Quite fancy one of these to go in mine, as they are really small (around 10" cube)...

Cheap by tent stove standards (about £100 all-in, inc chimney), but whole point of this Lavvu is the cheapness! Not such a bargain if I end up buying lots of other bits.

That looks great, and a cracking price compared to the normal ones like this, many of which seem to fall to bits, or plain dont work, after spending a small fortune.

Saves a lot work buying kit sometimes. ;)

Will be finishing my stove tonight as I've just bought this tent from the German guy on ebay because of the other thread and Addo's home comfort stove.

Look forward to seeing it. Still just for the kids to play in ehh ;) :D

Ex Leeds, now Killala
I gave the wife 3 reasons:

1. Kids play tent
2. Rain coat for walking the dog in the harsh british weather!
3. My christmas present.

But I would be trying it before christmas I just need to put legs on the stove and sort out the chimney.

What an elitist snob.......
Fancy having a tent with a stove in it.

Joking aside, well done Addo. I think thats ace Mate.
Would you mind saying how much you've spent all in.

Thanks, Mart.

Well im pretty sure the ammo box stove will cost nowt as I managed to get a box for free the other day. It would be purpose made and be more appropriate, as long as I can get a henry hoover type pipe for a flue (kicking myself as I scrapped one recently).
Then I'll use the sheild ect I made which was out of scrap and general bits saved over the years, out the garage.

So all in with a home made stove, £24 :D

And some of my time.

No problem. Been milling the design over in my head today. Going to crack on soon with the parts I can do then see about the rest.

That gives me an idea:

Standard French letter box available in galv or stainless, about 10"x10"x12", side or bottom hinged flap, and starting around £20. I might go and give one a good look over tomorrow, see if it's feasible.

go stainless, im led to believe that galvanised gives off toxic fumes when burnt

aha! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fume_fever

seems stainless isnt without risk either

no idea on amount of exposure etc that would present a risk
