Tire Rim Stove - January Idea of the Month

Cooking and heating in emergency situations is very important. If you don't have the means to purchase a stove or propane to store for emergencies or if a disaster has already happened and you are scrambling for something, here is another option.

You can make a small wood stove from a 16 inch truck tire rim and whatever other metal pieces you can find.  

*Some welding is required*
Cut the center out of the tire rim.

Weld a round steel plate to the top and bottom of the rim

Add metal legs to the bottom.

Cut the door out of the side of the rim.
You can use the piece you cut out or a different piece of metal for the door. 

Add hinges and a handle to the door piece. 

Cut a hole in the top and add the exhaust pipe.

       There you have a stove you can use for heating your shelter.
