I use a single barrel Vogelzang with a 2 foot
square pan cut into the top for boiling
Maple Syrup. The barrel metal heated and puckered
between the door frame bolts
allowing a lot of extra air in, you might want to
keep an eye on it, not a huge safety factor but
will cut your burn time way down. I add some big
fender washers inside on all the bolts, will see haw that
works.
If you have an exhaust fan on a thermostat; MAKE
SURE, it cannot switch on if it gets hot when the
wood fire is running with the building
shut up tight. It will pull a draft down the chimney and melt the
stove, and possibly
the house.

Vogelzang makes the kit you assemble yourself it takes me one hour to
build a single barrel stove. You need an angle grinder to cut the stove
openings. Use Harbor Freight 771 grinding wheels they are the fastest cutters
I have found. You can see a picture and assembly instructions at Northern
Tools web site. A single barrel stove heats 1000 sq ft house a double barrel
is needed in a larger house. You would need two in a 3000 sq ft house one at
each end. I set the stoves at one end two ft from poly walls and vent thru the
wall with a two ft sq. metal area to support the flue and protect the poly. I
use a small 18" fan to move heat around. Long horizontal flue pipes give off
more heat but you will need additional draft from a small blower to be
effective..Keep a bucket of water handy when cutting into a freebee barrel you
never know when whatever the residue inside will catch fire or
explode...Bob

I have always wondered about putting together a barrel
stove for my tunnels for back up heat. How does yours work?
Are you running it at one end of the tunnel and venting it out the
endwall? Do you have a blower unit attached or are you just
radiating heat?
We supplement with wood heat during the
winter, so I have lots of wood to burn and I am always cutting. I
would love a picture or a description.
Thanks!

I use 55
gallon barrel wood stoves as back ups to my backup heaters which
are backed up by my generator which is backed up by my backup
generator all of which are attached to an assortment of flashing
lights and alarms. The wood stoves are the most dependable source of
heat in an emergency. I have always got barrels for free or for a few
bucks but since scrap metal prices skyrocketed all those barrels went
for scrap and the last two stoves I built were from brand new barrels.
If you haven't priced 55 gal drums lately you will be in for sticker
shock. BTW winter is my favorite time of the year... Bob. ---

We use those heaters when we do winter camping. You can get
them at places like Bass Pro, Cabela's or they are even in
Northern Tool Co. Use them when we Ice fish for heating up our
hut.
