There is a book called "Wood Stoves How to Make and Use Them" By Ole Wik Alaska Northwest Publishing Co. 1977. Real down to earth practical stuff if you can find a copy. There is a stove in the book made out of a 6 gal boat gas can that seems a good size for a sportsman. There is a factory made stove called a boxwood stove I think. Just a little tin stove but thay seem to last, and last time I bought one was only about $25. But I'm probably showing my age by quoting ancient prices.
I wouldn't ever try to weld, cut or make a spark in any thing that has ever been a gas container. Gasoline can be held for years in any rust and still produce possibly explosive vapors.
I am wanting to build a wood stove for the shanty I am vuilding right now- Do you think that a beer keg would work? Or would it be to light of metal?
That is a good reminder Jack. Never cut or weld any containers that held fuel unless they have been properly steam cleaned. And if you are welding on a container, wether it once held fuel or not, make sure it is vented before you weld, otherwise the contained air expands from being heated and KABBLLOOOYYY, and you're just a grease stain on the wall.
fill it with water. I have welded on many types of fuel tanks and lines.
