I took one apart yesterday to change the barrel. It's just a 55 gallon barrel with a box around it and a fan. This one burned holes in the barrel from hot fires after 4 years of use. I can see where the potential exists for a broken barrel to cause a house fire especially if mounted close to the house.
For the money they could use much heavier materials and a real firebox. In the interest of fairness I think they should let people know its a glorified barrel stove kit assembled for you. Barrel stoves work great for a few years then burn up and fall apart. The steel the barrel is made of is not heavy enough to be a firebox. With firebricks, a grate, and keep it cleaned out it might last a bit longer but not much imho. Getting wet will let it rust apart much quicker. I'll take some pictures of the inside of it and post them if I can figure out how.
