Looks great, and I bet you could heat a shed or a big old wall tent with it.

Tell you what, make another out of titanium and make it back packable and I'll buy it from you, I'd rather give my hard earned $ to another trad person.

Nice job!

Nice job!

Now you order a sheet of .005" SS shim stock from McMaster Carr for the roll up stove pipe [with SS cable ties] and it all fits inside the stove

I've spent some cold winter nights in a wall tent, and a little stove like that made all the difference. Nice work!!

Looks like a good little stove. If you could fit a baffle in the stove it would be way more effecient and you might be able to sleep a wee bit longer befoer leaning over to add more firewood.

I know you all already know this, but please, please be careful using galvanised steel for building a stove like this.
If you're going to do it, please be sure to burn all the zinc from the steel before you use it in a small tent.
When galvanised steel (either hot-dip OR electroplated) gets hot enough, the zinc will burn off & release some VERY toxic vapors.

Galvanosis is no laughing matter (Ask me how I know) & in a closed environment halfway up a mountain, it can kill you.

Other than that bit of seriousness.......Big thumbs up! Awesome little stove  :D
