Nice stove it should hold the heat very well.
You can find the sporing handles around but have to order them I bet.

Great job on that!

Question though... Why is the smoke pipe as long as it is?

I'm sure there's a reason, I just need it explained...

Get through the top of the trailer with clearance I assume.

Nice looking stove BTW

Awesome project!

I took the tank from an old hot water heater. Cut maybe 60% of it off to use as a stove and welded a front wall/door/vent on to it. Made 4 legs that screw into nuts welded to the belly. A 6 inch pipe with damper that mates up with the flue pipe. Don't have any pictures of the stove itself but here is one of it inside my tent. Jam it full when we go to bed and there is still orange coals in the AM.

The steel shop had a scrap 12" long piece and I said, "Oh, I only need about half that, you might as well cut it".

Need to put up a heat shield otherwise done. Oh and bricks inside if I have time. I put feet on it in case I ever want to screw it down. Figured the shelf would be good to throw gloves, tools, and maybe shoes on.

You are a Craftsman

A piece of tin on 2 inch spacers against the wall and you will be set.

I got a 3'x3' piece of tin and some small tubing for spacing it out from the wall, I was thinking 3" from the wall. Great minds think alike my friend!

Nice job.

Might want to crack a window so you don't asphyxiate yourselves. Just to be on the safe side.

Good luck with your hunting!

No windows yet, but I'm rigging up a small chain on the side door (which closes with resistance, as if spring loaded) that will allow me to leave it cracked for air. I also have an air vent up top and a couple strategic "leaks" at the back doors for cross ventilation. Look forward to getting windows though and yes, thank you for the advice! If I don't report back you'll know it didn't work.

Congrats, looks like a winner.

I’d make it shorter and wider. It’ll probably work Uber though.

I’d go 6” from the wall. Measure twice. Cut once.
