Thanks for watching!
You two look like a very nice couple. Great looking build. I might mention I heated my shop
With a wood stove for a few years. I have since converted my heater to wast oil burner. My
Reason two things. Much easier to regulate heat, your not continue-less feeding the fire. Waist motor oil is also free, with not all the ash you have to clean out. It is very easy & cheap to do. You can do it in a way as to be able to use wood or oil or both if you choose.
There are tons of videos on UA-cam as to how to do it. Hope this helps!👍
Great to see the sparkle in your eyes and a smile on your face Julie keep on keepin on
Sir, you got you a hell of a good helper with that young man!
Nice stove. I’d look into putting a pipe damper to hold some heat running out the pipe
It looks great. I made a double barrel wood stove for my shop. I got a magnetic snap disc and put on the inlet to my bottom barrel so when the temp. get above 110-120 degrees the fan comes on automatically and shuts off around 90. It helps to let you know it needs more wood and letting it go at night will shut off the fan when the fire goes out.
Did you put a damper in the 6 inch exhaust pipe, I don't remember seeing one. Having one you can really keep the fire and heat inside the wood stove longer during the night. Love that design and you did a nice job. I built several wood stoves over the years, different types. My favorite ones I added thermostats so if the box was hot the blower came on, when box cooled off the blower went off.
I like your technique of using extra rod with your mig. lol.. I do that all the time;
I always save any old crusty stick rods that are crumbling, with the flux falling off, etc.. and I'll use them in that way; like a tig rod. I do it while stick welding too.. or with the mig, like you did. Great stove. Cheers
Yeah I try to not put myself in a spot where I have to do that much but sometimes you got to do what you got to do LOL
Julie, always lovely to see your smiling face. God bless you all, lots of love from England, ❤❤❤❤, Joe
Sweet stove. Better then a store bought one for sure. Thanks guys.
Always good to see julie. Hope all is well. You can make your own fire starters by using sawdust and melted wax. Put them in a muffin pan or a small form. Always start with smaller wood on the bottom and use bigger pieces on top.
Nice!
Egg crates will work for a form for the firestarter too
Happy Thanksgiving yall awesome heater great build
Thanks! You too!
It may sound counter productive but you will get more heat by running the fan on low rather than high. I have been heating with wood for over 20 years. Wife and I never opted for central heating and air.😂
So nice to have a really great heater.
Julie Its great to see you in the shop, Continued thoughts and prayers, really look forward to your videos Happy Thanksgiving
Nice to see the heat coming off that stove, even with so many saying it was wrong! I have built a couple but nothing that scale for full length pallet wood!
I like the stove. That's how I found your channel. I was looking for ideas last year for a stove for my shop. Happy Thanksgiving guys.
Awesome! Happy thanksgiving!
Oven box on that vent 😊 yum food for work🎉
You should install a secondary burn tube. It is a tube with hole to burn the flammable gas at the top of the stove.
Hey Cole you could try n make a cleat to add on the brokers n bolt them with the track bolts ...also if the tires hold up n are what the finished tire will be you might wanna look into foam filling them ....adds floatation n run flat feature to them k looking awesome tho keep up the good work
Aint nuttin like woodstove heat...i always have a stove or two around...even here in Mississippi.. 👍😎💯🇺🇲
👋, Julie...
Kick Ass Stove ! Happy Thanksgiving and Prayers for Julie and Anthony! ! ! ...NEWK from Kentucky --- Cheers!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice, but for those of us without megatools, a nice 1985 Kodiak, Buck or Fisher for $75 on Craigslist works just as well. Cheers.
Looks good, the draft optimally should pass air at bottom of fire so you can increase burn rate as needed. I use a little used motor oil on some kindling and a propane torch to start my stove, the oil just burns longer to get it going. Wood is getting to be a pain for the duration of winter temps up north so probably going to build a waste oil stove next year.
Happy Thanksgiving !
Happy thanksgiving! We really don't get enough oil for a oil burner
I like it . I just got rid of some of those fans I should have gave them to you . I’m sure it’s going to keep you warm .
I got one from you but it didn't work
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones 🙏
and to you and yours
Hi Julie, praying for you. This thing is a boiler lol. so cool. I use a small propane torch to get my fires going. Happy thanksgiving guys.
Happy Thanksgiving
Just in time for the cold! That's a cool setup. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family!
Free heat rocks! Happy Thanksgiving Anthony & Julie 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving
Awesome work guys! If you were to sell this stove ( list product as artwork to avoid liability) How much would you theoretically list it for?
Sweet Stove ! should last forever. Free Heat Is the best "!!
You know a lot of heat goes up the chimney, if you run the chimney pipe along inside near the wall you could utilise more o it's heat,😂 excellent job like the heat shield and fan idea excellent, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!Looks great 👍.. one suggestion.. add a flu dampner to the stack. Simple starter material.. a PRESTO LOG !!
Happy thanksgiving!
This is a pretty awesome year that you have built it should heat that shop really good I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving still sending prayers for your wife and everything is going good
Thanks, you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice and toasty looks good happy Thanksgiving
Love the stove! Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
Happy thanksgiving!
Cool stove! It is neat that you have free wood
Happy Thanksgiving! I make my own fire starters. I use paper egg crates. Fill the inside with dryer lint and pour wax over the top. Break one off light it and throw it in. My wife has also made them with cupcake tins. i have a plug in thermostat that i plug my fan into so it cycles. It keeps my auto shop nice and warm during the Ohio winters!
Cool ideas, plug in thermostat needs to happen soon. Happy thanksgiving!
@HardCoreFab your welcome. Happy Thanksgiving to you also
Sawdust can work for a filler as well for making firestarter
Being from the south,I mostly use fat lightered but also like cedar or cypress. Hope this is helpful
Happy thanksgiving, continued healing,I get my fire going with cardboard & charcoal lighter.
Happy thanksgiving!
Awesome rig !!! Happy Thanksgiving Fab Fam !!!!
Happy thanksgiving!
Happy Turkey Day ! Love the wood burne.r🔥
Happy thanksgiving!
Hit up your local furnace store and and pick up a couple one to put on the heat exchanger and one to move air off and around the the building past it makes a huge difference. I make fire lighter candles pill cup, wood chips from a sharp chain saw ( large chips) work best, wax and a candle wick works great. Or a pile of shredded paper that you don't want to get out in the public. Or another idea there is another youtuber in PA (outdoors with the Morgans) makes and sells fire starter that work really well to. Nice to see Julie hope all is well
Nice something to try
Very nice Kevin Julie and Connor Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
A damper in the chimney would make it heat better
Happy Thanksgiving...more healing vibes for Julie..splash a cup of used oil in there and a few seconds of torch and voila ..FIRE lol
That will do it LOL
Dampeners should always be placed at bottom or under burn surface to allow air to pass through coals to increase heat and flames.
Happy Thanksgiving 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Same to you!
Too cool. Happy Thanksgiving 👍👍
Same to you!
So cool to see the monster the wood burner in action!
With having the low medium and high wires you could run a rheostat switch so that you could have all the speeds
That might be the thing to do with the next blower
Egg nog with good brandy ! 👍😎🥂
LOL
happy thanksgiving guys great video
Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving
UL certified! 🤣 Happy turkey day!
HCF certified LOL Happy thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy thanksgiving!
Happy Turkey day everybody
Happy thanksgiving!
Dryer lint, and candle wax melted into paper egg cartons make great fire starters.
Nice!
Great job look good .👍
Thanks!
Haven't been on in some time...hows Julie doing...? Hope your holiday was good...cold up here in Wisconsin...
@FrankMetzenbauer Thanks for stopping by! She is getting by she finished her first round of chemo stuff, got another 12 weeks or so to go
Should have a flat spot on the front to keep coffee pot on and warm up ur dinner on lol
sure could
🦃🦃🦃you could've turned it into a smoker
You'd still be keeping warm and selling brisket to go
✌🏻🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
LOL I can see it now free grinding dust with your first order! For real though we did the restaurant thing for a bit and I'm so glad I got that out of my system.
All right i can almost feel the heat. Probably kicking yourself for not doing that sooner, that was definitely not a waste of time and materials
Definitely dig it
Oh and I use a cotton ball or lint packed in Vaseline. Works great when camping
Something to try
Need me a shop first. Still building my rides in the driveway on gravel. lol goals for sure though.
Awesome stove and awesome video!! One question though... why is nobody wearing shaded cutting goggles? I've done a butt ton of Oxy-Acetylene cutting in my life and that flame is BRIGHT!!!
@@michaelcard1973 we actually cut with propane and oxygen
@HardCoreFab ah OK! That makes sense now! TY.
Hope your wife is doing better
Glad to see JULIE in good spirits, why isnT Connor wearing a hard-core sweatshirt lol 😅
next week when the new order shows up
I burn cut up pallets as well, crazy how much wood goes to landfill I burn everything in the shop other than metal or glass waste
@samschultz5781 Yeah, we probably don't need a dumpster for the next few months.
@@HardCoreFab once she gets hot it’ll eat oil jugs and everything mine does lol, happy new year
@@HardCoreFabmine eats up oil jugs or whatever u can throw in once she’s hot lol, happy new year
Also-- One other thing you can do, is to drill a couple half inch holes through the front cover.. towards the top of the barrel, and put in a long pipe all along the top, and drill little holes all through it------ then you put some sort of valve or plate on the front of the holes, so that you can vary the inflow....... This is for a "secondary burn" ----- Fires are not 100% efficient, so there will still be a lot of hot gasses in the top of the barrel, and they just end up going out of the chimney.... If you put a few of these pipes along the top (with random little holes drilled in it) - each little hole will have a little flame coming off of it, like a gas stove.. . It just introduces fresh oxygen to mix with that extra gas cloud in the top and it will burn all that extra fuel (when the fire is hot enough)... Super easy to do-- You can just drill your holes front and back and stick your pipe all the way through, and then weld around it on both ends, to seal it.. (and cap the back end)... Then you just need some simple way to open and close them -- with another slider or whatever you want to build, along the front. Very good upgrade to a stove like this. This is all that the fancy "efficiency" stoves do.. Plus you can build a shield into the top of it too, to capture the heat before it escapes straight out of the pipe; (which you clearly already understand this idea, by how you built your baffles for the fan.)
This is interesting I might give it a try when it warms up
@@HardCoreFab Yeah.. there are plenty of videos on here showing different ways people have done it.... It's especially good at getting more heat out of smaller fires, and making your wood go further.......... another thing I like to do is put a 2" or even 3" pipe right along the peak of the barrel (also on the inside)-- and on each end -- turn up with an elbow-- so they they stick up like little short chimneys: and you can fill that tube with water; this way it will boil off and put out some steam as you're burning -- and keep the shop/house from getting so dry. Because wood stoves will suck all the water out of the air and make it really dry and your lips are cracking and it's just kinda miserable........... So that tube is like a built in humidifier. Another easy upgrade-- very useful. So you're not only controlling the temperature-- you can control the humidity also. Get yourself a little $5 thermometer/ humidity gauge set.. and you can track them both very easily... Just adjust how much water you add to it. Simple, but makes a huge difference.
A lot of people used a motor oil drip to start the fire.
Nice
........ it was at this moment he realized he cut through the forklift forks with the gasaxe
if you find an old used gasgrill with a plate you can probably put a hotplate over the top that gets hot enough to cook meat or put a pan of soup on to warm up (might need to keep an eye on it though)
@@watahyahknow haha
Add a oil drip to your wood stove
@dougjencks9158 only get about oil 10 gallon a year
Ceiling fans to keep the heat down lower
@@sheilamclaughlin963 that's not a bad idea
If its 110 white is common red is low blue is med black is high
Neat
You should just put your fan on low... It's plenty of air, and less noise.
Honestly.. It would be best to just hook up a proper switch for it... At least have high and low. So you can turn it down and lower the annoying noise.. I bet it's not really helping much anyway, on high vs low... Because your pathway it probably too restrictive.. So just running it on low should be the best bet, IMO........ It would almost be better to just set the fan to blow right above the stove -- and then it will have some force and actually push some of that heat across the shop....
Now that I have used it for a while I can say that high VS low really doesn't change much. Also my first fan fell apart and I have a smaller one on it now and you also don't see much differences with it either. I did try a regular shop fan blowing above it and through it while changing between the two and that didn't work worth a darn
I really like your stove and why waste materials when you can reuse them and free firewood hell yeah all day long stuff cost too much as it is no matter what you're doing
I agree!
You may want to put that fan that’s on a heater on medium not real high a medium test that out
hi next time build a wood gasifier turn wood into propane gas at can run a gas heater
@@thegadgetboy5851 i don't know anything about that. I'll look into it
You could make money building and selling dog houses and ice fishing shacks with some of that wood😅
Ice fish around here doesn't happen very often
So what part is free, cost to weld ,cost to pick up pallets, weeks of labour. Oh yea it's free I FORGOT.
The part where there is no monthly bill after it's installed.
Oh well I had several big ones to I thought it worked . Sorry about that .
it's all good I was just hoping it would work out
Music is bad!
It must be hard going though life not liking music but hey UA-cam has you covered with volume controls.
No such thing as FREE heat
So what i guess it should say no monthly heating bill?!?!
@@HardCoreFab You can call it anything you wish and make any claims you want. But John Q public will be watching and commenting. Free means - no cost associated - correct ?. You have costs that you are ignoring to include along with labor etc. There are a bunch of folks on the Tube that make the same claims about free heat. If the gas company supplied me with free gas for my heat , I still wouldn't be able to honestly make a video showing my nice toasty warm gas stove and say I have free heat. Too many other things in the mix to make that claim.
