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.

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.

[@michaels4193]

I'm not an HVAC tech and I thought, why is he putting that in upside down.

[@Thorin7.62]

Crimps go down so that creosote condensate runs back to the firebox, and not drip down the pipe causing a fire hazard

[@luckysevenairammo1217]

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.

[@IcedTee89]

@@luckysevenairammo1217 Makes sense. Good explanation.

[@patrickdurham8393]

You installed the flanges between your barrels backwards. You always want the inner pipe pointing up you don't want to exposed crimped pipe pointing down in the direction of the flame. Leaks in the proper position will only add extra combustion air whereas if they're in the wrong direction they'll leak carbon monoxide

@@slowfudgeballs9517 It's good in the sense that it really heats well. 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? But if a stove is supposed to make efficient use of fuel and pump out the heat, this is a good stove.

[@TheCcguy]

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.

I just wanted to clarify, I wasn't upset that it was more than 1 episode.

[@zekecorder8226]

Saw a double barrel stove in Northern Idaho where a guy had cut out the ends of the top barrel, then he put the ring around the inner barrel welded in a 30 gal barrel with no ends in it, and placed a fan in the back to heat a very large shop. I think it was his own design. I saw it 35 or 40 years ago in St. Maries, Idaho.

[@robertf6523]

My buddy did at least similar to what you're describing... the top barrel was essentially an internally hollow huge metal pipe (for the hot gasses to flow through), with capped ends, and a wide open hole through the middle of it that a box fan could blow through

[@Ryan-pc5ue]

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.

[@bringinghomethebananas]

Yeah my dad made one out of an oil tank just like you're saying, except that he uses it for burning garbage and small brush outside so he doesn't have to get a permit. 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. I think the stove outlasted the garage.

[@thzzzt]

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.

He says around 8:40 that is mounted differently because of where is going. I know little about thermal dynamics, I'll try to research the "why"

He could put a partition wall, similar to older mufflers, inside the barrel (if he opened it and welded it close again), making the exhaust flow back and forth through the second barrel.

I like a project extending over the course of a few videos. It gives more time to see a more detailed version of each step.

[@alwaysopen7970]

There are several "Star Wars" movies for a reason.

[@kmcd6140]

I like step-by-step videos. For those wanting a start to finish, it's not too hard to add videos to set playlists as they are uploaded. Also, if you feel up to it, you could take all of the video you have and edit it into a compilation video at the end of a piece. Take your time with them, and I'm sure they'll be appreciated. Either and both options are nice ways to gauge how long a project takes. Blessings upon you and yours.

We had a stove like this when I was a kid, only difference is it was one barrel cut in half the long way with flat sheets welded on. The amount of heat that thing put out was incredible

hey, i understand, it took me three weeks to paint the upstairs hall and ceiling. life happens. MGB

[@erggml1887]

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. Good on you for getting it done.

[@michaelportwood2450]

Remember my grandpa having one of those in his garage.

[@mike02454]

same, the double barrel setup has been around a long time

[@vanveen8472]

these stoves are really good, we used one to heat a huge uninsulated garage over 50 years ago and it was great, ate big pieces of wood once you got it started and burnt for a long time, the only problem was keeping enough fire brick to stop the barrel from burning thru, they are thin after all, great for heating large area's

[@scottleduc1641]

Use a 100 gallon propane tank and put sand in bottom to keep coals off the steel. Mines 30 yrs old and still like new.

[@kylemartin6307]

I understand exactly what you mean sir. I am literally the exact same way down to a tee. 😂 It's nice to know that I'm not the only one. also it was very relaxing to see you work on this stove I've made several and can't quiet get em honed in

[@rickgillis1613]

Anyone who complains "its taking to long " doesn't actually do anything ....unless watching others work is counted as 'doing something ' ! ! ! 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 ~;) Best we could do as Students with part time jobs, and 2nd hand beaters, dirt bikes and a couple old snow machines to work on.

[@Charles-pz6ux]

Yeah, I've got a Swedish woodstove for a cabin or Teepee that works in the same way. It gets super hot, it's brilliant. Great project, will go look for the next video!!!

[@BillRoberts5]

Why is this design so great? Waisted all that time just waiting for an explanation.

[@fauchejuliano]

It is one woodstove with the heat of two! Normally, too much heat goes up the chimney!

[@kennethmitchell2785]

I’m guessing more surface area for heat to radiate from.

[@joshblick]

@@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.

[@joetuktyyuktuk8635]

I know right? Not impressed with this at all...maybe because I've been a welder/fabricator for going on 30 years, I'm sure I could whip up something way better than this just using material out of the scrap bin at work...but whatever, dif strokes for dif folks...

[@richardofoz2167]

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!

[@timmorris3056]

Spend the extra couple hundred for stainless food grade barrels, they won't rot out like the standard steel. We got ours from a barrel recycler, but most large restraunts and bakeries have them.

[@horseblinderson4747]

They eventually decuarberize and eventually start rusting as well.

I have worked at a prototype machine shop since 1984. This isn’t something that you can bust out fast. When I did mine a decade ago it took me at least ten hours. This guy is being precise and lets not forget there’s a fire going to be lit in there. Who wants an exhaust smoke leak?

[@dustyroads5753]

Barrels never last very long. Use 20"+ oil pipe. It's around 1/3" thick instead of the thin gauge barrel. Costs about $20 per foot around here. Some 1/4" plate for the front and back, it's a stove that lasts a lifetime

[@fookingsog]

Could also use a Water Heater Tank as they are also quite thick!!!

[@dukesworld3020]

I had the same heater in my shop. It was put in in the late '70s. I think around 76 or 77 by my father in law. And I inherited the place in 1991and I used it until we moved in 2006. 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.
