Do you need a place to enjoy the fall evening? Are you sick of having to go back inside just because the weather has started to cool off? Then perhaps you should take a few steps to learn how to make an outdoor wood-burning stove. A simple wood burning stove is an easy addition to any backyard. Not only does it offer a place to sit around and chat with the family, it makes a great marshmallow roaster! Sound like a good idea? Then read on and you can find out just how to make an outdoor wood burning stove.
The best spot for an outdoor wood burning stove is away from the house, trees, barns, sheds etc. You don't want it anywhere there is a chance of a stray ember causing a fire.
Built In Microwave
Once you've found a great location for the new stove you'll need to dig up all the vegetation around where it will go.
Once you've removed all the vegetation smooth and tamp the ground down so it's a nice flat surface to build the outdoor wood burning stove on.
Brick pavers are a really attractive way to set up the foundation. Simply place pavers where you dug out in whatever pattern you like.
Pour a layer of sand between the pavers to help secure them and prevent any wobbling.
Now that you have an attractive foundation it's time to get started on the fun part, the build.
Pick up a 55-gallon drum from the hardware store or for a cheaper option try a recycling yard. If you go the recycling yard route make sure the drum hasn't held anything that will cause toxic smoke when exposed to heat.
Remove the drum lid and set it aside for later.
Cut a small hole in the base of the drum so you can remove ash.
Center the drum on the paver pad.
Start stacking curved pavers around the outside of the drum. What you're shooting for here is a complete circle around the 55-gallon drum. Leave a space on the backside of the drum for the ash clean out.
Be sure that each level is tight and flush. You don't want the bricks to collapse.
Keep stacking until you're about 4 inches from the top of the drum.
That's all there is to it. Keep repeating until you reach the top of your new outdoor wood burning stove.
You can use the top of the drum as a lid when you're ready to put out your fire.
All that's left to do is fill your new outdoor wood burning stove with some firewood and a little bit of paper to get it going. Simply light the paper through the cleanout hole and you're ready for a great evening.
The bricks will trap and retain heat keeping you toasty warm on the most brisk fall nights. Not only have you learned how to make an outdoor wood burning stove, you've built a great seating area around it.
