Built mine using a 400 gal., electrical transformer for the tank. Firebox is 30"diax 1/2" underground compressed gasline stub. Chimney stack- 1/2"x9" pipe. Handle is made from a leaf spring for tension on the door. All from the scrap yard. Got 300 feet of Pex off ebay for $150 shipped. Circulating pump $80-$90, aquastat, same price. It's great if you have wood access, firewood has gone up alot. I burn alot of trash and scrap in it too. I built a shed around it for now. Still plan to frame it up and insulate it with foam. I've seen guys have foam done for $400 or so.
