Popular book up here!

This book is a popular book up here (Alaska) and many of the stoves are in wide use in remote cabins. A very practical, hands on book for anyone interested in constructing their own economical wood stove. Quite thorough and well illustrated but somewhat dated as are most books in the do-it-yourself outdoors genre.

Excellent guide to making low,low cost stoves

In this book the Author gives a good overview of stoves for heating a small space and excellent information on dealing with a wood stove as a sole heat source. Then, where he really takes off is on MAKING very simple stoves out of oil drums, old tins or used gas tanks. What had before seemed to me a difficult or near impossible task, was quickly transformed into a very do-able thing. For use as a cabin or garage heater, a stove to use in a large tent, or as the Author suggests, as an emergency stove, this is the way to go.
