What better way to experience the warm months than by having a cookout, enjoying great food and catching up with friends and family. If you love the outdoors and have an affinity for working with tools, then you know spring and summer offer another benefit: DIY projects. It's even better when those DIY projects can be put together and utilized in that ideal weather.
If you find DIY projects confusing and overwhelming, you should give this one a try! You'd be amazed at what you can create. This DIY 55-gallon woodstove, for example, is an impressive and incredibly useful thing to own. Your food will taste better on this stove and it's a conversation starter. You can cook while talking with your loved ones. This project gives you the ability to simultaneously create a meal while taking in nature.
Continue on to watch how to make this 55-gallon woodstove!

Steel drum will burn out at the bottom and doesn’t help hold heat as a cast iron wood stove will.
Fire bricks in the bottom
Bs I have a drum stove one of the better wood burners I’ve owned

You’ve owned some pretty shitty stoves than.
I like it. Could easily be used as a sap evaporater for syrup
Try a PIPE it lasts a lot longer!
Line it with fire brick on the bottom and up the sides like most steel plate stoves are (Fisher) and it will last a long time and retain heat also.

Douglas if I get a barrel will you help me weld one like this?

Burn barrels burn out in a year or 2. That’s only using them once a week, for about 30 mins, while standing upright. Use cast iron stoves.

I have heated with one for many years,,,never a burn out. Lay 1″ thick fire brick in bottom n fill gaps with sand
I have used the same one as only source of heat for 10 winters. Need to put your brain in gear before u open your mouth
I’ve been burning paper and cardboard with the consistency I stated above and they burn out that quick. So you’re a damn liar.
I like a lot of your ideas but I refuse to keep clicking page after page that has tons of ads! Half of them won’t load. Gggrrrr!

Bill McGarrah this is cool
Useing a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade would be quicker, safer and easier.
Reid Kennedy think u could build me onem
Easy
That’s easy. I will step up a few things on it.
He also said he had to “braze” the plate on the drum. Rookie!
Lol
A face sheild, long sleeves and gloves will reduce the risk of injury but it is a cool stove.
