HPG Shepherd Stove

[renagde]

I have 18” material on order so I should be able to have an 18” deep version made in a few weeks.

Has anyone found a bag that works for this?

I found a random lightweight rip stop zip bag pretty much the exact dimensions of the stove folded, cost me like 10 bucks for the 3 pack pack of assorted sizes. I'll try and get a brand name when I get home. Might switch to a flimsy laptop case though.

I haven’t. I know @FrankieP1988 (Catamount OG) makes a top load stash pocket that might work. Also, @pods8 (Rugged Stitching) is a forum sponsor, he could probably make a custom bag for it.

Was thinking of running a stash pocket but the center zip was an issue. Thanks for the catamount suggestion. I can do a little sewing so might also consider putting something together myself.

Sneak peek of the big brother. We’ll call this one “The Stretch”. Firebox size is 8” wide, 18” deep.

I made a prototype that looks very similar to this out of posterboard about ten years ago. Different door and leg design, but the body is spot on. I just didn't have the material or metal fabrication skills to pull it off. Looks good.

What weight are we looking at for the big one?

Don’t know for sure yet but I think I was at 38oz with the 12” version and 7’ of stove pipe. This should only be 3-4oz more at the most.

Burned it in today, everything is good to go. The 12" is nice if you're pinching ounces but the 18" can hold just about anything. Stuff it full and it burns for a few hours if it's dampened down the whole way. I also went to a thicker material for the belly so there is plenty of strength to hold the bigger logs.

First burn with the 18" set up, was -10C outside, tent was hot enough to wear a t shirt. Burned for about 2.5 hours once packed full.

Awesome picture man! Thanks for the update.

Realized pretty quick if you have it buckin with the door off and the damper wide open it draws fast enough to shoot big sparks out the top of our 9ft stove pipe

I'm still thinking about this 18" stove! Just need to procure funds.

Do you happen to have a total weight of the stove, minus stove pipe?

@renagde ?

Also, do you make a spark arrestor for it or would that just be acquired from one of the stove vendors?

Just the stove without stove pipe or damper is 27.25oz on my scales. That’s the 18” version.

I also make a damper setup that is very similar to the Seek damper.

I have a couple 12" and 18" stoves laying around in case someone is looking for a stove for the upcoming season.
