heres the drawing (sorry i'm not too artistic
its a metal 55 gallon drum
there is a metal baffle to increase efficiency and functionality
there is a door in the baffle so long piece could be worked
'L' bracket welded to side to hold pan (evaporator)
aprox 3" metal vent pipe on each side
bottom metal pipe to provide air from blower
i was gonna cut the lid aprox 4in into barrel and bend the ends up to be used as a lid/door when not in use
i do not plan to use both the forge and charcoal at the same time, but i may in the future.
evaporator is for maple sugar
my main question right now are with general design and what to line it with?
paint, insulation, refractory cement, brick, clay...
hope this helps for you guys to help me!
Thanks
