Building a DIY wood stove from a helium/propane tank. No welding! Great for a log cabin or tiny home

Hi! I made a wood stove for the log cabin I'm building in the woods. It's made out of a helium tank which is just a little smaller than a regular BBQ propane tank.

This is my first time working with metal and I had a lot of fun with this project! I don't have the tools or experience to weld, so the whole thing had to be done with nuts and bolts! The trickiest spot was the chimney, the hole had to be very snug all around to avoid welding! I'm using 2.5" car exhaust pipes for the chimney.

After a first test fire, it was clear it wasn't getting enough airflow. I added a second adjustable vent on the other side and a row of permanently open holes at the front.

Check out the episode linked at the end where I install it in my cabin in the woods, and if you're interested how that's going click subscribe!

Thanks for watching, take care!
