Keep in mind that I've only used it for a couple weeks, that being said, so far so good kzread.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM . Using it at 8 ft. by 8ft. deer blind that is insulated. I have to keep the door cracked for it to get enough air to burn, but that is very likely the wood I've used. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Now if I can just take it easy in the beginning it won't be 90 degrees in my blind. All in all it seems like a keeper.

LOVE this!! No stupid music to get on your nerves, no yacking. Just watch and absorb. Which, by the way, if one has any brain cells and attention span at all, is not hard to do. That's how it was done in school before musical background was required for every damn thing.

Nice project. As a quick tip, before cutting off bolts, run a nut down past the part being cut off. Then, after you cut it, taking the nut off will clean up any damaged threads a lot easier than trying to get a nut on.

My Uncle showed me a similar project to this that he learned about in Europe. He landed on the afternoon of D Day and was on the front lines into Czechoslovakia with Patton's 3rd Army. IIRC he said they used parts off of destroyed vehicles like tail pipes and such. Had a little cottage industry going selling them to other units. Traded a bunch to the men of the 101St Airborne in December of 44 for German watches, Lugers, cameras and optics.

Another small tip.. when cutting with a file, only contact the metal on the forward stroke. Back stroking a file will round off the cutting edges. You can clean your files up and make them cut good by soaking for a few days in white vinegar, they will come out with the factory look to them. Hope this helps someone.

Patriot Prepper that is a good idea if not building the ash tray like I did. Another benefit with the upside down, if using the feeder door like i do, is its not in the way when feeding fire wood into the stove. it stays down by gravity. but i have a small hatch for that now. the upside down has one drawback though. the bottom of the can is thin. and the lid is reinforced so good to have as a top where it will be very hot. but still its a good idea. easy to reinforce

Little tip, before you cut a bolt, thread a nut on it past the point of the intended cut. After you make your cut and dress the flash, just unscrew the nut and it will clean, and if necessary re-cut, the threads.

There’s an extreme value in being able to improvise when necessary. Particularly in rural areas, it could mean the difference between doing without, and having the needs of a persons family met; in hard times, it could mean the difference between having enough and falling short. Intelligence and innovation make all the difference.

There's only two ways to make an ammo box DIY heater. The right way and your way! Great job with your ideas on it .

THAT is a PROJECT! There are more steps than one would at first imagine but the result is AWESOME! I look forward to seeing it in use. By the way, I would rather use your stove (based on your video) than the commercial set up that was gifted to you.

Thanks a lot! The follow up field tests has been up for a couple of years my friend. If you like this check out my more recent builds of ammo can tent stoves at the channel. Much better!

I really like this comment because so many people have said they don't understand why I put in the time in this instead of buying a readily made tentstove for hundreds of dollars. Or buying welding equip etc and do it faster. And for me it's not only about saving money with this project. It's simply fun. It's a satisfaction in creating it from scratch and leftover junk and see that it works out in a tent. Thanks again!

Awesome little stove! I am inspired to make myself one. Good job.
