Do-it-yourself furnace for working out can be made different ways. It's great for heating. technical premises such as workshops or a garage. With a successful choice of model and its correct assembly, this heater will not only become a good heater, but will also help to warm water for making tea, washing hands or other technical needs.
These work areas do not always have a place to store firewood or other fuels, but used fuels and lubricants, such as gear and engine oil, usually found in excess.
Waste oils are most often sent for recycling, so you can always get them almost for nothing, saving on electricity or buying firewood. The heat transfer from the burned mining can be called equivalent to the heat from electric heater, and fuel consumption is from half to two liters per hour.
This method of heating has many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Information about them will help you figure out what you need to pay attention to. Special attention during the manufacture and operation of the furnace.
The advantages of waste oil furnaces include the following points:
The disadvantages of this heating method include:
Waste oil furnaces can be made, or a pyrolysis unit or a furnace with turbo burners, since they work on the same principle of burning the emitted fumes.
In this case, in the vacuum chamber of the furnace, with a lack of oxygen, the mining is heated, and its decomposition occurs. In the process of decomposition, vapors are released, which rise into another chamber, where oxygen is already intensively supplied. There, the vapors burn, giving off a lot of heat.
The convenience of using this type of furnace is that the intensity of combustion can be changed by increasing or decreasing the supply of oxygen to the pyrolysis chamber.
The disadvantage of using mining in such pyrolysis units is rapid pollution chambers and chimney products of combustion. In addition, with this type of heating it is impossible to maintain the temperature automatically, so you need to keep the stove under constant control.
They independently make similar devices that work on waste raw materials from gas or oxygen cylinders of a large or small size, pipes of various diameters or metal sheets. The design of the unit for testing can be with a drip fuel system or with blowing.
Oxygen cylinders or natural gas great for making a stove using waste raw materials. They have the desired shape, and the thickness of the metal will allow you to use the device for a very long time.
A stove made from a balloon standard size, will allow to heat a room of 70 ÷ 85 sq. m., and besides this, having somewhat improved the design, it will be possible to use such a device for the water heating circuit. Such an oven does not require installation turbo burners for forced oxygen supply. Mining enters it by gravity.
In order to make such a furnace, you must have the following materials:
Of the tools you will need a welding machine, drill, angle grinder machine - "Bulgarian", roulette, building level, another common locksmith tool.
Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of the unit begins with the preparation of the gas cylinder itself. This must be done to get rid of residual gas and odorant odor.
The cut part will then become the cap of the fuel tank, and Bottom part balloon will warm the room. Now the water from the cylinder can be drained completely.
This pipe is installed and welded into the cut hole. The welding seam must be even and tight.
- one in the center with a diameter of 100 — 110 mm - a pipe of the same size will be welded to it;
- the second - closer to the edge of the circle. Its diameter will be 50 ÷ 70 mm, a movable cover is fixed on it. Through this hole, fuel will be added to the tank and the air supply will be regulated.
In the first scheme, the elements of the furnace in mining are located a little differently, and the installation her more complex, but the effect of using the aggregate will be the same.
Another version of the stove for working out from a cylinder - with a water tank
Another version of the furnace for working out, which can heat the room, heat the water, and when the circuit is connected to become, is well suited for use in greenhouses and incubators.
The work is carried out in the same sequence as in the manufacture of the first model, but with some deviations, since in this case, it is necessary to make a sealed water container. It is located in the upper part of the cylinder, and a heated pipe will pass through it, according to the principle of a samovar, giving off heat to the water that will flow into the heating system or to the draw-off points.
There are other models of spent fuel units made using a gas cylinder. You can come up with your own design, knowing the principle of operation of this furnace.
More widespread and a popular model of the unit for testing is a design made of metal sheets. There is a completely logical explanation for this: firstly, it is compact, secondly, its weight is only 25-30 kg, and thirdly, the advantage is the presence of a kind hob, which will help not only warm the water, but also allow you to cook simple food.
It should be noted that there are several types of furnaces that differ in appearance, but they work on the same principle.
In order to make these models of furnaces, the same tools are needed as for the cylinder unit, but the materials are somewhat different:
- steel sheets having a thickness of four and six millimeters;
- segments of a steel pipe with a wall thickness of 4 mm, a diameter of 352 mm - a length of 60 and 100 mm, and a diameter of 344 mm, a length of 115 mm.
- a pipe with a diameter of 100 mm and a wall thickness of 4 ÷ 5 mm, a length of 500 mm.
— metal corner 30×30, length 800 ÷ 900 mm;
- steel strip with a thickness of 3 ÷ 4 mm.
Having prepared materials and tools, you can proceed to the next stages of work.
The process of manufacturing parts and their installation
The first thing to do is to draw up a design drawing of the furnace. You can develop it yourself, or you can use ready-made making additions, if necessary,
- For its bottom, a circle is cut out of a metal sheet using a welding machine.
- Details of the legs are cut from the corner.
- When everything for the manufacture of the container is ready, you need to immediately assemble this element of the stove using electric welding.
- For this, a pipe segment Ø 352 mm, 60 mm high is used. A cover is being prepared for him. To do this, a circle with the same diameter is cut out of a metal sheet.
- In the center of this metal cover, a hole with a diameter of 100 mm is marked and cut out - according to the diameter of the pipe, which will be welded to it later.
- Closer to the edge, you need to cut another round hole with a diameter of 60 mm. Through this neck, mining will be poured into the container, and the furnace will be ignited.
— This hole is closed with a movable cover. It is also cut out of a metal sheet, installed on the surface of the lid, making it movable - turning on the axis. For ease of opening and closing, a small handle is welded to the moving part. This cover will help regulate the flow of air into the fuel tank, and the intensity of combustion will depend on this.
The finished design is tightly put on a previously prepared container for testing. This assembly is collapsible so that it is possible to regularly clean the heater.
It will require:
- Pipe section Ø 352 mm, height 100 mm;
- Two round blanks from a metal sheet of the same diameter;
— Metal plate for internal partition, 70 cm high and 330 mm long. This part is installed in order for the heat to linger inside the stove for a longer period, without immediately leaving for chimney pipe.
- Holes Ø 100 mm are cut out in both round blanks, into which pipes will be welded - into one of them a pipe coming from below, with small holes, and into the other - a chimney. Holes are cut eccentrically - their center is 110 mm from the center of the workpiece
- The top cover is welded to the pipe section - the body. Immediately after this, it is necessary to weld the partition - it shifts as much as possible towards the chimney and boils to the lid itself and to the walls of the cylinder.
- Now you can weld the bottom cover. Its hole should be located diametrically opposite the hole on the top cover.
- A chimney pipe with a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 130 mm is welded to the top cover.
- Then assembled knot is joined by welding with a vertical perforated pipe.
If it is not possible to find pipes of large diameter, then the upper and lower nodes can be made box-shaped by welding them from a steel sheet 4 mm thick. Only the appearance of the stove will change a little, but this will not affect the principle of its design and operation.
There are others They may differ in their appearance, the location of the heating surfaces, the methods of supplying fuel and the volumes of containers for it, but the principle of operation of the units remains the same.
When using a stove that uses mining as fuel, certain safety measures must be observed, since their flame is quite open.
Having the skills to work with welding machine and others necessary tools, if desired and the availability of materials, it will not be difficult to make such a stove. If it is necessary to carry out work in the cold season in the garage or workshop, there will always be an opportunity to warm up near the fire. In the spring, when the weather is still unstable, and the seedlings have already been planted in greenhouses, a cheap fuel stove will help maintain the desired temperature in the room. You can find application for this heating unit in other circumstances when you need to quickly heat a technical or utility room. Therefore, if one is available, then it is simply necessary to have a similar heating device on the farm.
Sometimes you can’t do without heating a garage or other utility room. But how to organize it - this question for the majority becomes insoluble. Installation solid fuel stoves is simple, however, they require the purchase of firewood, coal, which is a problem in regions where there are no forests. It is much easier to negotiate with a car service, to purchase a used machine oil for a pittance or even for nothing - after all, recycling also costs money. Masters will gladly agree to give this fuel, subject to self-delivery. Today we’ll talk about do-it-yourself stoves for working out. We will provide drawings, video instructions, which means that the reader will easily understand everything.
Read in the article:
Working off is called engine oil, which has served its time in a car engine and must be replaced. It is drained, changed to fresh, and the old must be disposed of in specialized services - after all, you cannot pour it out into the street.
A little help! If mining or other fuels and lubricants are spilled on the ground, all the grass dries up in this place, and the “dead” black spot will "pleasing to the eye" for another 5-10 years.
Waste motor oil is used in heating systems as a coolant, however, for utility rooms there is an easier option that does not require high costs for the installation of highways and the installation of the boiler. This is about homemade stove in mining, in which oil is used as fuel. It may seem that it is difficult to make such a unit, however, this is a delusion. The issue is being solved by modernization - the insert is mounted on the working out for the stove. This work is within the power of even a master who has never encountered such structures. But first things first.
It is clear that if you just light the oil, the room will instantly fill with acrid smoke, and it will not be possible to stay in it. This question is solved by the insertion - a perforated pipe. Let's look at the principle of operation of the unit.
In simple terms, a second chamber is added to the combustion chamber of a conventional furnace, which is connected to the first pipe section. The oil poured into the first chamber ignites, but at the same time, the soot (in fact, unburned fuel, which gives the main heat) has nowhere to go, and it rushes through the perforated pipe into the second chamber (wood-burning stove). Through the holes, the mixture is saturated with oxygen, which allows it to burn. As a result, intense combustion occurs inside the pipe, passing into the second chamber, and the remaining soot is removed to the street through the chimney.
But understanding the principle of work is still half the battle. In order to understand how to make a furnace for working out, you need to take into account many nuances, know the layout of the unit. In addition, the heating devices themselves can be various types. Let's try to deal with this issue.
Among the total mass of such units, there are 3 main types:
The main thing now is for the reader to understand what design features each of these species has, and what advantages and disadvantages they have. Let's analyze each of them in detail.
We talked about the simplicity of the oil-burning stove-stove. The cost will also be quite low. Autonomy can be called another advantage - its operation does not depend on the presence or absence of electricity. But ... probably, this is where the advantages of this species end. But there are much more negative qualities. Among them:
However, some shortcomings can be removed if some design tricks are applied.
This type has cardinal design differences from the previous one. The perforated afterburner is placed not outside, but inside the tank. It can be a container welded from a pipe, iron sheets or even a gas cylinder. This provides a higher fire safety. A bowl is placed under the afterburner, on the bottom of which drops of oil fall. This ensures low mining consumption and increased efficiency.
minus similar design can be called the complexity of its assembly. The fact is that it is unlikely that it will be possible to assemble such a unit according to other people's drawings, observing ideal proportions. In any case, some modifications will be needed during operation.
The principle of operation of a do-it-yourself waste oil furnace with a boost is not much different from the previous version. A feature is that the design includes a fan that provides forced air supply. Also included in the circuit check valve, which excludes the ingress of combustion products into the room in the event of a fan shutdown.
Good to know! Such a unit is characterized by lower fuel consumption with greater heat transfer. The negative quality of the heater for working out with forced ventilation is energy dependence. When the fan is turned off, the draft drops sharply.
The main material for making a furnace in a mining garage is metal, although some argue that it is convenient to use an asbestos-cement pipe as a perforated afterburner. However, practice shows that similar material short-lived, and therefore, its use is unprofitable.
The most common option is an oil stove for mining, made from a gas cylinder, but it cannot be said that the design of pipes of various diameters is complex. The main task here is correct calculation pipe sections for both the reservoir, the perforated afterburner, and the blower. With any discrepancy, the unit will work unstably. That is why experienced home craftsmen say that such a used oil heater will have to be redone several times, bringing it to perfection, even if it is made according to clear drawings.
Expert opinion
HVAC design engineer (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) LLC "ASP North-West"
Ask a specialist"On the correct work such units are affected not only by a clear calculation of proportions, but also by air humidity, and even by the height of the location. This should be taken into account during production.
Regardless of the type of stove, they all have both positive and negative qualities. Let's consider them in more detail.
The advantages of such devices include:
However, such stoves also have a lot of disadvantages:
If, in the process of comparing the advantages and disadvantages, the first category is more significant, then such an aggregate is exactly suitable for a home master.
As already mentioned, the manufacture of such a unit cannot be called difficult, however, in any, even the simplest work, there are some nuances. Now let's try to disassemble the production the simplest stove drip type from a gas bottle. For this you will need:
Having prepared everything necessary details you can start making.
For the convenience of the reader, we will issue step by step instructions in tabular form.
Illustration | Action to take |
First of all, you need to drill a hole in the bottom of the cylinder to let out the remaining gas. To prevent sparks, the drill must be moistened with oil. Drill speed should be as low as possible. | |
Now, with the help of a grinder, you can cut holes according to a previously prepared drawing (some of them will be presented below). | |
From sheet steel we cut out the bottom with a hole. The cut out middle part should not be thrown away - we will need it later. | |
Approximately so the bottom will be located in our stove. We try it on and pull it out again - there is still some work to be done with it. | |
The next step is pipe preparation. We drill holes in it for air supply. This is necessary for normal operation unit. | |
This is how the finished bottom is welded with a perforated pipe. Welding seams must be of high quality. If home master no experience with a welding machine, it is better to seek help from professionals. | |
And now the middle cut from the bottom will come in handy. It should be welded to the brake disc from the car. | |
In the end, this is what happens. Now, having cut a small hole and welded a piece of pipe, we get a full-fledged coupling. | |
You can start assembling. Pay attention to the pipe on the right. It is through it that the used oil will flow into the stove. | |
Outside, we mount the crane and attach a hose made of oil-resistant rubber to it. | |
We weld the rest of the pipe on top of the gas cylinder - this will be the chimney outlet. | |
It remains only to bring the chimney pipe out of the room. | |
Raise the chimney to the required height. Usually it is 4 m. This is enough to ensure normal natural draft. |
Having understood in general terms, what is the algorithm for performing work, let's move on to the drawings and video instructions. Let's start with the same furnace from a gas cylinder.
Consider the drawings of the furnace for working out with your own hands.
Below you can find a video instruction for the manufacture of such a unit.
Heaters with a water circuit are a little more difficult to manufacture, however, this work is also within the power of a home craftsman. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the drawings of such units.
The video below will help you better understand the algorithm of work.
Naturally, the water circuit implies the presence of a boiler. It is about him that we will now talk. Below are the drawings of this design.
And, of course, a video tutorial on making a boiler.
As you can see, the drawings of the burners for working out with your own hands are simple, which means that if you have time, you can try to assemble such a unit. Moreover, it practically does not require any expenses.
In order for the operation of such units to be safe, the editors of the site recommend that you follow some rules:
Maintenance of such devices is reduced to periodic cleaning of the combustion chamber from non-combustible residues and cleaning the chimney from soot (at least once a month).
If, for some reason, the home master does not have the opportunity to independently manufacture such a unit, it is quite possible to purchase it in specialized stores or on Internet resources.
Consider at what cost such devices can be purchased. Prices are as of March 2018.
brand, model | Power, kW/h | Fuel consumption, kg/h | Average price (as of March 2018), RUB |
27 | 4 | 260 000 | |
80 | 7,2 | 102 000 | |
11,5 | 9 | 680 000 | |
16−43 | 1,4−4 | 70 000 | |
94 | 8,7 | 425 000 |
As you can see, the cost of factory-made units is quite high. So, it is more profitable to spend a little time and effort by making such a device with your own hands.
After reading today's article, someone will say that it is easier to buy a stove with factory-made waste oil. However, the cost of such units is not affordable for everyone. Do-it-yourself production practically does not require costs, which is a huge plus. Of course, you will have to go by trial and error, but in the end, such a stove will not only heat the air in the room. It will also be warm in the soul from the realization that all the work was done independently.
We hope that the information presented today was useful to our esteemed reader. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them in the discussions below. We will also be grateful if you share your experience - this will help novice home craftsmen. And finally, we suggest watching a short, but very informative video on the topic, which will help you learn how to properly ignite such units.
Among the options autonomous heating premises, the most interesting can be called a special type of potbelly stove, which uses used oil. Doing it yourself is not difficult, since the design is relatively simple, and the tools and materials necessary for work are quite affordable. During the operation of the unit, special problems also usually do not arise. The main advantage, of course, is savings, because what can be cheaper than used oil?
In such stoves, the combustion process occurs twice, that is, it will be necessary to equip two combustion chambers. In the first chamber, the used oil burns slowly, and combustible vapors are formed. They enter the second chamber, where they mix with air. This gas-combustible mixture burns in the second chamber, and releases a significant amount of heat, heating up to very high temperatures.
In a do-it-yourself waste oil furnace, combustion processes occur at a fairly high temperatures. The unit is considered quite safe, but it is not recommended to put it in a draft
In order for a homemade waste oil stove to work correctly, it is necessary to provide air supply to both the first and second chambers. Where mining is burned, a control damper is needed, since the amount of air entering here should be moderate. To provide air to the second chamber, usually a series of holes about 10 mm in diameter are made in the pipe connecting these two sections.
Autonomous heating can be provided by assembling a waste oil boiler. Detailed guide for installation you will find in our following material: .
According to the type of construction of the furnace, mining can be divided into three types:
The first option is a very simple device that craftsmen who have the skills to work with a welding machine make on their own. To do this, use a sufficiently thick sheet metal, metal pipes etc. The use of a gas cylinder can significantly reduce the operating time. There may well be gas residues in an already used cylinder. When cutting off the upper part, there is a danger of a small explosion. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to pump water into the cylinder and only after that begin dismantling.
For a forced-air oven, you will need to install an additional fan. This is done in such a way that the main air flow falls on the second chamber. This ensures high-quality combustion of the fuel, and also contributes to the uniform and rapid distribution of the resulting heat throughout the room.
Depending on the design, the waste oil furnace can use conventional convection, an air heat exchanger or water heating in a boiler
Making your own drip fuel supply is quite difficult. Typically, industrial models are completed with such an element. This allows you to significantly save the consumption of used oil. Industrial units are efficient, compact, safe and relatively inexpensive. However, there are also homemade models, combining and drip system oil supply, and boost.
You may also find it useful to read an article about the features of arranging heating at work:.
Making a sheet metal oven is not difficult. To do this, two combustion chambers are brewed, legs are attached to the bottom. Then they are connected by a pipe with holes, a vertical chimney is mounted on the upper combustion chamber, etc. However, all these operations require rather lengthy welding work. To reduce them, craftsmen successfully use gas cylinders. These containers have sufficiently thick walls to ensure both the fire safety of the structure and long term its operation.
Regardless of whether a cylinder or sheet metal is used to make a furnace, a number of rules should be followed when creating a structure. They need to be taken into account when figuring out how to make a waste oil furnace.
Exist various options the use of a cylinder in the manufacture of a furnace for testing. The simplest one looks like this:
To easily place the oven in the correct position on uneven surface, it is recommended to make legs that can be adjusted in height.
This is the easiest way to use a gas cylinder to create such a heater. The following diagram shows a more complex garage stove for testing. It uses a gas cylinder, while a pressurization system and drip fuel supply are installed.
This is a manufacturing option complex furnace on testing from a gas cylinder, which takes into account the possibility of organizing pressurization, and also a drip fuel supply system is installed
For heating small rooms, you can build a potbelly stove that will last more than one year:.
Although the device is not complex, it is still recommended to follow a number of rules when using it:
Working furnaces are well-deservedly popular with car owners, as well as at service stations, in small car services, etc. With their help, you can successfully heat small and medium-sized rooms.
Furnace in development - non-standard, but very effective solution for heating technical rooms, car repair shops and garages. This design is designed for fast and economical heating at minimal cost and high efficiency. Considering that industrial premises are rarely insulated, the furnace power must be higher than the standard one, which is calculated using the formula 5 kV / 50 m 2. In our article, you will learn how to make a do-it-yourself furnace for testing: drawings from a gas cylinder, a launch video, the pros and cons of such a design.
If we take into account the complexity of manufacturing and the cost of fuel, a gas cylinder mining furnace is the most budgetary and most effective option. The shape itself helps in many ways - spherical, in fact, an ideal firebox. For any furnace, the presence of two holes is fundamental - the inlet, where the fuel is loaded, and the outlet - where the processed gases come from, and this is easy to do from a ready-made cylinder. Its shape is also suitable because the cylinder holds required pressure while minimizing metal consumption.
Be sure to deburr all holes. If this is not done, over time, the settling soot will lead to their narrowing and deterioration in the characteristics of the furnace when working out from a propane cylinder.
Put the membrane on the burner and weld it with hot welding exactly in the center.
Insert the workpiece into the cylinder and weld already around the entire perimeter. If the pipe is welded along the lower boundary of the partition, it will be possible to fill the furnace during mining not only with used oil, but also solid fuel- wood chips, briquettes, pellets, etc.
If this is not at hand, you make a thicket of any heat-resistant metal that will not deform from temperature changes.
Video 1 Starting up a waste oil furnace
You can improve the design by welding a pipe to the cover at an angle of up to 40 degrees and cutting it so that you get a “nose”. This is done in order to make it convenient to pour oil.
And if you screw an ordinary ball valve onto the pipe (see photo), then the design will also turn out to be safe. Because it will allow you to shut off the fuel supply in case of problems on the tank.
A pipe with a diameter of 10 cm also acts as a heat exchanger, which enters the body strictly horizontally.
To concentrate hot air, a heat-reflecting screen made of 4 mm metal sheet can be welded to the end of the pipe.
This option is an improved model of a home-made furnace for working out from oxygen cylinder, which, if necessary, can even heat a living space. To do this, it will need to be embedded in common system home heating.
There are 2 main methods for organizing a furnace for mining with a water circuit:
The first way is very simple, economical. But quite effective. As a coil, you can use a conventional copper pipe, which crashes into the heating system of the house in order to ensure the circulation of the coolant.
The second method is more complicated, which involves the manufacture of a separate water jacket, which is subsequently put on the burner itself.
Like any heating device, a 5 liter gas cylinder furnace has its pros and cons.
Taking into account the fact that the furnace in mining (oil mining) is extremely flammable, a number of precautionary measures must be observed during operation, namely:
To start the furnace, it is necessary to pour used oil on the bottom, pour kerosene or diesel fuel on top. Next, set fire to a tourniquet of paper or fabric and stick it into the hole.
It is advisable to clean the oven every time after using the oven. Soot and soot accumulating on metal surfaces, isolate the reflective properties of the metal and significantly reduce the efficiency of the stove.
It is advisable to make a furnace for working out from a gas cylinder with your own hands only if you have such fuel. It is not difficult to find it, since auto repair shops must dispose of used oil. But some "businessmen" even manage to sell such oil. Judging by the prices in the network, the average price per liter of used oil in the region ranges from 5 to 15 rubles.
Today's article is devoted to how to make a furnace from a gas cylinder for working out with your own hands. We will look at exactly how to heat a room using used oil and an old cylinder - there will be a corresponding video and drawings. This method has its own characteristics that everyone must know, but we will talk about this later.
This method is often used in non-residential premises like garages, workshops, warehouses, etc. Everything works quite simply - first, the mining heats up, after which oil vapors form, which also burn, and much more intense than the liquid fuel itself. As a result, we have a fairly efficient gas cylinder furnace for mining, which is able to heat a small room for a very small amount.
This method of heating a room is very popular in auto repair shops - there is always free oil at hand, which is drained from old cars. In this case, heat is generally obtained free of charge, plus everything, there is no need to look for how to dispose of old oil. The only point is before use it needs to be cleaned so that there there were no impurities.
After reading the list below, you can finally decide whether it is worth it, since there is many nuances associated with both the unit and the type of fuel used in it.
Pros:
The cost of a mining furnace is minimal. If there is no desire to buy, you can make it or sheet metal. There are plenty of drawings and videos on the Internet, even a person with minimal skills will be able to repeat the whole process.

In second place, of course, the price of the fuel itself- if you buy it "ready to use", the price per liter will be no more than 15 rubles. It often sells for 8 to 12 rubles(depending on seasonality and region).
The design and the fuel itself are safe. The cylinder stove gives enough heat, while no bad smell or burning / soot. This is due to the fact that the oil emits vapors when heated, and already when burned, they provide a "supply" of heat to the room.
Minuses:
Do not use used oil that has not been purified in the oven. In this case, the nozzles will quickly become clogged and the balloon may explode in addition, the effectiveness of such an oil is questionable.
Fuel must be stored under certain conditions. At low temperatures, the oil freezes and becomes useless. Imagine you came to the garage, you want to quickly heat it up, and the stove turns out to be completely useless, as the oil has turned into ice.
You can make such a furnace from an oxygen or carbon cylinder. The main advantage is that the walls of the original material are thick (sometimes up to one and a half centimeters). And this means that the equipment will be able to work for a very long time. Even the simplest option from a small cylinder will heat the room without any problems. 70-80 squares.
There is another plus - processing comes by itself. In addition, you do not need to be smart with the creation of an air supply system - this is simply not necessary in this type of furnace.
In order to make a finished oven with our own hands, we need detailed drawings, as well as following tools/materials: a grinder, a file, a drill, a tape measure, a capacity of ~ 10 liters (for fuel), as well as pipes with a thickness of at least 2 mm. and iron corners.

The thickness of the balloon is important due to the fact that the walls will heat up up to 600 degrees Celsius or more. Thin walls can “crumble” from such an impact. The container itself must be thoroughly rinsed with water to get rid of all foreign liquids and odors.
First you need to fix the balloon. But don't do it yourself. It is best to dig it 10-15 centimeters into the ground, and only then start working as a grinder. top cut off (next it will need to make a hole in it), but in no case should we throw it away - it will be used as a “lid”.
We do the same with bottom- cut it off. It will serve as a "camera". We weld iron corners to the lower part, which will serve as legs for the future furnace.
A pipe must be connected to the hole made in the upper part of the cylinder to remove the smoke. Its diameter should be about 10 centimeters, and its length should be at least 4 meters. It is enough to weld the pipe (this can be done after the installation of the furnace itself).
Next, you need to work with this pipe. It is necessary to make 10 holes in it at a small distance from each other. The hole size is about 3 mm. One of the holes should be 5-7 centimeters- we weld a pipe to it with a length of 2 m or more, which is located parallel to the floor (in fact, it departs “sideways” from the vertical one and serves as a chimney).
We will need another hole of a similar diameter on the same pipe in order to regulate the intensity of the air supply. It needs to be covered with a plate.
As you can see, it’s not so difficult to create a finished oven from a cylinder with your own hands, but text instruction is not always enough, so we advise you to carefully study the diagrams and videos before you start acting.
