I am adding a 5 inch glass lid on my door and didn't have room for a latch so thank you for the door handle/latch idea. I like how it doesn't stick out the side like many others.
This is one of my favorite propane tank stoves I have seen yet. Simple and functional. I cant stand all the upright propane tank stoves with like a 7" stove pipe ? I see all the heat going out the pipe
It's difficult to establish the correct vent diameter without knowing how many BTUs the stove will produce. I used a 4''' vent with a 14' total vent height. This works perfect for this stove. Even when lighting there is very little smoke in the shop. Thanks for the great comment!
Looks almost identical to the one I made four years ago. However I also welded a smaller propane cylinder at the top, in front of the chimney and with a removable flat round plate (easy secondary access to the burning wood). I can also place a cast iron skillet or coffee pot on the top flat side. I also made my legs removable fir transporting. I used 1” diameter black pipe with screw- in female ends for the legs to screw in. I mad the exact same baffle near the exhaust. I swear I’m looking at a ghost stove! Lol.
I'm building a propane wood nurner from a 40 gallon bottle. I LOVE the plate being removable...I was ciphering on how to weld one in place. Your brackets gave me the answer. I'm going to build in a 2 ring cast iron cook hole into mine.
@@workingwithjoe841 I was thinking the same thing. I was going to weld some length on the sides, across the top and in front of the stove pipe some 4-5 inch angle iron or just 1/4 flat stock to make some sort of a rock box area so the rocks sit on top. What are your thoughts? Do you think it would get hot enough for say a 4-8 foot sauna shed? Thanks in advance! Love the build by the way!!
I'ts just 3/8 round bar scrap I had laying around. One thing I forgot to mention about the grate is that the end cross pieces are a little longer than the rest so that it rests on the corners and doesn't wobble. Have fun with your project!
I never use a gasket on my stoves. No need. Silicon isn’t needed either. The slight little air crevices serve only to barely suck in air. I also made a secondary air intake near the bottom and I adjust the air intake as needed.
I would like to know the diameter of your chimney pipe. I built a similar stove from an air compressor tank, and with a three-inch chimney, smoke comes out of the door when I open it to add wood. Excellent video. Thanks.
Well Joe instead of the steel plate put some fire bricks up there. And if you could put some square tubing up there to hold it and put at least 3 holes in them to put steel pipe into the holes and weld them. But 1st drill small holes in the pipes at 1 inch apart and at a 45 and set it up so air can get into the tubing. Then with in 20-30 minutes after start up it will stop smoking. By doing it that way it will get hot enough to force the gas out of the wood And 😅that's what will burn if it's set up right.
Great! What did you use to make the transition from the round propane tank? Its square and looks familiar. Is it something that is commonly available? Same with the door? thanks.
thanks. The vent is only 4 inch, but the total vent height is 14 feet. anything under 10 feet i would have gone with 5 inch. I think 6 inch is too large for a stove this small. If a vent is oversized, the flue gases travel too slow and cool too much causing creosote and soot build up. good luck with your build
The floor doesn't get hot, but i would be concerned about coals falling out. I strongly suggest making a fireproof floor area. I'm not an expert, but I'm sure its code everywhere.
Nice job. The stove looks great but I'm a little disappointed with the video. I thought I was going to see someone put a small propane bottle in a wood stove and watch it blow up.
We built an extension away from the tank out of 1/8 inch plate to allow for the hinge support, and to allow for the baffle and draft opening to be somewhat protected from being banged up by wood. We made the top corners diagonal and rounded the bottom to make the opening as large as possible . Then we made a frame for the extension with 3/8 inch angle iron so the gasket would have something to seat against. To round the bottom we used a zip disc to cut lines in one flange of the angle iron 1/4 inch apart, made a gentle bend, and welded up the cuts and ground them smooth. then we made another frame out of 1/2 inch angle iron to fit comfortably over the first frame. Then we cut a plate to fit snugly in it after drilling a center hole and cutting the three triangles for the air draft. We welded the plate only on the inside, then installed our gasket. Standing the stove on the back end we set the door in position on the inner frame with a brick on top to let the gasket set over night, and welded the hinge on with this setup to ensure the door fit squarely. I hope this helps.
@@workingwithjoe841 Thanks for that advice. I was thinking of using 5 inch, but wasn't sure. I'm thinking about using a 2-1/2" piece of 5" sch 40 iron pipe for the flue collar
Rule of thumb: It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to WORK! Also, ever look into a rocket stove? You can make one out of a propane bottle. Very efficient.
@@workingwithjoe841 LOL you took that the wrong way. It was an old saying about DIY jobs. People worried about function over appearance. No insult intended.
@@workingwithjoe841 need to find a reasonable way to use something like that to pump some heat into a house without extensive modifications to either the stove or the house. And a way to avoid having a PERMIT to do it. (city dweller here ugggh)

That is a nice little stove, thanks for the additional insights on improvements shedding light on how to plan a similar build. Great video. God bless
Best home built vid I have seen.. no endless rambling, just the facts ma’am ..
Just the facts.. thanks….
I appreciate that!

Shes a beautiful unit. Well done sir. If I can make mine half as good as this I'll be a happy camper lol
Thank you very much.
Well done! Im looking into making a sauna stove out of a 20lb tank. Thank you for posting and good luck with the channel
Thanks! the problem with a propane tank for a sauna stove is no flat surfaces for the rock box, but a little creativity goes a long way. Good luck.

Very nice my friend! I’m gonna try to replicate yours. By far the nicest one I seen on here. Thanks
Awesome job must be a 4inch pipe vent going to make one with a 30 lbs tank love the door handle I’ll have to find one.
Well made , well explained, makes it easy to replicate a good stove
Glad it helped
That is a really nice build guys!!
thanks!
Thats nice..ty for sharing
Really cool, now make more and sell them in your area like at farmers markets or to neighbors.
solid build
thanks
Great idea, my friend
I come from Vietnam
Good morning Vietnam
Love it, job well done
Very nice design!
Nice looking stove!
Thanks man!
Great job guys
Thank you.
Best one I’ve seen
thanks!
I am building one for Ice fishing, love your stove. What is the grate material?? it appears to be tubing? Thank You
I'ts just 3/8 round bar scrap I had laying around. One thing I forgot to mention about the grate is that the end cross pieces are a little longer than the rest so that it rests on the corners and doesn't wobble. Have fun with your project!
Awesome! Take care and just remember JESUS loves you
add a flat top coffee or pan,nice build for heat only

How would i fit the wood?
LOL!
Sorry, tha lol was meant for a different comment .
Nice!
Que buen taller 👌👌
Great! What did you use to make the transition from the round propane tank? Its square and looks familiar. Is it something that is commonly available? Same with the door? thanks.
In your stack you could add a bread baker oven box. Old school, I don't know what its called.
Good idea
one of the best propane bottle stoves i have seen, is that a 6 inch stack? I am just about to build one myself, wont be near as good as yours! lol
thanks. The vent is only 4 inch, but the total vent height is 14 feet. anything under 10 feet i would have gone with 5 inch. I think 6 inch is too large for a stove this small. If a vent is oversized, the flue gases travel too slow and cool too much causing creosote and soot build up. good luck with your build
Awesome video- new friend here- very interesting
Thanks and welcome
How do you figure what size chimney you used? Is that 3 inch
4" . I estimated 50.000 BTUs, and a total vent height of 12'. If the vent was over 15" , i would have gone down to a 3 3 in''.
Where you put the cooking pan?
If I were to replicate this wood burner it would be fine on my wood floor?
The floor doesn't get hot, but i would be concerned about coals falling out. I strongly suggest making a fireproof floor area. I'm not an expert, but I'm sure its code everywhere.
@@workingwithjoe841 Wasn't thinking about falling hot coals that makes sense thank you.
I think this is near perfect. Just needs another propane tank on top to capture the heat and burn the gases off before going up the chimney
door slick and air tight
Nice job. The stove looks great but I'm a little disappointed with the video. I thought I was going to see someone put a small propane bottle in a wood stove and watch it blow up.
Great suggestion! Thanks!
-30C is about -22F. Thx.
Sorry for the error, thanks for the comment.
How did you build out the door frame?
We built an extension away from the tank out of 1/8 inch plate to allow for the hinge support, and to allow for the baffle and draft opening to be somewhat protected from being banged up by wood. We made the top corners diagonal and rounded the bottom to make the opening as large as possible .

Standing the stove on the back end we set the door in position on the inner frame with a brick on top to let the gasket set over night, and welded the hinge on with this setup to ensure the door fit squarely. I hope this helps.
what size exhaust pipe you using?
4'' vent with a 14' total vent height. anything less than 10' total vent height I would use 5''. Hope this helps.
@@workingwithjoe841 Thanks for that advice. I was thinking of using 5 inch, but wasn't sure. I'm thinking about using a 2-1/2" piece of 5" sch 40 iron pipe for the flue collar
Is that a 30lb tank, or 20lb? Thanks
I'd like to know if its 20 or 30 lb tank?
30 lb
