I have had my owb burner for 2 weeks now and to be honest it is working alot better than i expected and the fire is lasting longer than I expected! The first week I had it hooked up it didn't get above freezing all week here in Kentucky and I was putting 6 logs in it a day!! In the pic where the logs are about half burnt than load was 14hrs old that day. I'm sure there's gonna be lots of head shaking and finger pointing about all the things I did wrong but I'm happy with it and I'm into the (complete system) for $1400.00!!

Dimensions

dahmower,

Thanks for posting about your build.

What are your cylinder dimensions? What is this capacity of your stove?

Insulation? Spray foam or dow board?
 
The burn chamber is 36"x48"
Water chamber is 48"x60"
All the flat steel is 1/2"
Water capacity is 290 gal
Dayton fan. 325cfm
Harbor freight water pump 650/hr
I insulated it with (take and rake) insulation from Menards
It is approx 1ft thick all around the stove snow and frost sets on top of it So
I think it's insulated good enough
I used just regular pex a 1" tubing I insulated them with swimming noodles I found on clearance at Walmart .25 each !!
I have a 22x25 exchanger
10 plate for the domestic hot water
The water treatment was a eBay item
I shopped around and I ended up getting most of the items on eBay
