    Having worked in a farm huge metal building repair shop many years ago, these are great during the rainy, snowy, winter days. The older mechanics made a removeable metal griddle that sat on top of the lower drum so that breaktimes you could heat up or toast some bread, fry some sausages, even a few eggs, bacon, etc for the crew. There's not a lot of space between the drums, but it just occurred to me that I bet there's a way to make great coffee with one of those double chamber Italian coffeemakers, just extend the griddle out a bit somehow for it to sit on and conduct the heat. When the power goes out in the winter (which often happened), you'd be set. Also, they had a suspended metal frame above the stove where you could spread out and warm up damp work gloves. In our modern world where so much is manufactured, the handmade solutions often bring back the best memories.

    My uncle had a couple of these when I was younger. One in his mechanic's shop for work and one in his garage at home. They weren't all fancy with the flanges, he just cut and welded some pipe between them to hold the upper chamber and act as a means to transfer the heat, and he filled the upper chamber with scrap steel so it would collect and radiate the heat even after the fire went out.

    Cool stove. Great video. I’m an HVAC tech and the only illegal thing I see is the way the venting connects, you did it upside down. Crimps of stove pipe, or any venting, need to be in the direction of air flow to eliminate flue spillage. So crimps should be going upwards or smoke or CO will leak out.

    • @luckysevenairammo1217
      @luckysevenairammo1217 2 роки тому +4

      Wrong, on woodstove applications (only) you always run the male opposite the flow, this keeps creosote and condensation from running out of the joint onto the exterior of the pipe. And flue installations the pipe is the opposite of HVAC since it is under vaccuum not pressure. Under pressure like (HVAC) the flow works best male with flow. On a woodstove you are asking for a creosote fire on the outside of the pipe.

I remember these in houses back in the day; they could warm up a draughty uninsulated space in no time and keep it that way (though they wouldn't hold a fire overnight). I guess the single-wall rolled steel isn't as fire-safe as heavy cast iron; is that why they banned them from living spaces?

    It may not be "illegal" to make and use on of these barrel wood stoves, but if it fails and burns down your house or garage, then the insurance company will not pay for damages. I have seen these in people's garages and they work pretty good to heat the place up in the colder months. The problem is that heat generated, melts the bottoms out. They have to be lined with stove bricks. I would like to see a wood stove made out of a 275 gallon oil tank. I made a burner barrel for my dad which took 3 years to burned out, but it was used outside and was getting rained on. Cool video through. Thanks.

      Yeah my dad made one out of an oil tank just like you're saying, except that he uses it for burning garbage and small brush outside so he doesn't have to get a permit. He just slams the door shut. It's a bit of a monstrosity. As for melting the bottoms out, we always let so much ash accumulate in the bottoms of our single barrel stove that it was plenty insulating.

      I agree..if someone doesn’t like your method of making a video, please don’t complain…no one is forcing you to watch. It’s just one guy and he does a great job, please show some gratitude for everything he is teaching you. Filming while actually making these things is not as easy as he makes it look. In fact, it’s very hard. This is a very talented, good man. If he didn’t take the time to be detailed, he would get complaints about that.
      I’m a older woman and I’ll probably never make anything he’s making, but I appreciate his dedication, skill, and mannerly disposition. He’s teaching you all for free!
      God bless him and show some love for everyone. We all need more love and grace. God bless everyone.

    Saw a double barrel stove in Northern Idaho where a guy had cut out the ends of the top barrel, then he put the ring around the inner barrel welded in a 30 gal barrel with no ends in it, and placed a fan in the back to heat a very large shop. I think it was his own design. I saw it 35 or 40 years ago in St. Maries, Idaho.

    • @robertf6523
      @robertf6523 3 роки тому

    Nope, to put the flanges on the same side defeats the whole purpose of the upper barrel. It's the same principle as with Finnish masonry heaters. You
    want the hot gases to travel a maximum distance before they are released, so they have more time and area to give off their heat.

    I haven't seen these heaters since traveling through British Colombia and the Yukon in the early 1970s. I suppose they're still in use there, because they're the most effective heaters I've ever seen. When the temperature outdoors was around 40 below, one of these would heat a very large, high-ceilnged room to the point of being too warm for comfort. Make no mistake: if you want real heat, get one of these. They work!

The only problem I had with it was birds would fly down the stove pipe until I put a screen over it. And I sold the place to a friend of mine who is still using it now. My father in law put a rebar grate in it to keep the fire off the bottom. The drums have never been replaced. I don't know why he would say that it is illegal. It may be in his state. I have put a smaller one in my shop just last year. Just one drum on this one.

Not for cutting from the start to the finish of a complete cut in sheet metal. Green and Red handled snips are both used to cut straight line cuts from start to finish in sheet metal ... The difference between Red and Green handled snips is which way they curl the sheet metal; up to the right or up to the left; as the cut progresses from start to finish in sheet metal. Hope this helps.

They were ugly but they worked great to heat a garage up. often you had 1 side of you cooking, the side away from the stove was chilled ~;)

    The 3" pipe piece in between the barrels was installed upside down. If you imagine the flow of air/smoke it will leak out at both ends the way it was installed.

    • @tj1373
      @tj1373 3 роки тому +8

      That’s incorrect. The pipes are meant to go exactly how he placed them. Stove pipes always go in this direction. The reason being that any moisture or condensation will not leak out. Smoke will follow within the chimney with any reasonable draft that’s needed for the stove to operate properly.

    I like step-by-step videos. For those wanting a start to finish, it's not too hard to add videos to set playlists as they are uploaded. Also, if you feel up to it, you could take all of the video you have and edit it into a compilation video at the end of a piece. Take your time with them, and I'm sure they'll be appreciated. Either and both options are nice ways to gauge how long a project takes.
    Blessings upon you and yours.

    Here in Finland, wood burning stoves were practically compulsory in every house since the beginning of the cold war until very recently. To get a planning permission, you had to file a statement under heading "Winter heat source during periods of inavailability of imported fuels" meaning situations where electricity, gas or oil is not available. That was in effect until year 2012, if I remember correctly, and thus almost every house has some kind of a fireplace.

      MMORPG87 When I used to install stoves we put the female ends down so that the creosote would flow down into the stove. If your pipe is not drafting well and your joints aren’t tight. Use some filler to fill in the gap’s. If you still have smoke then you have a draft problem.

    • @luckysevenairammo1217

      That would be wrong on a woodstove. Male ends always should point down. Otherwise creosote will leak outside and possibly catch fire.
