    “Lava rock from the neighbors yard”. That line had me laughing.

      Ha ha ha I guess I should add in there to ask first because I feel like I’m going to get a lot of complaints from that!! 😂

    Good evening from Godley Texas, thanks for sharing this ammo can build. A project that an individual with limited skills can accomplish. Stay safe and happy travels 😎

    That ammo can brings back memories. We used to use them to store food while camping. Made great toolboxes/ storage as well. You could get different sizes at gun shows- the real metal ones. Some are made of plastic now. This would be a great, portable fire source for hunting or camping. Thanks for showing this. Stay safe and GOD bless

      Oh yeah, those ammo cans are great for anything! I have to look into what other sizes there are I just figured 50 Cal would be one of the larger boxes but I might look to see if I can find a larger one to make a fire pit. Ha ha ha.

    Wow, this is such a great idea! If we didn't already have a small portable fire pit, I would definitely build one! I really enjoy watching your building and repair videos. You dod a great job and I feel this is something I could diffidently do in the future. It looks fantastic and I look forward to seeing your next video.

    • @worklessenjoylifemore
      @worklessenjoylifemore  Рік тому

      Yeah it’s definitely a cool little project and it’s a whole heck of a lot cheaper than buying one outright ha ha ha! I just wanted to be able to help show people that they can build one if they can’t afford a new one 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed it!

    Hey Larry, I’ve never seen lava rocks anywhere outside in NY or FL. That was a great idea. Will show the Mrs. and I think she will like. Have to look up materials. Thanks.

    • @worklessenjoylifemore
      @worklessenjoylifemore  Рік тому

      Yeah lava rocks probably aren’t as common back east. If you want I have all the links to everything including lava rocks in the video description if that helps?

    • @theathjr
      @theathjr Рік тому

      Lava rocks are quite prevalent in HOT climates like the central Valley of California but more prevalent in the desert climates like eastern California, Nevada, Arizona , New Mexico and west Texas

    We are so sorry about your other Pup. We were wondering why he was in some of your older videos but not in the newer ones. Thanks for bringing us along. This weekend will be our VERY 1ST camping trip. We are so excited.

    As far as I know the folks who drill holes in the side do it for when they're making the burner themselves by drilling a hole in some pipe. I noticed your burner has air inlets next to the propane inlet, supposedly drilling the holes in the side of the box does the same thing and allows it to burn without black smoke! I think it's a similar principle to those smokeless firepits

    Hey man, im a Phoenician and you have given great ideas on places and ideas whilst camping. Thank you for your hard work. Best scenic place to camp near cottonwood/jerome? I frequent there often.

    • @worklessenjoylifemore
      @worklessenjoylifemore  Рік тому

      If you go up the mountain, heading towards Jerome from the Prescott Valley side. There are a few really sharp hairpin turns and on a couple of those turns if you slow down and look, there are little gravel roads leading off of those turns and if you follow those back there are some pretty amazing sites back there! Although they’re pretty deep into the woods, so there’s not much in the way of views. If you’re wanting views, you can Google the Woodchute trail, which is at the very top of the mountain above Jerome and if you drive back to that trailhead and make a left, there is a dirt road that follows out pretty far and you’ll eventually hit campsites that are sitting right on the edge of the mountain, and they have pretty cool views

  • @RichardT2112
    @RichardT2112 Рік тому +1

    Great idea .. my concern would be how close the rubber hose is from the metal side which would get quite hot … any way to expose more of the burner to distance the connection?

    • @worklessenjoylifemore
      @worklessenjoylifemore  Рік тому +1

      I was a little worried about that at first, but it doesn’t really seem to get that hot down there where the fitting is at. The burner itself sets up so high that all the heat seems to stay towards the top of the can, at least that’s where all the paint is peeling off from ha ha ha ha

    This right here is a basic .50 caliber ammo can, you can get these all day. And this right here is a M2 Browning machine gun which we will be mounting on the front of the GMC. Let's get started.

  • @RavenRunFoxRoam
    @RavenRunFoxRoam 9 місяців тому +1

    I made one of these and it melted the steel braided propane hose at the burner fitting. The heat transfer was just too much. Any ideas?

    • @worklessenjoylifemore
      @worklessenjoylifemore  9 місяців тому

      Oh, really? The only other idea I would have is to move the burner up higher so most the heat escapes instead of heating the sides of the ammo can

      Oh well see that one that I built now has labor tacked on and I’m pretty pricey per hour so that fire pit is now $175 so go ahead and send cash or check. Ha ha ha just kidding thanks mike!

      @@worklessenjoylifemore ok $173 seems fair enough considering a brand name new on is like $200. But I’ll only $173 if you autograph it! 😁 BTW…Hope your piggy bank will hold 17,300 Pennies! Brinks truck should be there by Noon tomorrow lol

      I know they exist and know how to use the metric system, but most Americans have no clue how to measure that way 🤷
