I made a barrel stove.

Questions?

Sweet! [Beer]

whats it for?
how much did it cost?

Looks good. Awful lot of sparks in that 2nd pic. with the 2 gas cans in the back. But I see you had some wine to put any fires out with. [Flame] I was wondering about cost myself??

I'm going to put it into my covered patio for winter. I'm going to build a half wall of cinder blocks to reflect heat back in and plumb chimney pipe up and out.
Those gas cans were originally getting showered with sparks, so I moved them to where they are in the picture. All the sparks were shooting toward the camera for the most part. I had my wife standing by with a fire extinguisher and a second set up eyes.
The cost for the barrel kit was $61.80 from Home Depot with free shipping to my house. I got the barrel for free.

I'm burning the paint off now, and will take it apart and paint it with some high temp paint (gray) that I picked up at Depot.

Last night was embarrassing as I wasn't getting a hot, clean burn. There was so much smoke I thought for sure the fire department was going to come. Figured it out today though.

Very nice....

Did you put any fire brick or sand in the bottom? Inside or outside use?

You could fry eggs and bacon on top of it. [Dinner]

That second pic is cool

After I paint it, I'm going to put some play ground sand in the bottom, but not so high that it covers that inlet hole. The stove will be outside in a partially enclosed space. I have a bunch of pictures of the area now, and plan to show a before and after kind of deal.
I've seen where people add two tubes on either side, they lay a cast iron griddle of some sort across the top for a cooking surface. I've got no plans for that, but considered it.

Thanks. My wife was taking pictures and took about 15 more of that same picture.

Looks good, paint it stove black, will look better longer.
