HF weed burner on a 20lb tank. No kindling required. One of the best additions to the shop wood stove . Added a 175,000 btu propane heater. In ten minutes while I'm getting the woodstove, kicking the shop is pretty warm. It's not nearly as big as yours, but it definitely takes the chill off quick. I love the recliners, adopted one myself. The chair of life reflection. Really cool stove, lots of R&D in that big guy.
My buddy had a shop thus big. He bought a coal stove. One of them rectangular/squared off style stoves. That moderately sized coal/wood stove would cook us out if we weren’t careful. This wood stove is epic/cool as heck. But companies like Jotul pour millions into engineering their wood stoves. My guess is this stove is super inefficient. Still awesome. Murica!
Really cool stove. A novel idea. That thing could heat the Nasa highbay shops, with ease. Firebrick the inside complete. less wood burned and it will hold more heat, I think you have a bit too much space inside. Even though it's a small bucket, that's alot of space. That thing would hold heat like a Steam locomotive. Steam Loco takes 7-8 days after fire-out, before it is cool to the touch and cool enough to wrench on one.
That is such a cool stove great job 👍. My shop is all steel 40x40 with 14' walls. Came as a special package insulated. I put 5/8 dry wall all the way around and insulated again behind that. I have overhead heaters x 2 only using 1. I heated it with a Empire pot belly stove. Heated the whole shop. I changed the stove to a large Regency for 4 times longer burn time. Once the shop is insulated your bucket woodstove will heat the shop without any problem at all.
Just found this channel because of this stove! Thats a bad ass stove and ive seen alot of diffrent stoves over the years. I need it in my garage in minnesota!
When i put my flu damper in my heater shell temp increased 100*, that 400* heat thats floating out the chimney will create more heat in the shell. I have all sorts of intake air adjustments i choke off but that reduces the flame but that flu damper holds the heat in. Ive heard several people say you dont want to choke the exhaust side but with my set up im about maintaining heat and wood longevity, i burn 1/2 to 1/3 of what i was using with 2-3 times the radiant heat but whatever works works lol
very very nice project u got here!! i have to add one thing here , if you have more firebricks stack them around that stove creatingan open portion/a draft on the intake for a more regulated airflow intake and those bricks hold temperature allnight
Awesome video and good explanations. If you ever do a neway suspension I’d really like to see that I love my Mack’s so those are the two suspensions I see the most
Really impressed. Would think that would heat the hell out of that shop once insulated. Obviously I can’t grasp all the parameters. I’m used to burning big super dry oak logs. If you had regular outside lows around 0 - 10 degs, could you see loading that full with DRY oak. I’m trying to envision it getting through the night but maybe that doesn’t matter for your purposes. Trying to figure how it might roll w/o a high mass chimney. I’m used to masonry chimney mass. Thanks. Digging what you do.
Great fab job. When trying to limit or slow the input try some steel wool. I am amazed how much you can choke a fire down and still produce heat. Nice shop!
Sweet stove. Have burned tons of wood in big Jotuls. I’m not quite with you on the flue damper. With well seasoned wood flue damper is great to see you through the night so long as you’re burning hot & clean. Sometimes the draft is just too much.
I have a coal burner that has an automatic air flow regulator flap hooked to what looks like a spring for a weed wacker pull start amd as it get hot the spring will bend down to slow the air flow and keep it consistant at all times… the thermostat setup is on a WONDER COAL BURNER. If you need to look up the specs to make the setup yourself, it works great and there is no need for Flue once you install this
Look up how masonry stoves are built. They work on the principle of allowing in a ton of air during the combustion chamber, routing the extremely hot gases created through a network of massive masonry channels, which soak up that heat. The fire typically lasts less than an hour, but the resulting heated thermal mass keeps your space warm for 12 hours or more. It works the exact opposite of what you guys are trying to do in this video.
I'd think both could be done. For a shop this fits. Inside my house yep I'd love to have what you are talking about.This stove just what I thought of when I first saw a actual stove in a bucket. They will get it right. Thankz for sharing.
I have been heating my house tri-level for 10 years with a. LOPI Wood stove 15 inches 21 inches With a 16 inch opening It is completely bricklined . I cut and split my own would due to the small 16 inch opening and maximum 17 inch inner . Take a look at the lopi wood stove looks to be engineered like yours👍👀👍🇺🇲
I'll agree with the flue damper on non air tight stoves. However, when not in use, they restrict the amount of cold air coming in the building via the chimney and stove.
Fan air ,one thing i found out. With the fire going but when trying to heat the shop an round the stove. Until it gets heated in the room the fan is pulling cold an or cool air in the fan . So on my stove once the stove heats up some where the heat comes out from the top when blowing. I took a pipe from where the heat comes out down to the blower intake so the stove then is recycling the heat.its blowing hot heat into the blower its not pulling in cold or cool air at first .until the room gets warm. Hope you understand.if not please ask. Because this will make a difference in heating the room faster .theres no since pulling in cool air through the stove until room gets hot.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying. But I believe it is best similar to what we have because the cold air in the building sinks to the ground where the fan is picking it up to then run it through the stove and heat it up to keep a cycle of air moving.
We have a kindling maker as well.... Different model tho.... Its a German engineered, 2023 Sable Shepherd. She can produce up to 2 pounds of kindling wood per day. Self starting, Automatic, So efficient that we find wood slivers in the most unpredictable of places.
Awesome idea and build. Only thing I would do is damper on the chimney and on the combustion air intake so you can throttle your burn rate. Again what a friggen nice stove top notch cool.😂
Flue dampener keeps all ur heat from going up the pipe it’s not designed to completely shut off flow it has holes in the dampener flap it also keeps from burning so much wood so fast
I run a flue damper in my Hearthstone stove. Because I have 28’ of flue pipe and the stove would over temp. Just cleaned the flue after 2 seasons and it was very clean.
@@WolfpupfabI have help several people set up wood burning stoves and have modified several others so all of the combustion air is drawn from outside and the efficiency greatly improves.
You should feed the fire from below not the side. You only use a flue damper to preserve the heat in the chamber with a dying fire. Basic steam engine principles.
@@Wolfpupfab That's such a big firebox, I'd try adding some firebrick to the sides to get it a little smaller and for a hotter burn. Might help secondary fire better.
@@comonbabylightmyfireburnExcellent suggestion... I was going to say the same thing. It will help keep the fire hotter and thus cleaner burn. Pretty easy modification to try as well.
Run. Some water lines through it …for a steam engine ..to run a generator… with air compressor…three way use of the wood being used…. Something to think about !!! ( pizza oven attachment…lol. ) # Water line for geothermal heating.. pumped around the building by using the steam engine…. / steam clean your equipment…. Options are unlimited..!!!! Have. A. Fun. Day. Stay. Safe Keep warm ….
Every operator in America has got to want one of these. Looks great!
That's one of the best woodstoves I've ever seen!
Awesome stove, reminds me of the kid’s book, “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel”!
What a great piece of artwork a master piece 👏. I love wood stoves and this is my favorite one. Well done. 😊
That is the coolest and the best woodstove ive seen build home made! Very neat!
A prime example of someone who knows how to think. Not what to think.
That’s the most expensive wood stove ever made. Solid work and well done.
Thanks 👍 it actually cost under $1,000 of material
That's one of the coolest stoves I've ever seen!

Looks like a 7- 8 cu foot fire box
I have to admit this one of the coolest wood stoves I’ve ever seen
Absoulutely my favorite wood stove build! need to try and do one.
Thanks, you should!
noticed if anyone say they will make it he will comment buuuut NO HEART FOR YOU!
An awesome idea for a worn out Excavator bucket. That bad boy would Radiate some serious heat.

I love it great ingenuity I’ll have to remember that next time I see and old bucket👍👍👍
Wood stoves need outside fresh air and ceiling fans will help alot. That's a pretty cool stove.
Insulation will definitely change your draft… might hold off on any super permanent mods till that happens. Nice build 🤙🏽
What a great looking stove! Love it!
Kick ass build man.
Time to buy some old buckets
This is the coolest thing I have seen on youtube in about a year. Had to subscribe! I know "COOL" when I see it.
Thanks👍

That's fricken awesome!!! love to see a loader bucket like that, or even a S.E.E. bucket like that.
Very imaginative and re-purposeful. Good thing you have lots of elbow room in your shop.

Thanks, we will be finding out all those answers eventually.
My knees would hate that, but it looks cool
We decided the coolness factor of the teeth outweighs the danger.
Genius idea! What a great stove.
It should have two dampeners on it. One on the air inlet and another on the exhaust outlet keep it simple 🍻
That is really neat, get it fine tuned and that will be awesome 💯
Great fab job. When trying to limit or slow the input try some steel wool. I am amazed how much you can choke a fire down and still produce heat. Nice shop!
That’s a good idea. We might try that

Thanks. I have multiple stoves and have never needed/wanted a flue damper. Just my preference
NO HEART FOR YOU! this guy is like the soup Nzi if you say you are going to build one or make remarks saying other ideas lmao
What a cool, unique build!
Tell thats not a badass shop stove! So cool!!!
Looks great, you could enclose the top of the bucket and exhaust then fill with sand to dissipate and create a heat battery.
Interesting idea
NO HEART FOR YOOOOOU
Awesome looking wood stove
Thanks 👍

A chimney that looks like the stick on an excavator will make this more unique looking
thats a wicked idea....
Love the girl scout match you used to light the fire.

"perfectly engineered stoves like this" LOL! it is a thing of beauty tho...
That thing is coooool! great to see your design
I tip my hat to you Sir. Real nice and unique type for sure. One question fella, what is the weight of the unit ??? Thanks
Thanks. It weighs 2300 pounds
@@Wolfpupfab This is something I will have to make happen soon. I bet the stove stays hot for what. half a day ?/

But if the stove is indeed airtight…you shouldn’t have cold air coming through anyways

Amazing work !!!!
Looks awesome! Wondering if his insurance is okay with it not being UL approved.
It’s a grey area
"wow" loving this fire for the workshop, well done and enjoy, regards...Keith in Swindon u.k
Thanks!
Thats real sweet. I need one for my future shop on my future property i don't yet own!😅👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔥🔥💥💨
For some reason, I think Chris from letsdig18 would want this
At least you had good ventilation and wasnt breathing those heavy metals..lol
What research/where did you get your info on how to build it/features you used, like the glass cleaner air port, etc.
TIA
Just looking at info on how a lot of manufactured stoves are built and or from experience with them in person
Really cool build!
We have a kindling maker as well.... Different model tho.... Its a German engineered, 2023 Sable Shepherd. She can produce up to 2 pounds of kindling wood per day. Self starting, Automatic, So efficient that we find wood slivers in the most unpredictable of places.

NO HEART FOR YOU lol
I don’t like chimney dampers and I has intake dampers.
This is the first i see of this. It is amazing for a big shop.peice of art.are you going to make a small bucket stove for smaller garage 😊
Thanks. I might make a smaller one. I do have another bucket laying around
Now that is a mans man stove, good stuff
Thanks👍
Use some sort of magnet n metal to cover that hole or make it adjustable..great ingenuity
Flue dampener keeps all ur heat from going up the pipe it’s not designed to completely shut off flow it has holes in the dampener flap it also keeps from burning so much wood so fast
The intake damper does the same thing if designed properly without the risk of cooling down the exhaust and creating creosote
Very cool. Is there a cooking surface? How hot do the teeth get?
Cool build 🇨🇦
I run a flue damper in my Hearthstone stove. Because I have 28’ of flue pipe and the stove would over temp. Just cleaned the flue after 2 seasons and it was very clean.
I agree they have their place. I am just not a fan of them
Awesome build
That is an amazing stove made in the great USA 🇺🇸
Great video
Cool stove !!
Why not have the secondary and primary pull outside air in add a gate valve to regulate this should help with drafts from doors and windows
We thought about it. We might in the future
@@WolfpupfabI have help several people set up wood burning stoves and have modified several others so all of the combustion air is drawn from outside and the efficiency greatly improves.

How in the world did you come up with that design .its cool as shit I'd love to have something like that
Cool stove. If you had to guess how many hours do you have into it
30 hours maybe
Great build boss. I have enjoyed watching this "little task". LMAO 😂. Great work!!
Thanks! 👍
@@Wolfpupfab I'm guessing you ain't in South Texas? Lmao. Now I want to try this and knock my fireplace out and use it in the house !!
Beautiful welds
We just gonna ignore the SxS on the second floor?
That’s a storage shelf
Lol...
Load that thing up and see if it burns better. What's the moisture content of the splits?
That wood was a little wet, dryer wood in it burns much nicer

I like it! 🫡
You need a choker on the discharge pipe above the stove and heat.
