Homemade wood burning stove

 |
Follow my blog at www.shedprojects.blogspot.com This wood burning stove is made from an old 13kg propane bottle. When it is copmplete I will post the next video. Its a copy of the “HOTPOD” style stove. See www.hotpod.co.uk An update of this stove can be found at http Thanks for looking
as for the glass, the only product i have found to hold up to the heat is called Pyroceram – a transparent ceramic, got it online from one day glass
I was considering a way to check the draft of your chimney. If you cover and seal the top with a piece of glass and then with a small fan cause some draw on your chimney, you could use whatever will cause the thickest white smoke and watch to see if dropping the level and angle of your baffle will improve or decrease your draw. I don’t know if you looked into side views of fireplace flues or if that would pertain.
very well craftmanship !
great idea and awesome concept i wish i could make one
love it, do you sell them?
nice work,i like the taps very much
nice vid
Having been inspired by your video, I finished mine the other week.
Must try to get a video up.
I used a glass sauce pan lid for the door, which worked fine during the first test fire to burn off the bottle’s paint – although the air wash didn’t stop it getting blacked out with the smoke / fire.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome.. I like it almost as much as the Ammo can stove. Amazing work!
looks like a giant bong. I’d pay money to see someone clear THAT shit.
Havn’t fired the stove yet so can’t say if the pyrex is suitable or not. Thanks for your comments. You could trty a material called ‘mica’. This would certainly stand up to the temps but is very expensive.
Looks good but questions about the glass.
How does pyrex stand up to the temperature of naked flames?
I am concerned at the safety because if I wanted to put my family within 10 feet of it I’d have to be very sure. After research I see that pyrex is unlikely to shatter but fracture instead, have you had any glass break?
Does the glass keep it’s clarity with little cleaning?
I’m not being rude, just questioning whether it is worthwhile putting the glass in.
Hi Paul. Sadly I wont be able to make you a top for your stove. The milling machine I used, I no longer have access to.
I’m sure a local engineers workshop would be able to knock you one up.
Thanks for checking out my video.
Is your fire/life insurance up to date LOL.
Thank You,
Would You Make One For Me, With The Flangr?
If Yes How Much Would You Charge?
Many Thanks

Hi.
The top is made from 3/8th thick steel plate. I used a milling machine with a flat bottomed cutter to mill the letters in. They are about 1/16th of an inch deep.
Thanks for looking
Hi,
Please could you tell me where you got The HOT top from?
many thanks
Paul
hi there, the stove looks fantastic/!
I am so impressed with it, i have copied it to make my own.
I am welding the front fuel tube onto th front today, and next week I will be having the top and flanges profile cut.
The question i have is does it burn well? I am concerned the the 15kg bottle I have used is too thin and will glow red when I get a good fire going inside. have you had this problem?
Kind Regards, Simon
@rohojamagic Some people obviously never seen real plants. Anyway, very nice project. I’m planning to make one, but i need some costy power tools to do so.
One or two people have asked about the plant in the garden …. no it isnt. Its a pieris japonica ….. quite legal.
“Should say Pyrex, not Perspex.” LOL – I love it!
Very nice.
Hi. Thanks for your comments.
The loading pipe was made from a short length of 5″ dia steel pipe I picked up from a scrap yard. It is slightly smaller than the pipe dia used on the original hotpods.
No, I am not Irish ….. English … Lancashire to be precise.
nice work what did you use for the loadind pipe yours looks smart nice taps
