Make a Simple Cheap Hot Tent Wood Stove - DIY

Make a Simple Cheap Hot Tent Wood Stove - DIY - I build a Hot Tent Wood Stove using some cheap materials I picked up at my local hardware store. Total cost of this simple cheap tent wood stove build was less than $50. I will have a "burn" video showing the first lighting of this stove and I have included a link to that video below for those who are interested.

[@kaboom-zf2bl]

those legs need a flat foot so they dont sink into the ground or punch a hole in the bottom of the tent ... a basic t shape with a swivel pin using a bolt would work perfect ... and of course add a drop in shelf across the cross bars front to back to keep the stove from melting the tent floor and use a food warmer ... or cheese melter

[@shaunhall960]

This is why I like KZbin so much. There is something very satisfying to make something useful with your own hands and save money at the same time.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

So true!

[@DarrenMalin]

well done Sir :)

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks for watching!

[@photofather1]

lol I built my Ice tent wood burner using two 10' deep steam trays... I put a smoke shelf in mine something I have not see anyone do or show on FB it really is a must yes you lose heat faster with just a Flu but you also creat allot more creosote in your flue without a smoke shelf and that is one of the biggest causes of fire in flu. with the shelf the ashes also fall on the smoke shelf and allot of the creosote will build on the smoke shelf first making it easier to clean. for people that do not know DO NOT burn pine in a stove. I even stay away from lumber Pine will build uo creosote 10 times faster that hardwood ... GOOD JOB on stove BTW I use to be a chimney sweep and chimney/fireplace repairman also you can put a couple small bricks in their on bottom they will hold heat for a bit longer if you are sleeping and your wood burns out. I set an alarm in my ent to add wood at night every 2-1/2 hrs but the bricks help allot

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks for the info Anthony, I appreciate it.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

A thumbs up for sure. Awesome job on the stove. Yours looks better than mine. lol. That door latch system is pretty ingenious. Thanks for the shout out. I appreciate it.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks Lonnie, I really appreciate your input and your videos!

[@joshuanorthern1863]

I've been subscribed to Far north bushcraft and survival for years and when you gave that channel it's proper recognition and respect from the beginning I instantly liked and subscribed.... Respect sir;

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks Jashua, I appreciate that and thanks for watching!

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

I've been a BIG fan of Far North Bushcraft And Survival for many years...I've learned a TON from him. Awesome build, your stove is a real beauty... LOVE IT ! That baby should keep you nice and toasty, well done !!!

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Lonnie has a great channel. I've seen a couple of his videos over the years but never really looked deeper into his channel until recently. He really has some interesting videos and lots of knowledge to share. We're excited to see how the stove performs. I'm really curious to see how it holds up over time. We'll see! Take care Joe 👍

[@macleandancy8029]

Love to see the additions you made to Lonnie's concept. Great stuff

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Appreciate it!

[@felixcat9318]

I am particularly impressed that you mention Lonnie and his channel as being your inspiration for building this stove. Also that you link to his channel. You are a person of integrity to do these things and that merits repect. There are channel owners that outright copy others ideas and claim them for themselves, so its really great to see that you credit Lonnie for his remarkable tent stove. I'm pleased ti subscribe and support your channel and look forward to seeing your videos. Your stove build is fantastic and it looks great, Lonnie's and your stoves are so good they outdo commercially manufactured stoves. Your video helps to expand the knowledge base of Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) enthusiasts and saves huge sums of money over buying commercially manufactured tent stoves.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it. I agree with you 100%!

[@u.s.militia7682]

This is great. I love it. By far the best video on a DIY wood burning tent stove. 👍👍🇺🇸

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks 👍

[@YeoshuaBenkamin]

Buddy, it's seldom I stumble onto a video that I feel compelled to comment... your sheet metal work is spot the fk on. Really clean and really nice... good work on your maths and using what you have.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@kaboom-zf2bl]

yep swivel feet on the bottom of the legs would be a good idea ... then the stove doesnt sink into the ground ... or punch holes in the tent and can even be placed on logs or uneven ground ... also the shelf on the legs cross members would act as a heat shield for the bottom of the tent and a food warmer if the tray has a back and side that slide along the bottom of the stove with a piano hinged front door that folds down would make a stove for baking things like bread and pizza ... or roasts etc ... . hmm now I want to build me one with an under stove . btw you can airtight seal the edges easy ... the inner side gets a u bend and the piece that goes into that gets a j bend so it goes over the top of the u down its side and back up the other side part way ... then hammer tight and you have sealed the side ... just like a can ...

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

I need something half the size for my Sienna soccer van! Interesting concept and yes the door needs a latch that does not need welding gloves to open when hot. Forgot about the baffle but when the tome comes to build mine I will put it in so the 2" chimney will work just as well as yours.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Excellent! I wish you the best with your build!

[@daphneraven6745]

did you already build your smaller sized model? And if so, how did it turn out?

[@user-nc2cn8dc6c]

Молодец, хорошо 👍делаешь, но надо толщину нержавейки брать 1,5мм -дно, стенки, перед и зад печи, а на верх 3мм тогда долго прослужит!, а эта щаржавет и прогорит жестянка- -0,5года и выбросишь! А длина и ширина и высота классная!!!! Нержавейка не магнитная (медицинская 👍🤝🙏👏👏👏👏✊✌👌!!!) из России с уважением за труд и продуманность только металл нержавейка.

[@scottwilson4712]

This is absolutely awesome!! Going to have to give this a try!

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you Scott! You should definitely give it a try. Not only will you have a functioning stove but it's a lot of fun to make as well. Have fun with your project! 👍

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Good Job.. I seen Lonnies version a while back... love that you guys share your techniques with everyone.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks for watching!

[@droppoint495]

I would like to see you make one using the sheet metal from a washer dryer or cook stove 👍good video

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you Drop Point! I would too, I may see if I can source some old appliance metal to do a project like that. This stove was an experiment and the tin is quite thin so I don't know what the lifespan will be. I will find out over time and use. I do think the design is a winner because the stove seems to work great so far. Thanks for stopping by!

[@DetenkleFriluftsliv]

WoW! Really nice job my friend! Very professional. I´m in the the process of building a little shelter out in the woods, and this would be just perfect for it. :-) Might try something like this. So this is very helpful information. I hope you are doing good. I´m still following all your videos. Take care!

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Give it a try my friend. It's a pretty simple project and I know you could easily make one. I just don't know how the thin metal will hold up but we'll find out eventually. It would go nicely in a little shelter I think. We are doing good here and hope you are as well. I'm still following your videos as well! Take care my friend!

[@DavidFox22]

Very cool! Curious how it will hold up to heat👍

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

I am too David! Stay tuned and I'll keep you updated as to how it holds up. 👍

[@sam31821]

Hi. Could we use it at home? In the rooms.

[@rayamundson8394]

I think it would be easier to use house ventilation , square metal to make an iron box at Menards with a rivet gun and tin snips. much easier and the box is already made for you ,plus the metal is thicker and will last longer. All you need to do is add a door and a back with hole for chimney. TOOLS: A rivet gun and rivets , tin snips , 18 inch one by one board , Hammer and a tape measure with black permanent marker. Also for the legs you will need 8 washers 4 bolts and 4 nuts. You can get a 1 inch by 6 feet aluminum thin square bar you can cut and bend for the legs at Menards. They have ALL the stuff there for the whole stove. EASY wood stove for the fish house or any other space you want to heat like your garage. Heat up stove 1st try outside to burn off stainless steel finish before you put this in any area.

[@saidjustsed2426]

Wow good job man A lot of technics are there I like the foldable oven legs One question I was wondering the weight of that oven And thanks a lot you gave me a lot of ideas👌

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thank you! I haven't weighed the stove but I would say it's pretty light. Probably not more than 7 or 8 pounds total not including the stove pipe.

[@PainterD54]

Looks interesting but doesn't galvanized metal give off toxic fumes when it gets hot? I'd be concerned about that.

[@ROTTNHOMESTEAD]

I like the design but hope you didn't get zinc poisoning from the galvanized tin

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

No zinc poisoning if you burn it off before putting it in a tent.

[@danieljonhson6367]

Don't use galvanized steel to build a stove it will release poisonous gas when heated, if you can't find anything else Sand it down on all surfaces to remove the finish.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

It's not a problem using galvanized steel to build a stove. Just burn the stove outside in open air a couple of times before you use it in a tent. No sanding necessary. This is common practice in Alaska and they know how to use stoves in Alaska.

[@colinaron8396]

What kind of lifespan do folks get from these kinds of wood stove builds? I know that's going to be wildly variable, but I was just schooled in the physics of stoves by a very helpful and seemingly neutral (he was talking straight science) guy at a stove shop. Seemed like thin stainless would wear out pretty quickly. Sounded like nothing but the very high grade steel (newly made) will last years. Refurbs of those already last much shorter. Safety also seems to be a much more sensitive issue than I thought with these things and proximity to the heat outside the stove.

[@u.s.militia7682]

Can you make one of these where the bottom of the floor at the door doesn’t have a lip? That way it would be easier to clean ashes. You could just pull the ashes out without having to go over a lip.

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Sure you could and that's a great idea! 👍

[@paulellsworth7679]

Maybe soaking the sheets in vinegar before assembly would be better to remove the zink...

[@shancolson4199]

How did you do the measurements for the ends

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

I explain that at about 13:15 in the video.

[@nicolaed1095]

Hi, I also made a similar stove, with small differences. What kind of chimney do you use? my chimney entrance is 8.5 cm in diameter, and I can't find such small tubes in diameter. Do you have any idea how to solve this? thanks

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Hello, I used 4 inch duct pipe for the chimney on my stove. I really do't know where to find 8.5 cm pipe. If you made your stove I would just make the chimney entrance capable of using a common pipe you can find near where you live.

[@nicolaed1095]

Ok thx.

[@daphneraven6745]

Hi Nico, I noticed your comment is a couple of years old, but if you go to the hardware store and get a roll of steel that you can open up and roll the opposite way for a chimney, that you can secure with a couple of hose clamps, You could have the pipe any size you wanted. And when you were done with it at the end of the trip, you could easily just roll it back up The way it was originally rolled, put a couple of rubber bands around it, and carry it back home in your stove. One useful tip might be to Do the first on rolling at home on the floor, where it’s nice and warm, with a couple of Friends or family members to help you out, To prevent you from getting any weird little kinks and dents in it. After the first one or two times that it has to be on, rolled to make it into a chimney, it doesn’t seem quite so fragile after that. I hope this helps, but I figure you’ve probably already got a solution found. How did you solve your problem?

[@jamesallen6829]

how does it burn?

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

I think it burns well.

How long are the legs?

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

About 12" but I extended them since to about 18".

[@davidledford3522]

Why not just buy square duct work ?

[@douglaspohl1827]

Do you know there is a big difference between HVAC air handler tin duct and single wall stove exhaust pipe? Big difference... expect the HVAC thin guage to burn out from fire high temperatures in the first season... wrong material for fire service. Report back on how many hours it lasted. Be safe... burning off zinc coating is toxic!

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

Thanks for the info

[@johnjohnny1822]

Use double wall

[@vetinger]

This zinc plating metal is very bad for your health in the time of burning....

[@campcam1545]

Sorry but I just have to point out something here. Great job on the stove but there is a big problem using galvanized metal. When heating galvanized metal, like the using HVAC duct for stove pipe, the zinc vaporizes and creates toxic fumes which can cause metal fume fever. You can get very sick from it. Galvanized metal should NOT BE USED for a woodstove. Just a comment, don't get mad at me for it, do your own research and just carry on and do what you will......

[@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10]

I've had no problem using galvanized metal on my wood stove as long as you burn off the galvanization out in open air prior to using the stove in an enclosed space. Once the galvanization is burnt off you can use the stove without any worries about any zinc fumes. At least this has been my experience.

[@campcam1545]

I was gonna say, if you do burn it all off, outside preferably, should probably be ok...@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10
