building a stove

[Patrick62]

Oh it will be a cobble, but I'm ok with that. Searched around the yard and found a old propane tank. Drained off the last of the propane... and then today I decided to get started on this.
I usually have a little anxiety when lighting a acetylene torch and gonna chop into a propane tank. It always smells like you are gonna blow yourself to kingdom come.

How it burn with that secondary air injection? Been considering adding a tube to my current furnace. I've read good things, but never actually asked anyone....

Air compressor is just a honking big 80 gallon tank, plain old Sanborn style compressor on it. It is kind of loud, but makes air. I wonder if I paid extra to get the fancy DeWalt paint job?
U&A, you are a fantastic stove builder!
I am a rank amateur when it comes to fabrication. I can stick two pieces of metal together...

It worked great. Sucks the air in perfectly

It held a piece of paper sucked to the bottom of the tube from incoming air

Ok, It is completed. Untested... but completed.
Gawd I had forgotten how much fun it is to just "create"
Air dial worked out pretty nicely, only a little tweakage to get it to close flat. Not a lotta measuring on this, just eyeballing it out. Function over form.
I will burn the thing, and then, maybe... black the thing. but on the other hand... just leave it?
This is going into the Chainsaw Sharpening Shed !!! remember that thread?

One I made for my Grandson. He didn't like the fire so I painted it up.
