Ammo Can stove

[TJ-Bill]

I'm thinking about making one of these..

Homemade Ammo Box Woodburner Stove - YouTube



I'm debating on 2 different designs..

1. having the top open so I can us it as a grill

2. have the bottom open so I can easily remove the ash.

other points I'm thinking about is if I should install the exhaust on the top or at the back using a 90 degree bend..

I guess my main goal is to get as much heat from this little bad boy as possible..

anyone have any suggestions?

I plan on making a raised bottom so air can get to the back of the fire so it's burn more efficiently. And adding a deflect on the top so the hot air doesn't go straight out the exhaust..

thanks

Make sure the ammo can does not have any zinc chromate primer on it.
