- Another drum / barrel stove with a little Red Poppy flare... These things are great. Best bang for the buck by far. Some people don't like them because they don't retain heat very well. I will likely line the stove with a bunch of fire bricks in the future. I like this thing enough to put it in the front room. A little rustic like me...

I know this video is old. But a few suggestions as I have made similar set-ups with great success. Get some fire brick and line the bottom barrel up halfway. Holds more heat and keeps it from burning out on the bottom. Run em long end from front to back as much as you can. And as high as gravity will hold them. You can also buy a non asbestos product to seal your flues and dampers. Now....you want to really hotrod it? The Singer treadle was awesome. Good place for coffee, soup, bacon and eggs, or a pot of chili or pot roast. If you have or want water in your shop you can wrap the bottom or top barrel (bottom is the hottest) with copper tubing and hook a 12 volt car battery to run a re-circulating pump. Put a water heater in the shop disconnected and keep it circulating. Endless hot water for free. You can power the pump battery off of a solar panel that won't cost much. I've done this and it works. In Virginia where I live is a place called Shirley Plantation on The James River. Built in the 1700s They had their chimney flue wrapped in pipe with a pump system. So the kitchen stove made hot water too. Best of luck brother. It ain't too hard to stop paying money. Keep your money, your guns, and your FREEDOM.
I got on this you tube video by accident and i was keen to watch it I love what was made.Please everyone that wants to do this be very careful a lot off people have been killed everywhere from cutting into a 44 gallon drum you have to make sure it has no residual flammable chemicals in it before you put a ignition source into it. If you are unsure fill it up with water before you cut it.It may save your life
In addition to that, be sure you KNOW what was in the barrel during it's useful lifetime, or pass it by. Some chemicals can kill you fast, or slow at trace levels. Just because it says "Diesel" on a label doesn't mean that was the only thing ever stored in it.
Finn CZ fill it with water and dawn dish washing liquid. Fill it until it over flows. Let it sit over night. Drain and rinse again. That should lower the risk of an explosion.

True.
I was thinking of writing this until I found this comment.
Well said
Ruger is such a special dog. How fortunate you are to enjoy such a rewarding relationship. My beautiful puppy passed away last year after I rescued her 15 years ago and I still miss my girl.
She will be waiting for you when you pass. 🇨🇦
My dad and I had one in our Radiator Shop, 30 years ago... we had the double barrel option. One day the Hardware next door was being re-plumbed, and something that would never happen today, they threw out a bunch of 1 1/4 copper pipe, we grabbed it, hole sawed about a dozen holes in either end of the top barrel, and brazed the pipe into them. Then we put 1/4 inch eyelet bolts into the lip on either end of the barrel, put some pipe with caps thru the eyelets , with about 18 inches of over hang. The pipe would slide (the overhang) to either end, and we'd put a box fan on it, to move the heat which ever way we wanted it to go. It headed a two bay with large work area, Radiator shop!
Without our dogs to accompany us, the great times wouldn't be so good and the tough times would be unbearable.
Looks like you have an irreplaceable, devoted friend there with you.
Thanks for sharing your stove build with us.
Thanks Ron! Yep. He's my buddy! He's a lot like me. Easily distracted, disappears from time to time, a little stinky etc but he's a keeper.
Love what you did with the Singer footplate. I've a lot of fond memories around those old sewing machines.
Beautiful, I made three of them yesterday one for the house, one for the greenhouse and one for the barn. Thanks.
I have one in my shop, I lined the bottom with fire brick and installed a old fireplace grate. It is almost 10 years old. Best wood stove I have had! Great heat!!
Love the use of the Singer sewing machine! Great recycling of antique parts!!
Thank you.
Good job. Turned out nice. This is one of my bucket list projects so thank you for increasing my knowledge today.
Very well done sir!! I like how you took the time to hit those edges. The pride is in the details you can't see!!
great job. you proved yourself a tradesman in your layout and handy work with the grinder.
Thanks for the compliment...
Thanks for showing how to do this with very few tools and no welding.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job . I like the singer treadle. . nice touch ! Thanks for sharing
love it, and especially how you let your 4 legged companion sit in your lap and spread the love, great video
You have to love those old singer treadle sewing machines. My mums was from the 30s, I can hear it now.
Jennifer Holden that is wonderful. Nice memory!
Cheap, simple and effective, it ticks all of my boxes. Great video, with minimal talking. You've just got another subscriber 👍
Genius. I have an old Singer sewing table like yours. Never ever would have thought to use the pedal like you did. Thank you.
Thank you Sebastian for the music! Lovely!
wow...you're amazing! I love this.
Who doesn't appreciate the hard productive creativity of a man? Good work brother.
women !!!!!!!! modern women .... generally nowaday
Buying a kit and putting it together isn't all that creative.
I love watching these videos. I grew up in the country, I now live in the suburbs. I miss the good ole days!!
My brother, THAT was an EXCELLENT video! Thank you for sharing !
An artist with the angle grinder...
That's what I was thinking
I agree, but he should have kept the guard on the machine.
MISANTHROPE1964 a masochist, I think. I coulda shoulda woulda done it in half the time, probably with a fifth the cutting wheels.
Great video! Its beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
Very good stove project you did. Didn't see any welding at all!. Love that. Great work! and cuts! Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been meaning to try this exact project. Thanks for posting it makes me a bit more comfortable starting.
Just want to say that I think it's awesome for a channel like yours to be growing! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Joe!
Love the idea of the old Singer treadle recycled for use atop the stove, a real nice touch.
Thank you!
Just LOVE people who are always thinking...and it looks good too. Impressive...thank you for sharing.
I like how you painted it... Even though it was going to be a barn stove... thanks for a great video... God bless!
Great build and video. The hot plate addition is a great idea.
Thank you!
Love all the action with minimal talking!!
What made the video for me was the Singer foot plate from the old sewing machine (I have one from my great grandmother) and you relaxing with your dog at the end. Great video.
That's AWESOME!! Brother. Thank you for this video. I'll definitely be doing this for my off grid cabin👍👍
That stove is beautiful. Thank you for the video. Good time lapse and camera placement. Also impressed with your freehand angle grinder skills.
Thank you Court!
Beautiful work! I liked the music too!
Thanks Lou!
Very, very nice! The Singer peddle is the icing on the cake!!
I was amazed at this video all in all, and I will build one for myself and my family being on such a tight budget this is absolutely a great answer to my heating needs...Thanks bunches !!!
nice work I think this will be my next project..
Dude that is awesome!
Man that's Awesome wood stove.
Awesome Video, thanks for sharing, you did a great Job!
Amazing job! Thanks for sharing!
I knew I watched this for a reason. The dog in your lap at the end was just icing on the cake. Who says you can't buy love.
He's the best...
Great stove. My Grandpa told me about one they build back in the day for a huntin cabin. Took a 15 gallon drum and put it inside a 55 gallon drum and then packed mud around the 15 gallon one. Great thermal mass. Once it was warm it was easy to keep warm..
I've seen guys take a 30 gal and put it in a 50 then pour concrete in between. One heavy stove but it never cools off!
@@RedPoppyRanch , it should be "refractory cement", in that case...
you made me think of my grandmother sewing and patching our jeans as kids...the song is beautiful...ty for sharing such a neat idea for a stove.
This is so awesome...what a beautiful life you are creating!
dude thats some great cutting. I've never seen that way of cutting a hole, like pie slices
I really like how it turned out.
Thank you. Me too!
wow , what a video!
Very nice. The Singer treadle is a nice touch. Good job. Thanks for the video.
Honestly looks like a work of art.
G'day RPR, Outstanding! You, sir, are a surgeon with that angle grinder. Great work. I'm in Oz but I'm going to try to get one of those kits. Thank you!
Best of luck Bill!
Favorite part is the dog chillin on your lap, love it when people love their animals. PS the stove is amazing as well.
Love that dog...
Awesome! Great DIY build!
Awesome build!!! And what a spoiled baby you have...lol. Gorgeous, precious pup indeed! Namaste.
Excellent video. I am buying one.
Nice job with the angle-grinder. It amazes me how good some people are with those things.
Took years to get comfortable with it.
Fuzzy Johnson At least when you miss, it self cauterizes. lol
"No mom, I'm not cutting myself. I'm into metal fabrication now." -"I don't care what kind of music you're into!"
Cuts into flesh like a buzz saw, real quick. Recent experience.
Tru-dat, when I first took my guard off, I went to Emergicenter for
stitches. Much more respect for the tool now, never got stung again.
Great job. This kind of video makes me smile.now I'm on the lookout for a proper barrel
Thanks Stan!
Great video!!! Bet the dog thanked you a lot as well. Both of you looked comfy sitting by the stove! Great job 👍.
It's wonderful how creative and self reliant people can be when not ham strung by California regulations. I love it...
Absolutely!
Love the doggy. Gettin his daddy love. Awe ...
Yep. He's a keeper.
That Singer sewing machine peddle is the nicest item added to a DIY woodstove. It brings some charm to another ward bland stove. Nice work!
Watching you work with that angle grinder was mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing.
I've made several of them over the years for myself in my shop , my barn and for friends... and we always put on a cook plate ....but I always used flat plate with angled edges which means on the front of the stove we always had a warming plate where we could keep coffee hot or bring water in a tea kettle to a boil
And if you put sand or gravel in the bottom as a liner the barrel will not burn out as quickly
" Brother " you read my mine, I was starting to doubt you but then you slowly brought the can of paint into focus and there it was in black and white...
Hi Heat THERE on the can for the world to see.😆😆😆
My Faith restored I proceeded, I started sharing your creation with everyone...😉😉😉
great job! simple and effective for low cost! Great music as well, in all WELL DONE...
Wonderful video! Great craftsmanship!
Great job...always place a port of water on top of the barrel to add humidity to the dry air produced by the barrel when heating a space, the pot of water acts as humidifier to help you keep your nostrils moist and breath better in a closed heated space.
I grew up in a 2 story, 5 bedroom house in mn that we heated exclusively with a barrel stove just like this one. Just put the stove in the basement and have a airflow vent between the basement and the upstairs floor. Just ad one more thing. A secondary heat blower from the chimney stove pipe that will harvest any heat going up the chimney.
If i recall correctly, over an average winter we burned an 8'x8'x8' stack of wood (maybe a little more.)
I really liked how you presented this video. No blabbering about how to do anything the video speaks for its self. it would be great if more presenters followed you.
GREAT VIDEO
I love this stove! Saved this video for hubby to see!
HAHAHAHA.......what a great idea. I remember my mother had an old "Singer" sewing machine. It was made out of black cast iron and solid oak. Back in them old days mom would buy paper clothing patterns at the local " F. W. Woolworth" store and made some beautiful clothes.
That’s a masterpiece great job I believe we all will be needing these to heat homes in the near future
And what a very sweet lap dog there! Great job.
Very nice practical and smart crafting!
Add a barrel on top and double your heating capacity. Outstanding ingenuity though. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Godspeed!
I've seen the double stacks. I may do this if it ends up in the shop. I'm thinking it may end up in the house... Ledoux... the last name of single most influential musician in my life... I'm sure you get his often.
I really like the Barrel-kit.. IF u cant Build one.. Buy one. One thing i dont like is I think Exhaust port should be on Rear round area of drum.. maybe 3/4 to 7/8 up from bottom. This way the drum will hold more heat instead of going directly Up stove pipe. All in all I really Like it. Nice job.
Howard Russell
hey howard, thanks for the idea
Ledoux? Artist? Can't find that music online.
Put the 2nd barrel on top with the stove pipe at the backend the heat will stay in better.
Love that Blue Grass Blues in the background!!! Awesome music. Cool design too, except it would be better if they made the kits to come with an ash drawer to make it easier to clean out. Great video.
Can you just add a diy ash drawer?
I use those roofing torches to start fires too. No more kindling needed! Great video and project. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful. Well done!
2:59 love this Heavy Swamp Blues
ive built and used many of these. only downside is they don't last real long. like a burn barrel they burn through. especially if you use hedge or high btu wood. best to clay the inside like you would clay a coal forge. or atleast put sand in bottom and fire brick up the sides, or they wont last all that great if you use them regularly. if just from time to time they will last awhile.
I think so too, just need that little extra
ghost r@ ider ft r. . Nnhb5@4
Yes this is true, but they are a good cheap solution for say a weekend cabin kind of thing, or a workshop in a not so cold climate.
I agree on the clay, but I'd say use some refractory cement, it is cheap-ish and easy to do, and the other thing I'd add is a rack on the inside to keep the burning wood over the bottom of the barrel, it would make it last longer, burn better and easier to clean out if you do it right. Speaking of a clean out, that is something else I'd add is another smaller door to clean the ash out of the barrel, yes a shovel works, but a clean out is much nicer.
Still for $60 and a few hours work, that is a great stove and the singer hot plate does make it a LOT more useful.
Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
I put about 1" of sand in the bottom, put firebrick over the top of that as well as firebrick about 8" up the sides. The barrel was still solid after 20 yrs.
Agree. But what is the point of this ? If its for heating then rocket stove with chimney to throw out the smoke is better option.
And you can cook over it too !
This one is just a wasteful way of doing it and you cannot use it inside your home nor to cook .
I Like This Good Job Steve thank you for Sharing!
Thanks David.
That’s fantastic, man! Great video and great end product. Well done.
excellent job 👍
I have the 2” bung on the bottom with a pipe for outside air intake.
Built and used a couple of nice Barrel Stoves back in the 1970s. Did the cutouts with a jig saw with metal cutting blades. Lined the bottom with fire bricks so as not to burn out the bottom. Also ran a hot water coil through the stove. You did a nice job!!!
Love the use of th treadel on top. Makes it one of a kind!
As a person who uses treadle sewing machines, cutting that frame up was "heresy." That being said, I think you did a fantastic job and the grate made it look truly vintage. Can't wait to build one for myself.
Tina Gallagher - - agreed, please share PIX if you pursue this project!
I saved it... It was going to the scrap yard.
Red Poppy Ranch = good save!
i agree that peddle was excellent repair salvage for another sewing table
Yeah man. I was going to say I love the save, and it's damn near my favourite part of the stove! Great job!
Fantastic!!! I love it, and yes, I would use that in my home too. Nothing better than wood heat. I would use some fire bricks and maybe a rack inside for the wood. Lasts much longer and much easier to light and also to clean out. You will have plenty of heat with that baby. Sheila
Thank you Sheila. I will find some fire bricks before it goes into full time action...
Sheila6325 I had one of these in my home, just add a few inches of dry river sand in the bottom stops it burning through, heated a 3000 sq ft house in Australia
Really awesome video, love the dog enjoying the fire with you at the end. thank you for sharing!
Love it.. Thanks for the idea for my shop...
Grade A number 1 class stove!!! Yes, it would probably handle any situation, but if placed in the house, might want to put a piece of steel on the floor with thick plywood under it and a sheet of aluminum in between to keep from torching your house. But you've probably already thought about that. Thanks !!! Think it's a great stove, and a percolator coffee pot would look right at home on Singer! 😌
And update your home owners insurance. You're probably not covered with one of those in there.
Cool. I did not know they made kits to turn barrels into stoves. The gauge thickness in newer metal barrels is a lot thinner than thickness of barrels past. You have this one now----but in the future when you have to replace the body, if you can find a non-rusted heavy barrel from the past it will last longer. Fire bricks and/or sand should also extend life of metal in the barrel and add to the thermal mass.
++1 on fire bricks
The thicker barrels are harder to find but I'm going to keep an eye out.
+Red Poppy Ranch
They are straight wall, they don't have the two ribs.
You didnt know about barrel stove kits but you're an expert on steel barrels???
+fawcems Not an expert, but I have quite a bit of experience with steel barrels from 25 years of dealing with them in the food manufacturing industry. And as a child growing up in the woods I had a lot of experience with wood stoves and fire bricks. But, I had no knowledge of or experience with kits to turn barrels into stoves.
Great job ! Thanks for the lesson!
First time seeing one of your videos. Impressive work. Thank you!
I like. Good job. My plan would include some hardware mesh rolled to form an outer shield to keep from accidentally bumping into it. Don't want to get anyone burned
Now if you put a gasket around the stove door and fill up any cracks with stove cement you will have a nice air tight wood burner like mine.I also lined the stove half way up the sides inside with fire brick and put a removable grate inside the stove to cook on.On top of the stove i put a vogelzang large box wood coal grate that looks very similar to your home made grate.You did a great job.
I'd love to see a picture of your stove.
Thank you!
Outstanding and beautiful work of art and utility.
Nice work. I dig the Singer re-purposed trivet.
Thanks Tommy!
Tommy Rad ......Ill second that......looks cool and very practical
