Can’t fault a guy for using Chevy orange on everything he owns lol

you forgot to strip the old paint and clean the barrel before adding new paint.

In my experience, even the best high temp paint can't withstand extremely high temperatures for long. There could be some fairly new products out there I'm not aware of too. It isn't my profession, so I'm no expert.

Engine paint is only good up to 500 degrees F. VHT high heat paint would be better.

your suppose to burn the paint off outside

your door looks off centered

Damn it man

You did not burn or remove the original paint off the barrel before you put the high temp paint on. So the old low temp paint under the new paint burned off when it got hot taking the new paint with it.🤔

I have another old barrel to cut up and put inside for a liner . As I understand they burn through the bottom. E bay sells a grate for these because I plan to add some coal, but I may try furnace cement first somehow. Also I am putting up a small metal shed 10 ft from the house and HVAC tube w fan, into the basement. Will see !

Paint didn’t fail- u did not clean the old paint off the drum you need to get to bare metal clean any residue with alcohol then paint Hight heat paint over the bare metal - if you paint over residue or old paint it will fail ! Need to be on bare metal

Dude didn’t know what type of paint to use really?

Why the fuck are you wearing a skirt? And it’s not the paint failing, it’s the user failing to get the right product.

Do they make brick liner kits for these barrel stovess?

Thank you for the honesty! Great job and keep it hot! :)

The paint failed because you did not burn off the old paint FIRST......you must assemble barrel stove, then light it and burn off all the paint that was on the barrel then repaint with extreme high temp paint.

Maybe more of a pants fail.

Choke is to low down the pipe and you have tape on it it will burn that right off hope you aren't using galvanized pipe too it is toxic when burned

Slow down... Slow down the process and keeep it slow and low....

Nice!

Lol. It *was* a pretty sweet paint job. Color scheme looked cool.

Thanks for advice 🌹

well damn !! I went to your channel to see what you did next, LOL only 1 video on the channel haha

Lose the tool skirt!

HVT. MAKES 2000° paint.. But even that will burn off that application. Hell that barrel its self is gonna burn away in about a year

DAH!!!!! THAT CAN IS GONNA GLOW RED... How did you not know that...

Gotta burn the existing paint off first or you wont get adhesion with the hi-temp paint, and try using actual stove paint, fairly certain engine paint isn't rated for a 1000-1200 degree wood fire.

Should of used a roller

Great build video and hopefully you got the paint issue sorted out. Doesn't seem like a fail to me, stove got nice and hot and will certainly eliminate brush piles year after year!

or i can make stove of this www.topirankiai.lt/image/cache/data/talpyklos/bidonas-aliumininis-40-l-talpos-1114-600x600_0.jpg its aluminium can hold heat?

I have wasted quite a bit of money on various high temperature paints to paint my barrel fire pit and all of them peel off once steel gets red hot, which happens frequently on thin wall steel drums. Only difference is, those high temp paints don't emit vapors.

That's exactly why they sell stove paint, other than that you need to strip any old paint off the barrel prior to using the stove paint.

Good to know...I'm more concerned about why there seems to be smoke coming from the bottom instead of going out the top. This would be a disaster if it was used inside a shop or something.

A little tip: let the angle grinder blade do the work instead of trying to force it through. If the blade does have a crack or chip that is when things can go south.

I would have never even bothered to paint it in first place. Just saying.....

Stove black is the only paint I would use. But honestly they get so hot that no paint is better.

Did it smell like a new car

only the paint fails, the others work well.

duh . Anyone who would do that should not be allowed to play with matches.

Suppose to use header paint not high temp that maxes out like 500 and header is like 1500

I'm pretty sure he did use heat paint .....you see the problem is that he didn't remove the original black pain from it so that burned off under his fresh coat of orange :( still a great project tho ...two thumbs up,for me

I have a saying..Do it correctly the first time or don't do it at all.

it looked so cool orange and black

It ain't a fail if it keeps you warm!

Theirs paint for grill made to be in fire still I think eventually the paint won’t last but look up grill paint.

Engine paint is not stove paint

Im sure someone touched on this already but here it goes. There are two things that are majorly wrong with the assembly and or construction of this stove. 1. The paint from the old barrel MUST be burnt completely off and the barrel NEEDS to be completely stripped and prepared for high heat paint. This process was skipped. 2. The barrel that you are supposed to use is a sealed barrel. I do not know if you could locate one or not, but that is the kind you are supposed to use. Aside from that everything looks fantastic. You took your time and made sure that everything was lined up and cut evenly. Hopefully you can get the paint issue sorted out and the removable lid doesn't cause you any issues. (that can always be sealed with stovepipe sealant if need be.

I just did mine over the weekend and I wanted to paint it but I decided not to but what I did was before I put it in the garage I started a fire inside of it outside so the heat with stripped the original paint and didn't paint it I'm leaving it bare metal

POR heat paint.

you needed to burn the old paint off first

First of all, the directions for every barrel stove hit say not to ever use an open top drum as you cannot regulate the airflow/dampen down the fire. Second of all, block paint is rated to what, maybe 450 degrees. The surface of those barrels quickly exceed 800 degrees on an average burn. They'll see 1000+ if you're burning shit wood like pine. Btw...nice skirt there princess. Smh
