I personally think the legs are rather light weight , they're not a solid piece ;)Quote:

Edit : changed the wording ..
hi warren , I wouldn't worry too much about that gap ;) infact be good to have it so I can close the front hatch for a slowwww combustion. :DQuote:

Re: Camping Stove, I'll do some vids of it when it's running and stick a coke bottle filled with "magic gas" and see how quickly it'll explode :p:p:D:eek:
Final Part
Made another trip down to the metal recylcers again :angel: to look around for
a piece of light gauge copper pipe and a 90 deg bend which I found. when I
got back home I marked out and cut a hole on the back of the stove with a
jigsaw and cleaned it up , the 90 deg bend fits in their quite nicely.

I'll cut out a circular steel mesh and use it as a sarificial
floor for the inside and then fire it up and give it a test run.
I threw some firewood inside tonight and lit her up....to
be entirely honest I'm a bit disappointed...:(:(
it doesn't give out enough heat.........:twisted::twisted::p

Just to prove these vessels don't blow up when cut, I made this in 45mins yesterday .
Knocked the valve out, filled with H2O, drilled a hole, Jig sawed the door out, then used the oxy on the rest:twisted:
A few bits of scrap, some bird poop weld and jobs done.:)
Went Camping last night and worked beautifully. As a heater and a stove. Very economical on fire wood too.
I was quite surprised how many people came over to see what it was.:confused: They all now want one:angel:

Recons I should make a camp oven out of the lower half of another 9kg bottle to go with the stove.
I'll sneak over late tonight and pinch it pack.:angel:
you done well Tony , I haven't been online for a while :( but I reckon that Pig , I mean Camping heater / stove would sell on Evilbay :twisted: the bird poo welds are part of the asthetic feature of the heater , it gives it that Bushie look :D
I've got a few more gas bottle here if you wana do some more.:D
Just a little safety hint:
Even with the vavle open the bottle can still hold gas. LPG is heavier than air so some can sit in the bottom of the cylinder.
To be sure it is empty store the cylinder upside down with the valve open and the gas will drain out. It also stops condensation building up and rusting out the bottom, while you are waiting to make something out of it.
By the way, GREAT JOB to both of you. I have a few old cylinders that I am gonna make into a shed heater before next winter.
Thanks for the idea
