So I found a stove tonight..... It's a fuel oil barrel with 4 3.5" tubes running length ways enclosed in an insulated tin enclosure. 12x12 door no draft control at all. Chimney is at door end no grates no baffles. The only heat transfer is the tubes.. 50.00 cash but looks real in efficient. The burn chamber is the entire barrel. I think you could put 3 days worth of wood in it.... What y'all think?

how heavey is the side wall Have any pictures. see if they will take 25.oo credit.

However thick a fuel oil barrel is.

Morning everyone! Haven't stopped by for awhile. I've been battling the MS440 that's currently living on my bench. It's really thrown me for a loop, lol. Other than that, just business as usual. Work, saws, rock concert, more work, and saws. Got the day off today and tomorrow. Gonna try and get caught up on homework.

Likey?

I think it would take some work to get that thing efficient. Baffle and draft control for sure!

Bump please[emoji4]

You might try the firewood forum here or the firewood forum on FHC website. Lot of knowledge at those locations that don't wander into this thread. Nothing against the knowledge in this thread (it is amazing); but maybe somebody out there may have come across the same thing or has experience with your problem.

Just an FYI...
Since Scott "Treemonkey" is out of commission for a while, there is gonna be a cut at his place to get him loaded up for the year. The local guys up there are trying to get a date set...
I'm going to try to make it up there if I can..
Any other interested parties from "the southern contingent"?

Its all insulated so you don't get any radiant heat off the outside of the firebox....

Didn't catch the insulated part. That would be terrible as a wood stove heater!!!

My thoughts exactly! I appreciate all of y'alls input!

I've seen a large furnace designed somewhat like that I think.. Flames heat the tubes, and air is forced through hot tubes right?
Sorta like a giant majic heat exchanger box?
