Thought I was seeing a meat smoker but nope! This guy has a better idea, give himself and his neighbors cancer! Genius!

im happy to see you making your contribution to the air pollution keep up the good work your kids will thank you

I'm sure the neighbors just love you

Burning plastic and any kind of garbage are prohibited in our country as a way to lessen the toxic chemical in the atmosphere...nice to see your video...

Burn barrel Wow, whoda thought. You put a lot of energy and time into it but showed your true IQ when the plastic went in. Recycling is a very easy and responsible practice.

Great! You're burning plastic! Genius!

Great call on the plaid shorts and camo shirt! I'm profoundly color blind and it even hurts my eyes! I love dudes like me that don't give one crap about fashion or what anyone thinks! Kudos!

Im suprised he didnt disable the comment section for a video like this. Thumbs up for his bravery.

Looks nice. Suggestion get the barrel red/ hot good fire , then add plastic to achieve vaporization and clean burn. I have 3 large cutouts on Bottom side , lots air flow.

This guy has rocks in his head.

Thats it....burn all that plastic...great for the lungs and everything else!

Your neighbors must hate you. I know the feeling. My neighbors hate me. I love your work.

Two hours of torment, two hours of cleaning up... then we point the chimney toward the neighbours! LOL

Great way to safely burn lawn debris and clean building material scrap (natural framing scraps). Keeps the fly away embers from burning the forest down..

Bravo la gestion des déchets ...

nice to see people making stuff which serves a purpose out of junk just lying around, and good to see that when you are doing so you were wearing full PPE equipment, tee shirt , shorts and of course steel toe cap flipflops, an accident waiting to happen when you are using angle grinders for cutting steel oil drums and welding them up , still made a good job of it well done

End your stove pipe right at the top of the barrel where it connects do not extend it into the barrel and it will burn much more efficiently. Make a 3 inch tall collar out of a piece of pipe one size up from your stove pipe diameter that the stove pipe can snugly fit in and weld it on top of the barrel where you would insert the stove pipe. drill three holes around the collar equal distance around for sheet metal screws (In case you want to take the chimney down later for storage). Weld a steel lip or some kind of other seal around the top door and put high temp woodstove gasket on it for better air seal you are losing vac-cum here for the chimney draw. ( you dont have to do this on the bottom door but its a good idea with air flow valves). If you can extend the stove pipe another four feet in height it will greatly improve your chimney draw and burn very hot and fast and efficient. i love your design and was going to build one for myself before I ran across yours. I LOVE THE PORTABLE IDEA...VERY SMART and since its not connected to the house like the old barrel stove/incinerator I used to have no pesky inspections from the city. you have a buoyancy problem with the pipe a foot into the barrel and the air leakage in the top door and for more suction power you should have four more feet of stove pipe. the power of the draw is determined by the height of the chimney. I was in the chimney trades for 20 years and worked on and built a lot of barrel stoves thats how I know this. Do this and it will purr like a jet engine. Put air flow control valves on the bottom door and ,make it air tight and you can control how fast it will burn and easily shut it down if it gets to hot. Again I REALLY love your design and I'm going to make one for myself. thank you for the video -- Wayne

I would get a rather hefty fine if i were caught burning plastic bottles , contaminated wood or any other building materials by the local council. Your idea was great and the video was also good ! Unfortunately the end wasn’t very climate friendly

Thanks from Slam Bang fishing lodge west coast of Vancouver island Kyuquot sound we specialize in good times

I think this is a great idea. I'm in Ohio and the laws on outdoor open burning are extremely strict. Even burning in an open barrel is very strict and they have strict guidelines on how it must be built! But if you use a wood burning stove such as this outdoors, the laws are extremely relaxed. I might make a version of this but on a larger scale. Burning plastic is a no, no so if your going to do it, don't tell or show it on a video.

Burn barrels have been outlawed in most areas for many years but the biggest problem is because they very thin and along with heat and moisture they have a short life and when they collapse you have a mess to clean up. A motor and brick fire place would be much better. Nice video.

That’s very fancy! The last time I had to do something like that I was in the US Army and we were in Denmark during an exercise in 1985. We didn’t have a stove for our tent because apparently it went “missing” somehow. It was winter and extremely cold with tons of snow. So we went to the trash pile and got a barrel like yours and took an axe to it because we didn’t have the right tools. So we cut a hole in the top for the pipe and one in the bottom like you did but no hinges, just pulled away the sheet metal like a door and stuck wood in it. It worked great, except we forgot to clean out the oil that was left and it burned! It smelled bad and there was lots of smoke in our tent but at least we stayed warm. We used wood that we found in the trash pile and branches that had fallen from tress because we weren’t allowed to actually cut wood from the trees. Good times!

Your neighbours must love you

WOW! You Made a Burn Barrel? Damn, Like No One has Ever Had that idea...

As a former welding teacher I tell you never ground of cut on a used barrel until you have filled it completely to the top with water. This is to expel any flammable vapors that might been in the barrel. Second you should never cut on a barrel with the caps in place. If the barrel does explode there is no blast energy to go but in your face.

it's a good idea to remove bungs from drum before you start to grind for safety. and think of your neighbour when burn rubbish the smoke may enter their house because they maybe uphill or onto their clothes on the clothes line.

Your neighbours must love you spewing burning plastic fumes over the fence.

Great to see you burning plastics

... I made a trash burner from an older barrel using just a maul and a hatchet when I was twelve , hate to throw water on your wknd project but I did it in 1/2hr

How about a removable screen or Mesh Cover at the top so hot embers in Sparks don’t get airborne and fly To the neighbors grass or yard and start a fire

My fav tool-the angle grinder. Great idea with attaching the hinges and gate catch BEFORE cutting is complete-im way to thick to think of that. Great job

The scent of your burning garbage wouldn’t be annoying to the neighbours at all, would it? Very considerate of you. But otherwise, thanks for the inspiration to build a really useful smoker!

Would have been better as a meat smoker.

Always start these type of videos from the end.

I always scroll ahead on all of these videos. The only thing that I care about is what the hell is it. I really don't care about how it's made.

Outlawed in Los Angeles 70 years ago...

I love watching Seppos doing stuff like this...especially when they're wearing their Japanese safety boots!

Damn bro, you wasted 11 minutes of my time. Why not give the plastics to the recyclers so it can be reused. Don't burn it!

Here in Georgia, we just take an old barrel and cut the top out. Then take a hatchet and knock some gashes in the side and set it on some bricks. Paper, cardboard or wood and burn it up. No plastic though.

One great POLLUTER NEVER BURN PLASTIC. RECYCLE Dude.

When you fit the hinges, do not just use sight to align them. Rivet the middle hole of the hinge on one side for both hinges, use your steel ruler to align the edges then rivet the other side of each hinge. After you have the hinges aligned and secured, proceed to rivet all holes. All the comments on pollution and safety in re-using drums also apply.

The final part of his video left me stunned! I'd say he had everything but a good idea ... I recently joined his channel intrigued by his previous project, so I am amazed at the irresponsibility with which he used and thinks of using this bin transformed into a furnace: even burning plastic waste without any filter !!! I also know - and I am certainly not an expert - that the combustion of plastics releases highly toxic and harmful fumes into the atmosphere, containing, for example, a very dangerous substance for humans such as dioxin. I hope that in the future he will use his latest creation to limit himself to burning only waste from woodworking (which is already a polluting and totally inappropriate practice if it does not have at least the heating of homes as an end), otherwise his conduct could only be defined that criminal !!!

This is very helpful for people to grab a old barrel and just cut into it, old barrels that have had oil in them become explosive when sparks enter them and could kill people. Maybe put a disclaimer in that you have no regard for your safety but if you are going to attempt this to remove the oxygen from the barrel first. Run some exhaust into the barrel until the barrel is warm to touch before cutting into it. Rinsing it out does not get the flammable material from the seems. Remember folks people put all kinds of stuff in barrels so besafe cutting into them no one needs to get hurt or killed.

Great metal fabrication work on the doors and grill - lid and vent is a great idea

Just a few adjustments and you could use it as a smoker - great for chicken, turkey and a host of other great recipes - little charcoal and some apple wood! And to follow others below in burning any poly and most inks it is a huge link to most cancer

The EPA man needs to pay you and that barrel a visit

Just the barrel ...no lid...no wheels ... no bottom vent ...will burn everything better because it reduces the garbage from the top down rather than burning ferociously from the bottom up. Easy peasy .

Wow! 11 minute vid with 5 rounds of ads. How did a video with nearly 50% thumbs down make it into my recommended. I swear YT is going down the toilet.

Way to much work. Cut the top off . Shoot 12 or 14 rounds of 45 through the barrel for air & use & old grill grate on top to hold debris in. Also , wouldn't burn the plastic , pisses the neighbors off.

A very good invention... For Polluting the air! 🔥😷

I bet your neighbors loved environment friendly smell of burning plastic!

You're burning plastics in that? I bet your neighbors love you. Lol

I'll stick with the old cutting the top off and poking a few hole at the bottom of the barrel to let the air in. Oh, if you live in the UK, you would never get away with burning plastics. It's completely illegal here and face fines.

It was plastic day so it's cool. My city you can burn plastic on Tuesdays. The second Thursday of every month is tire day, the kids love that day for making Smores!

Basically it's an incinerator. I made one with a lot less work. I did make a grate at the bottom about 4" high and some vent hole around the sides at the bottom and that's it. Works great. Once the fire starts going it almost like an engine. You can see the air current in the flames. Air coming in from the bottom through the barrel and out the top. I do burn paper products and cardboard but don't get busted burning plastics and pressure treated wood.

Cut the barrel in half and make a BBQ grill. Clean the barrel after cutting in half.

Dang... I sure thought the cool idea was making it a smoker for some good, self smoked grub. Instead it's adding to a problem. Great design, not so much on purpose. That being said , you seem quite skilled my friend.

too be honest i thought he was making a barbie or a smoker. really deflated

Great he is inventing things for when there will be no population on the surface of the earth.keep it up we need you.

Very good ideas for the transformer barrel in the incinerator and good job , champion of the job. Tank you very much.

What the heck is the pipe even for smoke just comes out all over

I enjoyed your video and a good use of an old oil drum. I made one very simular and I came upon a problem. The alley rivets melt, I had to drill them out and replace with nuts and bolts. Rivets are good but not near heat. 👍

Here's hoping your neighbors see this and seek revenge for your poisoning their air

The Wheelie Bin and Garbage Truck were amazing inventions.

The grate at the bottom with a door to remove ash is a very cool idea. In my country we are supposed to take our burn barrels to the county dump and pay to empty then. Not an easy task if you don't own a truck. I wouldn't burn plastics in the barrel because they emit some pretty nasty chemicals into the environment but for paper and wood this would be very handy.

Glad I don't live next to YOU, Stinkola!!!

Are you F'n kidding me!!?? Now I know why there is a hole in the Ozone, this guy is our man!

Not sure what to say, glad to see your planet friendly.

I fast forward and thought great! He's making a smoker! Oh a trash barrel, never mind.

I love the smell of burning plastic in the morning. Smells like…victory.

People have been using 45 gallon drums to burn wood and rubbish since drums were invented in 1922

Plastic burning is a no no, for toxic reasons.

I appreciate his idea and great effort. However, to burn plastic should not be in order for obvious reason. Thanks from Thailand. ❤🌳🇹🇭

Best neighbor ever!

Neighbors must love that thing?

Wow! A burn barrel. I'm sure no one has ever thought of that before 🙄

Are you crazy burning plastic ? You have no idea ! Unbelievable

and all this time I thought you were building a BBQ pit. lol

gretta would be thrilled

Amigo, you just demonstrated in one video how to expose your body to dangerous tools by no wearing the most basic equipment to protect yourself. On top of that, you just gave us a lesson on "How no to handle garbage". I'm pretty sure your neghbours are the ones who dislike your video. Greetings from Toronto.

i thought he was going to build something USEFUL .....like a STILL .....for making WHISKEY !!!

You should have titled this, "You could have a blast, making a stove out of a 55 gallon drum.

Graveyards are full of blokes that cut into 44gallon drums without cleaning or filling with water first, Fucken crazy. Holy shit didn't know we could still burn rubbish and plastic, haha

I really liked the red barrel before he hacked it up.

Awesome. I need to build one for my backyard.

I took the lid off of my drum and started burning trash. Nice and simple

Nice welding gear!!...lol

I wonder if anyone noticed him burning plastic?

I want to see a vid of when the EPA pays him a visit.

neighbor looove the plastic fumes

You did a great job of making the burn barrel .

Empty barrels can explode when cut, clean thouroughly!

Even for burning wood it needs much more air so there will be no smoke. If possible use the drum to preheat the air before introduction into the burn chamber. Paper, cardboard or wood only to limit pollutants.

Great job and very creative. Makes me wish I were your neighbor!👍🏻🇺🇲

Check with your local fire department because burning garbage or trash is banned in many places. Even burning lumber or cardboard is prohibited where I am. Burning plastics is absolutely forbidden.

8:17 how did that masonry bit work for you on that mild steel? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I thought that this is meat smoker. It would be much, much better If you recycled that plastic trash! The smoke from that fire is just as bad as not recycled plastic!

Back in 1952 my mom and dad bought a new house in Ontario California, All the houses in the housing division had a concrete incinerator for burning trash in the back yard. They were deemed illegal in the early 60's due to pollution. I take it they are not too concerned about air quality where you live.

The barrel if it had contained oil, it must be absolutely clean OR filled with water up to just below where you are going to be grinding and making sparks, leaving as little air space as possible. ANY oil vapor in the large barrel area can be ignited by the heat and sparks of grinding and explode VERY powerfully.

wtf!, a person of this engineering skill should know not to burn that stuff. Where is your head boy?
