Calor gas bottle stove (where is it?)

[george]

I wrote up some details on how to make these a while back for some folks who were looking to make them for their moskoselkatans. Anyone wants a copy pm me.

Latest version is being made out of a stainless steel stockpot.

I have always found pipe for the flue to be the hardest part to source free. The best I have found so far is road sign posts, but hav always thought a lamp post would make flues for a good few stoves if I could get one. What have you used?

Dont want to post something that tells people to cut open a gas bottle with a stihl saw - now if you want to ask me how I did it thats different.

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

Portable forge with a serious burner...!!! I made the burner once, and nearly cremated next doors cat at 50 paces....!

The Eazi-burner is so much fun...!! Emptied a 15kg propane in a very short time playing....!!

My brother in law made a smoker for doing his trout out of an old wood burning water boiler, and I've just realised that you could easily make one from an old calor bottle.

After all the safety precautions of degassing and filling with water, chop the top off where it starts to curve. A strip of metal is then bolted around the top lip on the outside so that the top can be put back on and will not slip off.

Remove the top valve and replace it with a large butterfly valve so that you can control the fire, and make a hole with a small door at the bottom of the bottle to feed the fire and to put the wood chippings in for smoking. Drill some holes under the strip of metal to locate hanging rods for the fish, and the burner is complete.

I am now on the lookout for a large calor bottle and the help of a mad welder (I know a few of them!!) and a bucket of fish!

yes i have made one of these years ago for a caravan

you have to be very carfull as there is still gas in them
best to knock of the tap bit with a sledge hammer taking care that there is plenty of room for the thing to rocket a few hundred yards if there is any gas in them without them hitting anything then once its empty and airedout you can cut it with a torch and weld i handle and hinge on to it for the door the rest depends on how far you want to go

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?
