HOW TO: Wood burning stove built from Heineken 5L mini keg

[averageiowaguy]

I finally executed a long standing plan to build a wood burning stove from a Heineken 5L mini keg. It works pretty well. I can cook on it and it is fairly efficient in terms of wood use. I'm planning on making another one. Any suggestions on improvements would be awesome. One thing I was thinking was to turn it on the side and flatten the top as a cook surface. It could hold more and longer wood that way I think.

I've gotten some PM's requesting photos. Sorry I didn't think of that earlier. A lot of people have trouble getting videos to play.

Nice. I forgot to grab the keg from our last office party. I was thinking of making a giant alcohol stove
