Up here a stove is considered air tight if you can damper it down to the point that the fire almost goes out.

  Cool project Clint.  You got my wheels spinning now.  I have got a couple of those tanks laying around at the barn and I could use a little wood stove.  I always enjoy your brainstorming, buildalongs, and inventive stuff.  I intend to make time for more projects like that in the future.  Keep us posted on the stove.  It's looking great so far.

DC,  we are going to get it sealed up as good as we can. 

Howard, what is that old saying; necessity is the mother of invention  :)   Cold winters, high electric bills, and expensive wood stoves caused this project. 


I got the band saw out and did a lot of cutting this afternoon.  I cut all the scraps down into small pieces to save as fire wood.  I'm going to try this size of wood pieces in it.  I plan on keeping the fires small at first to see how it does.  I'm thinking it won't take much to keep my small shop warm.  Maybe I'll be able to work in shorts and a sleeveless shirt this winter  ;D

We got a little more done on it today.  We decided to replace the top with a thicker piece of steel.  Plus it will give me a flat surface on top for a pan of water.  We also welded the chimney pipe to it.

Good/useful looking top.  You're gettin' there!

I think I'll be doing more steam bends now that I have a heat source in the work shop

Those smooth round surfaces will be great for straightening hill cane.

Make that top nice and smooth and start whipping out pancakes. Then you could call your shop Clint's Flapjack Shack.
