Homemade metal stove 200 liter barrel: drawings, stove diagram, photos and videos. A barrel stove can be used for heating garages, work spaces, greenhouses and other premises.
A standard 200 liter metal barrel has a height of 860 mm, a diameter of 590 mm and a weight of 20 - 26 kg.
The dimensions of the barrel are almost ideal for making a stove from it, the only caveat is the thin walls of the barrel 1 - 1.5 mm, which will quickly burn out from the high temperature. As an option, the firebox can be lined with refractory bricks from the inside.
To make a stove you will need:
- Two 200 liter barrels.
- Oven door.
- Grate bars.
- Sheet metal, angles and rods.
- Chimney pipe.
- Fire brick.
- Grinder with cutting wheel.
- Welding machine.
- Electric drill.
Stove from a 200 liter barrel: diagram.
Using a grinder, we cut off the top of the barrel and cut out a side opening for the fire door.
Using a welding machine, we weld the combustion door to the barrel. At a height of 20 cm from the bottom of the barrel, we install grates for ash.
You can make a separate door under the ash pan; by opening it slightly, you can adjust the draft force in the oven.
To prevent the metal walls of the barrel from burning out over time, you need to lay out inner surface fireboxes with refractory bricks. To fit the bricks more tightly, we file them with a grinder.
To lay the chimney labyrinth, you need to weld crossbars from the corners for bricks.
The bricks are laid out on the kiln mortar. The composition of the kiln solution is 1 part clay to 2 parts sand, the mixture is mixed with minimum quantity water to a very thick consistency.
The thickness of masonry joints should not exceed 5 mm.
To increase the heat transfer of the stove, you can install another barrel on top. You need to make a hole in the barrel for the chimney and weld a piece of pipe under the chimney.
The chimney will have to be periodically cleaned of soot, so it is better to make it collapsible, I recommend reading the article - how to make a chimney for a potbelly stove.
Do-it-yourself barrel for burning garbage at the dacha - a design that garden plots can be found not so rarely. However, not every gardener knows how to make a stove out of a barrel that is as efficient and convenient as possible. But most importantly, not everyone knows that burning waste in a dacha is generally prohibited by law. This article is about the nuances of getting rid of garbage at the dacha.
Before using a barrel to burn garbage in your country house, it is better to carefully study the law.
Important! Russian legislation establishes a ban on burning waste in the city and in summer cottages (ST 20.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
Environmental services also say damage is being caused environment as a result of setting fire to dried plants. Burning plant waste, especially in spring, often leads to numerous fires, which sometimes cover vast areas and end very badly. Fires for burning grass lit in the city have Negative influence for many residents with hypertension, asthma and other diseases.
Often, employees of various environmental services and fire safety inspectors carry out raids on personal plots in order to identify fire safety violators and carry out explanatory work with them. However, many “arsonists” ignore warnings until they are brought to administrative responsibility.
The ban on burning waste is stipulated in Federal law“On the protection of atmospheric air.”
Note! It is prohibited to burn plant and other waste in open areas. summer cottages, it is also prohibited to use barrels, trash cans, and containers for burning garbage.
For failure to comply with the provisions of the law, a citizen may be held accountable and subject to a fine. The following fines are provided for different categories of persons:
- for ordinary citizens – 2,000 – 3,000 rubles;
- for citizens who are officials - 6,000 - 15,000 rubles;
- for individual entrepreneurs – 20,000 – 30,000 rubles. (or suspension entrepreneurial activity for a period of up to 90 days);
- for legal entities – 150,000 – 200,000 rubles. (or suspension of activities for 90 days).
The amount of fines may vary depending on the region of the country and the time of year (for example, during the established fire regime period in May, the amount of fines increases for all persons).
In addition to such monetary compensation, persons whose waste burning led to a fire will have to pay certain amounts of money for environmental damage caused.
Environmental services employees recommend that summer residents waste disposal plant origin use compost pits. To dispose of other waste, it is necessary to resort to the services of specialized companies for the removal and/or processing of household waste.
This video talks about the ban on burning waste in summer cottages and how service employees identify violators.
Having studied the legal aspects, we can say that it is still possible to burn vegetable waste at the dacha, but at the same time, all the requirements of the fire safety rules established by the Ministry of Emergency Situations must be complied with, and places for burning must also be agreed upon with fire service employees .
How to make a burning stove from a barrel
If you nevertheless decide, having fulfilled all safety requirements, to get rid of plant waste yourself by burning, then for this purpose you can use different designs from a barrel.
How to make a barrel for burning garbage so that it functions as a furnace? For this you will need, of course, a metal barrel and a little engineering skills.
Let's consider several options enough simple designs from barrels used as a waste incinerator.
- A barrel without a bottom, mounted on bricks. First you need to prepare the site. To do this, pour sand with a layer thickness of approximately 10 - 15 cm onto a plot of land. Then you need to put a sheet of metal on the sand, on which the enclosing brick support is folded in the shape of the letter “P”. A grate should be placed on top of such a support. Then you need to install the barrel itself (after removing its bottom) on a brick base. This design of the barrel allows you to put dacha waste through the top, and ignite the fire below, in the brick fence. At the same time, it is easy and convenient to remove the resulting ash. When it rains, it is better to cover this structure with a lid.
- Barrel for burning waste with a drilled bottom. At the bottom of the barrel you need to drill a large number of holes (more than 10) to allow air to enter. For better oxygen penetration and for ash to fall out of the container, attach 4 metal support legs to the barrel. Install a metal grate inside at a height of 15 cm from the bottom of the barrel. At a distance of approximately 20 cm from the bottom, cut a hole in the container to serve as a blower. Attach metal loops to it and attach it again to the barrel so that you get a door with which you can add firewood and regulate the strength of the fire in the container. For convenience when transferring the structure to the barrel, handles can be welded. To protect from rain you need to use a cover.
The options considered are just some of the barrel designs used to burn accumulated plant waste. The creation of such stoves is limited only by your imagination, and, of course, by safety regulations.
About one of the fairly simple designs of barrel-stoves used for burning leaves, branches, dry grass, etc. at the dacha, they say in the next video
In addition, some craftsmen use barrels to create stoves for heating small spaces. Having at least a little knowledge of physics and necessary tool, you can build, for example, a stove from a 200-liter barrel (standard volume), which is used to maintain heat in a garage or greenhouse.
Pros and cons of burning waste in a barrel stove
Each design has both its pros and cons. Of the general advantages and disadvantages, the following positive and negative points can be highlighted.
- barrel-stoves are mobile and easy to move around the garden;
- allow you to avoid open fire;
- the strength of the fire can be controlled.
- constant exposure of the barrel to elevated temperatures leads to wear and tear of the structure;
- the use of barrel stoves even in your own garden plot is prohibited by law; constant use of them will most likely lead to the payment of fines;
- This method of disposal of garbage is not environmentally friendly, and also does not provide absolute fire safety.
Do they sell ready-made solutions?
In stores with garden tool You can find ready-made waste incinerators that provide maximum fire safety. In terms of design and operating principle, everything ready-made solutions sound like homemade stoves from barrels. A number of manufacturers install chimneys on their stoves to increase the burning rate of waste. Such containers ensure high intensity of waste combustion even in rain (with the top furnace lid closed). The main advantages of purchased stoves over homemade ones are their Fire safety and more aesthetic appearance. One of the disadvantages of store-bought ovens is their high cost.
Burning garbage in a barrel - easy way get rid of waste, but is far from safe. The substances formed during the combustion process pollute the environment. It is for reasons of fire and environmental safety Lighting a fire in garden areas (open or in a container) is prohibited. But every summer resident has the right to decide for himself whether to deceive the law or not.
Collapse
A potbelly stove made from a 200 liter barrel can be installed in different rooms: in the garage, at the dacha, warehouse, etc. Its main advantage is the high heating rate. It quickly heats the air in the room and cools just as quickly due to the properties of the metal body.
Most Popular homemade model considered to be a potbelly stove made from a barrel. Its manufacture and installation does not require expensive materials or special skills. It is designed so simply that you can easily assemble it with your own hands.
About the design
A homemade potbelly stove made from a barrel has a height of 89 cm, a diameter of 60 cm and a weight of 21 - 25 kg, has a solid hearth and a fairly high chimney. Used as fuel sawdust, shavings, dry firewood and fuel briquettes. Due to the rather thin metal walls and the height of the body, the efficiency of such a furnace does not exceed 15 - 20%.
The principle of its operation is quite simple: wood is placed in the firebox and ignited. When burning, wood releases a large number of thermal energy that is transferred to the body of the potbelly stove. The heated metal releases heat into the surrounding atmosphere and heats the room. The amount of heat increases due to the long chimney through which hot smoke moves to the street.
Expert opinion
Nikolay Davydov
Stove maker with 15 years of experience
For the correct flow of gas-dynamic processes in a potbelly stove made from a 200 liter barrel, the blower should be located as low as possible. Otherwise, the lower part will take a significant part of the thermal energy and redirect it to the ground. If you need to place the ashpit higher, you can wall up the lower part of the container with bricks.
Choosing a quality barrel
To make a potbelly stove, you can use any steel barrel used in the petrochemical, paint and varnish, chemical, and metallurgical industries for storing and transporting technical products:
bulk - oils, solvents, paints, diesel fuel, sodium liquid glass;
pasty - thick lubricants, bitumen;
bulk - caustic soda, various plasticizers.
They are produced in two types - with open and closed top, and also differ in the thickness of the bottom, lid and shell.
Any of these containers can be used as a potbelly stove if you first thoroughly clean and rinse its inner surface. However, the thinner the walls of the container, the faster they will burn out and the stove will fail. Therefore, for a potbelly stove you need to choose a product with a metal thickness of more than 2 mm.

Well, the most the best option- stainless steel barrel. High alloy stainless steel is most resistant to impact high temperatures in the fuel combustion zone, which means a stove made from it will serve for a longer period.
Additional materials
For the construction of a heating device other than the metal barrel for 200 liters the following additional building materials and stove fittings will be required:
fireclay brick for a vertical model or a reflector for a horizontal one;
a small piece of channel;
steel pipes for the chimney;
fittings for the grate;
sand, clay for making mortar;
asbestos cord;
combustion door;
blower door;
basalt wool for chimney insulation.
small steel sheet;
Required Tools
To build a high-quality potbelly stove from a 200-liter barrel with your own hands, you need to prepare a minimum set of tools, consisting of:
welding machine;
grinders or hacksaws for metal;
standard hammer, pliers and chisel;
steel brush;
drills with a set of drills;
measuring instruments: tape measure, level and plumb line.
Personal protective equipment is also needed when welding work: protective mask, dielectric gloves, protective clothing made of thick fabric and closed shoes.
Manufacturing Instructions
During operation of the stove, its body heats up strongly, so such a heating apparatus must be placed on a monolithic fire-resistant surface. This can be a layer of concrete, asphalt concrete, a metal sheet, or just land. The stove must have its own chimney, connecting the device to the chimney of others heating devices prohibited.
There are two options for assembling such a furnace: with horizontal and vertical arrangement barrels.
Vertical model
Vertical potbelly stove from a barrel
Scheme of a vertical potbelly stove made from a barrel
The manufacturing process of a vertical furnace model looks like this:
- Prepare an opening on the side surface of the barrel to allow loading of firewood;
- At a height of 20 cm from the bottom of the container, install grate bars - a metal plate with holes or a welded cellular structure made of reinforcement. To fix them, use a regular steel corner.
Option 1 - mesh grid
Option 2 - fittings
- Next we make a chimney (more details below).
The door can be purchased in advance or a cut-out part of the wall can be adapted: hinges and a handle can be welded to it, making it convenient to close and open the combustion chamber;
Somewhat lower combustion door cut another hole for mounting the blower door. To make the blower itself, a thick-walled pipe, cut lengthwise, is used. It should be able to move along the metal slats, but not be completely removed; 
You need to weld metal legs at the bottom of the barrel or simply install the structure on bricks;
Role hob will be performed by steel wire, which can be welded to top cover ovens;
Brick lining (optional)
To protect the walls of the container from burning, the inner surface of the firebox can be additionally lined with refractory bricks, giving it a semicircular shape using a grinder. Masonry should be carried out using a kiln mortar consisting of 1 part fatty clay and 2 parts sand. The mixture is made with a minimum amount of water and should have a thick consistency;
A hole for a chimney with a diameter of at least 15 cm is cut out from the side of the container in its upper part (or side). The height of the pipe must be at least 4 m. When installing it, the following recommendations should be taken into account:
It is advisable not to install the pipe strictly vertically; the presence of horizontal and inclined sections increases the amount of heat received, but the number of turns should not exceed 3 times;
the bending angle should be 30 degrees, and only in exceptional cases reach 45 degrees;
horizontally located chimney elements cannot be longer than 1 m;
to prevent condensation, the part of the chimney facing the street should be insulated with basalt wool;
To reduce the load on the device body, the chimney must be attached to the wall.
On the chimney of a potbelly stove, you can install a rotary valve or a valve that moves along guides. Using this element, you can adjust the intensity of heated smoke removal and completely block the chimney during the period when the stove is not heated.
Horizontal model
The efficiency of a potbelly stove made from a 200 liter barrel will be higher if it is made and placed horizontally.

You should not place flammable things near the stove, and when moving you should be careful of accidental contact open areas skin with its body to avoid burns. The room where the potbelly stove is installed should be well ventilated, at least naturally.
Features of operation
When operating the stove, it is necessary to alternate its lighting cycles, which include:
fuel storage;
ignition of the stove;
direct combustion process with room heating;
cleaning of ash products from the combustion and blower sections.
The most important stage is the placement of fuel, which must be placed in a certain order to facilitate the ignition process. First you need to put paper and thin dry firewood on the grate, light a fire and close the door.
Once the kindling material has ignited, larger logs can be added. Wood must be loaded carefully to prevent the fire from dying out. Once the wood has been fully loaded, the fire door must be closed tightly.
The draft in a potbelly stove can be adjusted by using a valve on the chimney or by slightly opening the ash door.
While the stove is burning, you must not touch its body to avoid getting burned.
To restore draft after a long period of burning, it is necessary to periodically disassemble the chimney and clean its elements from accumulated soot.
Conclusion
A potbelly stove is a fairly simple heating device, and it is for this quality that it is considered a brilliant invention. How to make a potbelly stove from a barrel can be understood from the instructions and you can build it yourself. A potbelly stove will bring considerable benefits: it will solve problems with heating outbuildings and country houses, remote from the central gas supply lines. In addition, it is easily transported and installed, and can be moved to another room if necessary.

Manufacturing progress.
First, remove the top of the barrel, then cut the side for the door.
We take welding and attach the door of the future stove. We measure 200 mm from the bottom and install grate bars.
It is advisable to install another door under the ash pan to control the draft.
You will need fire bricks to protect the walls. We lay them out from the inside.
For the chimney bricks, we install the structure as in the figure below.
The bricks are laid out on the kiln mortar. The composition of the oven mortar is 1 part clay to 2 parts sand, the mixture is mixed with a minimum amount of water until it reaches a very thick consistency.
The thickness of masonry joints should not exceed 5 mm.
To increase the heat transfer of the stove, you can install another barrel on top. You need to make a hole in the barrel for the chimney and weld a piece of pipe under the chimney.
Two barrel oven
One of the highest quality barrel stoves made with my own hands, based on the large capacities available to us. The stove for kindling wood consists of two barrels: one for 200 liters, the second for 100 liters. A certain novelty, which not everyone will think of, is the increase in heat transfer due to an additional container, the walls of which are heated by hot air rising up to the pipe. The fuel also burns out in the second barrel.
Pipe from of stainless steel made from truck exhaust. The pipe is specially made curved to increase heat transfer into the room.
Looking at the previous video, the thought arises: what if you use the second additional barrel as an oven? The next model implements just such an opportunity!
Three-barrel cooking oven
The oven for outdoor cooking is made up of three barrels. In the video you will see how bread is baked in one of these barrels.
We made a stove for burning garbage at the dacha
Another stove for burning leaves and firewood in the country, and at the same time you can cook food on it. This oven is much simpler than those described above, but ease of manufacture in some cases is simply necessary, and this is its advantage.
Eat big advantage burning garbage in a barrel. It's convenient and safe. A domestic 200 liter barrel was used for the stove. Its top is cut off by 16 cm. Firewood is placed and lit in the ash pit, and then leaves are thrown over the top. The author made a special bottom for the firebox from reinforcement and a hoop from a barrel. The bottom is placed on protrusions-corners in order to bring the fire from the wood closer to the top of the stove. A lid with a pipe is placed on top. You can cook food.
