    Having worked in a farm huge metal building repair shop many years ago, these are great during the rainy, snowy, winter days. The older mechanics made a removeable metal griddle that sat on top of the lower drum so that breaktimes you could heat up or toast some bread, fry some sausages, even a few eggs, bacon, etc for the crew. There's not a lot of space between the drums, but it just occurred to me that I bet there's a way to make great coffee with one of those double chamber Italian coffeemakers, just extend the griddle out a bit somehow for it to sit on and conduct the heat. When the power goes out in the winter (which often happened), you'd be set. Also, they had a suspended metal frame above the stove where you could spread out and warm up damp work gloves. In our modern world where so much is manufactured, the handmade solutions often bring back the best memories.

    My uncle had a couple of these when I was younger. One in his mechanic's shop for work and one in his garage at home. They weren't all fancy with the flanges, he just cut and welded some pipe between them to hold the upper chamber and act as a means to transfer the heat, and he filled the upper chamber with scrap steel so it would collect and radiate the heat even after the fire went out.

    Cool stove. Great video. I’m an HVAC tech and the only illegal thing I see is the way the venting connects, you did it upside down. Crimps of stove pipe, or any venting, need to be in the direction of air flow to eliminate flue spillage. So crimps should be going upwards or smoke or CO will leak out.

      @luckysevenairammo1217 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wrong, on woodstove applications (only) you always run the male opposite the flow, this keeps creosote and condensation from running out of the joint onto the exterior of the pipe. And flue installations the pipe is the opposite of HVAC since it is under vaccuum not pressure. Under pressure like (HVAC) the flow works best male with flow. On a woodstove you are asking for a creosote fire on the outside of the pipe.

I remember these in houses back in the day; they could warm up a draughty uninsulated space in no time and keep it that way (though they wouldn't hold a fire overnight). I guess the single-wall rolled steel isn't as fire-safe as heavy cast iron; is that why they banned them from living spaces?

      I looked it up and it is illegal in a home in the US but not because its too good. . It was banned along with most woodburning stoves to to emission and pollution concerns in 2017. Has nothing to do with this stoves heat efficiency but because it's smoke would still be raw woodsmoke and well above the 20% requirement for modern wood burning stoves.

    It may not be "illegal" to make and use on of these barrel wood stoves, but if it fails and burns down your house or garage, then the insurance company will not pay for damages. I have seen these in people's garages and they work pretty good to heat the place up in the colder months. The problem is that heat generated, melts the bottoms out. They have to be lined with stove bricks. I would like to see a wood stove made out of a 275 gallon oil tank. I made a burner barrel for my dad which took 3 years to burned out, but it was used outside and was getting rained on. Cool video through. Thanks.

He just slams the door shut. It's a bit of a monstrosity. As for melting the bottoms out, we always let so much ash accumulate in the bottoms of our single barrel stove that it was plenty insulating.

    Nope, to put the flanges on the same side defeats the whole purpose of the upper barrel. It's the same principle as with Finnish masonry heaters. You
    want the hot gases to travel a maximum distance before they are released, so they have more time and area to give off their heat.

    I haven't seen these heaters since traveling through British Colombia and the Yukon in the early 1970s. I suppose they're still in use there, because they're the most effective heaters I've ever seen. When the temperature outdoors was around 40 below, one of these would heat a very large, high-ceilnged room to the point of being too warm for comfort. Make no mistake: if you want real heat, get one of these. They work!

    Your stove reminds me of the shop stoves we would build when we were young. we didn't have any of the fancy cast flanges ,etc you have for your build, we made that up out of scrap steel and pipe we'd get from the junkyard for cheap. that could fit standard store bought stove pipe.our fire box having 2~4 inches of beach sand with old masonry brick on top to build our fires upon & its cold here in winter in Canada, wood pallets at the Industrial Park were free fire wood & it kept our garages warm where we could work on our vehicles . They were ugly but they worked great to heat a garage up. often you had 1 side of you cooking, the side away from the stove was chilled ~;)

The only problem I had with it was birds would fly down the stove pipe until I put a screen over it. And I sold the place to a friend of mine who is still using it now. My father in law put a rebar grate in it to keep the fire off the bottom. The drums have never been replaced. I don't know why he would say that it is illegal. It may be in his state. I have put a smaller one in my shop just last year. Just one drum on this one.

    The reason you are struggling with your sheet metal cutting: Yellow handled tin snips are for putting small nips in the edge of sheet metal... Not for cutting from the start to the finish of a complete cut in sheet metal. Green and Red handled snips are both used to cut straight line cuts from start to finish in sheet metal ... The difference between Red and Green handled snips is which way they curl the sheet metal; up to the right or up to the left; as the cut progresses from start to finish in sheet metal. Hope this helps.

But i was just gonna say, i have been watching you for well....since i can remember you being on. And while i havent seen every video. I dont think i could happier with what you have taught me and and the energy you put out.

    You can run the modern version of this on any woodstove. It is just a square box that goes above your flue collar with through piping for heat exchange via fan. They work great. "Heat reclaimer"

      @@fauchejuliano no, it doesn't have the heat of two, it just holds a little more heat. The 20 foot chimney will actually get rid of most of the heat in that place. It still doesn't not have any type of gas reburner and will use twice if not three times as much wood as a newer one.

    Put a baffle down the middle to direct the hot air too the front then back to the rear to the exhaust, still heating all the pipes and may add efficiency.

      90% of a paint job is the prior prep, as the paint will only enhance any flaws. I believe that this is why you can't spell paint without pain.

    I remember those. And they busted out the BTUs. My grandfather also had a similar stove in the basement he made from an old hot water heater. With a good fire in that, and the upstairs stove lit as well, it kept the whole house warm in the winter. Thanks for the very complete video!

Its like taking photographs they tell a story of a moment in time, nothing more nothing less.

    Here in Finland, wood burning stoves were practically compulsory in every house since the beginning of the cold war until very recently. To get a planning permission, you had to file a statement under heading "Winter heat source during periods of inavailability of imported fuels" meaning situations where electricity, gas or oil is not available. That was in effect until year 2012, if I remember correctly, and thus almost every house has some kind of a fireplace.
