Title: My home made outdoor wood stove
Post by: Kwill on January 22, 2018, 10:24:49 PM

Here are some pics of my outdoor wood stove while I was building it. Stove works really good and kept the house warm in the frigid temps we had this winter. Its a simple design that has a thermostat in the house that controls a draft door. When the house calls for heat the draft door opens till it gets up to temp. The blower is set to come on at a certain temp and go off at a certain temp. it has a high temp cutout to drop the draft door if it gets to hot. Just a nice simple setup that keeps the house warm.

Yes the hole is where the blower motor mounts up for the cold air return from the house hooks to. Its a 18 inch flex duct.

Thanks for the info. How does insurance look at it. We always have problems with them up here. If it burns wood dont matter were it is they want to surcharge.
