Homemade Gas Bottle Log Burner

What a marvellous idea, I would leave it as it is, black would look very nice though.
I’m thinking you might have the makings of a smoker there too.

Gosh- for some reason I missed this!

That looks brill!
Well done!

Have you tried it out at the lottie yet??

Yeah Bigmally, it is nervy and I should point out to everyone that.......

Safety is a BIG issue if you plan on making one of these, LOTS of research/reading required on how to be sure you have expelled all the gas from the bottle prior to cutting. If you are not sure DON'T DO IT!

Having made several of these - the important thing is - TO UNSCREW THE VALVE AND FILL IT WITH WATER TO FLUSH IT OUT BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO CUT IT.
I know someone who didn't and he's now in a wheelchair.

^^^^^ thanks for sharing that!

***As said previously...don't even think about doing this yourself unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing! ***

I'm surprised Snadge hasn't contributed to this thread as I'm sure he made one.

[Nicos]

He did indeed!
