I'm designing a barrel stove, and will be using a 30-Gallon Stainless Steel barrel. The secondary combustion air supply tubes will also be SS. The black iron pipe I used for the first stove burned out in a few areas. I will also design a larger door with larger stove glass, and a more...

I had the chance to take some pictures of the 30-gallon barrel stove with an IR camera. You guys might get a kick out of them. I ordered a SS barrel and will be working on a REV. A model. Can you tell where the fireplace is located inside the house?

Sarge, What is the temperature range as the hot air exits? Your stove looks very functional and efficient Ernst

Here is a video of the secondary air tubes operating. You can see flames shooting from the area close to the holes on the bottom and top tubes. The hot air is being drawn into the fire box without any input pressure. Outside temp is 15F....30-gallon unit keeps a 90 year old brick bungalow...

These videos inspired me to make my wood burning barrel stove.

BurleyMike/Babzog Adding the steel across the entire top to increase the exhaust path to the front, made an incredible difference. The residue on the inside of the barrel's top plate and secondary combustion iron pipe is now a tan color. The only downside is that wood consumption has gone up...

Excellent advise. I added a steel plate to the top of the black steel pipe, but I think I should have made the steel plate wider. Does the baffle extend to the sides of the barrel, so that most (if not all) the heat/exhaust travels to the front of the barrel? I can see the benefit of making a...

I used a transparent ceramic known as NeoCeram (wood stove glass). According to their web information: About NeoCeram® Neoceram® is commonly referred to as glass but it is actually a transparent ceramic. Neoceram is 3/16" or 5mm thick. Ideal Solution for Woodstoves Unlike true glass...

I just put one together with a 30-gallon steel drum. Originally wanted to use a stainless steel drum, but found out they cost $450. The 30-gallon drum was ordered without paint from Skolnik Industries (www.skolnik.com). I modified the cast iron door so that I could see into the barrel. The...
