Roy, nice looking project. If I may, definitely follow Don’s advice about the draft channel on the door. It will help keep the door flat. Otherwise it’s going to warp on you. BTDT. Maybe even a small angle run around the perimeter of the door to give it more resistance to warping. Please post pics of the stove in action when you’re done.

I did take use Don's advice and have welded a channel to the back of the door for draft. The hole is cut in the door, flap installed over it with a keeper, and a channel around the inside perimeter for the door seal. Was working on hinges when I quit last night. Going hunting this morning but I'll get some photos when I can.

Anyone know where I can get those springy deally boppers for the handles so I don't burn myself opening the door and draft? Haven't found them locally.

A stiff-wire loop drilled thru the handle beats the hell outta springy deallies, for staying cool..... you can kinda see it.

As someone else mentioned, heat transfer would seem to be the only issue to me, but if it works alright that's all that matters.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Most of my tools have been in storage for a couple years so it feels good to build the stove. Always learn a lot when you work with your hands.

A good stove isn't as easy to build as it would seem.

I can get fuel anywhere I hunt at no cost. And the heat is dry for drying out wet clothes after hunting the Oregon late seasons we have here. Nothing like wood stove heat.

I guess I could have run the pipe down inside a couple inches and accomplished about the same thing. Seems like that would change the draft characteristics and could potentially lead to it smoking when you open the door. I have a chimney damper should accomplish about the same thing.

U still can.... run it down inside a bit, add a piece of flat plate just inside the door a 1.5 below the c pipe stub looks like u did great on the incomming draft..grab it 2/3rds up then let her fly on the bottom. Get u a grate to keep a decent fire once the ash is pileling ....
