Finally finished the backyard/camp wood stove.

admin

I was putting this off for months. I finally finished.  Three propane tanks cut and welded together.  The top burner plate is removable and a portion of a smaller propane tank was welded at the top to support the burner plate.  Also, a cast iron skillet fits nicely over the top hole in lieu of the optional burner plate. The stove is completely modular and stores in the upright position if needed for space, transportation and the rainy season.  The chimney, legs, internal floor grate, top burner plate (3/16" thick) door (3/16") and internal chimney baffle (to help keep the heat within) are all removable and store inside the stove for transport or garage storage purposes.  The angle iron mitered door frame was the most difficult thing to weld on the round front portion of the tank. The door has bullet style hinges and I used my plasma cutter to make vent holes with an adjustable door vent.  Below the bottom door frame is a 2" pipe with another adjustable air intake vent if needed for start-ups.  All done with the dreaded 6013 and a buzzbox.  I used 6013 because propane tanks are so thin.  I could have used a mig welder, but that's no fun.   The welds are just "okay" as I'm not to good with stick when it comes to filling in wide gaps that I had issues with.  But hey, it's just a wood stove for my deer and bear hunts.

Reply:Why is the burner plate removable?  Is it to make the burner hotter by putting the pan on without the plate?  I'm just curious because I don't know, this is not criticism, looks like a nice stove.
