It's cooling off and about time to start having barrel stove fires in the barn. Today I start my first fire of the season and walk you through a few tips and tricks to using your barrel stove.

Good morning from central Georgia! 35° down here this morning so an appropriate video to start the day. I would DEFINITELY watch the Indy Farm Yule Log!
That thing is burning very clean with very little smoke ! Good burn. Great video ,I used to have one in my basement for years and it worked amazing !
When I was a kid, I remember double barreled wood stoves exploding in popularity across Idaho in the seventies. I still use one today. On the 11th burning season of mine now. Best way to run 'em is get rid of the little damper they come with. Mount a barometric damper right out the top of the barrel, especially if you got a long chimney runout.
I use an outside air kit with mine, which is a 3" pipe running from outside to right above the feed door. I use a bit of folded sheet metal that widens out to a slit about an inch across and as wide as the feed door. This way you aren't running your chimney like a vacuum, sucking cold air into every gap in your building and dropping efficency. You are feeding cold air directly to your stove and creating a smoke blocking air curtain so that when you open the stove, if she wants to smoke, it will try to get out the top of the feed door, but the cold air curtain that's feeding the stove will cause that smoke to roll back down and into the stove again. 2 for 1.
Also, putting in 2 or 3 secondary burn air tubes near the ceiling of the barrel (like the modern high efficiency stoves) will make it much more efficient. You will burn a lot less wood and send a lot less smoke up the flue. Also, if you are set up for it, a lot of thermal mass around the stove will give off heat for hour after fire's out. I can leave mine out all night and only get a temperature drop of 10 degrees in 8 hours with temps in the mid teens outside.
Good Journeys All
How the hell do they blow up
Enjoy your fire!
Science, ha! You are funny! The barrel stove's what originally brought me to your channel, and I don't even remember why I thought I'd want to make a DIY one in the first place! Oh, and the yule log please, would watch that! The non-wearing of shades, though, feels like I'm watching a different person, haha.
Hello from Anderson, In.
Your hillarious man!
cool DIY stove ...what dimension of door with door frame? hight? and wide ?
Make the yule log fire!!!

1:07 - Question for you, do u use a grate, or no? , thx for posting this!
Nope, no grate in mine. Just some sand and fire bricks.
I clicked on this video without realizing how close you live. I saw the Tim Martin sweatshirt and got caught off guard. Hi from Plymouth
Hey neighbor! That's awesome! My wife's family is actually from South Bend. We pass through Plymouth often!
Did the bird make it out okay?
I just got one, for $200 -_-, and sadly when we bought it it didnt have enough piping to go past our roof. So ive been dealing with smoldering flames and a smoke filled house 🤦🏻♀️ we're off grid so its our only source of heat and i haven't been able to keep a licking fire, when i close the door it smolders out, and i cant open it otherwise ALL the smoke comes out and into my 29ft cabin. Its gets below °30 in ky area and i need this to work. I cant drill theough my roof yet (dont have the tools or knowlege to not ruin my home! Nor the money to pay someone educated in it to do it) so the piping goes out my window but it doesnt go past my roof which is why i feel the smoke doesnt eacape the piping nor a flame staying alight bc theres no air coming through the piping to keep the flame going, but the pipe isn't sealed. So it has to be the fact tha mypipe doesnt go past my roof right?
You always leave the flue wide open?
Most the time. Then I shut the doors on front a decent amount.
Where can I buy the door for the stove?
There is a link in the video description.
How often do you need to remove ashes
It really depends on how often you use it, but it's not an everyday thing for sure. I let mine go quite a while before emptying. I prefer to have more of a bed to help protect the steel. (in addition to the sand and fire bricks)
@@IndyFarmLife thanks that’s helpful. Sand and firebrick is also really good, i hadn’t thought of that.
@@donaldlalone7014 Yea, it helps protect the bottom. In most cases, the bottom doesn't even get very hot when a fire is going because of them/it.
Smells like Tweety Bird is done
And you can burn long huge pieces of crap and make heat. They really work well for just about nothing
Why do I get so much smoke in mine ??? Help please
Make sure you have good dry wood. A hot fire with dry wood shouldn't smoke. Also make sure your flue doesn't have any blockages. When you first start the fire, leave the front door open for a good while so that fire can build up and build a good hot coal base.
Adam where's your shades 🤣.
@@IndyFarmLife . Adam. Remember the video you did with the big fella in November. In the woods. You had your shades on then🤣
@@IndyFarmLife 😂😂😂😂👍👍. How is the big fella?
@@IndyFarmLife very good Adam. I have a big fella also. 28 inch bar on it. Their an animal of a saw. Serious power.
@@IndyFarmLife . Remember the video in the woods you did with the big fella. Who was the chap with you?
@@IndyFarmLife . Cool Adam. Have a great day. Looking forward to more of your videos 👍
