It’s been a while since we’ve talked, the last time I was still in a wheelchair. I can walk again and I have about 70% use of my arm again. I’m up to walking 1/2 mile again. I may never go back to the overland hikes or miles on end but I’m not going to give up. I remember you making that stove. Love the video.
As time moves forward, Lonnie looks more and more like Gandalf. He is a treasure of the bushcraft community and we all cherish him. Great video and very informative.
Wow, this is one of the most comprehensive videos I have watched on tent stoves. I really enjoyed how you presented the stoves that are available on the market as well as the homemade ones, also the one your friend made for you. I also appreciate your sharing of the personal likes and dislikes for each of them. Thank You, and God Bless You.
This video is like a present, when you started off with all those stoves I couldn't believe it, always a channel to learn from, it's been a while so great to see a video and well done on the 350k subs too. Thanks very much.
My gosh Lonnie and Connie!!! What a well done video!!! I've always wanted to camp in a hot tent and this video answered all my questions about stoves! You two always have high quality videos and are a pleasure to watch!!! Thank you and God Bless!!! p.s. Connie does a fantastic job filming!!! 👍👍👍
@@joefkollathkollath7325 Ha ha no problem, for what it's worth it's a great comment, I'm with you, they're great and I always watch to learn, thanks a lot.
That old military stove, is a Yukon Stove. I've spent many winter nights in a tent in the Alaskan interior, being grateful for having that stove. It saved our lives many times (172ND INF). We spent Jan & Feb in tents. There's a liquid fuel carburetor that attached to that big hole top front. Supposed to be for diesel, we used gasoline more often. It lit easy, sometimes too easy.
Yes you are correct. It is a Yukon Stove. At the time I purchased that stove about 40 years ago I could have also bought the liquid fuel system for the stove and I did not. Many times since, I have wished that I had purchased it
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Maybe the liquid fuel system for that Yukon Stove could be found online. Don't know what the military uses now. I wold imagine they have moved on to something more modern. There must be some left in Alaska here or there. We had hundreds of them back then. If you find one, be sure to use a "drip loop" in the fuel line outside and away from the tent. It keeps any line or tank leak from running down the outside of the flex line to the tent floor. Could save your life (definitely your equipment). Good luck.
Thank you Lonnie and Connie. In each of your videos I learn something new me and my grandfather used to do bushcraft together we would do crawdad traps I got pinched by one when I was 8 years old he was trying to help me get it off but he was laughing to hard and so was I; It makes it more difficult for me to explore and practice survival due to epilepsy which I was diagnosed at the age 6 which I am now 15. Bushcraft and survival is the number one thing I like to do I never did care to much for technology I enjoy manual work. My grandfather had a stroke in 2019 and I had brain surgery iv had 8 different surgeries but have had surgery 20 times
I've always liked the look of the 55 gal stoves, lots of good memories of exploring backcountry BC and finding old cabins with them. My father has made all the stoves I have ever used in tents while hunting or camping. Working as a steel fabricator he could always get scraps from pipe jobs where the ends are too short or cut improperly. He built a smaller one out of some thick scrap, and had the blacksmith make a coiled handle, while the damper/air intake was one he built himself with a bit of deer antler. Later he built a bigger one in the same vein, but of a thinner gauge steel, and very similar features, while only weighing about as much as the smaller one. Both of these stoves will definitely outlast him, and likely myself as well, and I'm thankful to have use of them.
That’s awesome! Got some questions if you’ll answer them: Was it stainless steel? What was the antler doing for the air intake? Do you have any photos/videos to share? -Alistair
I was just tickled to find out there are companies that still make wood burning kitchen stoves. Don't get much bigger than that but it's for a house instead of a tent. Some have small water tanks built in and others can be hooked up to the water line.
You are a walking talking salesman with real world knowledge and experience of Having and operating a hot tent. I really like that short barrel stove your buddy made. I still have the stove I made from your Video. It works well in the tarp shelter I have set up in the woods. Thanks Lonnie.
Love the channel here in The Blue Ridge Mountains Of Western North Carolina. I'm almost 2,500 feet above sea level here in my little mountain holler, the only good jobs up in these old mountains are mining quartz which I do 7 day's a week. I love learning and your channel is very informative, up here we teach our children to adapt and survive on what you can hunt or catch in our mountain streams! We have never had much a new house, new car and so on, but we always had food on the table and a place to lay our head's down at night, and we are always thankful for the life we all live up here!
This was an invaluable video; many thanks to you and Connie. You have a peacefulness about you that helps calm the soul these days. I'm looking forward to your next video. God bless you both.
I just wanted to thank you for all the warm nights your knowledge has taught me. The Siberian all night fire is my favorite! Go watch the vid ppl! You are a great man. Thank you again.
It is certainly fantastic to have you back Mr. Lonnie Thanks for another informative video. You and MS. Connie were definitely missed. Welcome Back. Glad to see your both well.
By far, this is my favorite bushcraft channel on youtube. Greatly enjoy learning all you have to teach, especially the fundamental things most channels skip over. Enjoy this autumn, God Bless from NYC
I've camped out in winter many times and I've found that even if you have the smallest Ammo Can wood burning stoves, if you have one of those heat powered fans blowing the warm air off the stove around, it doesn't matter how small the stove is because the fan will help spread the heat around A Lot instead of it just floating up into the highest portion of the tent. But, you will be putting more wood into your stove more often, but with the right dampener settings, you'll be getting that back under control. I like your video. First time being here, but really like the information you provide. Thank you. Subscribing now 😀
This is very interesting to me. I'm quite familiar with heavy steel wood stoves, and homemade drum stoves, but I know jack squat about portable stoves, and the new age take on how they're fabricated along with the plethora of bells and whistles. The water tank with a spigot is genius, and it leaves the stovetop open. Great presentation, loaded with a wealth of useful info! - Godspeed
Thank you Lonnie and Connie for this important video. I've watched you make a couple of those stoves. Your safety information is very timely for October. Cheeers!
Really, really enjoy watching all your videos and learning how other people do things. I really appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it. There's no place better than the great outdoors, untouched by modern society. Truly GODS country. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Lonnie the for making this very informative, educational video. Man, what a nice, well taken care of wood stove collection you have there.
Excellent video Lonnie and Connie I and many of us appreciate your contribution to making Humanity better with this knowledge of our past👍..... and unfortunately while Global corporations trying to erase and eradicate ancient knowledge silently and nonchalantly so that they can control our mentality and livelihood sucks 😤 most of us can ignore the BS and learn from those who really know, thank you!!!
Great to have you both back again after the summer pause ! And thank you for your very interesting review of the different kind of stoves and their advantages as well as disadvantages! With titanium, I think, I would have problems, when damages needed to get repaired in such a way like soldering, brazing or welding. As I have tried it once soldering would not work, and with brazing and welding the metal would start to oxidize and produce a white smoke of TiO2. So this needs to be done under an inert gas flow. And titanium gets brittle in the cold and the wear may be higher inside the oven. But otherwise it is hard (Mohs hardness: lead 1.5, aluminium/gold 2.5-3, iron 4.5, titanium 6, steel 7-8), light (densities: aluminium 2.70 g/cm3, titanium 4.5 g/cm3, iron 7.87 g/cm3, stainless steel up to 8 g/cm3, lead 11.29 g/cm3, gold 19.3 g/cm3) and mostly chemically inert, so that it is used for long term implanted prothesis in the human body.
Great vid on stoves. I've watched you make that one about three times now. I'm still amazed. Thanks for explaining many of my questions I had about the ones you showed. Take care and stay safe, my friends.
This video is 13 years old wow you are a elite craftsman thank you Bow and drill Tutorial 1 and two videos from 13 years ago the first video was on how to make a fire in super wet conditions your awesome wow then the snow one were you cut the tree down to two or three feet high made half way cut put bur lap to catch ambur my spelling is horrible sorry I have learned so many cool lessons making fatt wood I have a lot more to learn than hopefully try thank you Lonnie again I’m David
He's alive! So glad to see another vid! Hot tent...so ready for the cold weather. I live in the High Rockies and aspens came n gone. Doing the great "gear exchange" right now...airing out n repairing winter gear. Ah...at last! Soooo ready for the ..cold! Perfect timing Lonnie!
You have a look and sound like Father Time. As I watch I can just tell you know what you are talking about. You have superior communication skills. Thank you for sharing your many years of knowledge so well.
This was great! I especially love the one you made! I've been thinking about buying one so I don't need to use my propane heater... I don't have a bunch of extra money, and really like to see this many stoves and appreciate all the extras you made! Thank you so much! I'm really glad I found this Channel!
I have stayed away from glass sence the glass exploded in my stove at home. I have built several tent stoves for myself and 1 for a friend. Not 1 has had glass. All have had baffles and gaskets around the door. I'm glad I found your channel.
Great video Lonnie 👍. Such a selection of wood stoves 👌. I did the home made style 🙂, from a 50 cal amo box. Ok it took 8 hrs to make & $ 7.85 in parts. Way better than spending $ 124:00 . Has saved me well 🤪, for the past 3 years. No glass sides 🥴, only had to apply stove paint once. FYI I made my chimney flo from, old soup cans krimped and riveting 2gether.
Wow that is some collection of stoves! Over here, most folks use what we call an "airtight", they work awesome and run around $100. Great information, thank you for showing them!
I remember thee ole airtights and miss them. They were good stoves for the price. They were oval in shape and upright. I believe they were stoked through the top if I remember correctly. I have not seen an airtight here in Alaska for perhaps 40 years. I wonder why they don't still sell them here.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival That is strange, I can buy three different sizes at my local hardware store right now. When we tented they were the best, heated up a tent quickly and you could get them to burn 5 hrs to a load. They only last four or five years, but most of us add a liner and put an inch of sand in the bottom, and they would last much longer. I have one in my sauna at my cabin.
Oh my goodness. Lonnie it is so good to see your notification come up. I've been worried about you two. I hope all is well with you and Connie. I Love watching you two enjoying what the Lord made for us. Y'all are an inspiration to so many people who enjoy outdoor living. God Bless you both 🙏
I've found a good way to deal with creosote is to run a very hot fire in the stove once per day (usually first fire of the day). It tends to melt the creosote and it drips back down to the firebox to be burn again. The rest of your stove pipe cleaning tips with the branch, I have done as well. I've not tried the stainless steel scrubby. I also use a stove pipe thermometer to make sure I am burning the stove hot enough to not produce creosote.
I just decided yesterday to come looking for you. WOW that is a lot of stove. You get your hands on a bunch of vinegar, paper towel, and some garbage bags. Now.. you soak the paper towels with vinegar, plaster them on the rust, bag it up. You will eat every bit of rust off in no time. You can be rid of it easy as can be with just brushing it off, or bristle brush not wire because no need to scratch the metal, putting the paper towels back on, come back, repeat til gone. Well that or naval jelly, but I havent seen that since I learned the vinegar trick. They used to sell it.*shrug* Im a fan of side shelves too and hot water heaters too! Nothing better than a nice hot water bottle for the bed too, I just use a two liter bottle and wrap with a small towel. Good stove education! Hope to see more of you two! Glad to.
I also use the hot water bottle for warmer nights in the sleeping bag occasionally. However I drop ours into thick natural fiber socks. I have also used vinegar to remove bad rust on cast iron cookware by just submerging them in a 50/50 diluted vinegar and water mix. never thought of soaking paper towels and sealing the item off from air circulation. Great idea.
What I use for a spark arrestor combined with the galvanized HVAC tubing is "Kwik Mesh" (brand name) gable vent screen. It comes in a roll. I use the 6 inch by 25 foot roll. Cut off a section to fit the tubing - I use 6 inch diameter tubing that matches my 6 inch diameter rocket stove that I had custom made by a welding shop - I use the stove more as a porch heater/firepit than a stove. At the top of the "vent" tube I use a 6 inch galvanized rain cap. I cut a strip of the mesh approx. 20 inches long (6 inch diameter times Pi or 3.14 equals 18.84 inches) which gives a little overlap. Roll it to fit inside the rain cap, push it all the way up inside the cap as far as it will go and then use a couple of screws (pre drill the holes) to hold it in place. Works great, although I don't know about soot build up as that I haven't used it enough for that to become an issue as yet. I'm sure this would work for 4 inch diameter tubing as well.
This is the only channel I have never unsubscribed from or taken a break from. Lonnie, your videos are a pleasure and a comfort to me to watch. I always learn something good. Are all the leaves off the trees up there already and snow already? Trees are just beginning to change color now here in western Pennsylvania and it's just starting to cool down 60's/40's.
All the leaves are gone from the trees here at our elevation except occasional trees here and there. We have had temperatures down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit already as well.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Right after I wrote that comment, the weather here changed. It started back in the 70's and today it was 83. Now the forecast is saying mid to upper 70's for the next week and 60's at night. Indian summer. I'll take it.
Wife and I had ordered a tent stove last year and it wind up being sent to some lucky folks in Alabama… Never got the stove nor our money back but it was a titanium stove with the water canister… So if by any chance one comes on your channel and says. We got a free stove last year sent to us, tell them to enjoy, lol… Much thanks for this video… Y’all be warm this winter and safe out there…
Hello Lonnie & Connie, it was really great watching your videos as always. I noticed looking at some of your homemade stoves rust had taken over pretty much. On my outside smokers and also my homemade outside wood burning stove. I paint them with Rust Oleum engine paint. It claims to withstand 2000° F heat, I don't know about that, but I never had it burn off anything I've painted (but it does sorta thin out after time, and needs to be repainted). I've heard it said drums and such don't really burn out, but rust out after the paint burns off them. The only thing I would be concerned about is what, if any, toxic fumes it may produce in an enclosed area? Note again I have only used it on outside burning things where fumes isn't really a concern. Anyway I thought I mention it. Hope to catch another one of your video soon.
This like so many of your videos, this was super! It was loaded with great tutorials on the different types of stoves, it's uses and features, as well as cleaning. Thanks so much for posting this video and it was great seeing you guys again! 🤝
Another great video back in early 70s when I first started trapping a stove was made with an old oval wash tub turned upside down and two holes in top one for stove pipe and the other for loading wood with a piece of flattened stove pipe to cover hole. This worked surprisingly well in a tent or small line cabin. Life was simple then and people went to the bush to make money on fur. Don’t know what I miss the most the people or that way of life
I know exactly what type of stove you are talking about. My good friend Charles of AKTrapper here on youtube has told me of using a cutoff 55 gallon barrel used the same exact way when he was a kid. His dad, him and his brother travelled the frozen surface of the rivers on their backcountry trips and would heat their tent with that very type of stove.
Ya, I've got the Winnerwel Nomad large and I really like the side glass, and front. . I don't mind cleaning it. Adds such a nice ambience and you can really see what's going on in there. You're right, it doesn't warp any, like the metal side does a little. Sure is a solid stove though. Lots of great accessories. Also have the Luxe 3W for backpacking and that has the glass on the front. Both are great for different situations.
Didn't expect to learn so from this video after all the research I've already done, excellent work. I'm now looking at building a steel drum stove as an inexpensive first winter option for my wall tent.
55 gallon stoves are the best option I know of for larger wall tents as wall tents tend to be a harder to heat shelter design due to the large overhead area. However with a stove of that size, a wall tent can be made to be quite comfortable. I go camping almost every winter with friends and acquaintances that use 55 gallon barrel stoves in larger traditional canvas wall tents. The tents are often quite comfortable even down to 20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit & maybe colder. Good luck with the project.
Between this showing all the options available, and your others showing how to make one, got plenty of ideas for making one with the options i want. Thank you both
It’s been a while since we’ve talked, the last time I was still in a wheelchair. I can walk again and I have about 70% use of my arm again. I’m up to walking 1/2 mile again.

Never heard of rolled up pipe, more inclined use triple thick stove pipe.
That's what was asking.

OMG! I was thinking the same thing. Hahaha. Bushcrafting wiseman sharing his knowledge for good.

When Lonnie talks about stoves, I pay attention. Quite a range of stoves you have Lonnie. Thanks for sharing

Nice collection of wood stoves, Lonnie. I'm a fan of "bigger is better" when it comes to wood stoves. Good to see you both, it's been awhile.

Ahhhh, the grand wizard returns with wood stoves. I love this channel
The ring to tie down the chimney top is genius, wish I knew that instead of using clamps. As for scrubbing, I had a toilet brush that worked great!
Toilet brush. Never thought of that one but it ought to work.

Great informational video, thank you for taking the time to go threw everything in detail like you did 👍👍
Really pleased to see you both back ! I was worried about what was happening.
This is so incredibly helpful for somebody who is just getting started in hot tenting. Very much appreciated!
Once again, Lonnie, you have provided most valuable content!!!
Thank you. I've been looking for stuff like this for a while now. Australia is very limited so it's a matter of doing and making it yourself

This was great! I especially love the one you made! I've been thinking about buying one so I don't need to use my propane heater... I don't have a bunch of extra money, and really like to see this many stoves and appreciate all the extras you made! Thank you so much! I'm really glad I found this Channel!
Hi Lonnie, thanks for sharing your experience with the stoves and the detailed explanation of it. Glad to see your both being well, take care, Taro
As always, so very helpful and filled with great information. Thank you so much Lonnie and Connie. Blessings to you with much joy.
Love this, glad to see you posting again. Hope you all are doing well.
Thank you Lonnie & Connie for your time & effort with this video. 🏕 ⛺️
I have stayed away from glass sence the glass exploded in my stove at home. I have built several tent stoves for myself and 1 for a friend. Not 1 has had glass. All have had baffles and gaskets around the door. I'm glad I found your channel.
finally, i was so worried about you two. What a nice video, worth waiting.
I use a used teabag to clean the glass.
I enjoyed it very much!
Very Good my Friend , it’s funny, y’all had been in our thoughts lately, good to see ya , God Bless, thanks
quite the thorough vid on stoves , thanks bud .
I love that second last one... the barrel on it's side that says _KIMBAK_ on the door. That one is nice!
This is an excellent video on these stoves. It's informative enough to call it a reference guide. Good job.
Latinos learning a lot from you!
We love it!!
So glad to hear from you again. I enjoyed visiting with you for a bit. Take care.
Great video Lonnie 👍. Such a selection of wood stoves 👌. I did the home made style 🙂, from a 50 cal amo box. Ok it took 8 hrs to make & $ 7.85 in parts. Way better than spending $ 124:00 . Has saved me well 🤪, for the past 3 years. No glass sides 🥴, only had to apply stove paint once. FYI I made my chimney flo from, old soup cans krimped and riveting 2gether.
By far the best presentation on tent stoves! Nice collection too
Man I love this channel its always informative and and step by step instructions on what your doing
Lots of history here going way back. Love the variety and information. Thanks for sharing.
Real happy to see you both again. Hope you are healthy and happy. Thanks for the class on the stoves.
Wow that is some collection of stoves! Over here, most folks use what we call an "airtight", they work awesome and run around $100. Great information, thank you for showing them!
I remember thee ole airtights and miss them. They were good stoves for the price. They were oval in shape and upright. I believe they were stoked through the top if I remember correctly. I have not seen an airtight here in Alaska for perhaps 40 years. I wonder why they don't still sell them here.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival That is strange, I can buy three different sizes at my local hardware store right now. When we tented they were the best, heated up a tent quickly and you could get them to burn 5 hrs to a load. They only last four or five years, but most of us add a liner and put an inch of sand in the bottom, and they would last much longer. I have one in my sauna at my cabin.
Oh my goodness. Lonnie it is so good to see your notification come up. I've been worried about you two. I hope all is well with you and Connie. I Love watching you two enjoying what the Lord made for us. Y'all are an inspiration to so many people who enjoy outdoor living. God Bless you both 🙏
Just the more useful vidéo to see before chosing your tent stove !
Tank you !
I've found a good way to deal with creosote is to run a very hot fire in the stove once per day (usually first fire of the day). It tends to melt the creosote and it drips back down to the firebox to be burn again. The rest of your stove pipe cleaning tips with the branch, I have done as well. I've not tried the stainless steel scrubby. I also use a stove pipe thermometer to make sure I am burning the stove hot enough to not produce creosote.
God Bless you! Thank you for this very important information. Very important right now, because we don't know what tomorrow will bring.❤️🙏
OMG, Are you a REAL Forest Wizard?! Lonnie and Connie. Instant Fan!
One year on the black powder hunt i stayed in a wall tent about 8' x 10' with a stove the size of that smaller Nomad. It was perfect!
I just decided yesterday to come looking for you. WOW that is a lot of stove. You get your hands on a bunch of vinegar, paper towel, and some garbage bags. Now.. you soak the paper towels with vinegar, plaster them on the rust, bag it up. You will eat every bit of rust off in no time. You can be rid of it easy as can be with just brushing it off, or bristle brush not wire because no need to scratch the metal, putting the paper towels back on, come back, repeat til gone. Well that or naval jelly, but I havent seen that since I learned the vinegar trick. They used to sell it.*shrug*
Im a fan of side shelves too and hot water heaters too! Nothing better than a nice hot water bottle for the bed too, I just use a two liter bottle and wrap with a small towel.
Good stove education!
Hope to see more of you two! Glad to.
I also use the hot water bottle for warmer nights in the sleeping bag occasionally. However I drop ours into thick natural fiber socks. I have also used vinegar to remove bad rust on cast iron cookware by just submerging them in a 50/50 diluted vinegar and water mix. never thought of soaking paper towels and sealing the item off from air circulation. Great idea.
Sir you and your wife are totally brilliant to watch thankyou for taking the time to do this for us 😍😎
Great to see Connie and you again. Peace
What I use for a spark arrestor combined with the galvanized HVAC tubing is "Kwik Mesh" (brand name) gable vent screen. It comes in a roll. I use the 6 inch by 25 foot roll. Cut off a section to fit the tubing - I use 6 inch diameter tubing that matches my 6 inch diameter rocket stove that I had custom made by a welding shop - I use the stove more as a porch heater/firepit than a stove.
At the top of the "vent" tube I use a 6 inch galvanized rain cap. I cut a strip of the mesh approx. 20 inches long (6 inch diameter times Pi or 3.14 equals 18.84 inches) which gives a little overlap. Roll it to fit inside the rain cap, push it all the way up inside the cap as far as it will go and then use a couple of screws (pre drill the holes) to hold it in place.
Works great, although I don't know about soot build up as that I haven't used it enough for that to become an issue as yet.
I'm sure this would work for 4 inch diameter tubing as well.
The Ghendalf of bushcraft is very helpful! Thank you for so many informative videos!
Hi Lonnie and of course Connie. Glad to see you back in action. Thank you for all the information. Stay safe. ATB. NIgel
This is the only channel I have never unsubscribed from or taken a break from. Lonnie, your videos are a pleasure and a comfort to me to watch. I always learn something good. Are all the leaves off the trees up there already and snow already? Trees are just beginning to change color now here in western Pennsylvania and it's just starting to cool down 60's/40's.
All the leaves are gone from the trees here at our elevation except occasional trees here and there. We have had temperatures down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit already as well.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Right after I wrote that comment, the weather here changed. It started back in the 70's and today it was 83. Now the forecast is saying mid to upper 70's for the next week and 60's at night. Indian summer. I'll take it.
Glad you guys are back! We missed you!
Hope all is well...take care.
Wife and I had ordered a tent stove last year and it wind up being sent to some lucky folks in Alabama… Never got the stove nor our money back but it was a titanium stove with the water canister… So if by any chance one comes on your channel and says. We got a free stove last year sent to us, tell them to enjoy, lol… Much thanks for this video… Y’all be warm this winter and safe out there…
Another great video Lonnie and some great information as always. Always good to over the pros and cons of any stove….cheers Fred
Hello Lonnie & Connie, it was really great watching your videos as always. I noticed looking at some of your homemade stoves rust had taken over pretty much. On my outside smokers and also my homemade outside wood burning stove. I paint them with Rust Oleum engine paint. It claims to withstand 2000° F heat, I don't know about that, but I never had it burn off anything I've painted (but it does sorta thin out after time, and needs to be repainted). I've heard it said drums and such don't really burn out, but rust out after the paint burns off them. The only thing I would be concerned about is what, if any, toxic fumes it may produce in an enclosed area? Note again I have only used it on outside burning things where fumes isn't really a concern. Anyway I thought I mention it. Hope to catch another one of your video soon.
This like so many of your videos, this was super! It was loaded with great tutorials on the different types of stoves, it's uses and features, as well as cleaning. Thanks so much for posting this video and it was great seeing you guys again! 🤝
Another great video back in early 70s when I first started trapping a stove was made with an old oval wash tub turned upside down and two holes in top one for stove pipe and the other for loading wood with a piece of flattened stove pipe to cover hole. This worked surprisingly well in a tent or small line cabin. Life was simple then and people went to the bush to make money on fur. Don’t know what I miss the most the people or that way of life
I know exactly what type of stove you are talking about. My good friend Charles of AKTrapper here on youtube has told me of using a cutoff 55 gallon barrel used the same exact way when he was a kid. His dad, him and his brother travelled the frozen surface of the rivers on their backcountry trips and would heat their tent with that very type of stove.
Ya, I've got the Winnerwel Nomad large and I really like the side glass, and front. . I don't mind cleaning it. Adds such a nice ambience and you can really see what's going on in there. You're right, it doesn't warp any, like the metal side does a little. Sure is a solid stove though. Lots of great accessories. Also have the Luxe 3W for backpacking and that has the glass on the front. Both are great for different situations.
Hello there Connie and Lonnie. Nice to see you again. Thanks for sharing. Really miss your videos. Greetings from Chile
Didn't expect to learn so from this video after all the research I've already done, excellent work. I'm now looking at building a steel drum stove as an inexpensive first winter option for my wall tent.
55 gallon stoves are the best option I know of for larger wall tents as wall tents tend to be a harder to heat shelter design due to the large overhead area. However with a stove of that size, a wall tent can be made to be quite comfortable. I go camping almost every winter with friends and acquaintances that use 55 gallon barrel stoves in larger traditional canvas wall tents. The tents are often quite comfortable even down to 20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit & maybe colder. Good luck with the project.
Between this showing all the options available, and your others showing how to make one, got plenty of ideas for making one with the options i want. Thank you both
Great to see you again, it has been to long I missed you Lonnie and Connie and thanks for this informative video.
PRICELESS VIDEO!
We're currently woodstove shopping. Thanks!
