Cast iron and works well; makes a great smoke dragon.
No heat sapping EPA garbage here! The money saved can buy a great hearth, fire board, ladder, flue pipe, etc. Expect to spend $1,000+ on the extras to install any wood burner. You will need power tools to use this kit as intended; a cutoff grinder, sawzall, power drill, etc. Once it's all installed, you will have one powerful smoke dragon.This is my second order, the first one is in my greenhouse on a double barrel stove (pictured) and has been in use for two years-ish now. A double barrel puts out around 200,000 - 350,000 BTUs of heat when running full blast and that kind out output kept my plants alive during the historic freeze in Texas. Single digits is hard to push back against with single wall plastic but this kit will help you do it; expect to be filling your stove every four hours, day and night if or when those temps come around. Temps in mid 20s, low 30s and a barrel will maintain hot coals for 6-8+ hours; depending on the quantity and type of wood used.I highly recommend a piece of straight pipe with a 90 degree elbow so you can make use of the 2" plug on most 55 gallon barrels as an air inlet without embers popping out of it. A carbon monoxide detector is a must; they are around $5-10 and will last all winter (don't get it wet!). keeping several inches of sand in the bottom of your barrel should increase its usable service life by several years. Welding gloves should also be purchased with this kit and will really help you with refilling while the stove is burning.Keep kids and pets away from the stove, bolt it down if you can. When it's really cooking, you can't be within 3' of it without the heat starting to burn.It's my opinion that wood is the best primary heat source for greenhouse heating; it's low tech and simply works. Propane is the best backup heat source, fuel never expires and heaters are simple devices.

I have built multiple stoves some with a kit and some without. This kit is a great easy way to do so. I would definitely recommend this. I used it for building a maple syrup evaporator and it worked great. You can see the door in this pic I added some studs to adhere some fire blanket to the front.
