Decided I needed to build a camp stove. Didn't want a lightweight sheepherder stove, was looking for something more permanent. All 1/4" material except the legs. I'm about 4 hours into it. 10x10 tube x 16" deep main box. Removable legs. Next I need to design the hinges, latch, draft, install the door seal. Kind of a fun project that should last a lifetime.

Neat little project!
Maybe run some angle iron inside to create a little air space?

it does look like a fun project.
any concern that the extra metal thickness might inhibit heat transfer a bit? might consider welding on some "fins" to help radiate heat.
sure looks like it'll last a while, though!

Maybe run some angle iron inside to create a little air space? Yeah, I could. It's going in a 5x10 x 6 1/2 foot high trailer. Pretty small space won't need much of a fire to heat it.

sure looks like it'll last a while, though! It'll take a while to heat up, and it will hold heat for a while too. Probably just going to run me out of the trailer all the time. LOL.

Nice work. Man, that stove is heavy duty. Might want to reinforce the trailer floor.

That thing must be HEAVY!
How much does it weigh?

How much does it weigh? I'm going to have to go through with the 3.4 swap on the Toyota or drive the Dodge. I'm guessing it weighs 100.

That will work well. I've used a couple cargo trailers, with wood stoves in them! Last trip was coyote hunting in Eastern Oregon desert, February this year! Stove would run you out, it would get so hot! We added outside combustion air, with a rectangular tube! The trailer belongs to a friend! He didn't want to run out of oxygen!

I hope to do the Campfire cougar hunt again in the Oregon desert this winter. Last year it was around zero and I slept in the truck. Not happening again if I can help it!

Weight??? Should work well, but my 20+ season old light weight folding sheepherder unit is kicking out heat within 5 minutes of tossing the match in. Will take a bit longer to heat that much metal in the early AM's. Regardless of design, I find chimney dampers are the cat's meow for controlling burn rate.

I've been looking for a 4" chimney damper locally but no luck yet.
My hope for this stove is two fold. First, I want it to throw heat as long as possible, so lightweight metal that warps and doesn't have a well sealed door is out. All night burn baby! Second, see #1.

As to your intake... Put your intake at the top of the door, with a channel to the bottom of the door on the inside ala Sotz. Never a spark when the wood pops. AND preheats combustion air and causes just enuff turbulence for an efficient burn. Pipe damper a must.... kinda like this, if you can see it...
