Leave the fuel oil in it and you will get a much hotter fire.

Troll- In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1]
I thought his topic was appropiate and on topic being this is a wood burning forum.
Though he's been here a long time there is little doubt he's trolling in his recently started threads.
He's asking about making a wood stove from a 275 gal oil tank. Most stoves are smaller than a 55 gal drum?
I can picture a 275 gal tank in someone's living room. lol...
Edit to add; I have a 250 gal gas tank behind my house. It's aprox 6 feet long and 3 feet diameter. Would make a hell of a wood stove!
Not to sound smart, but I doubt any of you guys have actually cut one of these oil tanks apart or have seen one cut apart. I know they are at least 1/8" thick or thicker. I've seen plenty of 55 gallon barrel stoves last for years in a garage shop and I know those barrels aren't has thick has a fuel oil tank. I think there are outdoor woodboiler plans sold by Deb that use a 275 gallon fuel oil tank for the firebox welded into a round tank about 4ft diameter.
