Had a Blaze King Sirroco 20 in 800 sq ft cabin it heated that well insulated cabin amazingly. Never used electrics. Put wood in twice a day 8 am and 6pm. If I filled the box it would burn for twenty hours plus depending on what type of wood. Oak being the best. I live in the city on and sure miss that chore. The dry heat on those cold days. The house is always cold. With the Blaze king I brought in cold air for the burn, and pressured the cabin forcing the cold out. Was cheap to run. Brilliant stove
I like this little design But I'll tell you what on my little barrel stove in the garage about 3/4 of the way to the flu. I placed a vertical wall covering most of the back then I added a grate along the bottom with enough room for air to flow down around that wall and up the chimney. I would highly highly recommend it made that thing almost glow. Was quite a pain to get the draft right but I imagine putting a bypass door would alleviate that
The way the fire works now is it burns downward through the grate and along the bottom of the barrel then up the back and it sends a considerable amount more heat through the garage instead of the chimney
A vertical wall blocking the top completely and only open at the bottom at a grate? Im trying to imagine. As long as the draft is strong enough to draw the burn wherever it goes, sounds like it would work.
@@sixlegsnimrod Yeah that's pretty much it and it worked tremendously well. Mine was just a test. I used some sheet metal I cut and a great out of a Coleman grill and it got hot enough to melt both. But when I go back out to it, I'll put a thicker wall in and a heavier grate and it should work quite well. I would like to add secondary air but I don't think there's a need my fire box isn't big enough
These cast iron wood stoves are acceptable for insurance while home made stoves are not! So with a home made stove and your house/shop burns down lots a luck getting your insurance to pay up!
Anyway yes, im in michigan. Used to listen to JJ, Dick the bruiser, Bullwinkle, the mayor of the fair city of detroit, Al Kaline, and Mr Stess all thru high school and beyond. Great stuff back then.

I just looked up that blaze king. those burn times sound too good to be true for a stove that size. if its true, that is great
That temp gauge needs to be 18” up the pipe
why do want me to move it there?

I guess you can tell how clean its burning by looking at the smoke while its burning where you like it. No visual smoke then its already burning good.

The slotted plate below the door should slide(pull it out away from the door) open to allow max air intake on that style stove.

Insulation ? -> Ubakus
pro software, free untranslate
Plans results phasing thermics / hygrometry air
The Rif…you in SE Mich?
why do you ask my friend
Just curious. WRIF is well known around here. Looks like one of their banners from the 80’s!
