Keep in mind that I've only used it for a couple weeks, that being said, so far so good kzbin.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM . Using it at 8 ft. by 8ft. deer blind that is insulated. I have to keep the door cracked for it to get enough air to burn, but that is very likely the wood I've used. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Now if I can just take it easy in the beginning it won't be 90 degrees in my blind. All in all it seems like a keeper.

My Uncle showed me a similar project to this that he learned about in Europe. He landed on the afternoon of D Day and was on the front lines into Czechoslovakia with Patton's 3rd Army. IIRC he said they used parts off of destroyed vehicles like tail pipes and such. Had a little cottage industry going selling them to other units. Traded a bunch to the men of the 101St Airborne in December of 44 for German watches, Lugers, cameras and optics.

Another small tip.. when cutting with a file, only contact the metal on the forward stroke. Back stroking a file will round off the cutting edges. You can clean your files up and make them cut good by soaking for a few days in white vinegar, they will come out with the factory look to them. Hope this helps someone.

I am currently building a ammo can stove myself. I saw on a site that was selling them they built theirs with the lid on the bottom so when it comes time to clean out the ash all you would have to do is open the lid and it dumps out.
@Swedwoods7 жыл бұрын
Patriot Prepper that is a good idea if not building the ash tray like I did. Another benefit with the upside down, if using the feeder door like i do, is its not in the way when feeding fire wood into the stove. it stays down by gravity. but i have a small hatch for that now. the upside down has one drawback though. the bottom of the can is thin. and the lid is reinforced so good to have as a top where it will be very hot. but still its a good idea. easy to reinforce
@highlandwinterwolf85897 жыл бұрын
Might be a little troublesome to add, but instead of letting the lid remain in one piece, you could split if in half, then do a hinged flap door where both pieces swing sideways.

Step 1 should be "ensure that ammo has been removed before proceeding further". (sorry, couldn't resist!) Nice idea for an effective and cheap tent stove. I spent $400 on a wood stove that was probably less effective than this one, plus the weight of the thing was prohibitive. Actually, I now use a Buddy Heater with a 12-foot hose to a 20lb. propane tank. Lots of people are hesitant about using propane, but in truth, those heaters give off less CO than a woodstove. But for those who are dead set against propane, this is an excellent stove! Nice work!

And over the course of the last few years, even those who lived in cities didn’t have access to goods and services, because everything was shut down for the pandemic. There’s an extreme value in being able to improvise when necessary. Particularly in rural areas, it could mean the difference between doing without, and having the needs of a persons family met; in hard times, it could mean the difference between having enough and falling short. Intelligence and innovation make all the difference.

your ammo can stove uild is the first i find on youtube which has simple tools being used that most people have at home or can get their hands on. i hate "simple" tutorials where you first have to buy all those proffesional tools.

Liked the stove but would personally use self tapping screws instead of bolts. Great build!👍
@Swedwoods5 жыл бұрын
Tried that in more recent builds at the channel but next time I'm going back to the good ol screw nut and washer. Self tappers come loose when the metal constantly heat up and cool down. A normal screw and bolt you just tighten. A self tapper you need eventually to go up a dimension. And hard to do that in the wild im thinking.

@Swedwoods5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the tip. If I find metal lock nuts here I will try them in my next build.

Built one after watching this. Only thing I used different was a jigsaw with a metal blade to make the cuts. Yes the hacksaw blade works, but the jig is quicker.

Nice work with basic equipment 👍 Great design and excellent practical results ! Thanks for sharing. Being innovative and making use of what you have is what this is all about ! Anyone can creat a masterpiece with a fully equipped shop. But these so called “master craftsmen” fail to realize that a lot of things we take for granted are simply not available or affordable in many parts of the world.

Great project! I am curious though... if your smoke stack is bolted to the lid, and it is all really hot, how would you go about opening it to add more wood? The square opening up front? Open the top, which is hard to do with a long hot pipe attached to it? For a long night, I'd suggest attaching the pipe to its side as close to the top as possible so you can get the lid open to add bigger pieces of wood. Just my two cents. Nice job though.

check out my following video when i camp with the stove in a tent and you see how I feed it!
@victorc7777 жыл бұрын
Ok, that is what I thought (through front flap). I guess the opening is big enough to feed the fire. Thanks for sharing!
@matthewwatson9585 жыл бұрын
You could make the carb vent holes and flap on the side towards the front also, you wouldn't need to seal and fabricate the front latch. Less material.

Hole saw? Self tapping screws?
@Swedwoods7 жыл бұрын
what happens when a self tapping screw comes loose eventually? just bring along a screwdriver? havr never tried them
@AdamosDad7 жыл бұрын
I am besides many other things a sheet metal worker ( tin knocker ) the proper self tapping screw has locks on it and will last longer without loosening than those 1/4-20 bolts will without flats and locks. Great video by the way I guess in my mind I was thinking how I would do it on a larger scale and faster, sorry that's just me I am a critical thinker and its hard not to tell someone how I would do it. Good job on the idea, very good use of the coat hooks.

What a great project. So impressive. I do have a tip for you. I use a hacksaw blade at work a lot like you did here but I found it is easier to handle if you reverse the cutting direction so you are cutting on the pull instead of the push. I makes it easier to control. keep up the good work. you rock.

I really like this comment because so many people have said they don't understand why I put in the time in this instead of buying a readily made tentstove for hundreds of dollars. Or buying welding equip etc and do it faster. And for me it's not only about saving money with this project. It's simply fun. It's a satisfaction in creating it from scratch and leftover junk and see that it works out in a tent. Thanks again!
