The Barrel Stove Thread

Sweet. When I was a young lad, teen yrs; I used to hang out with my neighbor, Used to call him uncle Don, who was almost 60. In his barn shop, he had a double barrel stove w steel flue pipe out the side and up past roof.
We built it, welded it together w stick welder. No kit, just had 3/8 steel door w hand made hinges..He taught me so many things. I was a lucky kid.
It would heat that 50 by 30 foot shed like the sun heats a hothouse in a field in Alabama mid summer..
Sorry to say Don passed away from the cancer when I was 20. ..21 years ago. He was a good friend. I was like a son to him..
Rip don.

 

I built one as an evaporator and after working in the barn on my wife's car this weekend I wished I had more than the wimpy electric heater in there. The evaporator wouldn't work due to open top but now that I know how to build one it wouldn't be bad to do another.

I just can't figure out where'd I put it not to take up a bunch of room and how I'd do the exhaust.
