    I was referring to using one of these indoors like a basement or shed. If that part's been taken care of, I may weigh building one as I previously stated I saw the potential in these.



    EDIT: Just subscribed to your vids and yeah, defiantly looks like the outside operation type setup. Not bad, but something a bit more contained to fit my fancy of operating indoors.

    I have a couple of Vids where I enclosed the burners in a metal drum. My setup wasn't exactly airtight because I do different things all the time and re use the drum and burners but they could easily be sealed up for indoor operation.
    Some people have also retro fitted wood burners that were designed for indoor operation. Just a matter of boring a hole through the side of the things and that's it. Get the hile neat and tight and you could seal it airtight with refractory cement or something like muffler putty even. If the hole was accurate I douby you'd have to do that because not tlike there is going to be any pressure in the heater, it would be going up the chiminey.

    You could also put a burner in a large old propane tank and make a heater out of that. Cut a door in the thing and use some stove chord on the door fot a seal and duct a flue out.
    Few different ways you could use these indoors. More dependent on the enclosure setup, the burner wouldn't care a bit! :0)
