Make the BEST Gas Bottle Wood Stove!

Definitely the most popular recycled gas bottle stove in production. I make dozens of these every year and they are fitted to Cabins, Yurts, Houseboats and Tiny homes. This is the smallest of the Blazing Stoves collection and has been in production for over twenty years.

If you find my videos useful, perhaps you might consider chipping in for some gas money? Im too unwell to work now but I really want to keep bringing you these useful videos www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhous...

This guy's way of explaining and communication is out of this world compared to other videos I've watched.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thanks Fabian, Ive just finished four mour cos its winter here. And nobody buys woodfires in the summer! haha they are all just painted and sitting in the weak winter sunshine to harden off before I packem up and send them to their new owners. search 'wood fires' on my channel for lots more .

[@Omarateastwind]

Great info! Beautiful stoves! I have found that when I watch these videos, it's best done from my own bunker, with a warm blanket and a cuppa tea to soothe me when I get scared. Sometimes I have to pause the video, take some deep breaths and do a short meditation before continuing. Hey, it works for me!

[@mickbrown2303]

The best Gas bottle wood stove I've ever seen.Great job.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thanks 👍

[@PaulThomas-qo9vy]

Excellent, high quality design & fabrication. Details make the difference between blah/average & high quality! Thanks for sharing!

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thank you.

[@timothybageant7429]

LOL… neighborhood all goes to a concrete bunker while you prep. I can’t stop chuckling… just found your channel, and I think this is the channel for me. Can’t wait to see more cool stuff.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Im growing mushrooms in the concrete bunker now so ive got nowhere to herd the neighbors. watch my recent video about the boiler from a 1920s convent powering my mushroom steriliser . Ultimately Ill be growing $3000pw in gourmet mushrooms and the whole enterprise is made from other people's junk.

[@GBCobber]

Nice job. Just a thought; Bending the frame sections around the smaller base of that particular bottle, while being a little more difficult, might work better.

[@wayfarerchris.4116]

That was well worth the watch! Great little tips and tricks all the way through. Thanks for sharing👍.

[@ravensglenn]

Great job . So good to watch something being made, very satisfying.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thanks bud- there's new stuff all the time. latest video is a scissor lift motorcycle table made from dump junk.

[@luizacosta5932]

Your work is amazing, and I am most likely to make one myself. I love your clever idea of the double burning plate. I hope you get well wish I knew your KZbin channel earlier but from now on I'll be one of your followers . 😊❤❤12:59

[@jphdg]

Awesome little stove. Love this!!

[@robertbailey2342]

I've opened many many tanks and never had a issue, however you MUST know what your doing!! Just spent all day cutting a tank to build a stove for my shop. Excellent job!! Coast of Maine waving

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thanks Robert. Ive had people tell me some utter rubbish about how the lpg soaks into the metal and you cant succesfully purge it. Ive made these every year since year 2000- about 50 per year. that's 1200 bottles and Im still here to tell the story.

[@robertbailey2342]

@t.h.o.r. well obviously they don't have any experience lol. I've made everything from ballmills to wood stoves out of them and never had any issues yet. Really like your style and the fact that I can learn from you! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@justdoingstuffrsa751]

Just landed a few empty tanks today. Will be trying something soon. Nice video.

[@boothienz8021]

Thanks for taking us through your process. I've made a bute wee camping fire for in the gazebo and am currently working on a waste oil fire for my shed, both out of gas bottles from the tip

[@t.h.o.r.]

bloody awesome! hey a plasma torch is a game changer. your consumables would last forever in that dry Otago air

Thank you very much!

[@jaygrist165]

Hello,Thankyou for uploading this episode, ace content, have you had any updates from the water filter system/s,anyhows, thanks again, well explained, top stuff,respect, keep smiling, J

[@t.h.o.r.]

lol!- many feedbacks telling me that their flower pot water filter doesnt work. I think many plant pots must get a coating on them to slow transpiration. I would suggest a good hot fire in one to burn of any coating.

[@craigsymington5401]

All the trade secrets Thanks Stu. "Don't say sorry"😂😂😂 Bunker 3:11 you're a hoot😂 (for ACC, no doubt😊) I'm having des jes vous?

[@scud69er]

This is awesome. Really great work! There's real thought and craftsmanship in this. Not a half-arsed cut holes, weld legs job done. The whole video and explanation was really good. It reminded me of my mentor in my first carpentry job, a very VERY skilled cabinet maker. Meticulous in his work and frustrating at times but the end result was flawless. Truly hats off to you my man. These are the skills and effort that this generation lacks, it transfers to all aspects of life. Sad times

[@t.h.o.r.]

hey thanks man, you i have made my day. ZIm just painting 3 more today and sending them out tomorrow. Winter is almost over here, so,it will start to slow down soon and i can get into making more videos on fun projects.

Great job mate, just fantastic, any tips on where to get the glass for the door without paying for with a kidney, haha. Seeya Rob

[@t.h.o.r.]

Its called Schott glass www.schott.com/en-nz It costs nz$900 m2 but its all there is any glass company can get it for you.

I would be mortified if someone came here and sold my land rover doors and my ranch sliders! Thank goodness I have no inlaws

[@wadehoagland9188]

Thank you for the how to video I am fabricating one for myself Question does the heat plate on the inside remove or was it welded solid ? And noticed that one had a exhaust damper. Do you recommend adding one? Thank you. Great video

[@t.h.o.r.]

the semi circular double burn plate sits on three pins and is replaceable. you can also tune the performance by trimming the front- (straight) edge of the plate. on installations with a long chimney there is too much draw so the damper is how you slow it down after you get it started. minimum chimney length is 1.5m. any chimney over 3m needs a damper. I hope that helps?

[@wadehoagland9188]

Thank you for the reply Would love to show you what my finished project looks like

[@wadehoagland9188]

Question when it comes to the site glass. Do you leave it loose simply the gasket snug and can wiggle around. Or tight no wiggle ? Thanks again send me you email finished today

[@joshb6993]

Very nice work! Just wondering where you got the 3kw capacity from? I was hoping to get somewhere around 5kw for a sauna out of a 9kg gas bottle stove. Maybe I'll need to go bigger?

[@t.h.o.r.]

burning with hardwood or a gentle forced fan induction you will easily get 5Kw. Or a bigger diameter longer chimney. About 4metres will give you 5Kw

[@joshb6993]

@t.h.o.r. fantastic! That's great news, many thanks for sharing your expertise. Going to get cracking tonight!

[@joshb6993]

@t.h.o.r. I have plenty of 6 inch flue, too big ?

[@t.h.o.r.]

I just watched the vid again- that was a small 4.5 kg bottle. hence the 3Kw

[@t.h.o.r.]

That a real overkill. 120mm is the 'sporty model' you could use an adaptor transition cone to make it fit as getting a 150mm flue into a 300mm dia body is pretty ugly. A flue that big will suck a lot of embers and put out a lot of sparks @@joshb6993 Ive got lots of fire videos. Rocket stoves are awesome too if you have lots of >30mm tree branches each winter they are a great way of utilising waste for heat.

[@mrMacGoover]

I have a flux core inverter welding machine as well, It's small and light with a carrying strap.

[@t.h.o.r.]

They are so nice. I have a Caddy for arc welding structural steel up ladders. this one is 200amp for trailers and agricultural implements.

[@mvpmachine]

I like it! I seems as if your kung fu could be better than mine 😏

[@t.h.o.r.]

I disagree- look at your double burn system!

[@mvpmachine]

@@t.h.o.r. You have production down though, mine in my opinion is too costly to make and sell. I really like your design and a great job on the finish. I have been looking for a more professional coating to use on mine, and the paint you used seems like a good fit next time it comes in for refinishing. These things are so fun to make and it is great to see someone take the time to and care to do proper work! I subscribed.

[@Kghost0311]

I just open my tanks then drill a hole in empty tanks with dry ice around my bit and locally on the tank at slow speed, never thoight about building a bunker and doing it remote 😅

[@johnwurst6691]

A few things: Maybe wear two gloves when welding, much safer. Flux-cored welding wire gives off extremely toxic fumes. Do you wear a respirator? The welder won't say 'I'm sorry'.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Lol yes. Its like one of those spot the mistake videos isnt it?

[@karmann1799]

Talking about safety. You should be wearing gloves and long sleeves while welding. The light is unfiltered UV. So you can actually get sunburnt from it.

[@t.h.o.r.]

When you reverse polarity for flux core wire - you eliminate the UV

[@shanejenkins4446]

u'll only were glove's until u deglove you're self

[@jeffreyhill3960]

Do you work for the safety department at work? Most folks work in a way that they are comfortable with. I notice you don’t wear gloves whilst welding. You do nice work on your project….perhaps it is appropriate for people to decide on their own to what they do or don’t. Just get over it please! Nice stove!
