A good friend of mine from Cody, WY. who has passed onto a higher camp… build my 30 gal. “Stubby” barrel wood stove in 1986. I build a grate for the bottom and toss in a few shovels if gravel to keep the bottom from burning out… she has been my base camp stove for 38 years. I do have an ammo can stove I use for decent hike (under 20 miles) hot hot tent/tarp camping… simple and it works… you just have to feed it with 8” long and 2-3 inch diameter sticks all night. We have ran the gauntlet on foldable stoves over my 45 years of packing and hunting. Nothing beats a good base camp stove. The rest… use, abuse and replace as needed. Maintain a roll of wire. Good video sir.
Hey! I watched this video before I thought about making an ammo can stove! Thanks!
Good commentary and critique on all designs. Thanks!!
Best video I have found yet addressing my needs. Large ammo cans aren't used a lot I guess. Thanks for the information. GOD BLESS
I was thinking of building an ammo can wood stove. Looking at your builds gives me some ideas of how I want to do one and what size of ammo can I want to use. I know there's a mortar can that is similar to the 40mm can but it's tall and the lid just pops off. If I use that one I can get a heavy duty hinge and make that whole lid into a door that lifts up while the can sits on it's side. I got all kinds of ideas I want to run with, lol. Thanks for the video and the tips. Stay safe bud 👍🇺🇲
Nice to learn from your experiments.
I'll take that 50 cal can because it fits in the pack. Great for small hooch. Not really a problem to keep it going every 2 hours. Two pipes and two elbows not much to add to a 30lb pack. Especially when it is so essential to have in the cold.
Excellent video. I made one out of 40mm. Its great!!!! I'm going to make 2 more. One will be propane, the other to burn wood pellets.
You can stack rocks along the sides of the stove like bricks. The rocks heat and extend your temp time.
Good information Clay, thanks.👍
Once you said your stove had 12 sides. I kinda figured you don't know wtf you're talking about. Thanks for sharing your experience tho
This is awesome love your stoves! I made a stove about the size of your middle one! Its been great. I put a damper plate on and I noticed was able to control my burn so burn time would last longer! I was curious if you put a damper plate on yours or have tried it?
The problem with the medium sized stove is the poor design and craftmanship. All you had to do was turn that can around and put the door in the other end instead of using the latch end. Also, your door needs to be larger than the opening. Your smokestack needs to be a smaller diameter pipe. So on and so on. Please take this as constructive criticism. Good luck with your future builds.
Thank you for the video! I'm curious, if you were on the show "Alone" and could bring one of these, which one would you take?
Clayton: I agree with you wholeheartedly about winter camping. I’ve never really bothered to take in a stove with me, other than something with which I could cook. But then again, I’m a person who likes to stay in a hammock you’re around when I’m camping. But lately I’ve been rethinking that. After all, above the tree line and up in the hills, there just aren’t trees in which to hang a hammock. That’s a pretty serious limitation. I just have a good arctic sleeping bag, and don’t even think about a stove. But I’m a bit sick of limiting myself to the tree line. So now there’s a really good reason to get back into a tent, and reconsider that whole stove idea.
Nice video man, thanks for sharing.
Thanks alot.saved me some bull shoot.
I have a bunch of ammo cans and have been looking for protects to use them I am thinking putting a door in the top would be the best so you feed it like a old cook stove. I would put a small door on the front so you can still rake the cools easily but it wouldn’t need to be huge and you could leave the front handle in tack
Love the big one. I think you said it was a 20mm rocket can, but I can’t find that style anywhere. Can you give anymore details to help find that specific can?
I have 1 over engineered 50cal ammo can stove. It has a mica window on the side. I use a 3"x6foot rollout titanium stovepipe. The legs fold up, the poker breaks down ane everything fits inside the stove for transport. Just suggest a grate or lifted bottom so the bottom doesnt burnout and dump your fire inside the tent while youre sleeping.
