Homemade maple syrup stove

This is a stove that my dad made for me to make maple syrup at my parents' house. He took a barrel and cut a hole out of the top and out of the side and put a door on the side to load firewood. Then he made a hole on the other side and attached a chimney. Then the stainless steel pan sits right on top of the open part of the barrel and voila... homemade stove. It makes about a gallon a day.

The two pans on the end are just restauraunt chafing pans that are absorbing some of the heat so that the boil doesn't stop when I pour the preheated sap in.
