Calor gas bottle stove (where is it?)

[maddave]

I've seen somewhere on the net a homemade woodburning stove with chimney made out of an old Calor Gas bottle, one of these.....

I remember it had a door on the front and a hotplate on the top when done

But I've searched high and low and can no longer find it :?:

Any Ideas?

I think it is one of the companies who make teepees that sell them, I will have a look in my favourites and see if I have the link.

You could try one of the Yurt manufacturers like Woodland Yurts or Albion Tent Co. I seem to remember they also supplied woodburners for tents etc. Don't know Web sites offhand but will have a look for you.
I've got a stove made from a gas bottle with hinged door and separate air vent. It had a small section of flue to which I have added sections of industrial ducting.It's a bit big to keep moving around but would certainly keep a large yurt or teepee cosy.I used it in my workshop for a few years but it's now sitting unconnected in a fireplace inside.I bought it from a traveller in Norfolk and it cost me £80.

Oh, for a plasma cutter. Problem is, the sort I'd like a) would need 3 phase and b) would cut 20mm steel

That's the monkey :super: I knew I'd seen it but was going barmy looking for it. I have an old gas bottle and I think I might have a go :biggthump

If you make one Dave let us know how you get on, where do you intend to use it?.

 

[MartiniDave]

Hmmm.... :Thinkingo

That gives me an idea.........

Are you looking at making one or buying one. I know the guy who makes the Albion canvas one, and there are other models far cheaper. Well made and designed stove :biggthump

Cheers

dave i was thinking about making one.. and wondered if it was wise to go at something wich might still have flamable gas in it with an angel grider?

what you going to do.. fill it with water??

or just maddave it?

I've covered the safety aspects before now on British Blades. There *are* precautions that need to be taken, it isn't necessarily the wisest thing to do. And I'm not liable for other people doing stupid things.

filling the cylinder up with water is the trick and leave the valve off whilst you grind. I have an idea on making a small portable forge out of one of the smaller ones too, but that's another project for later on...............

Mad Dave it indeed!! Now where's that angle grinder MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[tomtom]

"maddave it" sounds like a new fraze to me

where you getting empty calorgas comtainors from then?

 

[SquirrelBoy]

These look great fun - spare steel wheel + gas cylinder + brake disc, if only I had the time and skills...

Make sure you let us know how you get on Dave ! Pics will be needed :biggthump

Where to get empty containers from ?, a half hour drive along a country lane will usually be enough to find a few, plauged with damm fly tippers round here.

made one about a year ago, filled with water a few times and then left outside for a couple of weeks, i just cut the hole out with a jigsaw, made a bit of a vent on the side put some flue on top and painted the thing with barbacue paint, great for sitting around on a cold evening outside, I`ve also cut one inhalf to practice cooking on a open fire, will post some pics at the weekend. theres a site called stewardwood and they have a DIY guide on wood burners. ):

No probs... Once I start I'll document it all :biggthump

I made a very basic one out of a beer keg a couple of years ago which I gave to a mate, but this thread has put me in the mood to have a go at making a decent one!

I came back from Merthyr Mawr with a dinky one that will probably become a small melting furnace (and a couple of carrier bags of rubbish, but they went in the bin).
