Wood Stoves Made From Hot Water Heater Tanks
I've been making wood stoves out of worn out hot water heater tanks for 15 years. Most come from homes but I've had some large ones from hospitals and hotels. Pictured is an 18-in. dia. stove with a 17-in. dia. tank on top for a heat exchanger. Some of the stoves have half tanks for a heat ex-changer. I also make singl

Wood Stoves Made from Hot Water Heater Tanks WOOD STOVES/FURNACES Wood Stoves/Furnaces (20L) 16-5-31 I've been making wood stoves out of worn out hot water heater tanks for 15 years. Most come from homes but I've had some large ones from hospitals and hotels. Pictured is an 18-in. dia. stove with a 17-in. dia. tank on top for a heat exchanger. Some of the stoves have half tanks for a heat ex-changer. I also make single stoves for garages and other such uses. Legs are made from 1 /8 by 1 by 24-in. metal strips, bent and welded to the stove (stoves stand 10 in. off the ground). The 91/2-in. sq. door is 1 /8 by 1-in. angle iron covered with 10 or 12-ga. sheet metal and fitted into an angle iron frame (1 1 in. sq.) welded to the stove. A 2 by 3-in. draft control welds near the bottom of door. Hinges, latches and other parts are made in my shop. I've made 200 of these so far with no complaints. I sell the 18-in. dia. stove with a heat exchanger for $110. A 16-in. stove sells for $95. (R.W. Pomeroy, Box 677, Carrot River, Sask. Canada SOE OL0)
