Last wood stove we had, we welded it up ourselves out of 1/4 inch plate steel. It was a monster - weighed about 300 pounds before we put the fire-bricks in. Could burn either wood or coal in it. I designed it with baffle plates staggered at the top to slow the heat down going up the chimney, and keep more heat in the house instead of sending it straight up the flue. It'd run you out of the house in the dead of winter if you weren't careful with the fire to keep it small.
If we could build one then, we can build one now. Piss on those dipshits and their "regulations".
