I've watched this vid many times over the years and I'm happy to report that today is the day when I go to buy steel to build something similar but with an additional heat exchanger on the flue pipe. Thanks for the inspiration brother!
Tom you built an awesome stove there brother, and the number one thing I took from this video is how much you love your family and built a garage where everyone would have something to do and interact with mom and dad...you are probably nominated every year for family reunions ! Thank you for sharing the stove build and your marvelous shop mister....
Looks great stove if you don't paint it you can spray whale oil over it, it will turn it blue and hopefully it won't go rusty. This has to be done when it's really hot worth a try 🤣👍
Absolutely gorgeous heater (and shop). After seeing your video I would have made three changes. The first is something that my heater has and it's a must have I reckon. That's an ash tray below the door. It catches all the ashes and coal that would usually roll out. The second is I would have angled the pipes up slightly so that they would cool through convection with the hot air venting out the front and being sucked in from the rear even without the fan. The 3rd change would be to mount the fan either down low or even under the heater so that it isn't exposed to nearly as much radiant heat. Being down low would also aid in the convection air flow cooling it as well.
Plus the fan won't be sticking out in the walk way near as much. I like your suggestions for sure.. Except for the ash tray; it tends to just make a mess. I just leave the ash in the bottom of mine until it gets so full that it's in the way, and then I'll just dig it out with a shovel or small bowl dumped into a bucket. It only takes a few minutes and you're not having to clean it all the time Maybe once a month at the most.. But also secondly, it makes your fires burn every last bit of coal, and lastly the ash acts as a good insulator, keeping the fire off of the bottom of the barrel. I also have a steel grate sitting on a couple of bricks at the bottom, under the ash. But I don't even clean that out. I just scope out the ash down to the grate, which acts as a raised bottom. Then maybe once a season I would go ahead and pull the grate and clean out the entire stove-- but then I realized, what's the point?-- It quickly fills right back up with ash, and stays full of ash for the entire season anyway-- So now I just leave it in there mostly (under the grate at least); and consider it as part of the build, like fire brick lining, etc. lol.. The ash is your friend- until it starts to pile up and get in the way.
Just wanted to let you know; as a first time home buyer and a younger person; i really appreciate this video. Ive been getting sick of the 1000$/month bills for propane to heat my shop for the winter months. Ive been looking around for months for a blueprint… or a decent idea etc. and then i found this. This is neat, simple enough and sure as hell will heat my 62x42 shop with 32’ ceilings. Thank you i will be doing the same idea out of a 500L “D” shaped slip tank.
Excellent wood stove, especially for a shop, The blower through the heat exchange pipes was a particularly ingenuous addition. Keep the air intake low on the stove, and it'll be comfortable enough with a shirt on and not using too much wood. Switch to hardwood for a slow burn and the damn thing will pay for itself. Definitely envious of your workshop, ever person should have as much space to be creative and productive.
Both my Ars Cheek's froze solid during you guys argument over air pressure and flow efficiency , shut up and throw more wood on the fire instead of piss , beautiful craftsmanship to the maker , and thank all for their inputs ! Love your Play Barn !!
Any simple large fan, placed above or next to the stove, pointed directly at the stove, will remove MUCH more heat from stove and also mix air in the room(because hot air rise to the ceiling ). Adding heat sink fins to the outside of stove and chimney (which is much more easier then inside pipes) will make heat removal even more efficient. Thank you for video.
I do exactly what you said with my wood stove. I have a 20” floor fan that constantly circulates the heated air from the living room through the kitchen and down the hallway. I sometimes have to open the door down to the garage and bring cold air upstairs to mix in. Even when its below freezing I can walk on my tiles in the kitchen barefoot. My gas bill barely moves in winter. I turn it on to raise the temperature 1 degree when I come home to a cold stove. Sometimes I step out on the deck to cool down. Sleep like a baby next to the stove many times while the rest of the house is warming up.
I think if your stove was equipped the way his is, it would drive you right out of your house. That's a big shop he's heating up in a fairly short time. I can't imagine having a space like that and not spending most of my time there. This guy's probably too busy with his yacht and his helicopter.
Beautiful welding and planning. I dont think you left anything out. My only suggestions would be... ceiling fan, speed control on blower, barometric damper. These suggestions would just be icing on the cake to tweak a very nice job. Thanks for sharing
I put a grate to hold the wood just below the height of your door ( the top of the grate is removable for cleaning) then made an access clean out door to make it easier to remove the spent ash from below the grate. if you have the time try converting your lower central heat exchange tube just above the stove door into a secondary air intake and you will need less wood for heating. Drilling holes in this tube inside the stove will help to burn off almost all smoke from the lower primary fire. I have done this with older wood stoves and it works great. On one stove like yours I added a extension tube to bring its air closer to the top of the stove to help burn the rising smoke. I really like to see a wood stove heater like yours being built and put into use ! Great job....
I love when people leave all the comments about what they would have done what you should do yet this guy was the only one making a video so I just like to say that's such a beautiful shop and an awesome stove design I am a little jealous, I won't tell you what I would have done because I obviously didn't or I would have made a video
Hey, love the stove. One thing to keep in mind, you’ve made this out of a P1 material or carbon steel. 790 is pushing it for longevity. Read about creep strength of carbon steel or P1 materials. You’ll wear your tubes out in a hurry getting them super hot. 650 is about max for longer life. Thanks for the video!
I ordered stainless steel for a secondary air tube to go to the back of the stove. So I got a coupler and a 90 degree elbow and then the pipe - all 1/2 inch.
You can add a thermostat to the stove to control the blower. When I was growing up, we had a forced air wood stove that had a built in thermostat. The blower came on when it got hot enough and then shut off automatically when the fire cooled down. Just a thought.
Leave the awesome metallic color. No contest. That looks amazing as is. And I love black but ain’t no comparison in this case. Shows the hard work too.
Very nice wood stove,i wouldn't change a thing if it works witch im sure it dose. It's amazing how many other opinions people have. You did great, thanks for sharing.
Outstanding build. I would consider adding a long box to the bottom that has a sealed door and interior pull rake /plate so that you can empty the ash easier which I assume you have to do every season. Looks awesome regardless.
Nice stove. I was involved in building a stove like yours, a few years ago. We designed it to burn used engine oil. Using a drip method A fan was used to blow air through the tubes. Wood to get things started and the oil drip was measured with a valve. The only thing we found out was the chimney bellowed black smoke, using straight used oil. We thinned the oil with kerosene and then there was less black smoke. Straight kerosene burned to hot. Oil kept the burning down to a managing level.
I recently traded an old dirt parts bike for 60 ft of schedule 40 pipe. Just found a use for it. Thanks for the video and sharing. Great idea for the door, hard to make it for 50 bucks. NS 🇨🇦🍻👍
Fantastic work. You've inspired me to make something similar. One idea you may wish to consider is to put an electronic speed controller on the fan. That way you can control the air without needing to lower the baffle and you get to save power and lower the noise at the same time.
Years ago when I was young I was a Logger . The shop was about that size it worked great , like you said you can go through the wood . Then we added a used oil furnace to get rid of the used oil out of the Equipment on the other end of the shop , between them both it was nice , didn't have to ware coveralls so that made it nicer when we worked . God Bless
Nice shop . I’m got a 40x70 shop . I put in two work room in the shop . Because we’re in Texas we deal with cold & the heat . In the work rooms we run combination AC and heater. Looking to build a heater stove . for Rest of the shop . I like your design . With the blower on it . Nice job .
Nicely done! My funny thought was how to add a pizza stone in it! LOL Looks like you could use a couple of ceiling fans in there too to help winter or summer. My dad used to sell ducted fans for energy efficiency in lager building. A round flex duct 10" in diameter one end at the ceiling apex the other at the floor with a fan attached at the floor. Switched on it would pull hot air in from the ceiling and deliver it back to the floor. Another way to use these would be to pull preheated air from the ceiling and push it through your heat exchanger on the stove boosting the heat coming out the front. Just some thoughts. Love the stove you made!
We have been doing a lot of research into a budget wood stove for our new studio, and there is an old tank just like this on the property. Great idea, thanks so much for sharing, and grats on the BULL elk!
I can't believe you got ANY thumbs down. Blows me away when people go out of their way to share things like your awesome stove you built just so some JACKHOLES will hate on it. Thanks for sharing! Great video!
I feel like giving him a thumb down for shooting something with a bow. I won't bother, the fire's great, so's the workshop, but I'm not giving him a thumb up. I was going to leave a comment about the bow but thought I'd scroll through and see if anyone mentioned it. Came across this comment, and thought, well... maybe that's why he got thumbed down. etc. The problem I have with bows and arrows is 'slow death, shock, and pain'. If I had to hunt people I'm sure they too would prefer a quick death to a lingering one. Rich dentists who fly to Africa to take on big game ... rich assoles.
Good work! Couple of things to consider: 1) build a "jacket" around it with about 20mm gap. Leave a hole at the bottom and the top. This will create a natural convection, which will draw more heat out into the workshop. It will also provide a cooler surface, adding to safety. 2) to improve tip 1, add a fan to force air through the jacket. 3) get some ducting from the peak of the roof to the floor with a fan inline. The temperature difference between floor an ceiling is huge. Bring all that hot air down to where you are. Have fun, and keep playing with fire!
Thanks! obviously most of the inspiration came from your video and another video called mikes rat rod wood stove. Im in the process of making some upgrades to it now (thermostat, fresh air intakes, ect.) Ill post it when I get it wrapped up. Thanks again for your video you made, I couldnt have made my stove without it!
Some thoughts: use a thermostat, not a timer. Takes the guess work right out. Use a variable speed fan, adjusts to the need in real time. Put the damper as high up the pipe as possible, that pipe radiates heat, might as well make 7 feet of it radiate than 1 foot. Plumbing in outside air would make the stove more efficient. Learn what an upside down fire is. Stacking stones/bricks around it will moderate the heat and hold heat a long time after the fire goes out Sitting a water tank next to it would provide hot water and more thermal mass. Looks good...I think I will build a stove soon as well... the price of them are outrageous and not as good
lol, yes its been awesome. years ago my dad gave me the best advice about building a shop. He said figure out exactly what you think you need then double it and youll always have enough space for what you aren't thinking about now......dad was right
I watch this video in aw of the heater masterpiece as though I actually have the time, tools, or knowledge to try and build one LOL! Looks awesome and love the one of a kind relic :)
Your stove is truly a thing of beauty, and somewhat larger than my Fatsco Pet Stove, which would actually fit inside your stovepipe! The perfect stove for the perfect playroom! Congratulations on your marksmanship with a bow.
Just came across this video and I love the stove. Definitely want to do something similar when I build my shop. I was always thinking about how I would do the fan and now I know. Great video and great looking stove.
Looks great! One upgrade would be to add a snap switch to the blower. Then it will turn on/off with stove temps. Might be safer. Also might try a rheostat to regulate air flow.
i want one of those shop houses. where its just a massive 2 story steel barn, and you take a little corner of it and finish out a house inside, then the rest is just a shop. some day maybe.
That is without a doubt the best shop I've ever seen,especially the loft/storage areas. Wow. If I had that I wouldn't even need a house. And that is also one of the best DIY wood stoves I've seen. I saw a video recently where a guy had a grate near the top of the stove inside where he had a catalyst pack made of ordinary lava rock that the smoke has to pass through, which costs about a fraction of a percentage point of a dedicated/manufactured honeycomb catalyst.
Another good mode for efficiency would be to put some sheet metal on the sides with a 1/2"-3/4" air gap. You would get a great chimney effect going. you could close off the edges so the air would be forced up the sides of the stove. It would also be a little safer, 790 degrees would suck to bump into by mistake. It would be a good quick lesson in why not to make mistakes though.
I worked for two rural cities which had public works garages heated by wood stoves. When the crews took out dead trees and trimmed in the parks, they'd haul the wood back to split and season. Worked out very well. Just raised the overhead doors a bit to keep air flowing and regulate temperature.
Nice setup. Be curious to see how much of an efficiency gain there would be if the intakes for combustion air were routed externally on the building... such that warm inside air was not being consumed and sent up the exhaust (presumably causing a slight vacuum within the building) but instead non heated external air was consumed (with no vacuum effect within the building.)
Good idea! Even if it was pretty cold outside, the delta between inside and outside air wouldn't be much by comparison. Also, the slight positive pressure might help keep dust and cold air out of the shop.
There would be a gain but I think it would be a real pain and probably more trouble than it is worth plus on gas furnaces that do this, they are close to a wall, it is only a few feet of pvc pipe and the air is getting sucked into the furnace with a fan. None of that would be the case with this one.so it may not even really "work"
Excellent job! I like the heat exchanger design and the staggered tubes are the way to go for improved heat transfer. I would recommend to paint it flat black. This will increase the radiation from all external surfaces. Shinny surfaces or the brushed surface radiants less heat than a flat black surface. Good luck
If you run ductwork from the inlet of the stove to the outside, the stove will not pull a vacuum from within the garage. I did this with my stove and the efficiency was night and day. No longer does it pull a draft from the doors and draw cold air inside
@@Chopstx98 if you have any drafts from the outside such as from a door or window that's not perfectly sealed, the stove will draw in a draft from the outside. If you pipe the air in from the outside, it will not pull a cold draft from the inside 😉
Damn! I don't think you can extract anymore heat from a fire than what you have done with this bad boy!. Maybe a flue damper to slow the draft thus keeping more heat down in the stove? Anyway, really impressed with your skills and ingenuity. Your welds are as immaculate as the organization in your shop!
There is so much excess heat generated with wood, it would be an idea for anyone contemplating this to perhaps put hydronic piping in the floor before the concrete is poured to circulate water heated by the stove. The tons of concrete would make an excellent heat storage mass, especially if it was insulated from the ground.
I would have built a masonry heater of finnish design in this place myself, google finnish contraflow design. This would store heat and release it slowly over time, I would want a constant base temp in my workshop to keep everything warm enough to dehumidify the workshop, and the racks of lumber drying inside.
ya i would have prolly installed a wear plate of some sort to go under tubes and be easy to change out i would have also circulated the air more like a fire tube boiler but instead of firetube it would be airtube i guess. i would stay away from water of any sorts unless im going to just make a waterboiler. too many things needed in that case safety pressure relief valves, pressure gauges, radiators, piping,ext
45 years ago I bought a wood stove from southern idaho called Hurricane.. The stove was built like most other woodstoves except it employed this same piping in the top..At the back of the stove was a blower much like this one.. We lived in central Idaho near Clayton where temp go to 40 below and stay there for 30-40 days.. all day all night long.. Our stove was a medium one and that stove ran us out of the house during these cold periods.. I wonder if anyone else ever had or used this maker.. The wood stove was amazing..

THAT ISN’T A SHOP. That’s heaven.
I've watched this vid many times over the years and I'm happy to report that today is the day when I go to buy steel to build something similar but with an additional heat exchanger on the flue pipe. Thanks for the inspiration brother!
I also watched this and then found a guy to make me one for the chimeny pipe. Easily 35% heat increase!
Can you post some pictures of the flue exchanger?
Genius idea. Love it. As is - don’t change it - don’t paint it. Just run it and smile.
Tom you built an awesome stove there brother, and the number one thing I took from this video is how much you love your family and built a garage where everyone would have something to do and interact with mom and dad...you are probably nominated every year for family reunions !

The only thing nicer than this stove is that shop!!! Woooo!
Looks great stove if you don't paint it you can spray whale oil over it, it will turn it blue and hopefully it won't go rusty. This has to be done when it's really hot worth a try 🤣👍
Some people have More Money than they have brains.......
@@mirandabri834 Nice shop in my next life I hope to have one lolol
Have you ever thought about modifying it to except used oil ?

Real AWSOME wood burner... Thumbs Up.....Fire Extinguisher always are a must have.... Especially in that Awesome Garage...
Great workshop and a great solid fuel heater. Very interesting video young man.
I'd just oil the outside when it is hot, season it just like a cast iron pan. Then you can just throw a line of burgers on top of it for lunch

Sure, doesn't everybody like to inhale oil smoke?
throw the burgers first, the oil will season it just fine...

Couple of things to consider:
1) build a "jacket" around it with about 20mm gap. Leave a hole at the bottom and the top. This will create a natural convection, which will draw more heat out into the workshop. It will also provide a cooler surface, adding to safety.
2) to improve tip 1, add a fan to force air through the jacket.
3) get some ducting from the peak of the roof to the floor with a fan inline. The temperature difference between floor an ceiling is huge. Bring all that hot air down to where you are.
Have fun, and keep playing with fire!
Great job! Add a water filled basin on top to generate humidity. 😊
That's a great build and an amazing work shop
Hey , that's a pretty awesome stove. I like the mods, air intake, larger flue, more pipes than mine. Excellent job.
Thanks! obviously most of the inspiration came from your video and another video called mikes rat rod wood stove. Im in the process of making some upgrades to it now (thermostat, fresh air intakes, ect.) Ill post it when I get it wrapped up. Thanks again for your video you made, I couldnt have made my stove without it!
My old welded truck rim wood stove needs to be replaced. This might be its replacement. Well done!
You can't beat thease wood stoves.been running them for 20 years.
Some thoughts: use a thermostat, not a timer. Takes the guess work right out.
Use a variable speed fan, adjusts to the need in real time.
Put the damper as high up the pipe as possible, that pipe radiates heat, might as well make 7 feet of it radiate than 1 foot.
Plumbing in outside air would make the stove more efficient.
Learn what an upside down fire is.
Stacking stones/bricks around it will moderate the heat and hold heat a long time after the fire goes out
Sitting a water tank next to it would provide hot water and more thermal mass.
Looks good...I think I will build a stove soon as well... the price of them are outrageous and not as good
dude, i need that shop. oh my god!!
lol, yes its been awesome. years ago my dad gave me the best advice about building a shop. He said figure out exactly what you think you need then double it and youll always have enough space for what you aren't thinking about now......dad was right
@Gene I'm with you 💯%
@@tombicandi4363 HOW IS IT HOLDING UP? 2019-2020
I think it is notorious for causing cooler chimney gases which would cause more creosote in the chimney.
Nice workmanship & design. I’m impressed
I watch this video in aw of the heater masterpiece as though I actually have the time, tools, or knowledge to try and build one LOL! Looks awesome and love the one of a kind relic :)
Your stove is truly a thing of beauty, and somewhat larger than my Fatsco Pet Stove, which would actually fit inside your stovepipe!
The perfect stove for the perfect playroom!
Congratulations on your marksmanship with a bow.
Whew I bet that put out some BTU's.Brillant design!Engineers eat your heart out.
Just came across this video and I love the stove. Definitely want to do something similar when I build my shop. I was always thinking about how I would do the fan and now I know. Great video and great looking stove.
We made one of these in the early 80s at the fab shop I worked at. That sucker rocked!
Looks great! One upgrade would be to add a snap switch to the blower. Then it will turn on/off with stove temps. Might be safer. Also might try a rheostat to regulate air flow.
THat thing is really well made! I like the space you have in your workshop.
Max Maker thanks max
Awesome shop and awesome stove!
What a great design and an awesome job. Turned out great!
This is my dream shop! I have always envisioned having a shop just like this
i want one of those shop houses. where its just a massive 2 story steel barn, and you take a little corner of it and finish out a house inside, then the rest is just a shop. some day maybe.
this is the most badass heater ive ever seen.
Nice stove nice shop nice video
Thanks for sharing
Nice presentation n it looks great heck. the building looks huge n I always think of alternative ways to heat our brick bungalow
Good job enjoy
That is without a doubt the best shop I've ever seen,especially the loft/storage areas. Wow. If I had that I wouldn't even need a house. And that is also one of the best DIY wood stoves I've seen. I saw a video recently where a guy had a grate near the top of the stove inside where he had a catalyst pack made of ordinary lava rock that the smoke has to pass through, which costs about a fraction of a percentage point of a dedicated/manufactured honeycomb catalyst.
I like your shop heater, I wonder how more efficient it would be by adding a secondary burn tubes...
I like the look of non-painted. Very industrial 👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Wow😮 this is really amazing my first time seeing this thanks for the idea great show keep up the good work. God bless you.
Another good mode for efficiency would be to put some sheet metal on the sides with a 1/2"-3/4" air gap. You would get a great chimney effect going. you could close off the edges so the air would be forced up the sides of the stove.
It would also be a little safer, 790 degrees would suck to bump into by mistake. It would be a good quick lesson in why not to make mistakes though.
The impressive part
The most impressive part
You found your digital thermometer on the first try. Well organized shop, nice!
It almost makes up for calling it a heat gun lol. Fantastic build on the furnace. Jealous of this shop too.
I worked for two rural cities which had public works garages heated by wood stoves. When the crews took out dead trees and trimmed in the parks, they'd haul the wood back to split and season. Worked out very well. Just raised the overhead doors a bit to keep air flowing and regulate temperature.
It is truly lovely. Well done. Love the shop also. Very jelous.
Nice setup. Be curious to see how much of an efficiency gain there would be if the intakes for combustion air were routed externally on the building... such that warm inside air was not being consumed and sent up the exhaust (presumably causing a slight vacuum within the building) but instead non heated external air was consumed (with no vacuum effect within the building.)
Good idea! Even if it was pretty cold outside, the delta between inside and outside air wouldn't be much by comparison.
Also, the slight positive pressure might help keep dust and cold air out of the shop.
@Cult of the Grey Beard also cold air is more dense, could help with combustion.
There would be a gain but I think it would be a real pain and probably more trouble than it is worth plus on gas furnaces that do this, they are close to a wall, it is only a few feet of pvc pipe and the air is getting sucked into the furnace with a fan. None of that would be the case with this one.so it may not even really "work"
Don’t paint it!! It looks so good!!
Thank you for showing, good design, and video, with a shop like you have I could work all day making knives, keep worm and have a good day.
Great job ! You built it exactly for your needs. I laugh at these "experts" telling you didit wrong . LMAO
I've got 3" sch80 pipes running through my stove and they work great!
Excellent job! I like the heat exchanger design and the staggered tubes are the way to go for improved heat transfer. I would recommend to paint it flat black. This will increase the radiation from all external surfaces. Shinny surfaces or the brushed surface radiants less heat than a flat black surface. Good luck
Cool! What a beast!
But if our winters were only around zero I’d be out there with a T shirt year round.
We hit -40 last winter.
If you run ductwork from the inlet of the stove to the outside, the stove will not pull a vacuum from within the garage. I did this with my stove and the efficiency was night and day. No longer does it pull a draft from the doors and draw cold air inside
Wouldn't that just make the stove heat up colder air from outside instead of recirculating the warmer air from inside the building
@@Chopstx98 if you have any drafts from the outside such as from a door or window that's not perfectly sealed, the stove will draw in a draft from the outside. If you pipe the air in from the outside, it will not pull a cold draft from the inside 😉
@@battles151 👍 should really have the intake air coming from outside
Damn! I don't think you can extract anymore heat from a fire than what you have done with this bad boy!. Maybe a flue damper to slow the draft thus keeping more heat down in the stove? Anyway, really impressed with your skills and ingenuity. Your welds are as immaculate as the organization in your shop!
Thanks Richard!
NEVER, seen/saw /glimpsed a wood stove in Oregon w/o a damper.
This unit does have a dampner, in the video I close it at the 9:10 mark

Air fryer too if you put a cooking rack in front of the pipes ,lol! Very awesome stove.
Pretty darn NICE shop , for no more than You use it for !
There is so much excess heat generated with wood, it would be an idea for anyone contemplating this to perhaps put hydronic piping in the floor before the concrete is poured to circulate water heated by the stove. The tons of concrete would make an excellent heat storage mass, especially if it was insulated from the ground.
I would have built a masonry heater of finnish design in this place myself, google finnish contraflow design. This would store heat and release it slowly over time, I would want a constant base temp in my workshop to keep everything warm enough to dehumidify the workshop, and the racks of lumber drying inside.
Double wall the pipe, put one in another, If the seam splits you are protected.
He is touchy about comments always someone gonna be bigger badder and better ignore them and be you man cool stove
wrong, so many, many ways. Thanks for taking the time to give me the opportunity to make that comment. It made my day.
ya i would have prolly installed a wear plate of some sort to go under tubes and be easy to change out i would have also circulated the air more like a fire tube boiler but instead of firetube it would be airtube i guess. i would stay away from water of any sorts unless im going to just make a waterboiler. too many things needed in that case safety pressure relief valves, pressure gauges, radiators, piping,ext
The stoves built from a 275 gallon fuel oil tank really work, and less wood cutting because you can put 4 foot long wood in it.
That shop is epic! My daughter would flip over the batting nets. Amazing stove brother, I will do my best to mimic this one day.
45 years ago I bought a wood stove from southern idaho called Hurricane.. The stove was built like most other woodstoves except it employed this same piping in the top..At the back of the stove was a blower much like this one.. We lived in central Idaho near Clayton where temp go to 40 below and stay there for 30-40 days.. all day all night long.. Our stove was a medium one and that stove ran us out of the house during these cold periods.. I wonder if anyone else ever had or used this maker.. The wood stove was amazing..
Add a smoke chamber for meat and it's perfect
6:30 I'm thinking to myself, "why would he need a heat gun?" And then I see you grab the digital laser thermometer LOL great video tho!
Just wow... amazing building, great heating! Thank you for the vid
That heater is down rite bad ass. Wish he would have said more info about what the components were. Bad asserie!!!!!
That is awesome.
