Look, you can burn some wood the old fashioned way, in a good old classic wood burning stove. Or you can spend a not-too-ridiculous amount of money and do the same thing in something that’ll at least get you a couple of amused nudges at your next garden party. Or wherever it is that you’d wanna use and display this thing. It’s made by a company called “Burned by Design LTD”, and each stove appears to be carved out of a propane tank, with metal pipes and bits welded on. Prices start at $460, and go up to $995 depending on the design, which include Storm Trooper, Boba Fett, R2D2, and Alien Xenomorph, as pictured. That one’s $995, incidentally.

As a writer, it’s nearly impossible to resist the temptation to make Star Wars puns when writing Star Wars related headlines. Our apologies for that. But, unnecessary apologies aside, it’s a pretty cool project you’re looking at. Instructables user “doddieszoomer” took an old bottle of propane, a grinder, a welder and a marker, and created a wood burning stove that would look great in anyone’s backyard. The Instructables link below gives you a step by step, and it looks like the kind of thing easily accomplished in an afternoon by any moderately capable handyman.
