Guy at work is constantly talking about this now that its getting cold and I had the idea that the place to find someone who had done this was people with the skills to do it. What would be the point of asking office people for example how to do anything. We have acess to steel sheet from 12 ga to 3/8 thick. He can get slabs from his brother-in-laws sawmill and wants to run hot water from the outside furnace into the house. Then use radiators to warm up the place. I know that there is more to doing it than just a box to get it very efficient and thought he should find a book on how wood stoves are constructed. Anyone here with any experience at this or wood stove construction? I think I remember that if you use steel plate that it won't last as long as cast iron for some reason. ?? Rosce
