Wood Burning Stove -What type is this?

Hi guys, I live in Portugal and have been looking for a woodburning stove, normal cast iron stoves that I am familiar with (rectangular traditional fireplace design) are 800 euros. They have a type here called the salamander for 300 euros but I am not familiar with it at all. Is there a name in english for this type of wood stove so I can look it up.

Here is a picture.



Thanks for any help!

 

Cylinder stove.

It looks like a heater though.

 

Sorry thank you yes that is all I am looking for are heaters not stoves. Thanks for the name.

the cheapest type of wood burning heater/stove i know of is called either a hobo heater/stove or, a steel barrel heater/stove.
getting the industral size steel barrel cost nothing.
you can pick used ones up in the back of warehouses.

there is almost no cost in making one. the main thing is the time and labour involved.

here in the u.s.a. lehman's non electric general store sells a kit with plans, for the heater/stove for about $20.00 (u.s.a funds.)

i have made 3 of these heater/stoves.
they heat quite well and last quite a long time as well.:cheers2:

here is the link to lehmans below.
you can see an example of a steel barrel heater/stove there.

I ended up buying one like in my picture, it was the cheapest cast iron stove available. Ive seen some good articles and videos on the barrel stoves, but Im useless with fabricating things, and for my house this style of cast iron stove will fit perfectly. It arrives in 3 weeks.

 

Im surprised its for wood...most of the ones Ive seen like the picture were for coal...they had a crank and some things rotated on the bottom to shuffles the waste into an ash box

but maybe Im wrong or maybe that is a reproduction one made to look like the old coal ones

 

Im not sure BBAD, but here coal is not a normal fuel source, we've got wood, gas and pellet stoves available.

 

Nice stove. Looks like a wood/coal stove used in the early 1900's. They work best in the center of a room. It will take a little experimenting to get the feel of the different air intakes. A ceiling fan is good for spreading the heat. Most wood stoves made today are box type with a fan in the back and a air chamber that blows heat.

 

well the one you posted a picture of must use pellets then....until you stoke it will tooth picks because it sure isnt big enough to load wood into

 

Looks like a top loader so it might hold a fair amount of wood...probably made for small houses or just a few rooms

 

this interests me alot...i searched for an image and found this one that is made out of a big coffee can
