D.I.Y Wood burner ( Pic Heavy ).

[Still Waters]

Yes the lid is hinged
I made it that way so i could put a bbq grate on the top and also so my wok could sit in the direct heat of the flames.
The air inlet is a piece of pipe welded to the rear

Very nice stoves.

Also some kind of spark arrestor should be considered.

I have wondered wether a stainless steel "splatter screen" used for frying pans would work.

Something like http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10112530

Got one around here somewhere but as soon as I thought of a possible use for it, I can no longer find it.

Now those fantastic gas cylinder stoves are in a different league.
The ones I made are not a daily use item more of a light weight burner for, lets say, a canoe camping trip. Fitting grates etc to a stove of this type would be over kill,it's almost a disposable item. Being made of such thin steel I imagine it would last a season or two of occasional use before it perforated.

Here's a link to the video that originally got my interest :

Also here's one using a beer keg in a shelter :

And here's a picture I lifted of some web site while doing a search, I really like this picture:

All the best. Pete.

Any chance of pics to show the air inlet please?

I have a number of cylinders available and am keen to have a go at making one of these.
Any pointers gratefully received.

Andy

Hi Jared.
Good idea about the splatter screen .Kiraru use a two mesh discs slipped into the chimney near the stove , I might give that a try.

Ah, nice. Shame no pics to see how fine the mesh is. Suppose mesh from a sieve would be another option if needs to be abit more open.

 

[LazySod]

Does this help .....

 

[pwb]

Thanks LazySod. That helps a lot.
Pete.

 

[Jared]

Ah under stove accessories on Kifaru's site.
$12 for a pair! Crikey.

Ah, but I'll use your splatter screen idea Jared, or similar to make mine.

Looks like they just slip into place.

Pete.

Yeah, they seem to use them to control the burn rate too.

"Extra Cinder Screens
Use them both, or one at a time to help control burn rate and amount of cinder output (depending upon your wood)."

 

[pwb]

Yeah, they seem to use them to control the burn rate too.

Suppose I'll have to experiment

Hi,

I arrived while searching for some guides on making a woodburner. just looking for some advice.

Old gas bottles are lovely to work with
heres a little stove i made from one

That is pretty cool. I have a couple of gas canisters and an old iron frying pan which I could use to make something like that. What did you use for the chimney? and why is it capped off?

The lid on the gas bottle stove was an old cast iron griddle
its on upside down on the stove

Im sure an old frying pan would work just as well

I love knocking usefull items up from scrap and rubbish i find lying around i made a chimnea for the patio a while ago also from a gas bottle

Again that is pretty cool. As I have two canisters I could use one to make the woodburner and one for the chimnea.

Can anyone suggest what to use for the chimney, preferably something I could get for nowt or really cheap?

cheers
