Very nice. You have some skill. Love the way you cut with a torch. My work has a plasma so I would have them do the cutting BECAUSE I could never cut as good as you did.
I'm considering building a wood stove for my 32x60x12 shop using large heavy wall pipe. What size area are you heating with this and how does it do? What temperature can you maintain? If you have insulation specifics on your building that would help me too. Also was considering a pipe inside a pipe with a water jacket and using a circulating pipe to a radiator for ability to direct the heat. Thoughts on that? Thank you, Matt.
Very nice work! I'm looking forward to building mine. My plan is to uses 2 large commercial size air compressor tanks that were given to me from the place I retired from. Both tanks are the ones that set long way not upward. I plan on cutting a section out of the bottom tank length wise where the top tank rest inside of the bottom tank. Using only the bottom tank for wood and fire. Only using the heat created in the upper tank to be fan forced through insulated stove pipe. That way I wont get any smoke through the stove pipe, only heat. I was thinking about removing the window unit a/c in the winter, and replacing it with a steel plate with a hole cut in it to fit the stove pipe that will be transfering the heat from the upper sealed tank. Also I'm going to build a metal shed around it from garage doors that were also given to me that would also help in keeping the top tank as hot as possible.
Great workmanship and huge skill on display here, but i would of spent a bit of time making the doors seal properly , you will spend more time throwing wood on rather than enjoying it.
Nice! Makes me want to build one. I’ve been trying to decide on a wood stove but this seems like the one. Have you used it much? After a year would have done anything different
