I have just finally found the time to put together MK 2.
Still have some minor issues to work through.
The rolled 0.4mm stainless steel flue is my custom made. Works well and I now need to make up another 5 or 6 sections to be high enough for tent.
They are short enough to pack down and fit inside the stove body for transport.
There will be a flue damper with an allen key welded on as the handle.
The allen key will be used for assembling the legs which had a cap screw for attaching to the legs.
So the damper will also function as a multi tool and it will be a lot harder to loose the allen key.
Door needs a catch and a bit of a tweak. But seems to work well and is big enough for decent sized wood and pine cones once the fire has a decent base of coals.
Bottom draft control was a mock up from aluminium and works well well so I will make a stainless one soon and it will have a stainless steel mesh screen attached for safety as will the top of the last flue section.
Whole kit with about 2m of flue sections and a pair of leather gloves ( to hold hot things ) will come in well under 5kg
