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.
