Did some cutting and grinding at home, but did the welding at school. The legs and bottom cap are some pieces I rescued from the scrap bin.
Painted it with High-Temp BBQ paint.

| Stove in Action. That's a dura-flame in the fuel magazine and the flame is burning downwards... |
After a few firings using a Dura-flame log, results are rather good. Body got hot enough to glow a dull red, so I'm guessing in the ballpark of 600-700 degrees F. Flame shoots out about 6-inches from the top of the stack, so considering the burn chamber is about 20" and a 30" stack, that's a 4 foot flame.
Future plans: A 55 gal metal drum for a heat collector and some Fiberglass tape to insulate the body and the stack. Why? I'm going for portability, so wheels will eventually be stuck to those stubby legs and it will be moved about wheel-barrow style.
The next time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to learn, however I truly thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you might repair for those who werent too busy searching for attention. usa online casino
ReplyDeleteDespite what others say, your blog Is Interesting and the design looks like a good base for a heater or stove. Since you built and have put it to use I'm interested in anything you would do different. I'm looking to build one that is semi portable, for a stove or garage heat. It wood be perfect for boiling down maple syrup.
