Craft Your Own Wood Stove

Course Overview

Not just any ordinary wood stove, this stove “will keep you warm on a four-dog night,” as the story goes. In this course you'll craft your own time-tested portable trail stove with Don Kevilus, the proprietor and owner of the renowned Four Dog Stove Company. Tested in field conditions in the USA and Canada in temperatures to -50 degrees, these stoves are suitable for heating a 10’ x 12’ wall tent. The finished stove will weigh about 25 lbs and measures 11" x 11" x 22". You will learn basic tin-craft skills and stove construction techniques, including use of a hand break and kick shear, to bend, cut and rivet together a portable stove. The stove will have a 4" flue opening, reinforced fire box, stove pipe, damper, double stove bottom, removable side shelf, and choice of snow legs or folding legs. By the end of this course, your stove will be ready to be fired and keep you warm on a "four-dog night."
