[philmoore71]

enjoyed your video. i am having trouble getting the boiler temp up a range where its effect is felt: 65deg C/ 150F. this has been in the last 2 wks since the weather has turned from -5 C to '-15 & more. the wood/ trees were cut 6mths ago, then split & stacked 3 mths ago - so i'm not sure if they are dry enough either.

tks in anticipation

[katwillny]

Hey bud, looks great, how large of a pipe do you have? 6 inch or 8? How does it do with the cresote?

[onelonleyfarmer]

@katwillny 6 inch it needs 12 lol

[BKerryFTW]

That is pretty nifty. On a totally off note, do I hear a Ohio accent?

[onelonleyfarmer]

@BKerryFTW no ohio accent i am from new jersey

[firewoodguy2009]

can you burn coal in your wood stove

[negima47]

maybe you can help me, my wood burning stove work fine but this piece inside the stove that attach to the top with two bolts with some kind of frabric keeps falling. i dont know if its important or if it safe for me to keep starting fires. if you can help me it be most appreciated

[onelonleyfarmer]

@negima47 well it it the plate on the inside that covers the outlet?it it is replace the bolts the fabric could be fiberglass or asbestose!! be careful with that stuff if you need to handle the fabric wet it with water first.

[negima47]

@onelonleyfarmer thank man you help a lot

[wmirciut]

that blue flame is from hidrogen...

[firewoodguy2009]

sound like your fire makes noise

i like the blue flames

thats cool

[firewoodguy2009]

make a video of you filling up the wood stove with wood

[firewoodguy2009]

lets see you fireup the wood stove

[frankie2234]

nice job. thanks for sharing.

[Tankdriver100]

Big fan of your burner. Where is the hot air plenum blower and air ducts?

Holds Three full wheel barrel loads... HOLLY! That much wood last me 6 days.

Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, would work like hell keepin up with that.

[leo226644]

how do you get the heat in to your house from the cellar ?

[maccahemp]

Dude you are amazing have you ever thought of making them and the selling them on eBay if not it could be a start of a small business good luck

[RUNuckinfutz]

Love your heat system. Did you consider a water system to heat the house & water with while building this? I've seen many but seem to like the direct heat vs. water system. I just dont want to build one then wish I'd done it differently later. Any suggestions now that you've done yours?

[onelonleyfarmer]

@RUNuckinfutz yes i will be making a water jacket that sits on top of this unit i think it will work well.

[tucsonpersonified]

You are experiencing gasification when you see a blue flame. The flame changes color because of the hydrogen that is being released.

[Jkirk3279]

@tucsonpersonified The blue flame, and the recombustion chamber, are pretty good clues toward gasification.

He should consider a ceramic lining for the reburn chamber, it's going to degrade the steel sooner than later. But a refractory lining will prevent that.

[jdh239]

did you insulate it at all? how thick of steel?

[onelonleyfarmer]

@jdh239 its .25 thick plate steel and i have fire brick around the bottom edge so it wont burn out.

[firewoodguy2009]

wow i was thinking of making a very large wood stove out of a 275 gallon oil barrel

[torr58]

holy crap at least once a day??? i need one. im using a hotblast filling it 3-4 times dealing with a bunch of creosote because i close the dampers down to make it last my workday

[onelonleyfarmer]

@torr58 the wood needs to be dry and it will burn for a lot longer than a day. i think it cost me three hundred or so to build i dont remember

[pimpdady20]

wow man love the stove i want one for my garage but i dont want it as big as yours tho maybe u can build me one but not as big lol

[onelonleyfarmer]

@pimpdady20 i will build another one for my garage when i get the garage built at my house so maybe i will do two of them and sell one or run a contest and give it away.

[pimpdady20]

@onelonleyfarmer if you do sell one how much would you sell it for cuz hell i might think about buying one

[caneyfirefighter]

very well done. stay warm.......

[chrisd234]

Maybe I got distracted but is that purely radiant heat coming up from the basement?

[onelonleyfarmer]

@chrisd234 yes it is it gets hot as hell down there

[chrisd234]

@onelonleyfarmer Thanks. I just bought a harmon PF100 forced air pellet furnace and was considering a supplement. Is your square footage long and wide or up? My house is 2533 square foot but its a wide rancher with cathedral ceilings and poorly insulated. I paid over $3k for propane heat one month last winter.

[tickertapes]

Absolutely brilliant, the wild west is alive and well.

I'd love to know how many Megawatts that thing is LOL.

[AndyDaviesByTheSea]

Wow, that has to be the biggest wood burner that I’ve ever seen. Our tiny shop brought stove keeps our 3 bed house too hot, I’ll bet there are times when you can’t stand within three feet of that beast without risking getting burnt. I wonder how much the floorboards above the stove have shrunk, and how is the fire box holding up after 3 years. Well done and brave effort on building your own power plant in the basement.

Kind Regards ... Andy

[Nelihub]

Built my stove this summer and got about 8 cords ready to go. Bring on the white shit!!!!!!!!!

[isaacsnanna]

do you have building plans for this I would love to build one for my home

[firewoodguy2009]

lets see you make an viedo of you starting a fire than filling up your wood stove with wood

[jeremylee99100]

can you show us in the inside now when its not in use

[chuckbyf1]

Jesus H.! How much wood do you go thru????

[brettandcol]

cool stove nothing better than a real fire i bet it took you some time to make but well worth it

[crazyguy123073]

i am building a barrel one as we speak

[crazyguy123073]

good work can you build me a smaller one lmao

[onelonleyfarmer]

@crazyguy123073 i would not mind doing that i just need the time to do it.

[jphdg]

Good working stove - Nice job! Good to see people using their heads and doing stuff like this themselves. :)

Thanks for sharing the video of the stove.

John in AU.

[PierreaSweedieCat]

Surprised you didn't toss in the cardboard a bit at a time.... I hope you isolated/insulated the outside of that chimney, to protect your home structure. You should put out some details on the size of the unit, the thickness of the metal, etc. I hope your insurance company did not give you a hassle. I also hope you keep a fire extinguisher nearby... just in case. Take care, and stay warm, stay safe.

[Nelihub]

On your manifold, did you ever think about putting baffles in the inside to help cut down on your smoke?

[jmg1957]

peace

[firewoodguy2009]

lets see you fill up the wood stove with wood

[7300firefighter]

wow thats a really nice stove nice job man!!!!!

[w30olds]

Three wheel barrels. plus the dual air in takes. looks great

[onelonleyfarmer]

@w30olds thank you.

[soulfultenor]

yeah buddy, I did that with a lo-boy 30 gallon water heater, I designed it just like that, I don't have fire brick cause it's already limited space in there, but I use it outside when I'm working on the cars, when it's fired up, I can stand about 3 or 4 feet away from it and feel the heat. I thought I was the only one thinking of stuff like this !!

[onelonleyfarmer]

@soulfultenor my mind is always working.

[soulfultenor]

@onelonleyfarmer............We­ll U know that's how corporations got started by great ideas and people thinking alike !! I don't know you but we have like minds

[transdrole]

Most websites and manufacturers say do-it-youselfers cannot build a stove with a reburn chamber that works. What do you think? I have a barrel stove now and it's good but I've had pinhole burn-through in only one season, so I'd like to build something like yours. And that thing must be HEAVY.

[onelonleyfarmer]

@transdrole it is very heavy and my reburn chamber works very well.the thing with a barrel stove is there is no fire brick in them. and you need fire brick. this one will burn through to if i did not have fire brick in it

[KJ4TEE]

show us how you start it and after you reload it and how long does it go? on a refill

[onelonleyfarmer]

@KJ4TEE ok i will show you how i start it load it and it usually burns for three days in 30 degree weather.

[KJ4TEE]

@onelonleyfarmer WOW thats a long time

[satemllite]

How heavy a plate did you use for the walls and sides of the stove ??

[onelonleyfarmer]

@satemllite quarter inch and stove bricks for the sides.

[Ja72corbin]

adjust your damper you will get less smoke and go buy a termostat for your flue pie if you keep the stov between 350- 450 you will burn off the creosoe and wont have a chimney fire. that blue flame is a good sighn you are burning the gasses left over from the wood. other then that keep a eye on the pipes make sure you clea them every year it will help the stove and keep from a creosoe fire. they suck you dont want that. great stove!!!

[747777]

actually if your burning your wood properly you shouldnt see any smoke coming out of the chimney or pipe. once you have a good fire going you should have your damper half way not fully open. and open it when you have to put in more wood after closing the door adjust the damper to halfway again.

[firewoodguy2009]

looks like you can put 1/2 cord of wood in that stove

[ozmanofpeace]

that's a boiler not a stove!!! great stove with cool control system.

ozman, tasmania, australia

[GenDutchK]

Great Work! im about to build one for my shop.

[firewoodguy2009]

lets see you fill the stove with firewood

[onelonleyfarmer]

@noreaster07i get my wood off the farm i have 150+acres i also farm 2000 other acres that i get wood from if a tree falls into a field.we hade 40mph wind the other day and it did not budg so ithing i am good

[NorEaster07]

Thanks for uploading. 3 WHEELBARROWS FULL??!!! HOLY CRAP! Where do you get your logs from? '

Also... 8 feet above roof line you might need a tie down.

[tj4liter]

how many hours will your stove burn for when you load it right up?

[onelonleyfarmer]

thank you i like it

[refriedrindog]

thats a nice wood stove

[Bottleshooter8]

That's a pretty nice stove. Woodstoves are good things to have when the power goes out.
