    Default Brake Drum Potbelly Shed Heater


    G’day thought I’d share my brake drum potbelly heater I built over the last few weeks and have just installed in my shed this weekend. It goes pretty hard it was 3°C outside the shed and 27°C inside, with the flue mostly choked.

    Also wrote a bit of a how to blog if any one was interested. https://doilygrunge.weebly.com/blog/...otbelly-heater

This is my first project with steel so I'm abit confused thanks heaps

    G’day mate the middle ring just sits over the lip of the brake drums. Check out Brake Drum Potbelly Heater: 13 Steps (with Pictures) I’ve got a bit more info and pictures on there. Hope this helps.

    When you end up making one I’d love to see a picture.
