks6337]

@Coltbuildsit sounded like he was kinda excited about snuggling. 🤣 And why was Justin standing in the background like a statue wishing he had a KZbin channel and getting gifts too. Lol

[@ohiomoto]

Fire always works!! I use those diesel heaters in my van. They are a little needy and can leave you in the cold once in a while.

[@harleycharley8323]

Joined Colt Builds It…good video.

[@BigBlockon60]

On my rzr the roof and doors rattled so I put Eva sea deck on it. Made a huge difference.

[@isomer13]

Entertaining as fnck. Good ideas, good stuff. Thanks, guys.

[@Gowherejeepsgo]

Shawn the handles came out sweet that was a great idea, Mike can't wait to see that camper on a trail that will be awsome. Shawn u need to do the crawl challenge with wrecked gear that would be nothing but smiles. You mentioned the death star vs bronson on the live vid make it happen

[@sonofbr]

I live in a camp trailer. For the first 5 years I used a wood stove I made myself. You will need a fan to move the heat around. Without one, you can be toasty next to the stove but have frozen water a few feet away.

[@hitekredneck109]

Good call! Even a computer fan or a cheap plastic 12 volt unit should do the trick.

[@sceneshopdemovideos2873]

There are large (for what they are) brushless computer fans cheap on Amazon that run on 12v and are rather quiet. When I was living in my camper I just spent most of my time near the stove instead of a fan though.

[@jessepitt]

Get a heat powered fan that sits on the stovetop.
