Tools and Hardware Reviews of Vogelzang Barrel Stove Kit, Model# BK100ECustomer Review: Must be substantially augmented, but worth it. Summary: 3 Stars
Little about this kit is suitable for long term use. The barrel face will warp under the door, creating numerous air leaks. The air holes are too small to keep the fire going and create backpuffing. The latch is completely hopeless. The legs are too short and need a front to back brace. But the pipe flange is good. I'll mention what I did: I cross braced the legs and raised the stove on two cement blocks. The stove legs are bolted to the blocks. I used 2 kits. That gave me 2 door frames. I cut one frame into 2 pieces because one frame had to fit inside the stove. The whole frame goes on the outside and the cut one on the inside. I put fiberglass cloth under the outside frame then drilled double holes. Once bolted it is super strong and permanently leak and warp-free. I used the round bung opening for the air inlet and a flat steel backer to slow down the air - no more puffing. On the outside of the bung I screwed on a 2" by 8" cast iron plumber's pipe (same threads!!) with a little door over the end. I made a heavy latch for the door. For the smoke and ash removal I used three pipe flanges; each with fiberglass cloth underneath. Two on the top for the flue: one a closeable straight pipe and one that joins the straight pipe containing a 6" by 2" catalytic converter ($120 ebay). The third one is on the bottom with a cap for ash removal. It's great to just push the ash out the bottom into a container instead of shoveling. I lined the bottom of the barrel up to 1/2 the sides with firebrick to prevent burn-through. Unfortunately, the catalytic combustor is a must. The stove will put a full inch of creosote in the chimney PER MONTH. I've had 8-plus chimney fires. But not any more :).
