Where do you find a small barrel like that? What was its original purpose, size in gallons, dimensions, etc...
I am new to all this, but if the barrel gets to 800 degrees, is that not dangerous/skin melting/scary to have in your house?
I am really trying to convince my wife if an installation like this, so I am curious, and we have small children.
What kind of mortar did you use for the bricks that was temporary?
Overall it is a really nice looking design.
You mention not being able to have a lot of horizontal ducting, is that mostly due to your size constraints? Or due to the 6" pipe used?
