Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Packable wood stove.

I'll be darned. I just checked again and got the same "moved or deleted" message. I wonder what I've done to piss off Photobucket.

I get the same "Moved or deleted" message
The ones here still show up

They must still be in your computer or memory cache. I went to photobucket in the album AllenMelanie there are only 4 photos and those reference a backpack.

hmm, I sure don't know? I thought once I put them up they were there for good. When I click on the thread they all show up. I will put them up again it's no problem.

Vibe, how did you get the info from my photobucket account? I sure am a newbie at this pic thing. I better be careful what pic's I put in the PB account:) --Allen--

Chapter 2. I bet I am making some dialup enemy's:)

Well... If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.



Such a nicely done photo essay by TX that construction was easy. Thing went together in less than 2 hours.

Waiting on stove pipe (Does Ti-Goat generally answer their emails?) and I'll need to add a draft hole.

Man North, you do EXC. work. Yes TiG does answer their e-mails. They get busy sometimes.

Awesome North,

Any chance of you posting some more pictures (close ups, stove broken down, etc). Thanks

P.S. I may run up to Ti Goat next week and buy a stovepipe (I live about 15 minutes away). If you have no response, let me know and perhaps I could pick it up and ship it to you.

The crappy photography hides all the flaws.


Miner if I don't get an answer soon I'll contact you.... small companies often get into trouble with communication!

I think everyone needs to get a 3-inch pipe. I don't really like the smaller pipes. I was looking to fool around and make a stove using a standard stove pipe body and end caps. God knows I don't need another stove. But just can walk away from messing around with them.

North61,

That is too cool. You seem to be into the stoves and building this thing out of sheet metal was pretty much a walk in the park for you. Please let me know if you want to off load that little gem and make improvements/upgrades on your next try. I would brag about your prototype of a prototype and give you two (Tx and yourself)credit and kudos.

Marlin...we have a shear and brake at the school where I work. This saves a lot of time. I made a model in bristol board and then laid it on the sheet metal as a time saver. Easier to make this stove than to make a solid one! If I find a source of stainless sheet cheap I'll send you this galvanized model.

I used light gauge galvanized stove pipe as my material. Cut off the crimps and rolled it out of round to get flat stock. Cost 6.00 and 5.00 for 5/16 threaded rod and nuts and 2.00 for the hinges. Total Cost 13.00 at NWT prices.

Have four feet of Ti-Goat roll up titanium pipe ordered. Have figured out a way to rig up a stove jack to the zippered door of my Outdoor Research Night Haven which is my tarp tent solo of choice. It gives excellent bug protection and good ventalation.

So when the pipe arrives I'll do 2 hours worth of good outdoor burns to burn off the galvanized coating and I'll be all set!

That's cool North61. It's a cool stove. Nice work.

North61, have you gotten your pipe yet? Lookin forward to seeing it in action.

Still waiting..I have 3 feet of Titanium in the post for use in the OR Nighthaven and 8 Feet of stainless for whatever Tipi shelter I make or buy.

Can't wait!

The Home Depot by me sells 8 inch by 12 inch galvanized shingles. I've purchased a few and made the equivalent of at least 2 stoves (I've never worked with sheet metal and have no tools (i.e. a brake) so there is a bit of a learning curve). I have not "burned" one yet as I am a little concerned about the zinc in the galvanized coating, but I did run up to Ti Goat and get a stove pipe the other day.

So my question is: Is stainless steel just stainless steel?

I've called 2 places locally. One told me they were bidding a job and would have a small piece of 26 guage stainless sheet metal left over (2' by 3') that they'd sell me for $120. The other place said that the smallest piece they had was 4' by 10' and I could get it for $150, again 26 guage. No brainer there which is the better deal but I don't need a 4' by 10' piece.

Then I found this site on line:

http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchan...howunits=inches&id=233&top_cat=1

The "304 Annealed" seems very reasonable but again, is stainless steel just stainless steel?

Stainless steel varies just like regular steel. It all depends on the alloying and the post treating. 300 series SS such as 302, 304, etc have the highest stain resistance where as the 400 series is tougher and harder - this is an extreme simplification of the properties.

304 stainless should make a good stove. It is realively soft and ductile(easy to form, not brittle).

Miner, that site even offers custom cuts (at considerable mark up) so you could order all the pieces pre-cut and ready to go if you just had a pattern...

There's a wealth of all kind's of knowledge on this BP site:). Thanks--Allen--
