Potbelly stoves are needed not only as a heat source. Such stoves can be used for cooking, boiling water and a steam bath. Such a stove will be useful for cottages. How to make a bourgeois stove in home conditions, you can find out in this review.
Let's start by watching the author’s video
We will need:
- sheet metal;
- drill or screwdriver;
- an empty spray can of gas or spray paint;
- file;
- bolts.
Two strips must be cut from sheet metal. The first strip should be slightly larger than the second.
We twist the cut strips into cylinders.
The main part in which it will be possible to put firewood can be made from an empty spray can. Do not forget to first release the remainder of the gas or paint so that the can does not explode during operation. All you need to do is cut the upper and lower parts of the spray can, thus obtaining a tube.
We remove excess metal with a file.
We make two holes on each cylinder with a drill or a screwdriver.
We fix the cylinders with bolts. Note that the first cylinder made of a large piece should have a larger diameter.
On the side of the large cylinder you need to make a hole for the spray can.
We do the same with the second cylinder.
We collect all the details in one piece. We install the can in the large cylinder, and then in the small one, which in turn is installed inside the large one.
The stove is ready. Glass wool should be inserted between the large and small cylinders to maintain heat in the furnace.
