not bad, I've seen guys make-em the other way too. Yours looks like a martian unit from Bugs Bunny! Keep-up the good work.

I have made a few out of propane tanks.The one currently in use is a 40 lb on it side, door cut in the end, I'm in the process of making one out of a stainless beer keg.

Very nice heater. I saw those at the outdoor show and thought it would be a cool idea to make too. I also saw a wood heater for a hot tub there that sparked my interest. How did you cut the door?

have not used it yet i still want to weld a inset plate behind the door to seal it properly whenit is closed then it is done but i can still use it. it just might leak a bit of smoke from the door right now. i just used a drill and a alectrick saw to cut it open. ya i seen them at the outdoor show too so i made my own. took a day at work making it on my spare time. i am going to make another one a bit different.
