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.

Are you producing these, or plan to make more. The plethora of jigs will make it easy enough. I was thinking the same thing, invert the can, I won’t screw it closed though I’ll keep the hinge and latch functioning for an easy clean out and access. 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.

TimCan The Jig Man, you are an artist! I have no talent whatsoever. That is one beautiful stove. I'd give anything to be able to build that great stove, but I don't have the skill nor the tools to build anything. You ever thought of building those and selling them. You could make all the parts, then let the buyers put it together. I'd definitely buy one if they were in my price range. That is just what I need for camping in the winter.

Thank you for the compliment! No, sorry, I don't build them to sell. As noted in another comment, it costs about $100 for the materials to build one and they are very labor intensive to do them right. If I sold them for $200, it wouldn't be enough. There is a website that does sell similar ammo can stoves for about $150 plus shipping if they have them in stock. Still, you can get a Buddy heater for $70 from Amazon. That's my backup plan.

Yes, the stove got hotter than the POR 15 could take. There's a high temp version of POR 15 but since I've repainted the stove with the high temp paint where the POR 15 came off, I haven't felt the need for it. The high temp Rust Oleum has been awesome.

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.

I enjoyed your video very much. Excellent workmanship. Excellent planning skills. Making jigs enables yourself to replicate the design and possibly going into business and selling them? 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. Sorry if I'm long-winded

@@timcanthejigman7932 Yes you can buy them separately. Is there any benefit to 9/16 over a half inch when it's only a 16th more? I'm guessing you use that as a maximum diameter for airflow without exceeding metal rigidity to keep the vent disc strong and warp resistant.

Thanks anyway TimCan Jig Man. You do beautiful work! I think I may have most of the tools to make one if I improvise. My biggest problem is I have no place to plug in tools as I'm staying with my elderly mother at her retirement home and I certainly don't have the awesome jigs you created...very impressed with those. Also, it's been many many years since I used a grinder for anything and I'm concerned about cutting myself. I will use your style to guide by if I ever get the chance to plug in. I bought solar panels yesterday so maybe when that's hooked up I can run my Ryobi power tools...don't know if 100w will charge the batteries. :-) Just love how organized and clean your workspace was!

Does the size of the stove pipe matter too much? I’m using a slightly bigger ammo can and have a 3” diameter exhaust pipe I want to use for my pipe. other than weight (it’s heavy lol) is that too big? Should I drop it down to 2.5”?
@timcanthejigman79324 жыл бұрын
I'd stick with 3", that works on the can I use. I don't think you'll save much weight with a 2 1/2" pipe and might be more difficult to find fittings.

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

@timcanthejigman79323 жыл бұрын
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! Keeps me thinking.

@timcanthejigman79325 жыл бұрын
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.

Question? The gasket sealer you are using on the starter collar is rated for 625 degrees.....Is that sufficient? seems like using some other high temp fire place caulk , etc would be higher rated heat? please explain....I am in the middle of constructing one of these and now u got me thinking?
@timcanthejigman79327 жыл бұрын
I didn't want to use anything more permanent for that since I anticipate the start collar rusting and having to be replaced. That being said, the gasket material mostly melted away but what's left has the start collar glued down pretty tightly. It may melt away more the more I burn in it. That'll be one thing I'll monitor closely. Good luck with your build!

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.

Rising hot gasses will naturally draft up the chimney.
