scrap woodburning stove wanted

[david wood]

Hey folks,

 

wondering if anyone within not too many miles of aberdeenshire or 100 miles roughly has a scrap woodburner kicking around.

 

its for a friend to heat his garage when fixing car.

 

obviously am aware of all risks of scrap stove etc but hey most things can be welded up to be safe for a windy garage.

 

either forum donation or cash waiting

I might know a man with one sitting outside as he recently fitted a new one but not sure what he is asking for it but I can find out if you want?

[david wood]

that would be great guss

 

did have a look on ebay but guess its wrong time of year as prices soaring. collection is easy for us and would be cash

[Guss109]

No problem David drop us a pm tomorrow to mind me about it and il give you a shout when I know more of if he's still got it

[mechtrev]

why not make one from an old gas cylinder if your mate handy @ welding, plenty of old cylinders kicking around

[david wood]

to be honest trev - cowards to go hacking into a cylinder...

 

seen lots of pics, a few how to do guides and neither of us can bring ourselves to go for it

[mechtrev]

easy open tap and leave for a day then drill holes at corners wher cutouts need to be then attack with gas axe, won't explode as any surplus gascan escape

Or, if you'd like to opt out of the death and maiming , take the tap off, fill it with water then empty it again and presto! guaranteed gas-free!

As Rover said, then use a Jigsaw with a metal cutting blade to cut into the four holes, cuts as easy as plywood. Cut hole in top too. weld some butt hinges back on piece you cut out to make door. best stove ever. Can post a pic of mine if you want.

We had a go but left it full of water for a month. When we emptied it ready to cut it still reeked of gas so we filled it up with water again and cut it with the water in. More likely to be electrocuted than blown up but at least it wouldn't damage the shed.
