  • how well will it heat a 20X24 garage with no insulation on the walls or ceiling?

  • @fordbroncodave hmmm... I really don't know... I have never had mine going full bore because my shop is an old stripping room for a tobacco barn which now hold hay... I was always afraid of an amber getting out and torching the place... but I have seen others run it wide open and heat a big space... I think it would do it if you had fans to move the air around a bit...

  • That stove will do the job for you thats for sure

  • @rbinventor I have had it fired up at least 15 times since I have posted this video and it does do the job... my record in the shop was 68degreesF... that is perfect for what it is...

  • Hi, Thanks for putting this on youtube. I'll be making one just like it. Just one question, where is the air intake? Usually it's below the door but I did'nt see it on yours.

  • @h1a2z3a4r5 I didn't originally put one in on this video and I soon found out of my mistake when I first built a real fire in it... ahhahaha

    so I put it on the bottom of the door... I made a hole and took a scrap piece of metal and made it cover it all the way or how ever I needed it cover... I might even put another one in it... I am still playing with it to find out the best way to tweak it...

see all

  • Hello Char Char!

  • Good job, I am building one from a kit now.

  • For the first 16 years of my life, our family used a home made wood burning heater to heat the house in winter. You also need a small venting opening in the front. Can fill it with wood, close down the vent leaving a small opening, and it will burn all night with a fine layer of hot coals in the morning. Other than that, a fine job my brother ! A country boy can survive.

  • lets see you fire it up
