Many Thanks!

But....one question!
The picture of the bottom opening shows what looks like a grill or screen inside of the pipe.
How far inside does it extend? And is it filling the entire diameter of the pipe?
If it does, I'm guessing it keeps stuff from being sucked up all the way?

Again, Thanks!
I have some ammo cans and I'm looking forward to making myself a stove, and making several as gifts to preppers I know!

The grate, I used what’s called a mending plate (4”X6”) raise the fuel up and allows air to flow around it making for a more complete burn, but it could easely be cut from a scrap piece of steel mesh.

As noted by other FReepers make sure you do what I did and use black stove pipe, you should ever use gavinized pipe.
