Log burner from an old ammo tin?

[Itzal]

Hi all,

I have been looking at some pictures of hobo stoves and home made log burners, and I was wondering if anyone has made a small log burner from a ammo tin before. Sure I have seen pictures but cannot find them.

I reckon with a welder and an angle grinder it would be fairly simple.

Any ideas?

I think it might have been Martink9 or NoLightweight, have a look at their "out & about" posts

Cheers guys, is there any issues when making such a 'burner', IE: channeling the smoke/fumes?

I like the look of some of the other burners. I may have to get it done.

Just for you info the box used Above is a H83 Mk2

I've got some old metal tool boxes left from amongst the stuff i cleared out of my dads place. I plan to make something similar myself, i'm thinking along the lines of it being able to come apart & pack into its self.

There quite easy Itzal if you can weld/cut etc. Good fun too.
Have to crank mine up again soon now the nights are drawing in.

Hi I have made an ammo tin stove which heats my bell tent up. its OK, to make it burn well you do need a smoke box/fire box and baffle inside, a way to regulate the air etc. I am happy to give you more detailed plans if you contact me,

Since these photos were taken the chimney is longer and has an extra section to take it through the tent, the steel hotplate is alluminium and pop rivited on as it gets much hotter and I have put some peltier cells to use it to charge things like camera batteries and my mobile whilst camping.

Here is a link to my dropbox photo galery of it.
