Stay warm,
April 20, 2008
By ChrisDfrom Lebanon Mo
"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 savagefrom 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."
