Am I The Only One That Thinks This Is A Scary Rig?

He's a nice guy but is limited on stove knowledge. It's a basic barrel stove kit and depending on the barrels steel thickness would depend on how much warping occurs. Non-epa and looking like it belongs in a garage or barn.
You can tell that hearth was set up for something else to begin with.

 

The disclaimer pops up briefly in the video "Not approved in all states"

I wouldn't imagine one anywhere but in a shop/hunting shanty

 

Not safe. That barrel will burn out. They get hot hot hot. I wouldn't consider it unless I had a cement floor and it was well away from anything. Best use for that is an incinerator outside.

 

My old fire view stove was kind of like a barrel stove but was ten times, or more, thicker steel then that barrel,
The back was 18" from the back brick and the back wall was Vented on both sides, clearance on each end was 4'.
The guy said he had two days worth of wood in the rack and then he put almost all of it in the stove and then said it would run for 24 hours.
I wonder is that a gas or propane cook stove right next to it

 

This is scarier and it is being sold as a great tent stove
It's a real Beaut Clark!! I love the awesome welding job....... I'm sure I could do better with my eyes closed!

Wood stove - $120 (Marysville)




condition: excellent

I have a wood stove that is custom made out of a propane tank and some extra parts that were bought from hardware store. It is a perfect tent stove, small cook stove. Has a fresh coat of 2000 degree rated rustoleum paint $120 OBO call or txt 1-(937)-two43-two916 thanks Dan.

 

Yeah but it's got a fresh coat of restoleum on it

 

seen those kits in northern tool. They even make them to put the second barrel ontop of the other one to help reclaim heat. i know a guy who has one in the shop and it heats pretty good.

Yea 2 days worth of wood and he stuffs most of it in there, granted the rack was not full. But That might be a scary thing with all that wood in there!!!

And after 20 years i think its time for a new barrel!!! wouldnt want that thing to burn out with an "all nighter" in there

 

But he said they built that hearth "from real stone" so they were looking for a "cheap stove to heat the place cause they did not have much money after buying the cabin" so if they made it why would they not have centered it on the hearth? i bet its hot standing there at the stove!!!

 

With that narrow hearth, I would stick a Jotul 118 Black Bear there sideways, with the door to the left. The older ones, in good shape are on CL around here for only a few hundred. I'd feel safer and probably burn a heck of a lot less wood.

 

I grew up with barrel stoves and boilers and they are safe, *if you know what you are doing*. They put out a tremendous amount of heat and are fairly good on wood.
We used them to heat the house when I was a kid and it was normally 90+ in the house.

 

90+ did y'all not have windows or did you live in south georgia of florida?

I'll have to get a photo of the shop stove. It's a piece of AK pipeline so 4ft around and it's about 8ft long. The chimney pipe is 1/4" wall. It weighs about 1500lbs. Needless to say, it can hold a ton of wood and takes a while to heat up!

 

Yeah !! I wanna see that

 

What 8feet long!! Why did you make it so long? Why not of cut if off to about 2-3 foot long?? I bet you can throw a face cord in there!

 

I bought my stove for $100 on craiglist after looking for about 2 weeks. If you have to go cheap that is fine, but there are many better options available in my opinion. I like a full ash pan, thermostat control, firebrick and a cabinet style stove to induce convection without a blower.

 

Never understood those cabinets? Or why? I think they look horrible.

But cheap heat I understand that.

 

I guess I never understood the traditional woodstove once I started using a cabinet style. The cabinet is really a shroud with about two inches clearance all the way around, the cool air enters from the bottom and rises accelerating as it reaches the top. The natural convection is so strong it will blow your hair up. You can touch the outside of the stove without getting burned, it's very safe for kids. Most cabinet style stoves have a good size firebox lined with firebrick and a cast iron grate in the bottom. They also have big deep ash pans that can hold a couple days worth of ashes. Pull the pan and go empty it without affecting the stove, it just keeps going without interruption. It also has a temperature controlled damper to let in or slow down fresh air intake. The only thing it lacks is a viewable fire, but that is not needed for heating.
