Now THAT is how a DIY video should be done. No horrible background music, all video fast forwarded, with succinct voice-over instructions and explanations--and no extraneous, "I-love-to-hear-myself-talk," chatter. Perfect. Bravo--and don't change your instructional style one bit.

This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list kzfaq.infoUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

brings back old school youtube DIY vibes great video

This is the greatest diy I don't even got words This cat should be in Hollywood the way he cuts out the bs and hits the heart

Beautiful! I loved how you walk us through the building process - not just how-to but why.

Good job! Really creative and functional. You inspired a 50 year old to try something new. Guys like you create businesses and change the world, keep it up!

Nice to see a young men getting out and doing these type projects instead of sitting on a video game!!! Good job young man!!!👍👍

Pretty Brilliant! Love the idea of using what you have not buying all new. You thought of everything and planned it out beautifully.

The only thing I would add is a flat place for a coffee pot

I literally applaud hard when I saw he used the old bed frame, I used an old bed frame to do part of a front bumper. Immediately I subscribed of course :)

Wow, very informative! My wood stove turned out great. Thanks for the help!

Different style compared to the one I made, I really like how you made the door with the angle iron, its strong, seals nicely, and most important on these is its not at all "finicky". On builds like these its important to build things in a old military concept where the words "simple" and "functional" are key, and you have achieved this nicely with your build.

Have been collecting old LPG bottles from a filling station, they just give them to me. Time to go into production. I will be adding a coil, and making hot water heaters as well. Your vid was my reminder, thinking about it isn't doing it. Thanks for the encouragement to get my ass in gear. Great little vid.

Great winning attitude. Thank you for taking us through your awesome walk through. Cool, no HOT!

Lovely work! Brings back my metal shop days from Junior High School, though that was many years ago and my metalworking schools are quite "rusty."

I have watched a few of these and love how you made yours. I will be looking at building mine a lot like yours and doing a few things that I would like to see on mine. Excellent job, great voice over explaining the detail enough to understand and not making it a 30 min video. 5 stars all around.

Your work is *very* well done. I'm very impressed with the quality of you cuts & welds - kudos!

I built mine upside down of yours, utilizing the threaded hole to add a pipe thru the floor. it not only supports the stove, but is the air intake. I then added a piece of 1/4" all thread with washers on the end as a air control valve. connected a wire coat hanger to the end of all thread at bottom, up thru the floor so i can adjust and also shake to let ash go out. Nice job on yours.

That's one of the best recycling jobs of a 20 gallon propane tank, I have ever saw. I've been running ideas around in my head for a wood stove in my she-shed. Thanks for sharing your build with us, turned out great!

Found this so easy and comprehensive, motivated me to build my own

Great video, really enjoyed it! I enjoy making stuff with what I have on hand, kudos on using the bed frame, and I like your design on the air baffle.

Very nicely designed and built. I like it. You could wind some heavy gauge wire for the two handles and cut the protruding metal rods shorter and install the the spring like wire over the rods. That way they would never get hot and look great as well. But nice project. Thumbs Up!

Awesome video, and build. No annoying music, very thorough. I'll be trying one of these soon. Thanks for the great idea

I really like how this is made and the materials you used. Keep it simple, and down to earth. Thanks man.

Very nicely done ! I enjoy repurposing materials and this is great to see.

Very nicely done, sir. You are creative and your fabrication skills are impressive.

I am completely blown away. Nicely done!

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Excellent use of on hand materials. Simple but effective. Very well done.

Very nice work, Rafael. Very nice and creative. I see dollar signs with that creation!!!

Absolutly beautiful!!!! I learned a few tips from this video and I’ve made over a dozen different wood stoves from various sized propane tanks. I’ve even made larger stoves by welding some old propane tanks together. A few tips if I may add…. Adding an air intake lower on your next stove, produces a better burn and heat control. That way the air intake flow is lower near the base of the stove, forcing air up through the fire and getting a more complete burn, as well as an easier burn. Number two: the exhaust I believe is a little too big as it allows too much heat to escape. The exhaust should be no larger than 1.25 X’s the size of the air intake. This also allows a hotter flame to produce more heat if needed. As for sanding or grinding off any residual paint, that is unnecessary and only adds extra work. Just light it before painting it black and all the paint will burn off. Once the stove is cool, lightly sand with a wire brush and then you can paint it with black high-temperature paint. However in due time, even that paint will burn off and if left untreated, the entire stove will rust. However that’s OK because the rust makes it look cool and the stove will continue to last for years and years as long as you keep it covered when not in use. Again excellent stove you made and I like some of your ideas and techniques. Im am going to use your cut out techniques, like the roll of duct tape to measure a hole, but agin I’d make my exhaust hole smaller. Also bro, you really need a plasma AND an oxy-fuel cutting torch. It makes life so much easier.

Bought new one exchanged from old one Skipped most of your vedio n blew up my barn while using my torch rig luckily I still have 1 eye 1 arm n didn't burnt my barn to bad😁

Genius, innovation, and great presentation skills to boot. Outstanding and thanks!

Nice stove, remember to install the chimney sections just like a rain downspout, so if you have any liquid creosote condense inside, it will drip into the stove rather than leak out the stove pipe.

Well done sir. I liked the speed of the video too.

Impressive! Great fabrication and critical thinking skills. Thanks for sharing.

Love it!!! I would weld some large washers to the bottom rebar for looking a nice foot. You get the prize! Fantastic job.

Adding a heat exchange to the chimney pipe would greatly increase the heating ability. To build your own, weld between 11 and 14 conduit pipe into a 10" box horizontally and a 6" stove pipe adapter vertically,-top and bottom- "Note all welds on this part must seal." Weld a Mounting bracket for a small fan at one end of the conduits.

Looks like a really nice design. It's a good size for a small cabin or wall tent. I'm wondering if the fire would burn hotter if the air intake was mounted lower, where the base of the fire is. Another feature you may consider is a circular grate fitted to sit just below the level of the door opening. It would be made of heavy duty rod to support the wood. It would allow air to flow underneath and provide a level area on which to build the fire.

I built one of these for a bread truck Rv that I built, mine was similar but different, my air intake was the same concept but I mounted it lower and used black pipe and a 2” ball valve to control air. A baffle goes a very long way to ensure that more heat and flame stays in the stove vs in the stove pipe. You’ll find that the fire doesn’t burn super efficiently unless you install a grate so fresh air can access the underside of the fire. Also I used 3 or4 inch chimney pipe so I could install a 3/4 thick piece of steel as a cook top! Great stove kept me warm in the winter for several years. Coal burned extremely well in my rig

Tis I again. Apologies for my negative input last time. Must've been in a grumpy mood. but due to your reply Ive watched your video again, twice!! The way you've constructed your door frame is so much easier than the way Im attempting. Im constructing my door frame out of wood initially as its easier to correct mistakes in preparation for using steel. Im hoping to include a glass insert to the door as well. Thanks for the info.

Well I guess I need to learn to weld. Thank you what a great idea and so well presented, awesome!

VERY innovative - nice “field expedient” build. Thank you!!!

When I saw the bed frame I knew that you, like me, were a man of culture

What a cool DIY! Only thing I would change would be the ash hole. No pun intended lol. I would change to something you can slide open. Only because over time, that thread is going to oxidize. It’s going to be a pain screwing and unscrewing in.

Nicely done. To beef up this stove furthermore just weld a few bars inside to act as a crate. It’ll help separate ash from logs during mid-burn and be a lot easier to clear away ash too. Great idea

Good clean product. This shows what a few cups of coffee can do to improve productivity.

Very creative. Will be making one soon Thanks for posting.👍

Absolutely brilliant. Good work, thanks!

If it helps anyone get some ideas, I always use large diameter iron pipe for chimneys on homemade stoves. When I was in high school, we moved into a house that was built in 1973 and we were going to renovate. The main heat source was a woodstove and the conventional thin wall chimney pipe rotted through and leaked a few weeks after moving in, we woke up to this at like 2 am. Ever since then I try to do a DIY version with well pipe of the same diameter, it will literally last as long as the stove and it is much more forgiving to rough cleaning.

Awesome job I've been wanting to make one out of a 200# cylinder that I had given to me thanks for the idea💡

This is so incredible, amazing job! You should be proud of your skill and imagination!

What a GREAT JOB! you will certainly go far with your crafty Ness. It's sure is lacking with most people these days... Job well done

Dam boi this is Awsome !! Looks so bad ass , I’m glad this popped up and I watched it

Tip: put that blade guard back on. Eye protection has holes in it for ventilation, and take it from someone who's been there, hot metal finds those holes. You only get one set of eyes. Not to mention the chance of hitting other body parts with the top of the blade.

Very nice. I love using old stuff and making new stuff. Rock on.

That is really cool. I could use one of those in my cabin. Subbed

I love this little stove--You have an unique skill that shines and with the way our economy is going right now your skill may be need more than you know! Keep up the good work!!!

I used a 6 gallon water heater out of a camper , and added a pipe so outside air was to the fire box , no use letting your inside heated air go up the smoke stack . Three long J hooks were used for the legs . Awesome little heater A piece of junk down spout was used to supply the air to the fire box . No welding anywhere because I don't have a welder lol

Great video and great design. I love the creativity in the video and the comment section with improvements that can make for an excellent stove

Outstanding build. That would be perfect for my small hunting cabin. Thanks for the video.

This is awesome, very nice job, I would love one of those! Would you add a small metal grate on the inside to help save the coals when emptying, and to get a little better efficient burn? Really good job here :)

Excellent project design and improv skills. Great video!

This clearly proves that it's not enough to just have the tools. You need vision, innovation, and creativity.

Great job! I watched the whole thing without skipping ahead! I like your design, but a little small. Ever think of using a well pressure tank instead of propane tank?

That is beautiful! So artistic abd funcrional! Plus very cool that you used available materials whi h is essentially recycling! Or in this case upcycling! I wish I had your skills! God bless you and everyone!🤗🕊🔥💖✝️💕❣

Lovely little stove. Thanks for sharing.

That was excellent I like the speedup and I still can figure out what you did…Bravo !

Great job and thanks for sharing. Love the tabs you cut and bend to make things fit. Only change I would recommend is making the ash drop larger/different design. Maybe a grate you pull thru a slot. Dem threads gonna be a beeotch after getting hot a few times.

I have much respect for fellow craftsmen and the art of a craftsmanship. I love seeing young men with a skill set that they work on perfecting. Let's face it, today's younger generations could use more mature and manly younger men.

Rafael ……. Bravo! An excellent DYI video!

Great idea! Well made!!

Still waiting for that wood stove installation video. 😀

I really like this. Love makin useful stuff outta scavenged or on-hand materials. Keep rockin it, kid! d:^)

I made one a couple years ago, and it does very well in my 20x30 shop. I got away with 3-inch flue pipe, but I do get a smidge of backdraft smoke before it develops a draft. You took more care making yours, so it is quite nice. Plans I would tend to follow if making another one.

Man, this is really cool. You really know how to fabricate!

Very nice build - I have found with my shop stoves that the stove pipe needs to be replaced every few years so its a good idea to have the first section nice heavy steel that the pipe can slide down into. If the bottow section of pipe is not welded it will be easy to replace. Keep making these videos - you're doing a good job.

Perfect for an ice fish hut or a blind .. comfort

Nice job! That’s a great little stove and looks really cool. There are two little things that will make it work way more efficiently and are very simple… a grill of some sort to keep the wood from laying on the bottom and a damper to control the air flow in the chimney… they will both make a huge difference in the amount of heat and the performance of the stove using way less wood. Nicely done BTW and looks great!

You sound pretty young, I'm really impressed of your product if only 30 percent of young kid's today had your will this definitely would be a better world.

❤️ love this! Now, when do I ask ya to make me one? And how much do ya charge to ship to VA? Great JOB really but LOVE the creativity of this in a whole. Would much rather buy one from you than out of a store.

that is awesome

Awesome Video, and I like the way you stayed on a budget. Very good, you should be proud of this. You did an excellent job.

Good work and thanks for taking the time to show us

Hey this guy is good that's a very smart idea good worker he gets a lot of credit just think he should go in to business I would buy one all this takes time and effort and hard work good job I don't know where he is but I would buy one from him bless his heart

I tried this. I cut into the tank, but forgot to empty the propane. Things didn’t go well got me that day.

I enjoyed watching you create this wood stove. Fantastic.

Great Work, thank you for posting.....I really enjoyed watching

You might want to add a grate so the fire can breath around the fule, i think it also helps to stop the bottom of the stove burning out.

Be sure to put a damper in the stove pipe. Otherwise all of your heat will go up the pipe and burn the wood to fast.

Very resourceful and beautiful. Love it

Half the angle iron on my buddies farm is old bedframes when it comes to free stuff. Can't get enough of it actually.

The only issue I see is that you cant unscrew your ash dump without tipping over your stove... Remedy= taller legs: All in all. NICE JOB!

When I saw how you doing it I started to laugh since I'm building a whole grill with metal from bed frame and using a truck gas tank and little only money im wasting cuz I didn't have are cutting wheels and paint but right on man

That's a nice stove. I like the big door and self-made hinge. On mine, I used the curved plate cutout for the door, as the door. By adding flatstock around the plate perimiter. And 4" water heater exhaust pipe worked for the stove pipe. Those propane tanks make good little stoves. Thanks for showing. 2: 32, Hold It! Is that a Weld Pac 100 ? That's what I have. Fantastic 120 VAC welders, and reliable.

good job can't wait to make my own thank for the idea.

Very cool. 👍👍

I've built many of these, just have a suggestion for you specially since you're using 6" pipe, weld a flame deflection plate inside to keep flames from going up the pipe this will also hold more heat in the stove.

Awesome build!!! Thanks for the upload!!! 💯 💯 💯 👍

Very ingenious!!!! Good job. That is a really nice stove. Thanks for the video

I love the simple design. I suggest adding a carrying handle, to make it more portable
