We don't light the stove unless we know we're going to be out there long enough to burn what's in it down, and we don't leave the fire un-tended during that time. Having got all this together, and dropped on the top part of the insulated flue, it was time for the moment of truth. I have experimented with this method and must say the energy output required to heat the copper pipes is huge, the efficiency is also very low. Where the pane of glass above the AC was removed (due to the size of the AC) and replaced with a particle board panel. no wood is too long,if you can carry it then it will probly fit,the other cool thing is the chimney is a 18'' road colvert like you use for your driveway,its 20 feet tall so it drafts like a vacuum cleaner,its shows a little rust on the opposite side from where the stove pipe comes in,i used a colvert as well for mine,they work great,galvenized so they dont rust.

They present as serious fire hazard as anything flammable within meters of it will be exposed to extreme heat. A large precision control located on the front of the stove provides easy adjustment of the burn rate.and will comprise of the door, door frame, flue connector and legs including paper template nuts bolts etc. All Panoramic stoves have nominal 5kw output, so building regulations do not require an air brick or vent. Keep in mind, the white sheetmetal wrap (16ga if I remember correctly) around the stove does not touch the barrel itself, and is about 2" away on the sides. As far as draft goes, The little vent on the bottom of those doors keeps it going once I have a nice fire. Small, hot fires are more environmentally friendly and won't bring the wrath of the neighbours down on you, although they do need more care and attention.

Unfortunately the salt sea air has given them a rusty appearance but the metal thickness means they are still quite usable.Thank you for originally posting your stove up Sealer, it was real motivation for me to make one, and it looks great! The aim is to insulate the entire burn chamber as much as possible to contain heat and increase the efficiency of the fire. Please be aware that slight variations in color may be due to differences in lighting and computer monitor resolutions. Initially all the parts were laid out to get an idea of scale, and then the base for the fire built up. my dad has a stove i built from the oil drum that used to feed the old orginal oil furnace that they had in the late 60s.

I am about to make one, and am thinking about cutting the whole thing open to line it with firebrick. The first five of six firings will need to be gradual with smalls fires allowing the stove to cool after use. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings.One of the welded-on leg supports got bent at some point in the past, with a tear in the tank right along the weld. Hardware: The kit includes all the necessary hardware, such as screws and bolts, for assembling the stove. Just like to mention, on any horizontal run, make sure you have a rise, so any creosote will run back into the stove.

I've been reading with interest about using a barrel to burn wood, and then using the radiated heat to heat copper pipes which have been bound around the said barrel. We used a layer of glass bottles as an experimental insulation layer, with sand over, then paving slabs, set perfectly level.

I left it in the garage when I sold the house but I have a couple of similar ones down the side of my house I use for chilly nights after a BBQ.
