Building a DIY wood stove from a helium/propane tank. No welding! Great for a log cabin or tiny home

Hi! I made a wood stove for the log cabin I'm building in the woods. It's made out of a helium tank which is just a little smaller than a regular BBQ propane tank.
This is my first time working with metal and I had a lot of fun with this project! I don't have the tools or experience to weld, so the whole thing had to be done with nuts and bolts! The trickiest spot was the chimney, the hole had to be very snug all around to avoid welding! I'm using 2.5" car exhaust pipes for the chimney.
After a first test fire, it was clear it wasn't getting enough airflow. I added a second adjustable vent on the other side and a row of permanently open holes at the front.
Check out the episode linked at the end where I install it in my cabin in the woods, and if you're interested how that's going click subscribe!
Thanks for watching, take care!

Just built one myself using a 19kg propane tank absolutely no welding involved and I can remove and refit the flue. Made it to use in my garden or on camping trips

Thanks very much! I have no metalwork experience, but figured as long as I could stick to nuts and bolts instead of welding it would work out. Very approachable project for beginners like me!

Suggest getting a 120 mm hand held grinder rather than your small grinder. You’ll save money on using the small curing wheels.

Yeah, you're right, I should look into picking up an angle grinder. And I should probably learn welding...!

It's a pretty small unit and not a very hot fire, but I did keep it in mind the first few times firing it up. I don't smell anything when the door's closed and I smell a lovely woodfire when it's open! Thanks, take care!

How much for you to make me one ?

That’s clever! I’ve got 2 questions if that’s ok? 1. What size is the helium tank? 2. Is it safe to work on the tank, by just releasing the helium as you did? I know propane tanks need all kinds of extra precautions, eg flushing with water.

Hi, thanks for watching! It's just a little smaller than a standard bbq propane tank. Helium doesn't burn or explode like propane. Much safer to handle!

I was wandering the same thing today! That’s why I googled how to do this. I was scared to just cut into it! Lol thank you
