Good kit,

"This is a good kit, I didn't like where the holes were drilled in the legs so I redrilled a hole further outboard, worked easier than trying to fit the screws in the stock locations. This kit heats my 1200 sf shop up quite well!"

Dbl. Barrel adapter,

February 17, 2010

By Sam3

from Montana

"Instructions are a little vague but with a minimal amount of common sense it goes together really easy. The nuts, bolts and washers were loose in the box and some were missing so I went to the hardware store and for a couple bucks got what I needed."

works great top assembly needs improvement,

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."

Measure, Measure, & then measure again before cut,

November 3, 2009

By hack875

from Buffalo, NY

"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.

(Note: To anyone considering this, make sure you measure where your bottom barrel outlet is in relation to the end cap, and make sure you mock up the top barrel before drilling holes and cutting the transfer pipe between, or you will have an awful time getting the top barrel to work properly).

Placing an all metal rack (Make sure it's steel, not aluminum, or it will bend from the heat) a couple of feet above the 2nd barrel, allows me to dry out the next batch of wood, as well as humidifying the area when I have wet wood.

Cutting two duct openings into the floor about a foot on either side above the top barrel, and placing square contractors thermostatically controlled fans, allows all the extra heat from the top barrel to move into the upstairs living space. I combine this with an inexpensive house fan placed in the door of the room above the stove to move the heat to the rest of the back half of the house.

Adding a duct to cover the outlet of the heat exchanger and ducted upstairs (2nd story), 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!"

"The instructions are a little vague and confusing but are workable. However the heater I made with this puts off a lot of heat - I easily kept a 1200sq ft shop warm. The parts are durable cast iron."

design flaws,

January 14, 2008

By savage

from CT

"attaching the two barrels together is impossible with this Kit. The castings are all uneven and don't conform to the shape of the barrel and they give you all nuts and bolts. You can't get your hand inside the top barrel to put on the nuts. they should have used self tappers or somthing different to attach top barrel to leg supports once they are attaced to the bottom barrel. I may have to cut holes into the ends of the top barrel to get the nuts onto the screws, then patch the barrel."
