Car Wheel Fire Door For Wood Stove
We needed a fire door for the wood stove I built out of a big propane tank. I got the idea of using a car wheel because they’re made well. It’s hinged and sealed off with a welded sheet of steel plate. We open and shut it with a hinged rod that hooks into a latch on the side of the stove. We use the opening for stoking the fire and for cleanout. A fireproof chamber from which heated air is drawn into the home surrounds the stove. No smoke or ash ever gets inside.
