Bob,

Thanks! No plans to market the stoves. I designed the current Kifaru stoves and built them for 7 years but am now devoting more time to writing. Building the stoves didn't allow much free time.

I am bettin' 66 goat. 64 & 65 were the short boxy ones.

NICE STOVE!!

This may help identify the car, but I was showing off my new Dodge. Geez where is every-one's appreciation.

I guess the same place mine is, with the '65 GTO, as I've owned it now for 38 years.

Well I lost that one. Nice goat!

Ed, I'm admittedly not much of a metalwork guy, more a woodwork guy. Can you tell me, was that a carbide grit hole saw rather than a bi-metal toothed saw?

I've partly put together two so far. One for a friend, one for my son. These things are REALLY turning out nice. I wanted to mention, not anything to write home about, but I discovered that even though the rivets are not as flush, the stove legs are much stiffer to downward weight when the flange nuts are riveted circumferentially rather than longitudinally, at least for the canisters I'm working with.

Dave,

I used a bi-metal toothed saw. A cordless drill is what I have found to work best with the hole saws. Just be carefull when the saw goes through!

You should have better stiffness with the t-nuts riveted circumfrentially. I went with longitudinally to obtain a more flus fit with the option of adding two rivets per t-nut, although that might add a half an ounce to the stove weight

I just started on my latest project: Light hiker boots with removable liners so they can be dried each night.

Thanks Ed. I was having a heck of a time with the drill press and the bi-metal saw. Ended up just going really slow.

Boots sound awesome!

Do you have any pictures of how the stove pipe fits into the hole. I'm trying to make my own stove and that is the one thing that is throwing me off about it.

Thanks,

Chris

These picture of the Ti-Goat damper/screen set up shoud show you. The damper rod keeps the pipe from going into the stove.

Hi Ed - very nice looking set-up. Thanks for posting up on this.
I am making a cylinder stove now and just wondering are your wire retaining rings a size the Kifaru or Tigoat uses.
I am putting mine in a paratipi.
Thanks again!

Bitt.where did you find a good cooking pot fof this pupose?I'm on the Kitsap penn. and the clossest I could ged was a similar size but it had an extre thick bottom and was pretty heavy. Tim

I went looking yesterday at Target - but those storage cylinders looked too small and going thru the isle I found a - get this - a toilet brush holder - in brushed stainless steel. 4" x 10" and has the perfect end on it (once the brush was unscrewed) to serve as the door. The only draw back is - while it says stainless and looks like stainless.... the magnet say otherwise. The cylinder is easy enough to play with - I can see having a couple different sizes anyway.
That Ti - foil from the Goat folks is where the expense lies.
Fun project to be around messing with.
I am looking for quick and easy set-up and this should do that over my K-stove.

Bitt,

My current pipe is a Ti-Goat, 2 3/8"

If you have a Kifaru stove/pipe, I'd just saw a 3" hole in you clyinder and use it.

Thanks Ed - my current stove is a medium with my 8 man. So this paratipi project is a new one. And I can see going with the Ti chimney in a 4' length for this one. 3#'s and change for my lite weight tipi option sounds pretty good.

Not all SS is non-magnetic.

I thought the higher the quality - the less magnetic it is??
I should still get my nickles worth out it regardless.

Ed,unless I missed something you never posted pictures of yor stove in the GiLite shelter.Also on a side note,have you ever tried using a hammock instead of a ground shelter?I'm thinking mostly of a Clark N. American because it's rated as a 4 season shelter?Thanks Tim

Tim,

I haven't posted photos of the SH 2 yet, but will.

As fas as a hammock goes, I have a Hennesey and like it for summer trips, but come fall, I'd rather be on the ground.

Thanks Ed.

I owe you a bottle of wine or something.

Dave

Huskyrunner,where did you get or how did you make the stove pipe coller/damper?How big is the big stove and what do'es it weigh?
