Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
We are thinking of getting one made. Supposedly having the gas bottle on the side is the better option because it allows more area on the bottom for log space.
I think the upright position is easier to make.
Takes up less space and if you put it on some sort of legs you get space for logs under.
Since the one on eBay is only 35 cm tall, after adding say 40cm long legs it’s still not too high and you don’t have to worry about protecting the floor with some heat resistant plate.
Now, all I have to do is to find place where I can get hinges like that.

cool, they are made in the same city as I, so that means no delivery charge!
That stove looks nice but my god is it small when you look at the specs.
Thanks for the heads up all the same, I'm sure I'll get one from him in the future for the allotmont or home garden.

Yes it is small but, do you really need bigger.
The one I’m planning on building is based on 15kg bottle. It will be bigger but I need something that will keep me toasted in my shed over the winter.

I've had one of these for about 10 years keeping me warm in my shed. Not the one in the picture but similar. They are the cat's pyjamas
yeah I've always wondered about welding and metal work, it's always had an appeal to me. I wonder how much the gear costs? I would love to be able to fabricate whatever I needed.
You made that from a kit bought from... ALDI's??!? niice.
Just what was in the kit and how much did it cost?

It was (and is) a stick welder. Not a powerful one, and I am told by people that weld, is only good for small jobs, but does them ok. I found it tricky but interesting to practice welding. I read up what I could, and there were a few youtubes on technique that were interesting. The main thing was safety and protecting the eyes and skin from the arc. But theres nothing like giving it a go. My welds still look like bird droppings, but the bits are holding together and the welds are slightly neater as time goes on...
I can't recall the price but it wasnt a lot ?£50 or less. There was the box, leads, pack of assorted sticks, hand held welding mask, wire brush and chipping hammer, and magnets for holding pieces... IIRC they had gloves and sticks and better masks on sale later in the month..

How about looking into a way to make these without welding i.e. rivets???
I've been looking, found a few ideas but no plans as such.

You might be able to do it if you hot riveted them.
As for plans all the ones I've seen look like they were done free hand
no its not that one but thanks didnt see that one its one that still looks like a bottle and had a very cool eye on the door that glowed when the fire wa lite
That looks pretty smart dude.
Found these on a website last night, bit pricy but you get the idea with them
