All and all a nice setup. I'm sure it will take the chill off and maybe even get warm enough to dry clothes.

Now from the cheapseats..........hope you don't mind some suggestions.

28 ga. is thin. I would add a grate to the bottom of the firebox - or should I say firetube. It's not a big firebox and you will not get roaring fire going, but, I'd be concerned about burning a hole in the bottom. A grate will stop this possibility. The fire will also burn better with some air from under the grate. You'll quite likely have to leave the door open without any draught holes, but this no problem. Just make sure there is nothing combustible in front that sparks will land on.

The stove pipe will need to be supported on the outside. I'd be concerned that any amount of wind could dislodge the pipe from the firebox and that would be a huge hazard. What are Kifari (sp) using on their teepee hot tents?

Now for the legs / supports. How about some 16 ga aluminum say about 12" high and 9" wide. Cut a hole large enough for the firetube to fit through. Two of these will support the firetube and provide a flat surface to put a pot over the firetube. You might need a couple of those spikes on top to act as kind of a grate for a flat surface for a pot. It may not get hot enough to boil, but it will melt snow.

What kind of bird dog is that? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
