Ive been asked by a few to show my steps on making my rig so hopefully others can learn from this. Mine is by no means perfect and everything I did didn't work out perfectly but this will give you a good idea of the direction you want to head.

Buy beer. You will need alot to finish this project. I prefer leinenkeugels! Find a barrel stove kit. I found this one at northerntool.com for like 50 bucks. Yes you can just cut a hole and add some hinges and Walla a door. I used the door from the kit because I'm fire bricking and adding a blower.

Attach the feet. If you do like I did and insulate the he'll out of it you probably could set this sucker on a wood frame as it barely gets warm on the outside. Make sure the door and legs are square and level. You don't want a wobbly stove or one with an un level door. You could try and do the feet first but mine has bolts and need the nuts attached so I crawled inside thru the door.

Cut a line down the center and then back down the front and back edge of where the pans will sit. I cut out the ribs so it was flat on the sides but honestly I wish I had cut sections off and rewelded them back on. I'll show an example of someone else doing that in another post at the end.

I picked up two of the full size 6" deep buffet pans online. Two of them fit well sideways with enough room for the stove pipe adapter in the back. I might move the pipe to the very backside wall of the stove someday so I have room for a preheater pan. The flue pipe adapter came with the stove kit. I bought 1" angle at farm and fleet to make the top edge for the pans to fit in. I believe they were 4' and 2 of them barely made enough to make a rectangle big enough for the pans to fit into. I got lucky.
