Swiss man installs wood-burning stove in his Volvo

My kind of guy, a real problem solver. Wood stoves are not dangerous. Remember the old gasoline fired stoves in VWs?

Swe-e-e-e-e-eT! He MUST not be married!!!!!!

Hope he has CO detector/alarm!

My "Lil Buddy" camping heater supplies enough heat to keep an entire vehicle warm and is a lot safer. Uses little propane gas bottles, burns 99% pure, and has an oxygen sensor to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Automatically turns off if it gets tipped over. Why would anyone in their right mind put a wood burning stove in their vehicle?

Lionel: I remember in the 1960's I rode around Albany NY in a VW bus for a couple of winters with a German Ever-spark gasoline heater in it. Dealer option, kinda expensive, but it worked OK. Defrost the whole rig in 4-5 minutes.

Good 'ole Volvo with their strong cars...this dude got it right!

I wonder if he knows that he can run his car on the smoke from the stove? The technique has been around since WW II.

My wife and I spent the winter of 66-67 in Toronto and our Karman Ghia had no heater. It was surprisingly warm after lighting wooden "safety" matches in the ash tray. Took about 20 matches for my brief commute to campus.

That is smart and stupid all at the same time.

cool

What's wrong with the car heater?

I sure hope he doesnt have a bad accident and that thing ruptures. We are talkin fried Swiss.

google wood gas vehicles of WWII

The first thought which came to mind was......Although no-one ever PLANS on having an auto accident---the happen. With this firebox right next to him......he's condemned himself to a very painful fiery death if he has even a minor vehicle accident or runs off the road into a ditch because of icy conditions.
Perhaps he's a Bhuddist monk?

I hope he doesn't spill his vodka and burn up.

if its that cold i stay at home

I had a Volvo S60-R once. Biggest piece of crap I ever owned. (And I've owned some crappy American cars back in the 1980's, too.) Volvo = Ford rejects.

Obviously the wife has been banished to the back seat....!

Where does yahoo get this crap?

i can just see him when he loses control on a slick turn, rolls the car and ends up with the hot stove in his lap. He'll probably look and feel like the underwear bomber. Now if he was here in the States, instead of Switzerland, he'd probably sue somebody for damages when that happens.
