Default Turn An Old 20 Gal. Propane Tank Into A Wood Burning Stove

Looks easy and might work in a tent for camping.

But, if this fails, these used propane tanks are great targets for long range shooting. They make an audible sound when hit which you can hear at least 400 yards away.

I guess if you are heating a closet it would be okay. You would have to set in front of it and feed it to keep you warm. That is a 5 gallon tank or a 20 pounder. The guy that made the video is trying to kill himself or its sarcasm. We heat the ranch with wood and propane. Any stove worth spit should be able to handle a 24 inch long log and be able to shut the heat down with louvers or dampeners.

He has to disassemble the tank from the wall to clean out the ashes.

Too small - too many cuts on wood so it will fit

30 gallon / 55 gallon are cheap

Lucky he didn’t blow his face off. Just doesn’t seem worth it for as little heat as that’s going to put out.

Pretty sure that's supposed to be a 20# tank, which holds 5 gallons. I think..
