DUCT WORK CAMP STOVE

REPOSTED FROM;skiptomylou.org

FIST THINGS FIRST A WARNING: THE FUMES GIVEN OFF FROM HEATING GALVANIZED MATERIAL IS TOXIC! ALWAYS DO A HOT FIRST BURN WITHOUT FOOD TO BURN OFF ALL THE ZINC FROM GALVANIZATION. ONLY THEN WILL IT BE SAFE TO USE! STAND BACK FROM THE STOVE AND IF POSSIBLE COVER YOUR MOUTH DURING FIRST BURN. YOU WILL SEE SMOKE RISING FROM THE SIDES OF THE STOVE. WAIT AT LEAST TEN MINUETS AFTER SEEING THAT SMOKE STOP BEFORE YOU LET THE FIRE DIE DOWN. THIS IS A FUN PROJECT BUT MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY!

We are thinking outside the box and made ourselves a camp stove out of ductwork!

It really was super simple and all the supplies can be found at Lowes.

Supplies For DIY Camp Stove

6″ x 6″ x 6″ galvanized Tee duct

6″ galvanized duct collar

6″ galvanized damper

6″ round duct cap

4″ x 4″ x 8″ Step Flashing

4 – 60D Hot Galvanized Polebarn nails

#10 x 1/2″ phillips head metal pan screws

#8 flat washers

How To Build A Camp Stove

First, flatten the step flashing.

Hook the duct cap to the flattened step flashing with four screws. Drill pilot holes first to make this easier.

Drill a 1/4″hole in each corner of the flattened step flashing. This will give the cooker a place to be staked so it won’t tip over.

Install the damper by drilling a hole in the top side of the tee that points out to the side.

Unhook the collar by removing the small metal clip.

Fit the collar into the top of the tee, drill a hole, and fasten with a screw.

Spread the flanges in and out all the way around the top of the collar. Set the tee onto the cap that was attached to the flattened step flashing.

Build your fire inside and you are ready to get cookin!
