awesome,

November 12, 2009

By mattstl

from St. Louis, MO

"ok i bought all the parts to make the top and bottom. the bottom barrel went together no problem. The top barrel however was a bit problematic. Simply because the second top barrel bracket was cast at an angle causing the connector pipe to seperate from the collars when tightening down the nuts. I finally just put it aside and let the rear of the top barrels stand on the collars and connecting pipe.

if your not used to working by feel or working blind this kit might be hard for you. you have to stick your hands into places you can't see.

Otherwise this thing kicks, so hot you can barely stand next to it. Also the first fire will cause some smoking of the paint and epoxy on the barrels so be prepared to vent the area for a while. Also Connected some 2 inch black iron nipples,elbow, ball valve, pipe and check valve to the 2 inch bung hole to make a "carb" in increase airflow without letting smoke out."

Bumpy start, but great stove.,

November 3, 2009

By hack875

from Buffalo, NY

"I got the kit in, but being cast iron, both sets of legs had broken due to shipping.
Northern Tool sent a replacement free of charge, immediately. Gotta love Northern Tool, I've never been disappointed by them.

I bought a barrel (double thickness) from the local auto parts store for $20 (actually two at $20 a piece, as I also got the second barrel kit, which more than doubles the heat output).

After cementing in some heat transfer stones (you know the ones you use in your propane bbq broilers) with fireplace mortor, placing a narrow fireplace grate into the stove, I had a working wood stove.

I combined this with the 2nd barrel (Item# 16161) kit and a heat transfer unit (item# 172781), I had a way to heat the back half of my house using just scrap wood from the local tree trimming services and broken pallets from the local car dealer, printing shop and that auto parts place.

Adding a duct to cover the outlet of the heat exchanger and ducted upstairs, as well as placing some internal ducting into the transfer unit (to prevent back pressure of the hot air), I had a wonderful way to slash my heating budget. All for less than $300. I have used it for two heating seasons, and I expect to be able to do this for years to come. A great set of products from Vogelzang and Magic Heat!"

Works well,

December 7, 2008

By bradknows

from Artesia, NM

"The barrel stove works great if you leave the small air vent plug out of the bottom of the barrel to allow more combustion air in. The screw heads provided with the kit strip easily, but this might be intentional to prevent over tightening and cracking the cast iron. I highly recommend the second barrel kit."

top stove,

November 21, 2008

By partimechef

from Brownfield,Me

"bought stove kit &barrel back in late summer /early fall,took awhile getting around to putting together. It is now heating a 28x28x10 garage with loft apt upstairs. Kit was super easy to put together and stove is very simple to use and heat output is excellent. I get about a 6-8hr burn. This is my 3rd kit stove in the last 30yrs(the last 2 were left at prior homes as part of the sale) I will be ordering another in the spring to make a custom fireplace insert. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

MAKES A GREAT FURNACE !!!!,

November 18, 2008

By ynothd

from McDaniels, Ky.

"it was so simple to put my barrel stove kit together, (I chose a 2 barrel set up) . most people use this in their shop or garage. but i put it in my basement ( it is set up like a garage with a roll up door) and after setting it up built a box around it with 2x4's and tin with a 18 inch clearence on each side, wider than the barrels, I cut out two round holes and let the barrels stick out 3 inches on the front side of the tin. and put a blower on it drawing air from my return air duct to the fan ( I built a small box for it) then to the bottom of what I call (the heat box) around the barrels. then put a duct out of the top of the box next to the smoke stack for max heat to my duct where my over priced propane furnace used to be and sealed it all up nice and tight. with high temp silicone. now we are as warm as ever and it Does Not COST me a fortune to run, like my propane did. and we dont smell the wood ( that was a must for my wife) thank you for such a GREAT KIT. I tell everyone about it !!!!"

Very cost effective,

November 17, 2008

By dustyone

from NW corner, OH

"This product was a great buy, especially with the costs for heating going up. Once I found a barrel, this setup made it really easy for me to get the heat going in no time. It was pretty easy to install, includes almost everything you need, and at a very good price. My stove has been running non-stop now for about a month and I have absolutely no complaints."

Stove yes - works well, not so much,

"Going the less expensive rout in the barn â€“ I opted to build a barrel stove using this kit and the second barrel adapter to make it more efficient. The results are good with the exception of the fact that the stove does not have enough available air inflow when the door is closed to keep a fire burning hot and complete. I have found that I need to leave the door opened about 1/2â€? to provide enough air to the fire.
The issue is NOT the chimney (also bought through Northern) as the draft is very strong when the door is open (it will almost blow out a match trying to light the fire. The design simply oxygen starves the firebox.
Itâ€™s a fair design given that â€“ it works great when I leave the door opened a crack â€“ makes the barn warm."

AMAZING PRODUCT,

August 19, 2008

By passion4hunting

from Delta UT

"This is an amazing product. it is an inexpensive and highly effective way to heat your garage, shop, or cabin i have one in all three. i prefer the two barrel stove over one barrel due to bigger heating area i highly recomend this product for any one who needs inexpensive and effective heat."

Greatest economic choice for heating a garage.,

August 18, 2008

By upstateman

from Upstate, NY

"I purchased this kit with the intention of heating my 20' x 50' uninsulated workshop. I had no interest in heating with any liquid fuel as I have several acres of woods to use wood to heat.

This is not the most efficient kit to burn wood with, but it is the quickest way to heat up a workshop with wood. I got my workshop from 10 degrees to 70 in less than twenty minutes. It's great, and I look forward to using all this next winter.

If I could make one suggestion to the manufacturers it would be to make a better locking mechanism for the front door latch, other than that, great design!"
