Aren’t there times when you wished you just walk outside on and fire up the stove to make a delicious meal for you and your loved ones? The DIY solution to having an outdoor cooking device ready for any event, either lunch with friends or just a nice dinner with the family, will surely impress! The cook top wood stove you see in the picture is made from a regular 55 gallon drum. Sure, there is a decent amount of work put into the whole thing, but the result is both stylish and useful. Making sure you end up with a similar stove will depend on your ability to stay concentrated and follow the instructions in the video. Just gather all the required list of materials, as well as protective gear. Watch the video and learn all there is to know about transforming a 55-gallon drum into a working cook top wood stove, right in your back yard.
It’s very important to keep in mind that when there isn’t sufficient oxygen for a fire to breath, there will not be a fire at all. Including ventilation will greatly increase your chances of maintaining and even controlling your heat.
I’m just wondering if that is gasoline in the gas can right next to where you are grinding?
Cool project through. Thanks for sharing and not blowing yourself up.
Do you have a materials list? How much would you charge to build me one? I would want one modification. The installation of a 60 foot copper coil to the bottom of the cook top with an inlet for cool water coming in and an outlet for hot water coming out. This would replace my current wood-burning pool heater!
This is a brilliant idea for traditional cooktop. Will try to make one and share it here.
