Welding up a wood stove from 1/4” steel truck rims not a paper thin 55 gal drum for more strength!

Hello
This stove is strong to last long!

 

that was hard to watch "my dudes."

 

I've watched a lot of that guy's videos. He's a good welder, but he's also a young guy and often tries things with no experience--of course, that's how you learn. That said, I wonder how he cleans the ashes out without having to remove that heavy rack every time.

 

I was wondering the same thing with the rack.I even said why bother my wood stove burns very well with no rack.

 

with no bricks or sand in bottom -might be reason for rack

 

I tend to agree with you.

I cannot say anything, in part because my father made a nice stove one time out of a 275 oil drum (a lot of irony in that I suppose), but here people sell woodstoves cheap, or even give them away if you get to know them.

But the point of YouTube Channels is to get subscribers to get advertisers so doing something, even if there are other ways to do so, is how it is done.
