Is he still even flying? How old is that?

I guess there is a sales pitch for all types....

No idea. Website looks less than stellar... Stumbled upon it from a thread about a 2 years ago.

He makes some pretty interesting claims.

I was just in the town where these are manufactured last sat. Never heard of them. I wonder how there EPA compliance testing went

I'm on the other side of Iowa. If they were closer I'd go check them out for fun. Doubt they are in production anymore. This ain't the 70s.

I made one like that out of an old oil tank. Not something i would use in my house. Possibly in a barn or large garage. How many CU Ft is the inside of a 275 Gal oil tank ,a lot more than 11 .

I suppose it's better than the 55gal barrel kits that way too many people are using.

They work quite well in the right setting ,i used one in a basement with a dirt floor. Never overfired. I found you have to replace the barrels about every 2 to 3 years. Actually safer than those china Boxwood stoves sold at TSC.

Yes safer than the boxwoods but thats not saying much. I wouldnt burn either in my house

If you look at a Vermont Elm stove you will see what happens when someone starts with a 55 gallon drum stove and makes it into a real stove.

I like how in the special notes he says that his stove has no firebricks and that stoves with firebricks need the bricks to be changed yearly.......I guess I better get some firebrick because I have been using the same bricks for 8 years now!

People reporting getting 20 to 30 yrs out of them.

I don’t doubt it. It’s similar to all the big wood hog furnaces that are out there. I pulled a 36 year old furnace out of this house when I bought it.

Had never heard of that stove before. Interestingly enough - they made one with a Cat...

Also, what the hell is going on in this picture!?

I think that guy has had at least one thread per year since 2010 here.

Here's one from last year.

At a guess, that looks like an original small fireplace that was converted to a really cool homemade masonry heater. That's neat!

My place is nothing. But my great-great uncles house, which is 3 full stories and was legitimately a "farm" when he owned it, is another story:



I don't see any wood furnace heating it, unless fed by treadmill.
