You could weld up and make the top of the hopper a .50cal ammo can that has the rubber gasket so you don’t have to tape the bag to the hopper. Excellent build and idea! Thank you
Id love to see a pea coal test on this rig too if you are in area other than Oregon. Burning coal is a crime here even though wood stoves are common lol
I have a small almost tiny Chubby my dad bought from some surplus magazine 15 years ago. I wonder if i could replace its front door with your hopper system and heat my shed with it? seems like it's a rocket stove hybrid lol
I have a few more questions. First, do you have the 90° elbows inside your tent to allow your stove to be more centered and then more heat dispersion in the tent? Or do you have your chimney hole on the side wall of your tent? And second, can you provide some numbers on building this? What angle did you go with for the burn tube? How long is the burn tube? And how far back is the feeder tube from the stove?
The chimney hole is in the side of the tent. The first elbow is in the tent and the second elbow is on the outside. I'm not sure on the measurements, it's all packed away with my gear again. I have also been modifying if over the last couple years and things have changed from what my original numbers were when I built it, I never remeasured it other than the first video I did on it.
@@chasethehunt2187 what elevation and temperature did you deal with? I'm planning a late November hunt in Colorado at 9k feet elevation. I'm worried the high elevation and thin air may cause inadequate drafting. I have the 12x12 Alaknak and a Colorado Cylinder Stove that heats it well burning wood. Just worried about how the pellets will preform before I go cutting into a $600 wood stove haha
I typically use it around 3k to 5k elevation. Not sure how it would do at 9. I had a fire in my stove a few years ago at 10,800 and it burned just fine but it wasn't pellets. My tent is 12x14
Ya, so it's called a stack robber. It goes inline in your flue piping and what happens is the heat coming up out of the stove has to weave through the tubes and out the top. This causes the tubes to heat up and if you put a fan on one side, it will bow the hot Air in the tube out the other side and into the living space. I hope that makes sense.
No, I don't think it had much of an effect. It would act like a damper just because it has some restriction to the airflow but I don't think it's enough to make much of a difference
Your burning about 300 dollars a month 10 a bag per day x30 =300 I buy a cord of firewood for 300 a cord and it last 1 month Same same . It s about what keeps you warm and wood heat is so nice when it’s wet cold snowing.
I hear ya. My main reason for the pellets is because I only use the stove in my wall tent when I'm camping in the winter. I really don't like having to get up because my fire died, light it again then can't sleep because it's to hot, then fall asleep when it's comfortable only to wake up from being cold because the fire is dead. With this stove it stays about 65 in the tent all night long and never changes. I agree, I love wood heat. Growing up we used propane heaters in the tent and nothing ever dried out.
This is frig’n genius… if you have build plans and there’s any way you’d share them please send me some, or let me know where to get them

Thanks for watching, interesting idea!! It definitely needs to be air tight and that should do it

Nice build!
Thanks @dylanrideout4921
nice set up well done Sir ;)
Very nice that is very cool. I like it..
If you can get your hands on some corn from a farmer , mix with the pellets. Good stuff
Really, I've never heard of this? How does corn help?
@@chasethehunt2187 Got a high heat content for the weight and volume.

Any advice? Still liking the set up? I was wanting to make this exact set up with my Colorado Cylinder Stove Timberline
Yes, I love it. I light it and sleep comfortably through the night with consistent heat 👍

I noticed that you added a box with holes onto your chimney pipe. Can you explain what that is, how it has helped and if it’s needed?
Ya, so it's called a stack robber. It goes inline in your flue piping and what happens is the heat coming up out of the stove has to weave through the tubes and out the top. This causes the tubes to heat up and if you put a fan on one side, it will bow the hot Air in the tube out the other side and into the living space. I hope that makes sense.
@@chasethehunt2187 do you feel this had any effect on the length of burn?
No, I don't think it had much of an effect. It would act like a damper just because it has some restriction to the airflow but I don't think it's enough to make much of a difference
Why are there slits on the top and bottom side of the square part of the tubing?
Just to help bring in more airflow for a cleaner more efficient burn.
Why not build a metal lid for the hoper? Why use a bag and tape instead
Either way would work but both would need to be taped or somehow sealed.

Good news is that is a great stove, the bad news is I think I have fallen in love with your beautiful wife.Lol
Haha, I have too
