That looks pretty cool!
You never know, you might have a market for ice shack stoves?

Good luck!

Looks nice i thought about putting a stove in my shanty.

Rassy · « **Reply #5 on:** Sep 18, 2011, 08:14 AM »

that looks a heck of a lot more furable then those pieces of tin sold at the hardware stores..

today i trimmed out the door (its hard putting a flat door on a round surface) and also cut out the ash pan door not sure how in going to finish that off so it looks good? oh and still brainstorming on how to get a 3in pipe out the back with a 90 degree elbo without losing room in the shanty?

If you fabricated a flat Rectangle elbow instead of a round elbow and converted it back to round above the top of the stove , you might save 2 or 3 inches They sell square to round adapters for installing wood stoves in fireplaces, the rectangle shape fits thru the damper plate hole better. just my.02

does it HAVE to come out the back? might be a silly ? but i have never made a wood stove or fished in a shanty with one for that matter,but,you would think it would serve the same purpose coming out the side as it would coming out the back.. then you could use some elbow pieces to make it inch its way more towards the back once its made its way back to the top of the tank.i dunno,maybe thats too much bending etc, but once the pipe gets hot it should pull the smoke up just the same.

I love the Brake Rotor Hotplate, that is true NH Redneck Technology at it's Finest, you can't buy a wood stove with that kind of style !!

i like to put a lil personality in everything i make. lol plus if its free its for me!

Lookin good fishingwithkids. Plus I like your motto. "If it's free it's for me". Hahaha!! It's worked for me too.

a little more work done on the stove. i got a 6ft piece of 3in exhaust pipe for tho stovepipe. fabricated the smoke exit and doors the main door and ash pan door. all with homemade hinge's. i couldn't find any that would stand up to the welder.

surflizard · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 05:47 AM »

Nice Fabrication right there buddy, thats a sharp lookin unit !

fishingwithkids · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 05:50 AM »

i tried to do a burn this week so i could burn the paint off the main tank but... i dont know what they painted this tank with it is like 4 coats of hell. gues i will have to use the body grinder on this baby.

surflizard · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 06:01 AM »

I believe it, I think they use a 2 part epoxy to coat them with so they resist chipping and peeling ! I'm thinking a fan and respirator are definately a good idea ! Good luck !

more work i put in an air intake

i lit her up

surflizard · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 10:55 AM »

Nice job FWK, It looks like it draws a strong draft too !

does the air intake, shut her down if you need to ?

fishingwithkids · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 11:07 AM »

Thanks Surf ! yes it does draw nice. i was looking for leaks so i blocked the stovepipe found only a couple. i will go back and put another bead of weld this week and then resand and paint.

surflizard · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 11:11 AM »

Pretty clever design too, a lot of the small thin stoves that you find in shanties tend to warp and burn out quickly, I don't see that happening to your unit !

Any guess on finished weight ?

fishingwithkids · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 11:13 AM »

its aprox 40lbs with the stovepipe

fishingwithkids · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 11:15 AM »

i just saw a nuway stove on craigslist today for 80 bucks. i have like 15 into mine and thats all cutoff wheels.

surflizard · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 11:32 AM »

You can't beat that with a stick my friend, way to go !

fishingwithkids · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 04:40 PM »

the last piece of wood went in at 11:20 and all vents got shut down. at 5:00 still had hot ash in the stove and it was hot to the touch. pretty proud of this one.

surflizard · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 25, 2011, 05:32 PM »

That will get the job done !

snowman6902 · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 26, 2011, 08:18 AM »

Great job and awesome design

Is that a brake rotor on top?

fishingwithkids · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 01, 2011, 05:08 AM »

yes that is a brake rotor on top. i did a trial burn last sunday, it it took 15 min to perk a pot of coffee. i was a lil concerned about the rotor not allowing the the top to get hot enough but the temp hovered around 450 - 500 degrees.

surflizard · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 01, 2011, 05:12 AM »

Hey FWK
are you going to be in the Winni area this season ? if you are, I'd like to swing by and see that stove in action ?
