2 for a greenhouse wood burning barrel stove<<<

Bill used the iron inside tank of a hot water heater, he cut the top out of the side and welded a flat iron plate in the cut out area for cooking.

It lays on the side, with a flat top...works and is good at cooking things.

Wish they still made them that way... Now they are like a big tin can with a glass lining.

Years ago, I had a 2 barrel Sotz wood heater that put out 240,000 btu - Since propane got so expensive, I have not used the greenhouse, even removed the cover. Now, I am going to move half of it to the back of the house (South side) this fall - 24’ X 48’ instead of the 96’ it was. The one heater will heat that very nicely, even in the really cold weather. In fact, it will add heat to the main house on sunny days.
