Keep an eye on your patches, my 50 eats patches no matter the charge or patch material,and needed to have an overpowder buffer, I use corn meal. My 54 doesn't need the overpowder buffer till 40 grains and over.I would take the lock out...

    pyramid tent stove

    only problem is the barrel stoves i've used were designed to vent vertically, the pipe connections are loose and any change in direction will cause smoke to back up in the pipe and enter the tent.
