I think that Darwin had a really good point after seeing that stove.

Oh MAN, he has another one there on how to make a fire in the stove! Used Motor Oil! Oh man...
all to the classic rock tunes of BOSTON (or is it Journey?) hahahahaha

Oh yeah, and there's one on the dog, which is not even his, it's his neighbor's... and is NOT named Wolf!

Man, this guy is a nut. He is, however, still alive so far, since the video of the dog was added today!
He has hundreds of other vids on there, crashing cars, blowing up appliances, letting 8 year olds drive solo, but the most exciting ones are the ones where he starts cars that have been sitting for a long time, whoo hoo!

OMG that guy has redefined what I was thought a retard was! I love how he says it is the the most efficient stove known to man! Oh and the potato masher cleanout tool what a doozy lol... I wonder if his "stove" is UL approved?

That dude definitely gives us "home-made" stove makers a BAD NAME.

He's just showing off his retired guy clubhouse. I'm sure his wife is relieved. Busy guy, around 500 videos posted on YouTube over the past year, or some such. Compares to my grand total of 0. Of course, I have a life.

I wouldnt want to be around when that glowing white hot metal let loose and lands on the ground below instantly catching his couch on fire thats only about five feet away.

Yes. He may be living in a concrete bunker, but there is about 1/2 cord of fuel sitting behind the couch. Wonder how many bugs and varmits make their home in that pile.

BG he probably doesn't have that many if any bugs.
They would take one look at that stove and get out of dodge.

I can't imagine how hot he is getting that thing to be able to see inside the stove when it is running.
Must put out allot of heat though.
And if he keeps it will heat his building to ~2K degrees, now that is hot. :bug:

I have a feeling safety is no concern to Dave.His Redneck rollercoaster seems like a rolloing death trap.

Geezzee, I can usually watch an idiot and laugh; not this time. It would scare the crap out of me if my stove turned white then translucent. I wouldn't want to be his insurance agent.

are you kidding? the bugs and varmints left ages ago , one look at the 3 barrel deathtrap over by the couch and im sure they went outside to freeze, bugs are smart. this guy however words to describe his stupidity escape me.

if anyone knows who carlos mencia is this dude is a DEDEDE

NOT CARLOS ,THE DOOBER CHEESE THAT WILL GUVE THE FIREDEPT SOME PRACTICE

Ah man, the stuff about the dog upsets me. It's his neighbor's dog! It's going to get burnt up or hit by the redneck roller coaster! Dang. I love dogs.

I don't know what's worse, the Darwin award stove or the fact that everyone who posted comments on Youtube thinks the guy is a freaken' genius. Makes you wonder sometimes.

Maybe just a premature april fools joke? If not, the joke will be on him :coolsmirk:

Was referring to the fire. As far as the idiot driving the car goes? Not sure if hanging would be decent justice?

Since I was back on hearth.com, I thought I would try to see if this dude with the translucent woodstove (and multifaceted deathwish) was still alive. And shockingly, he IS! He has thousands of videos on there now. Blowing up stoves, crashing flaming refrigerators, putting fireworks in microwaves!

Is this better? "I don't know what the EPA stands for"

Think im gonna call this gut and order 4 no maybe 5 of these barrelcontraptions
ive gotta give it to him hes pretty handy if he can make one in three hours
dont get me wrong hes still a retard(politically uncorrect)

Here's the good and bad. The good is: Mr. I'mawoodstovebuilder lives way back there. Not anywhere near me. The bad news is: I read and viewed this late this evening. I am not going to sleep well.

I think this thread should die a sudden death before someone else wants to build a 95% efficient stove.

Years ago I had a shop stove built from a piece of high pressure steam boiler tube, by someone who knew what he was doing. That thing could crank out the heat, was a top loader and left almost no ash. If it was fiber it could burn it. I heated two winters with it and didn't mind it's ugly look, but would never have used it in a place I lived..... It could run-away and glow red without warning if I was careless.

Thanks guys, I'll get a few chapters read tonight.

At least it's not a soap stone. . .
