The construction of a truck brake drum wood heater is relatively straightforward. Typically, it consists of a wood-burning stove or a specially designed heating element that is strategically placed near the brake drum assembly. The heat generated from the burning wood or electrical element radiates into the brake drum, preventing frost formation and keeping the brakes in prime condition. Additionally, some designs are equipped with adjustable settings, allowing operators to regulate the temperature based on local weather conditions.

Using the caliper or micrometer, measure the inner diameter of the brake drum. If the drum displays a lip or ridge from wear, ensure your measurement captures the least-worn area. A typical brake drum has a specified maximum permissible diameter, which can be found in the vehicle’s service manual. This measurement is critical; if the drum exceeds its maximum diameter due to wear, it may need to be replaced.
