Not long ago, my friends and I stumbled upon an abandoned gas stove at a local dumpsite. It was clear that it had long since stopped working, and most people would have walked right past it. But instead of ignoring it, we saw potential—what if we could turn it into something useful?
With that idea in mind, we hauled the stove back home, eager to see what we could create. Once we got a closer look, we quickly came up with a plan and got to work.
Transforming the Old Stove
The first step was removing the stovetop, separating it from the burners. Then, we cut a rectangular opening in the oven section to serve as a smoke vent. Surprisingly, those were the only major modifications we needed to make. A little effort, and the results were far better than we expected!
A New Purpose for an Old Appliance
To our delight, the revamped stove turned out to be incredibly practical. It boiled water much faster than a regular campfire, and its structure made it easy to place pots and pans securely.
But the best part? It also worked as a fantastic barbecue grill—perfect for cooking up delicious, smoky meat!
From Trash to Treasure
What started as discarded junk became a fully functional outdoor cooking station, perfect for our summerhouse. This experience reminded us that old, forgotten items can often be given a second life—sometimes in ways you’d never expect!
