gas bottle log burner

If I had to be picky, . . . I'd say the hinges could have been welded on the inside of the construction. and where is the flat top to heat the kettle A very good bit of recycling. Cheers, Tony.

Nice :)
Did you build it yourself and where's the chimney ?
-
Chimney is out the back. Wanted a flat top but could not find any really thick steel. We can heat a kettle no problem .The problem is
It’s to blooming hot in the allotment shed now. It’s our first try at one and must say they work really well going to make a bigger on for outside soon.

Great mate, I'd be well pleased with that.

Looks great, be careful it does not cause the shed to smoulder and burn down. This does happen to log burners in houses.

I have cut a bottle a week or so ago, just waiting for a mate of mine to weld it back together lol we are going Chiminea type just so we can get rid of bits and bobs on the plot.

Whay a great bit of kit Burbage!
Marvellous and looks very well thought out and well made!

Now there's a thought,
If I can get hold of one of those 'fat' gas bottles, not the tall slimmer ones, I'll see if I can make an incinerator. :happy:
It may save trips to the tip, and I then could put the 'cooked' soil back on the land....

shame you don't live near me - we have several of the taller ones and the shorter ones. We cant return them as the companies for these bottles no longer exist :(

Our local recycling centre accepts them. But they won't give you one to 'recycle', or even use as a deposit on a new one. :tongue2:
Could you not take yours to one?

Joy, they're being pinched by metal thieves in some places, (it was on our local news the other evening!
You may get a price for them from a licensed dealer!
And he'd take them away!

The next one I make is for outside it’s a much larger bottle about 4ft. ill get some pics up soon.

the majority of yards will not and should not take them if they are complete, they usually have signs showing no pressurised containers and pictures of various gas bottles. They will take them once they have had the regulators taken off and then purged for a very long time by filling with water.
Whilst propane isn't as flammable as some gasses you do still need to be careful.
Having said that we do have several free to anybody - assorted sizes including the large 47kgs. The companies are no longer in existence so nobody to return them to. i will have to check out our local amenity site.
-
Scrap yards will not take them if they are even recognisable as gas bottles they have to be cut up now into at least 6 parts a leading supplier will sue any one defacing one of there bottles
