This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list kzbin.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

I built mine upside down of yours, utilizing the threaded hole to add a pipe thru the floor. it not only supports the stove, but is the air intake. I then added a piece of 1/4" all thread with washers on the end as a air control valve. connected a wire coat hanger to the end of all thread at bottom, up thru the floor so i can adjust and also shake to let ash go out. Nice job on yours.

Different style compared to the one I made, I really like how you made the door with the angle iron, its strong, seals nicely, and most important on these is its not at all "finicky". On builds like these its important to build things in a old military concept where the words "simple" and "functional" are key, and you have achieved this nicely with your build.

[@fishfire_2999]

Very good observation 😊✌

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thank for watching! The angle iron made it easy to add a door gasket and get an air tight seal!

[@Blakgun]

Looks like a really nice design. It's a good size for a small cabin or wall tent. I'm wondering if the fire would burn hotter if the air intake was mounted lower, where the base of the fire is. Another feature you may consider is a circular grate fitted to sit just below the level of the door opening. It would be made of heavy duty rod to support the wood. It would allow air to flow underneath and provide a level area on which to build the fire.

If it helps anyone get some ideas, I always use large diameter iron pipe for chimneys on homemade stoves. When I was in high school, we moved into a house that was built in 1973 and we were going to renovate. The main heat source was a woodstove and the conventional thin wall chimney pipe rotted through and leaked a few weeks after moving in, we woke up to this at like 2 am. Ever since then I try to do a DIY version with well pipe of the same diameter, it will literally last as long as the stove and it is much more forgiving to rough cleaning.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

That’s a good idea wish I had some thicker material for the stove pipe I think it would have worked better because the 6 inch was to large!

[@randymack1782]

@@rafaelellis-rech6950 I would use flat bar stock, form it into the circle, or an oval? yes oval.... like vintage stoves, then weld to center, or towards the rear, hint hint, for the pipe to be in the back, you can make a plate directly on top to cook on, or keep coffee in? or water to keep humidity up with. yes stove pipe will bend to fit the vintage oval connectors.

Adding a heat exchange to the chimney pipe would greatly increase the heating ability. To build your own, weld between 11 and 14 conduit pipe into a 10" box horizontally and a 6" stove pipe adapter vertically,-top and bottom- "Note all welds on this part must seal." Weld a Mounting bracket for a small fan at one end of the conduits.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Absolutly beautiful!!!! I learned a few tips from this video and I’ve made over a dozen different wood stoves from various sized propane tanks. I’ve even made larger stoves by welding some old propane tanks together. A few tips if I may add…. Adding an air intake lower on your next stove, produces a better burn and heat control. That way the air intake flow is lower near the base of the stove, forcing air up through the fire and getting a more complete burn, as well as an easier burn. Number two: the exhaust I believe is a little too big as it allows too much heat to escape. The exhaust should be no larger than 1.25 X’s the size of the air intake. This also allows a hotter flame to produce more heat if needed. As for sanding or grinding off any residual paint, that is unnecessary and only adds extra work. Just light it before painting it black and all the paint will burn off. Once the stove is cool, lightly sand with a wire brush and then you can paint it with black high-temperature paint. However in due time, even that paint will burn off and if left untreated, the entire stove will rust. However that’s OK because the rust makes it look cool and the stove will continue to last for years and years as long as you keep it covered when not in use. Again excellent stove you made and I like some of your ideas and techniques. Im am going to use your cut out techniques, like the roll of duct tape to measure a hole, but agin I’d make my exhaust hole smaller. Also bro, you really need a plasma AND an oxy-fuel cutting torch. It makes life so much easier.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Those are some great points actually, I’ll definitely keep those in mind for my next build. Nice to hear from someone else doing the same thing. Also ya, I’d definitely like a plasma and oxy-fuel curing torch, pretty expensive though but something I’d like in the future, been checking Craigslist as well.

A piece of angle iron welded on the side big enuff for the coffee pot would do...

[@seanfoley4849]

I built one of these for a bread truck Rv that I built, mine was similar but different, my air intake was the same concept but I mounted it lower and used black pipe and a 2” ball valve to control air. A baffle goes a very long way to ensure that more heat and flame stays in the stove vs in the stove pipe. You’ll find that the fire doesn’t burn super efficiently unless you install a grate so fresh air can access the underside of the fire. Also I used 3 or4 inch chimney pipe so I could install a 3/4 thick piece of steel as a cook top! Great stove kept me warm in the winter for several years. Coal burned extremely well in my rig

[@Identifyasaconspiracytheorist]

If you laid it on its side, it would be more efficient and not burn up so fast, that’s why boilers are horizontal, FYI

[@cloudjumper7285]

Enjoyed watching and learning. I have some tanks in the yard. Maybe hubby can make 1 or 2for me and others for family.

[@Siouxperman]

Nicely done. To beef up this stove furthermore just weld a few bars inside to act as a crate. It’ll help separate ash from logs during mid-burn and be a lot easier to clear away ash too. Great idea

Nice stove, remember to install the chimney sections just like a rain downspout, so if you have any liquid creosote condense inside, it will drip into the stove rather than leak out the stove pipe.

Nice job! That’s a great little stove and looks really cool. There are two little things that will make it work way more efficiently and are very simple… a grill of some sort to keep the wood from laying on the bottom and a damper to control the air flow in the chimney… they will both make a huge difference in the amount of heat and the performance of the stove using way less wood.

Also ...... does the vent on the side make more smoke come out the Front.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

That’s a cool idea for the glass! I don’t have a plasma cutter but I am thinking about investing in one and it would be great for making some nice designs. Haven’t had any issues with smoke coming out the front the chimney being so big provides a lot of draft that pulls all the smoke pretty well.

I may build another version for my camper! This one is used in my shop and not much cooking there otherwise the flat piece would be nice.

[@rogerpierce6209]

Some 1” Angle Iron welded into a rectangle on top,with 1/8” sheet on top of that would give a nice,strong,flat surface for warming up parts,cooking,heating Water…whatever 😎

Great Work, thank you for posting.....I really enjoyed watching

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thank you

[@barnybrewman1571]

Outstanding build. That would be perfect for my small hunting cabin. Thanks for the video.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thanks for watching! Works nice for a small space just won’t burn through the entire night.

[@RabbitusMaximus]

Genius, innovation, and great presentation skills to boot. Outstanding and thanks!

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thanks for watching check out some of my other videos if you have time!

Hey this guy is good that's a very smart idea good worker he gets a lot of credit just think he should go in to business I would buy one all this takes time and effort and hard work good job I don't know where he is but I would buy one from him bless his heart

[@murphyzlaw13]

Awesome Video, and I like the way you stayed on a budget. Very good, you should be proud of this. You did an excellent job.

[@nelsonjacob4753]

The stove is regulated by air flow in And air flow out, you need to put a damper in your flue.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Yep I had to add on in the end to reduce the heat loss through the top of the stove pipe! Thanks for watching.

[@RichardWilliams-re9lw]

Nice little stove I would've just used a 4 inch chimney and you might want to make a round grate for the bottom to let the wood burn more thoroughly.

[@65wldstln]

I printed that Powerade bottle! Love that little stove! Great ingenuity.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thank for watching!

[@JohnnyT161]

The only issue I see is that you cant unscrew your ash dump without tipping over your stove... Remedy= taller legs: All in all. NICE JOB!

[@fishfire_2999]

Thought wait last pic has legs ?But upon closer inspection still do not appear ling enough ? Is quite peculiar

[@RollingAlaskans]

You could easily unscrew the cap with a pipe wrench; slide a tray under the stove, wrench the cap off, brush ash out of stove, replace cap finger tight.

[@Idle.Homestead.]

Could of have made a three leg tripod out of angle iron and then weld a pipe on each corner and just set the lil legs in the pipe

[@darrylm4403]

Perfect for an ice fish hut or a blind .. comfort

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Yeah I think it would work great those types of situations! It’s very light so would be easy to transport!

[@robertking1480]

Bought new one exchanged from old one Skipped most of your vedio n blew up my barn while using my torch rig luckily I still have 1 eye 1 arm n didn't burnt my barn to bad😁

[@christymyers1329]

❤️ love this! Now, when do I ask ya to make me one? And how much do ya charge to ship to VA? Great JOB really but LOVE the creativity of this in a whole. Would much rather buy one from you than out of a store.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thanks for watching! I love making things out of scrap or stuff others threw out. Super busy right now with my house project or I would make you one.

[@shalomsister]

@@rafaelellis-rech6950 When your schedule clears up I want one too! Will pay top dollar because it's unique and beautiful!

[@dperry19661]

@@shalomsister Don't be too afraid of your local fabricators. Do a google/yelp search for "Small welding shops near me". They are the modern version of the town blacksmith.

[@shalomsister]

@@dperry19661 Amen! Thank you for the suggestion! I want to have a good outdoor stove in case there's ever an extended power outage and I also love the artistic aspect of this work. God bless you!🤗🕊🔥💖✝️💕❣

[@Mr_PNW]

@@dperry19661 We have a large wood mill in town that years ago, when the logging industry was huge had a large in-house fab shop. When things died down, they were all laid off. They got together and opened their own shop. Those guys can make everything! They will also sell you any materials you want.

[@baustreetlimited8011]

Great build. Just a tip - At 4 min we can see the smaller crimped end of the flue will be uppermost. Usually the flue pipe is installed so that the crimped ends are at the bottom of the section. This way they fit inside the section below and any tar running down inside the flue stays inside.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Bau Street Limited yeah good observation I noticed this issue after using the stove a couple times. I was able to kinda fix it by welding on a man adapter but wish I had realized my mistake earlier. Thanks for watching.

[@PhantomPanic]

Still waiting for that wood stove installation video. 😀

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Oh man haha sorry been really busy with my house project but I’ll try and edit some of the footage soon! Thanks for watching!

[@reloadnorth7722]

Great build. I think this is my next project.

[@fatfreddyscat5173]

I really like this. Love makin useful stuff outta scavenged or on-hand materials. Keep rockin it, kid! d:^)

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Thanks for watching!

[@deannastevens1217]

As an Upcycle Seamstress. I Love this. I upcycle all sorts of things into others. So many pieces of 2nd hand fodder is great for Wonderful New life projects from clothing to pillows to handbags. So much can be recycled/Upcycled.

[@rafaelellis-rech6950]

Deanna Stevens Very true we often seen things to landfills that can be given a second life with some creativity!
