Building a wood burning stove from an old beer keg, time lapse.

Building a wood burning stove out of scrap material, using an old beer keg and the legs from an old cement mixer

That looked fun! I'm making a Chiminea as we speak, almost done.

If I had a beer keg like that ... it would be a still boiler !!!

[@dave1secondago]

nice build bro

[@DDTripleD]

Only thing I would add is a ash tray to be able to pull and dump

[@budman2786]

what size pipe would you use for the vent pipe ??

[@MrBrnrdy]

About 4 inch pipe seems best, anything smaller would choke the flames with backed up smoke

[@TeachaMantoFish]

Careful using your thigh as a rest when grinding, recipe for disaster.

Hi, what wire did you use to weld on the beer keg? Could I use an arc welder with the standard rod that you weld mild steel? Cheers

[@MrBrnrdy]

Hi, I used a fluxed core wire in a mig welder on this stove. As far as I know you could use an arc welder to do the job also. I am only a beginner level welder practising for fun though. Maybe someone with more welding experience could offer advice here?
