Here's mine. Ugly as hell right now but works pretty good. Its a cut down 500 gallon with a 125 gallon stuck in the side.

A few years ago while building.

Although mine does a good job of heating my house I gotta say that I would build it way different. I would lay the big tank down versus upright and use a lot bigger fire box. I've come to believe that more firebox area and less water is the key. (or should I say a better balance between gallons vs. sq. inches of firebox is the key)
Imagine trying to heat 20,000 gallons with a firebox the size of a shoe box for an analogy.
Plus if you will notice on mine the amount of firebox protruding outside the water jacket. (wasted heat)

I drew this up about a year ago and someday I may build it.

I would cut the tanks flat and weld 3/8" plate to the front for a flat surface for the doors. Working with all the round areas was a pain.

One problem I had doing research is that "OWB" is too short for the search function!

I made one a few years ago and started a thread on it called My Homemade OWB. I tried to add the link but am not having any luck. Maybe someone could help me out with doing it or tell me how.

Thanks, Shawn
