Build Yourself A Barrel Stove ENERGY Wood Burners (65) 2-1-11 A conversion kit from Country Craftsman makes a horizontal wood burning stove from a 17, 30 or 55 gal, drum. "If you have a very large area to heat and fuel is no problem, consider using the 55 gal. drum with our Model 15155 kit," advises the manufacturer. "Otherwise, we recommend the smaller size 30 or 17 gal. drums which, when fully stoked, deliver a large amount of heat and require less space and fuel." Each kit contains steel legs, cast iron 5 in. stove pipe flange, iron door assembly with primary and secondary air draft controls, all assembly hardware and easy bolt-together instructions.
Model 15155 kit has a 91/2 in. round door opening to accept large logs as well as scrap wood and trash. Model 15/30 kit for 15 to 30 gal. capacity drums has a 5 x 8 rectangular door opening. Cost, including shipping, is $27.50 for the Model 15130 kit and $35.00 for the Model 15155 kit for 55 gal. barrels.
