Reply:I was thinking of building a stand out if expanded metal to put in the bottom to keep the wood off the metalSent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2you ain't gotta eat it
Reply:That's a given to do that! Or even build a log rack out of round stock, or re-bar. And even put a layer of sand in the bottom so the coals can lay on the sand. I was thinking more of the top, and sides where the flames will touch.Dont pay any attention to meIm just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400

Reply:i was thinking about the forced air ones. i have seen them on here and thought they lasted a while from what I have read. I donlt know about the sand. wouldn't that make it harder to get the ash out?you ain't gotta eat it
Reply:Are they legal for garages, or more importantly does it affect your HO insurance?
Reply:I live in the country and have one in the house.you ain't gotta eat it
Reply:From what I understand in a residential setting:It doesn't affect your insurance if you don't tell your agent AND you don't have a fire. OrIt significantly affects your insurance if you tell em, and you'd still have coverage if there were to be a fire. You'll still be warmer either way Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2.How do you know the blacksmith's dog? When you hollar at him he makes a bolt for the door!

Reply:If you line the bottom of the barrel with fire bricks it will increase its useful life. Around here you can buy the barrels for $15-20 so even if they burn out every few years it's not a big deal. The last time I built one (six or seven years ago) the parts kit with legs, door and flue joint cost about $70. Having a heat source capable of warming a workshop for around a $100 seems pretty cheap.
