For those wishing to extend the camping season into the cold months, the October 1937 issue of Popular Science showed how to make this lightweight wood stove for your tent.  If you need a lightweight wood stove for use in emergencies, it would serve that purpose as well.

It’s designed to burn with low oxygen, so when you get it started with kindling, you put in logs, and they give off most of their heat after they’re turned into charcoal. The result is that you can build the fire at night, it will keep you warm all night, and then you can cook your pancakes in the morning. The stove also features a small oven compartment.

It’s made out of sheet metal and riveted together, so it’s lightweight.

If you don’t feel up to building your own, the one shown here is available on Amazon at a reasonable price. And if you don’t want to cut a hole in your tent for the chimney, you can get a propane or kerosene heater that’s safe for indoor use. For more details, you can see our earlier post.
