Wood Burner Built From Junk

Yes, I forgot to talk about the air intake. I simply drilled holes in the door. Later, I added a flap because sometimes the stove would backfire a little. It's visible in the thumbnail.
It's not my first stove build either. This is my 6th wood burner build in my life. I guess I should have mentioned that in the video, too. If you watch my channel regularly, you will see I have a wood burner I built in my house, and I had one I built in the "man cave." 2 of the 6 builds were "water jacketed" wood burners for pumping hot water into a home for heat.
It would be nice to be a bit warmer in the garage, I love wood hear, so I decided to build a small wood burner.

I built a couple of stoves,they worked as good as anything I could have bought.I got a big one made out of a seventy-five gallon water tank off a concrete mixer.The weather is getting colder and I will start it up as I have for many years.I built this stove back in the seventies.

[@lindamcentaffer5969]

Notice, unlike commercially built Square stoves, a ROUND stove will NEVER need Firebrick, to keep the corner welds from cracking. Round stoves heat more evenly & can even glow every night & never crack their welds, all the while putting out more heat for a given volumetric size. If you put a Baffle in front of the exhaust outlet, It'll burn even more efficiently.

[@felixcat9318]

That's a fine stove, even more so because you used what you had instead of buying materials. The legs look especially good, quite stylish too. Excellent door too, and those repurposed tools finished it off really well.

[@barntt]

The "Ole" Sotz Double barrel stove kit with the steel door, I had years ago! It even had a "automatic vent adjuster"! It had a steel tunnel on the inside of the door vent to prevent the belch of FIRE! It was Awesome! Nice build!

[@Mike-su8si]

That hinge is good to that's stuff I'll remember

[@dansmolen1618]

Always the best kind of stove!! Who can build the cheapest,best operating stove!!

[@Wolfyjinny]

Nice build, I just love projects that repurpose old materials.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

The things you can build IF you have the right tools to work with... Nice job!!!!

[@tonyjones9715]

Great job 👍

[@texasbidvideo]

Nice work. Its fun recycling metal objects and making something out of them. Like you understand how satisfying that is to create something from scrap.

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Yep, building with new just doesn't create that same satisfying feeling. :) I did forget to talk about the air intake in the door in this video, I just put a few holes in the door with a flap. I think I want to change that to something adjustable... one of these years.

[@dave1secondago]

brilliant stove bro

[@billp3914]

Some people are going crazy Complaining your killing jobs lol By creating it from junk My hats off to ya Great job

[@ceasar3696]

I like it. Especially the wrenches used for the latch! Looks cool.

[@351L]

That is an awesome work shop stove and the handle makes it look unique.

[@nathanblanchet2648]

I love my powerplasma cutter. It really does come in very handy when cutting circles and around curves.

[@shrconstruction]

Needs a baffle to get some re-burn and slow the heat going up vent pipe by re-directing it to the front then up and back to the vent. You could also get a lot more heat recovery from the exhaust pipe in many different ways....but nice build all the same. I'm a cheap skate and want to keep as much as the btu's as possible and burn my firewood as slowly as possible but obviously above the temps that build amounts of creosote. I build stuff from junk all the time as well....i like the character of stuff that works in its present life differently that its former life but in fact still preforms a useful function.

[@TomStedham]

I'm digging that closing latch!

[@edgartex9853]

Man, I learned so much from this video. Also that little crane you had was awesome. Never seen one like that. Thanks for the content!!

[@harleco1]

I like it especially the latch.

[@samuraimedi4061]

Pretty neat, thanks for the inspiration!

[@stevebranham2599]

Nice stove . I've been thinking about doing the same thing, good job

[@wookidtheoneandonly6230]

That’s what I’m talking about, I built one out of a 25 gallon windshield wash drum. But after a season of burning everyday it isn’t happy. I think I’m going to replicate this because it is getting way to cold in the garage hahaha 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@gorp27]

Nice build and a thumbs up for the Beavis quote

[@markspc1]

Great build !

[@Stribman]

Nice job, get a lot time in something like that I'm building one similar from old hot water heater, I cut oval top off and flip it to give secondary burn chamber, and add 6 inch rocket burn to side for extended burn time nice

[@phooesnax]

Nicely done! Jim

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Thanks Jim! :)

[@Mike-su8si]

Yeah I like your door flap you made and would copy that if i put a door on mine

[@celegleeson1767]

Looks fabulous

[@rascalwind]

If you can add an adjustment on the flap for you flu pipe and make it partially closable you'll get better heat out of it, and longer burns.

[@davekauffman8727]

I usually find DIY videos by guys with tools that most don't have somewhat annoying because who can DIY if they don't have a welder and this or that machine-tool? Nobody I know has "scrap" angle iron or other metal stock. Nice reference to my favorite adult-cartoon guy.

[@andrewzielinski9071]

Nice build !

[@Max-re5vg]

Good work Man....Respect from Australia.....been thinking about making one of these for my Living room......Love the smell of Redgum burning.......cheers Mate

[@TheGardener54uk]

thats amazing

[@elpoison626]

Jajajaja😂Bevis n butthead out did themselves on that wood heater nice job brother 👏👍

[@alebaldi6757]

Un progetto semplice..sempre molto efficace..sei stato bravo e preciso..complimenti

[@jplxlabelle1681]

Nice. Needs a flat top tho, or a pseudo flat top made from a couple pieces of angel iron.

[@RenaissanceThinking]

I'm curious where and how you handled the incoming air to feed the fire?

[@fojnica2226]

nice video i just start to build one...greetings from croatia

[@brucemorris6319]

That old forney welder you have I got one just like it. I use at all the time it’s a good welder.

[@rexclay2231]

nice build

[@Junkyardmethod]

If came out nice! I was all set to build one for my shop and ended up dumpster diving and getting an older Ashely forced air wood/coal fired furnace! Works nice heating my place plus I enjoy cutting the wood for fuel. Have yet to burn coal. Keep up the good work and stay warm!

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

That sounds like a heck of a find!

[@Junkyardmethod]

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then. Worst part is all the controls were junk so I wired both blower up independent. You can tell they made it so that a power failure would smother it as all the air comes through the draft blower. Plus you almost can’t feed it enough wood to keep the air handler running full time. I’m not sure I’ll sweat it too much as I don’t generally run it unless I’m there to feed it and keep an eye on it. I’m far enough south it’s generally not terrible temp wise. I really enjoy watching all the stuff you build as well as the scratch built tools. Take care!

[@carbocycle]

Slick. Real nice.

[@beecee1235]

And i thought it was going to be a load of junk.. :) Fire isn't cool, its hot... Glad to hear that Bevis&Butthead are being kept alive... Seriously, The stove looks Very nice, and the legs are artistic. Good job.

[@josecanisales3491]

Very artistic.

[@danzykam6545]

Thinks of idea works hard during the winter finishes late in spring😂 pumped out one stove

[@dauntiekay2768]

Nice, very nice!!!

[@davidbass7593]

Nice stove man and the best part made outa junk wow what about the air vent I didn't see that

[@oueuc2]

Nice video! Just a tip that might come in handy for some folks. A roll of receipt paper or even tape will make a good straight edge for pipe or curved parts that need marked. I keep a roll of receipt paper just for that purpose.

[@Mike-su8si]

Me to

[@jamesjohnson6280]

Nice stove bro

[@charlie.pocono9199]

Nice !

[@mrfrog3350]

Nice job,looks good. Should heat your shop just fine. We are finally getting our first measurable snow tonight here in Detroit.Just fired up the wood stove in my shop to get the tractor ready for plowing.

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Really? I figured y'all would be sick of snow by now! I've lost track of how much snow we've gotten. It's been snowing every other week here since mid October. Have fun plowing!

[@weldweld5629]

Good stuff

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Thanks!

[@keithparady2594]

Nice

[@cathy9160]

You need a fan behind the stove to blow the heat around..enjoy the wood heat its the best and you are never cold enjoy the heat

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Very cool looking wood stove. Are you leaving the stove as is or are you going to paint it? I especially like the door with the double frame.!

[@morgansword]

I built a few wood stoves over years and when I used pipe for a stove, I made them standing up with about four to six inch legs on the bottom and the door is about two thirds the way up to have a head above the door. That way I could use a lot of variables for heat but primarily wood. I know it ain't right but my stove my rules so any greasy rags that accumulated I stored outside in a vented area where my scrap steel was at and they got used up or burnt on purpose because in a pile where ever stored they will "build" their own fire from spontaneous combustion. that flat tom had a iron kettle on top always with it full of water cause I just don't like bloody noses especially in winter months, cause up here in Alaska the air is pretty dry. I guess I stuck my own nose into a fair amount of fights when I was a kid and then if I tripped over my own feet I made contact with something on the way down.... want to hear the rest of my own stupid mistakes growing up???? Well I was a boxer in the army an my nose was fair game to just about anyone in the ring and ducking was something I never really got the hang of/LOL. Anyway you just about never had to measure anything you planned to burn and when I could make it back to the house in the wee hours of morning mostly, I'd chunk some healthy sized wood in it with knots or somewhat wet and it would hold the fire overnight. I always would open the stack it the morning when I come in to burn the creosote out which I had real thick pipe for the chimney and it was also rapped with asbestos so the heat didn't get the nearest anything on fire. Of course my roof was steel also. I like your stove and only thing it needs is a place for the coffee to set. Enjoyed the video and I miss my wood stove

[@JonDingle]

Nice stove idea. I think I would have opted to go vertical so it takes up less room, can be be loaded from the top and put and ash grate in the bottom with a trap door for emptying and lighting up. Just an idea not a ctirisism. If I ever get my own place again I will make a workshop fire and video it too!

[@billysmith4649]

Man, I love that ji

[@billysmith4649]

Ok my thump is to big, I like your jig crane, I need to make one so I can save my back. That is exactly the stove I need to make for our deer camp cabin. Thanks.

[@mebelnaumov8562]

u would have problems with condensation, the outside chimney will condensate and will be full of water make really short chimney outside or try to isolate the chimney with stone wool or something . this problem occurs when people are using iron/thin chimneys instead of building one with bricks

[@NOFx420x]

Did you need to add any air flow or vent to increase the draft

[@kokodin5895]

didn't you consider making dumping doors on the bottom and some metal bar grate to keep the wood from directly touching the bottom wall also how abour efficiency of that thing? does it have enough surface area to radiate all the heat or most of it is going out trough the chimney? if the later part is true you can plumb it to a water jacket made out od copper pipes wraped around and put that water to some old trucj radiator . it would look ugly but it could give out much more heat given bigger surface area plus it woyld be safer to tauch because it would be colder on the surface

[@tacomafan7488]

i would buy one ! lol

[@LindaLouiseLafon-kp1ju]

Your ALLOWING me to hang out - hummm

[@expatconn7242]

Digging that roller . You make that ? I’m in need of 1 my round oak 16 has rust can’t weld it. Need a new barrel.

[@shakdidagalimal]

Put a curly cue piece of metal above the door on top, then some rounds one with two holes by the uptube, and call it Miss Piggy.

[@CCRider5312]

Thats a nice stove job! But brother U gotta have Air flow! A stove wont function properly if it can't get air from the door to make ur smoke draw up the chimney! U should cut some (Dime) size holes in ur door about 1 1/2" -2" inches up from the bottom of the door! Then put a slider piece of metal U can slide to open & close the draft holes. Then weld a 1-2 inch piece of channel metal under ur slider vent....This is to catch any small piece of fire that could fall out of ur draft holes & keep the fire embers from hitting the floor. It really is a Super Nice looking barrel Wood Heater. But U gotta have a draft Vent & about 1 1/2"- 2" inches off the bottom of your door is where it needs to be! If U run that stove that way it wont burn efficiently & it wont draw up the chimney like it should without air to push it up & out better. Note: Fire has to have air to burn. I hope this Tip helps U. 👍

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Read the description, or the many other comments I have gotten about air intake.

[@michaelleblanc3210]

How big of an area will that heat up? The pipe looks so small. I have a bunch of 1/4 plate and am planning on building one for my basement.

[@jonminnella2168]

the best part of what you did is made it from junk lying around all it cost you was your time and some welding supplies

[@Blackserieseditionllc]

I love this you should sell them

[@lazarus8447]

Guy sounds a lot like Dax sheppard.

[@letsgobrandon136]

Haha the beavis and butthead reference 😆

[@allanmoulton3745]

Here’s a tip. Spend your money on insulation and heat your garage with a couple of candles.

[@rondill8429]

where is the damper in the front of the stove?? Not much air gonna get in there to burn your wood very good.. Use a pipe cap and a bolt/nut and drill a few holes in that door behind where you put the pipe cap at the bottom of the door for the air to get in and you got it done!!!

[@adrianbadea1179]

Excellent work 👍 ... now go and get some firebricks and cover the stove and wrap around with chicken wire and give it a nice render 😉

[@cummins12vrr]

Cool

[@DavidGarcia-sx8th]

you could of welded a plat to put a pot of coffee or to cook on and it would of been perfect....

[@dalethompson5842]

WHY??? Didn't you make your stove taller? About 30" very comfortable to load with wood at that height. Bending down with a load of wood hurts the back.

[@MFKR696]

I've always found electric heaters to be totally insufficient even in the most well-insulated garage you're likely to come across. Propane "rose-bud" heaters and wood-stoves are the only way to go.

[@bobkelly2447]

Well done ! , however I think you will need more air coming into your fire on the door a adjustable damper ! the main thing that compels me to comment is your installation of the stove.... the big piece of steel toward the wall is well and good but nowhere enough to keep the wall from charing or catching on fire i know this from experience ! I later discovered a reasonable cure to the problem. I used aluminum roofing tin Up the wall in 2 layers separated about 2" from each other so air can move between them. when you get your wood stove Red hot all the way around and really cooking good, take a lazer thermoneter and check your wall wood temp behind the steel plate and you will be cooling it down with a sprey bottle of water before it ignites ! steel does not protect the wood that much , Aluminum will it conducts heat much faster, but you need 2 or 3 layers to protect the wall.... believe me I know Bob.....

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

After 4 months of use, the wall behind has never even gotten remotely hot. At most I would call it warm, and I have checked it repeatedly.

[@garywilson755]

Yeah where is the intake air vent ?unless he keeps the door cracked open ?

[@tuckermoreland147]

adjustable vent is missing and a flat top

[@rickershomesteadahobbyfarm3291]

How is this thing holding up?

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Excellent! I need to do an update video on this build, and show how I built the air inlet in the door since I goofed in the edit and skipped that part somehow.

[@markharris9129]

Next time use a piece of cardboard with a straight edge for marking the cut line on a pipe

[@brucetolzman8035]

Where are the intake vents

[@kevindavis6042]

All you need is a flat top to make your dinner

[@moncorp1]

Great watching Dax Shepard build a wood stove.

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Never been compared to him.

[@timothycamp6776]

Just a suggestion, drill the feet and make adjusters for it Incase someday you might want to move it.

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

I'll keep it in mind! No plans to move it... but... you know how plans go. :)

[@plnmech]

Neat but did you put a vent in so the stove can breathe

[@WideVisionMetalFab]

Oops, apparently I skipped that part. I drilled 2 holes in the door. Visible at 14:40.

[@weatherstorms]

Make adjustable air holes in the door, plus a window. :) @@WideVisionMetalFab

[@pmm422]

I'm betting the tiny little holes aren't enough?

[@weatherstorms]

I don't think so @@pmm422

[@CCRider5312]

thundersnowstorm. Yeah you are right. I told him to drill dime size holes & put a Metal slider to slide over the holes to open & close & adjust his air flow with. I also told him to weld a 1"-2" piece of angle iron across under the slider to catch any little pieces of fire that may fall out of the dime size air holes! Then he could close the vent some leaving a little hole open at night. Then while he sleeps or is away he wont have to worry about a piece of ember that may fall out the hole & burn his home down. Because it would just fall in the angle iron get trapped & die out! Right ? 😉 👍
