Sharing my promethean love of campfires and winter camping experiences in Northern Utah. Best Snow on Earth!
Sharing the ongoing modifications made to the Winnerwell Nomad tent stove. Making the stove into a solid multi fuel stove for when the power goes out Texas style in the winter.
To date the stove can burn wood, peat, charcoal, and now Coal! Next will be propane, natural gas, and finally unleaded gasoline.
Also enjoying the free storage of videos on UA-cam.

Very cool. I used to be 6 foot 8 incjes tall, then when my back got compressed i lost 3 inches and now I'm disabled and unable to work anymore so I live on a very fixed income and it takes me forever to save up enough money to buy anything. Damm i really need to get one of these stoves for my bus as i have no heat
@@jamesmason7124 Winnerwell makes smaller stoves. I do like the one I have. However, next time I’ll just buy the single front view nomad. I’ve already busted two of the side glass panels. But the front glass never breaks. I know what you mean. I also was 6’8” until driving trucks. Now I’m 6’7”. If you need a cheaper fuel to burn try bituminous coal which is 140.00 per 2000lbs. You just need to add a deeper belly to the stove for the coal to burn. Coal burns a long time.
@TheFireMadSpencerAlexander thank you for your tip, i need the large size Nomad to heat my bus that i live in full-time
Good luck 😂
Id like to ask how you modified the stove, its hard to find good reference material for doing this
@@lossexe6331 It was an ad-hoc project. But I took a Winnerwell Nomad large double view stove with leg extensions and did the following: Replaced winnerwell grate with a cast iron grate. Amazon bbq grill grates. Cut out the bottom of the stove and riveted on a dogs stainless steel rectangular water bowl. From Amazon ,In between both I have a fiberglass stove gasket. Also from Amazon Cut out a hole for a door and two holes in the dog bowl with angle grinder Take old bottom of stove and make the door with angle grinder. Buy hinges, smoker vents, and a latch from home depot. Then rivet on to the stove again with fiberglass gasket. I bought and cut some Lynn 3000° fire brick to make a coal stay away from the sides. However, I’ve only kept it on the back. Then added a gasket to the nomad’s door and mig welded shut the round plate on top of stove. Then for fun I cut a hole in the bottom of the water bowl and added plumbing pipe from Home Depot that connects to a bbq blower. Next I’m adding a high wind spark arrestor called a vacu stack. For coal the air needs to flow through the coals bottom to top. The dog bowl and blower get that job done. I only turn the blower on to light the stove or when new coal is added. I also made an ash shaker/poker out of a hanger. You need to be able to rake the coal from under the grate to remove ash.
@@TheFireMadSpencerAlexander thank you very much that's super helpful. have a great day
@@lossexe6331 no problem. I took lots of photos I’ll have to put up a video collage of them.
Why don’t you put glass back in?
@@Soggz7785 My legs are usually in that area and get burned by the heat escaping through the glass. I like having the option to close off the openings and have a backup in case the glass shatters.
@@Soggz7785 I have the glass with me at camp.
@@TheFireMadSpencerAlexander I have a stove just like that. I put thin fire ribbon around the edge of the glass to help seal it.👍🏾
What does it smell like when burnin?
@@chrispark2161 For myself peat smelled just fine. A cross between burning wet leaves and bituminous coal. Not as harsh as real wet leaves or overpowering like coal. I mixed in cedar and pinion with the peat, and honestly it smelled like sweet pipe tobacco after that.
It’s hard to find bituminous Coal by me. I’d love to try some.
Yeah, coal isn’t readily available near me either. I have to drive 4hrs down to the SUFCO mine near Salina, UT. Zero anthracite in Utah. So Tractor Supply (which never stocks coal) or Blaschak. SUFCO has low sulfur bituminous for 140per ton vs 750per ton for Blaschak.
How did your glass crack in the first place?
I think the scraper tool tapped the glass too hard and made a micro fracture that later cracked from the heat. Glass was also 5yrs old.
How long can it stay burning?
With a good bed of coals and dampened down you can get around 1.5-2hrs of 3 Bord Na Mona peat briquettes. I really liked them but these are now banned from export to USA. I had hoped to use peat to cut down on how much wood I haul up. I’ve decided to burn Anthracite and Bituminous coal. Coal burns a very long time. But you will need to modify your camp stove to let air in from the bottom.
Shalom
Perfect word for that experience.
