I used fireplace gasket and around the rim of the barrel, glued on with gasket cement.

For any of you who watch Wranglerstar Youtube videos, this idea to regulate air flow to the barrel, came from him.

Very nice work HL !!

Now if that were my stove...... since you aren't putting a flat surface on the top, I would move that pipe hole to the center of the barrel. Weld the old hole closed. Now you can have a straight shot pipe instead of that pipe fire waiting to happen.

Also, you could weld in a baffle in the top of the stove that forces the gasses to the rear and then on top of the baffle so they can exit in the center. Might get more heat since the fire is in the stove longer. Maybe. Might need more draft that way too though

I remember,back in the day used to see those 45 gal barrel stoves with two barrels.One was a firebox and the other barrel was on top-a heat exchanger.They were often used in logging camp workshops with high ceilings.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Ken, thanks for chiming in .... I like the idea. All too often, I concentrate on the now, and don't look a step forward. If I had, I would have mounted that stove pipe in the middle of the barrel and had a straight pipe with no elbows.

I could never close those clamp style rings around the barrel lid. Tapping with a hammer wouldn't work ... even before I installed the gasket. So I made a little modification ... closes tight now !

This little carbide bit in a roto-zip was made to order and worked like a charm cleaning up the ugly vent holes which I originally cut with a torch. They now match the vent holes in the kit's door/vent.

Compare left side to right side ... worked like a charm.

My solution for keeping hot ashes off the bottom of the barrel ....

Seems like its gonna work well, also brought the "ashtray" up to the bottom of the fire grate.

First fire !!!

I've got a few little fixes like welding in an expanded metal shelf on the bottom of the base ... but for the most part ... DONE !

Thanks for checking in and watching the progress !
