[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3930486, member: 5412"] I built something similar years ago using 1/4” steel plates and 2” pipe for the heat exchanger. It was only a single level fireplace vs the double level you posted. The problem with using the thick steel is that it took over an hour for the fire wood to generate coals with the heat finally getting through the steel to heat the shop. Once it got going it was a beast of a heater though. The double barrel stove I currently use has thin steel a radiates the heat quickly. It gets hot enough you can’t stand within 5’ of it. [/QUOTE]
