What you’ll need

  • MIG or flux-core welder (a 120 V machine handles 10 ga)
  • Angle grinder with a flap disc
  • Two small clamps
  • Rubber mallet
  • Welding helmet, gloves, jacket and safety glasses

Finishing

  • The parts ship bare with a light oil film. Wipe them down with a degreaser before welding.
  • Grind the box and skirt corner welds smooth, and break the griddle plate's edges.
  • Season the griddle plate like cast iron: scrub it, wipe on a thin coat of high-smoke-point oil, and heat it on the stove until it stops smoking. Repeat two or three times.
  • Leave the box, skirt and collar bare, or paint their outsides with 1200 F high-heat paint.
  • Store the plate dry with a light coat of oil. The skirt nests inside the griddle box.

Safety

  • Outdoors only. A wood fire makes carbon monoxide: never cook in a tent, vehicle, camper, garage or under an awning.
  • Set the stove on level bare ground, gravel or stone first. Never use it on a table, a tailgate or a deck.
  • The plate, box, skirt and collar all get hot enough to burn. Use heat-resistant gloves and a long spatula.
  • Keep the cooking centered. Don't lean on the griddle or set heavy pans on its edge, and never move the stove while it's lit.
  • Scrape grease off as you cook. If grease catches fire, smother it with a lid or baking soda; never use water.
  • Many campgrounds and public lands ban wood fires and stoves during fire restrictions. Check before every fire.
  • Let everything cool completely before you take it off the stove or pack it.
