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.

[@donvandenberg5301]

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.

[@jaimelazar7676]

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.

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.

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"

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

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.

I had that same design stove in my garage 25 years ago. I had 5 - 4" tubes through the top barrel with a box fan behind it to push air through the tubes. I also lined the bottom of the bottom barrel with fire bricks. Best wood stove I ever had.

[@nooneknows6060]

Nicely done! I’ve made a few of these myself over the years. I would recommend that you turn the top barrel around in order to offset the stack so you get more of the heat in the heat exchanger.

[@stihlRoush]

I’ve never heard of a hot water heater…Is that new?

[@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!

[@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.

Artists rarely listen to their critics. They usually look down upon them, and see no worth in most of their criticisms, because the ART is what matters. Critics do not DO, they merely criticize. True artistry takes the amount of time that it takes. If you were to do time-lapse, or only show what some people THINK might be the important parts, there would still be so much information and explanations missed that nobody could ever dream of re-creating what you have done. Take advice from doers/ makers/creators like yourself, not from critics. The journey between the start and finish of reaching the destination/ end result, is where the true adventure lays. Let those of us who appreciate the journey, have the journey with you.

you need to flip the connections between the 2 barrels... smoke is gonns seep through the piles as it travels up... flipping them would put the open side of the over lap on bottom and smoke cant travel back down the pipe to seep out

MMORPG87 When I used to install stoves we put the female ends down so that the creosote would flow down into the stove. If your pipe is not drafting well and your joints aren’t tight. Use some filler to fill in the gap’s. If you still have smoke then you have a draft problem.
