Food cooked outdoors always tastes much better, in my opinion. I really love cooking in the garden and for this I made a special mini stove. It turned out much better than the store bought one and looks beautiful.
Making a stove from a gas cylinder
We take a small gas cylinder, empty of course. Open the valve and release the remaining gas. Everything should be done only outdoors.
Next, it is necessary to fill the cylinder with water completely so that the remaining gas comes out. This step cannot be skipped for security reasons.
Then, using masking tape, I measured out a strip along which the door would be cut. I drilled holes for the hinges and already cut out the door.
I drilled large holes in the bottom of the cylinder to supply air during combustion.
I attached the door to its hinges and screwed in the bolt to lock it. I made a cutout from the top to weld in a thick and even plate. Thanks to which the heating will be even and you can place a frying pan or saucepan on it.
We weld the plate. I make the chimney from a square profile at an angle.
In order for the oven door to close more tightly, steel strips were welded around the perimeter of the door.
A grate was welded inside from thick rods. Wood will burn on it, and the ash will fall through the grate down to the bottom of the stove.
It was decided to make a narrow viewing window in the door so that it would be pleasant to watch the process of burning wood.
For elevation, I welded legs from profile pieces. I cleaned all surfaces before painting, removing old paint.
Painted with fire-resistant, fire-resistant paint. This is what motorists use to paint the exhaust manifold of their cars.
Result
This is such a beautiful stove that we ended up with. It looks very cute and attractive.
It's very pleasant to cook. Its miniature size gives great advantages. For example, it can be moved anywhere without any problems.
Cleaning the bottom of ash is very simple, just tilt it and all the ash will fall out.
