Firebox...............

[Black Sheep]

Made myself a Firebox this week.

It's made from scrap panels I've salvaged at work and a stainless drainer cover as the grate.

I had to cut and fit the panels together size is just over a foot long by 6" wide and 10"tall. Only problem was the panels were Zintec coated/galzo so I've had to burn that off

But it works well, just need to make an ash pan for it instead of my Misses' baking tray

Here's few few pic's

Cheers

great firebox are you planning on putting anything on top for cooking e. g. bars or are you just having it for a fire,
mutch better than my atempted yukon copy that took weeks and would have been cheaper to buy a proper one

I resisted saying that because i saw it from scratch, but noooooo, you had to go and burst the bubble spikey

Reminds me of an AMMO BOX stove.

Will that go rusty?

Will that go rusty?

I would expect so but I might end up painting it with Plasticote BBQ paint

Get some heat resistant paint, but i don't bother, as you're setting fire to them anyway.

I just happen to have a few cans of it in the garage.

I use it to paint my Steam engine boilers and it withstands the heat very well. In fact I've even cleaned it off round a boiler bush and brazed a new one in without damaging the paint work round it. It's good stuff

Interestingly enough its made from the circuit board support trays out of an old Dialysis machine.

I'm sorry to say its a bit distorted after last nights burning in, I've had to rivet the stainless grate in place tonight to pull it back to shape

Still it's built from scrap so it's only cost me my time to make.

looks good, you should give it a good test out on bonfire night, couple of fire works and a bottle of wine and you'll be sorted!!!!!
