following on from THIS thread..............

my attempt at making a wood burner from an old gas bottle,

took a few days to pluck up the courage to make the first cut, went ok in the end

decided to try it out on the coldest day of the year !!!

i made one of these year or so ago for burning saw dust using a gas bottle, an old land rover brake disk and some kind of old solid cast steel wheel as a lid! works briliantly. it has a pipe to feed preheated air to the bottom which is needed for saw dust.
a good tip- if you are burning saw dust drop a piece of 3" pipe into the stove and sit it against the feed pipe, and ram the saw dust around it. the pull out the pipe and push a rod through the feed pipe to open up a hole.
now when you light the fire make sure you get embers down into the hole that you created and in will burn like a rocket from the get go!
