Made these 2 stoves up the last couple of weeks. They are not fancy, but I have burnt them both twice and performed very well. The smaller rectangular one was made for a pack box and measures 14" X 14" X 21" and is also shown dismantled. Takes about 7 minutes to put together. The larger one is 18" in diameter and 24" deep.

nice work, really look good, great idea for disassembly... looks like a nice finishing touch with horse shoe legs on the cylindrical stove.

those stoves look like they should do the job. I have made a few myself for packing over the years, stove wieght was always my problem when packing. just wondering what kind of weight you got with yours.

Don't know what the big one weighs (50 lbs?) but the little one is just under 40 lbs. I started out with a goal of 30 lbs but with the steel I wanted in it it got a liitle heavy. I was using a real tinny piece of junk before and it weighed around 15 lbs. but never was very good and warped really bad.

Look great! The old airtights are nice for being light but to me they always seem so fragile and tend to burn out after steady use.
One thing you might want to give consideration to is an adjustable vent in the door to help control your burn.

It is hard to make a pack stove that works for all seasons that is light. We ended up making three differnt designs one for summer that folds down weighs in at 25 lbs with pipe. The second for fall that weighs in at 35 lbs with pipe that is triangular shape with drying racks on the sides. The third is for winter weighs in at 50 lbs with pipe and drying rack. That was the soultion for me couldn"t make just one that do the job for all seasons. Hope yours does the job for you.

There are adjustable air intakes on both stoves on the right hand sides.
