    Love it Allen!Re using that door is perfect.I built a similar stove years ago from a 12" square tube scrap.I didn't get much heat out of it until I put a baffle below the pipe to trap the heat inside and make the smoke find it's way out.Won't take much for you to reach in there and tack something below the hole a few inches.

    Great video build. Take the piece of scrap you cut out for the big chimney pipe and hang it on short chains welded inside just under the hole to create resistance to make the flame and heat go around it. You can play with how high or low you hang it. That will keep a lot more of heat inside your Firebox area . Maybe put some sand in the bottom.😊

    These wood stoves kinda remind me of a little Ben Franklin's first wood stove but they are called potbelly stoves I can't say for sure he invented them but when he introduces them to the public they thought he was crazy that they would explode but he proved them wrong so they been in use for over 200 years it just now new innovations has brought back in use again in many ways

  • @Highnz57

    Badass!
    I like this design. I want to do something similar but add a 20# propane tank on top so the chimney runs through it with a flap. So when the flap is closed the smoke will bypass the tank and only heat gets in so I can use as an oven. Or can open the flap, let the smoke in, and can use it as a smoker.
    Thanks for the video. Got a lot of good ideas.

    That lifetime grill is exactly like my early made Oklahoma Joe or real simaler to Horizon backyard. They are set up the same way. Not bad I can tell you they need tuning plates! The cooker runs very hot on the firebox end. It needs a slight lean away from firebox so the grease drains and don't fuel the fire. They also need drain valve put in. Firebox needs a slide in wood / charcoal basket and a grate to keep the heat up off the firebox floor. They arent bad just need some upgrades. Post the video when you do the upgrades. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    Ever thought about just putting down 3-4 inches of gravel dust all around your working area? It packs down hard as concrete and if you decide to move you can just throw some grass seed on it and grass will grow back just fine there. Normally cost between $4-12 a ton, the delivery fee is going to be around $150 regardless, so you just as well off getting 16 tons as you are getting 6. Then you have to move and spread it, that is the tough part especially if you have to pick up all your stuff to get it on top of the dust, but the hassle would be worth it to no longer be losing stuff in the mud. I dunno, just a thought; thanks for the videos.

    Thats One Nice stove 👍!!! U should patent it & sell the patent to a heater company. I bet it gets hot as Haidees in there? My brother built one out of a 55 gallon drum & I talked him into putting a re-enforced floor with firebrick in bottom. Because a barrel is not as thick as what U used & they will burn out holes in them without a brick or thicker steel bottoms. I myself have a BUCK STOVE Heavy Fireplace insert wood heater with thermostat controlled blowers. It gets so dang hot in my house i cant run the blowers. If U run the blowers on that Buck Stove I gotta sit in ur dang underwear or I'll burn up hahahahaha. True!! But with the blowers off it stays warm but i still lose alot of heat up the chimney.
    Good thing about a round heater up off the floor like yours, is alot of your heat stays in the room.
    I wish the video wouldve been a little longer & we could've seen the whole process a little slower.
    Maybe U should consider putting some sandstone gravel down behind ur house? It will keep alot of the water & rainy muddy mess to a minimum. Its cheaper than gravel & it works better for situations like yours.
