Well , I have been in the market for a wood stove for a while , and after much searching I can not find what I want . Most of the stuff I find out there has alot of brass and pretty stuff on it ($$$$$) , but what I want is just for heat .
So I was thinking about building my own . Is there anything to be concerned about other than making sure the flu has a constant rise to it etc. I am realy concerned more about the construction of the stove itself .
I was thinking of using 3/16" stell all the way around and lining the bottom with some of the thinner fire bricks . I think these are like 1"thick x 4 x 5 .
Also I would make the door with the traditional seal . I do not know what it is called but it
is like a fire proof cord .
The dimensions I was thinking about building it to are
26 tall
32 wide
32 deep
Let me know your thoughts .
Thanks!
