Galvinize melts at 900 degrees F and criticle temp of galvinize is 1600degrees F for the zinc to vaporize combining with o2 to form zinc oxide. Perfectly safe to use in a hot tent as long as you are not welding it in there. I'm am retired welder with 30+ years of experience and have welded galvinize having training to do so. No galvinize stove pipe on a ammo can heater will ever reach the melting point of galvinize.

Are you producing these, or plan to make more. The plethora of jigs will make it easy enough.

I’d also leave majority of the liner intact and bend some upward to use it to help support the grate off the bottom…now I’ve gotta get a decent sized ammo can, some time and should have most of the other materials.

Good tip! I'd suggest at least coating the bottom. The POR 15 I used is supposed to have been tested up to 450 degrees so it must get hotter than that at the bottom of the stove. It just flaked off and you usually have to use a grinder to get POR 15 off of anything.

Hm, interesting. I've never been in the military and didn't know what a tall 50 cal ammo can was so I Googled it. They're definitely a thing. Amazon and others sell them for $25 to $30. It looks like there would be lots of opportunity to change the configuration for an ammo can stove on the size and location of the door and chimney. Maybe even a configuration where it lays on its side rather than upright. Being taller makes it more tippy. I have about 10 regular ammo cans to make future stoves so don't think I'll be experimenting with it but it would be interesting to see what others come up with. Thanks again, Olive!

@timcanthejigman79327 жыл бұрын
I had that same question about the flue so checked a few websites before doing it that way, including home inspection and stove installation websites. The consensus was that the male crimped end goes down into the female end so that creosote doesn't run down the chimney and out the joints. You want the creosote to run down into the stove. Rising hot gasses will naturally draft up the chimney.

Thanks! I've had it out in the field a few times burning wood and just finished a video testing burning pellets and it's doing pretty well. Some warping from the heat but still works.

Hi Robert, There are different advantages to each orientation. One person said it made emptying the ash easier. I don't find it that difficult to take the top off and turn the ammo can upside down to empty. The leg attachments would have to account for the lip of the lid. I prefer having a flat top for the stove pipe. You should give it a lot of thought before you start cutting, which way will work better for you. Fortunately, you can get ammo cans pretty cheaply.

There's not one step that you overlooked. I've been thinking about a similar project. I have an old military heavy steel carrying case. With the top loading lid. Approximately three times as wide as your .50 can. Adding a latch to the top, removing the hasp and adding a front loading door with an ash pan underneath. Welding up rebar with very tight spacing as a bottom heat shield. And possibly using a double stainless steel lasagna pans "clamshell style" on top as an impromptu oven. Thank you for your ideas. PS not many people will have a 9/16 drill bit. Anything above half is very out of the ordinary. I have some stuff from a family member from a factory that's larger than half and has some kind of a Morse taper on the bottom. Unibits are an excellent tool for enlarging and deburring.

About how much did it cost you to building this project?
@timcanthejigman79327 жыл бұрын
A little over $100 but I bought everything new so I could track the cost and some of the materials were enough for two stoves such as the expanded metal, paint, fasteners and sheet metal. For $30 more, I would have enough additional materials for two stoves, bringing the cost down to about $65 to $70 each. For comparison, I just checked Amazon and I can buy a Little Buddy heater for $70.

It would be nice if you listed websites & part sources of where you got these parts so others can build these stoves, one source (Menards) lists a 3 inch start collar for $54.00 I need to find something to smoke before I pay that !

That's for a package of 40. On their website, click the down arrow for package quantity. They're $1.68 each. They'll probably still have to be special ordered and arrive in 3 weeks. Point taken about listing sources, though. Thanks!

Yes, it's a good idea to burn it in like I did at the end of the video to burn off the galvanizing outdoors. After the galvanizing burned off, I repainted it in high-temp paint. I've used it several times in the teepee and no issues with zinc poisoning. Thanks for commenting!

What was the total cost of the build? Looks like an expensive bill of materials.
@timcanthejigman79326 жыл бұрын
It was. Total cost was about $140 but I had some left over materials such as sheet metal, fasteners and expanded metal so a second stove wouldn't cost that much. I also bought everything new so I could track how much one could potentially cost. Note the list below. There are doubtless areas where one could economize. If you have to buy tools or other supplies, it just goes up from there. For comparison, I bought a Little Buddy heater for $70. Cost Item $15 Ammo can $20 stove pipe assembly $10 expanded metal $10 sheet metal $13 flue damper $8 angle steel $8 fasteners $20 high temp paint $8 paint stripper $6 lye $5 hinge $7 stove gasket rope $7 JB Weld $137 Total

Could hinged folding legs be added?
@timcanthejigman79323 жыл бұрын
I think it would be pretty easy. Make the top bolt holding the legs removable, make sure the bottom bolt is situated so that the leg could pivot upwards without binding and make the legs short enough that they'll fit end-to-end along the bottom of the ammo can. Maybe drill another hole in the ammo can to reinsert the removed screw when the legs are folded. I may try that on the next stove I make.
