That's a cute little stove. Is it something that you put together? What does it use for fuel? Looks like you could cook on it too. Thanks

Dean -- The weather here (just east of Chickasha) will be cold this next week, but in the 60's by the weekend. Chances are it will be OK by the time the swap meet rolls around.

That stove looks a lot like one my neighbor had in his garage. The one he had used wood and was used in a caboose for heat and warming chow. Looks great! JD

Very awesome, but please have a CO2 detector onboard.

I believe that would be CO (carbon monoxide)....have a CO2 detector onboard.

Maybe a CO2 detector to make sure you're still alive.Steve Jelf wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 11:44 amI believe that would be CO (carbon monoxide)....have a CO2 detector onboard.

I have had a loft at the front of my last (2) enclosed trailers.
Sometimes I have had to sleep up there in sub zero temperatures.
Rather than heat the surrounding area - I layer sleeping bags over me
and take a large sturdy plastic tote & turn it on it’s side - put my pillow
in it and then drape a blanket over it.
With some adjustment you have the perfect blend of fresh air and ventilation
to exchange the carbon dioxide you breathe out with the air you breathe in.
Your body is a great little furnace that generates sufficient heat to provide
adequate warmth to keep you quite comfortable if you insulate it correctly.
Headaches you may get while sleeping in the cold are usually caused by
inhaling the carbon dioxide you exhale out during respiration.
