Behold the humble BBQ bottle.

NOTE : After you remove valve before you attempt any metal works give the bottle a good couple of flushing outs of water.
The chimney hole is oval, due to curved surface.

The chimney is a piece of 50mm water pipe.

A piece of 50 x 50 x 5 angle welded in place. Everything you see used is scrap.
A piece of flat welded inside the door cavity to stop the door from closing to far and a another piece of flat for the latch.

This is a nice little project I may try myself. Could possibly be set up for either a grill / plate on top or an interchangeable collar to house a camp oven. Best of both worlds!!

Legs to be made over the weekend and chimney extensions from local exhaust shop hopefully. All going to plan
legs, chimney, etc will all fit inside wood heater. The complete unit will then live in an old milk crate for easy transport.

If anyone has questions feel free to ask, if you require a better picture of a particular piece just ask away. Will post final
pictures when completed.
Remember that there is no such thing as a failed project, it's just part of a larger learning curve so imagine away and
go for it.
