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.

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...

@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...
