I appreciate that!

It's difficult to establish the correct vent diameter without knowing how many BTUs the stove will produce. I used a 4''' vent with a 14' total vent height. This works perfect for this stove. Even when lighting there is very little smoke in the shop. Thanks for the great comment!

Thank you very much.

Shoulda made a video!

thanks!

Glad it helped

Thank you.

Thanks man!

Thanks! the problem with a propane tank for a sauna stove is no flat surfaces for the rock box, but a little creativity goes a long way. Good luck.

@@workingwithjoe841 I was thinking the same thing. I was going to weld some length on the sides, across the top and in front of the stove pipe some 4-5 inch angle iron or just 1/4 flat stock to make some sort of a rock box area so the rocks sit on top. What are your thoughts? Do you think it would get hot enough for say a 4-8 foot sauna shed? Thanks in advance! Love the build by the way!!

thanks

thanks!

Good morning Vietnam

Thanks and welcome

thanks. The vent is only 4 inch, but the total vent height is 14 feet. anything under 10 feet i would have gone with 5 inch. I think 6 inch is too large for a stove this small. If a vent is oversized, the flue gases travel too slow and cool too much causing creosote and soot build up. good luck with your build

I'ts just 3/8 round bar scrap I had laying around. One thing I forgot to mention about the grate is that the end cross pieces are a little longer than the rest so that it rests on the corners and doesn't wobble. Have fun with your project!

Cool

Good idea

We built an extension away from the tank out of 1/8 inch plate to allow for the hinge support, and to allow for the baffle and draft opening to be somewhat protected from being banged up by wood. We made the top corners diagonal and rounded the bottom to make the opening as large as possible . Then we made a frame for the extension with 3/8 inch angle iron so the gasket would have something to seat against. To round the bottom we used a zip disc to cut lines in one flange of the angle iron 1/4 inch apart, made a gentle bend, and welded up the cuts and ground them smooth. then we made another frame out of 1/2 inch angle iron to fit comfortably over the first frame. Then we cut a plate to fit snugly in it after drilling a center hole and cutting the three triangles for the air draft. We welded the plate only on the inside, then installed our gasket. Standing the stove on the back end we set the door in position on the inner frame with a brick on top to let the gasket set over night, and welded the hinge on with this setup to ensure the door fit squarely. I hope this helps.

Great suggestion! Thanks!

The floor doesn't get hot, but i would be concerned about coals falling out. I strongly suggest making a fireproof floor area. I'm not an expert, but I'm sure its code everywhere.

@@workingwithjoe841 Wasn't thinking about falling hot coals that makes sense thank you.

Sorry for the error, thanks for the comment.

I'd like to know if its 20 or 30 lb tank?

4'' vent with a 14' total vent height. anything less than 10' total vent height I would use 5''. Hope this helps.

@@workingwithjoe841 Thanks for that advice. I was thinking of using 5 inch, but wasn't sure. I'm thinking about using a 2-1/2" piece of 5" sch 40 iron pipe for the flue collar

: )

I think it's real pretty!

@@workingwithjoe841 LOL you took that the wrong way. It was an old saying about DIY jobs. People worried about function over appearance. No insult intended.

Thanks. I was just trying to be funny. I like things to look good, but function definitely comes first.

@@workingwithjoe841 need to find a reasonable way to use something like that to pump some heat into a house without extensive modifications to either the stove or the house. And a way to avoid having a PERMIT to do it. (city dweller here ugggh)
