better late than never?

I had too much going on earlier and now I have the chance to FINALLY get some heat in my shop!
I'm building my own wood burner! I will shear and form the channel that hold the fire brick tomorrow at work and then get the brick and the main part will be complete.The door will be next.I am building it to specs. of a buddys stove and his is said to heat 3600 sq.ft. My shop is only 2400 sq.ft. OTTA do it!The pic of the welds inside the stove(pic 4) were done by my wife!Not bad HUH?The pic of the elbow is the pipe that goes from the stove to the chimney.It is 8 in. dia. and 5/16'' thick!Shouldn't rust out no time soon! LOL!

I heat mine with wood, and I love it. Yours looks like it will be great.

I understand that woodburning stoves have really come a long way in recent years........so much more efficient now. Looks like a nice one you are building there.

[Bonehead]

I have a buddy who has a door factory, and hauls me free hardwood firewood, for free........ did I mention it was free?

 

[Mr.Gussett]

Free?

draft

think about a fan forced air draft, I can burn phone books completely up, i run the tubes in from the top so the air is hot when hitting the fire area , used a small blower fan

 

[Mr.Gussett]

blower

The stove will have a "box" around it made from 16 ga.with a fan and a therm.A 10 in. T out the top to circulate the hot air and a magic heat kinda thing in the pipe with a fan as well.Will use all heat as I can.
