British Man Creates Adorable Hippie Van-Inspired Wood Burner
The Volkswagen Type 2, aka the Hippie Van, is an iconic vehicle that needs no introduction. Its two-tone design is a staple of the hippie culture and you’ve most likely seen it in countless photos from the 1960s. Inspired by this iconic design, British metal fabricator Danny Lyons of Trash Metal Fabrications has put together an adorable little wood burner and you’ll definitely want one in your back yard.
Each one of the handcrafted burners features everything you would find on a real Volkswagen camper van – from the iconic “V” shape in the front and the large VW logo to the split front window and tiny round side-view mirrors.

Each one of Danny’s burners is painted in heat-resistant paint and can withstand temperatures of up to 650 °C (1200 °F).

The wood burner even features a grate on top so you can boil water or cook a meal when you’re out camping.

The prices of these wood burners range from £225 ($282) to £275 ($345) and if you want to order one, you better hurry up – I’m pretty sure they’re selling out fast!
