It would be interesting to see what one could do with an auger feeding wood pellets off of a thermal switch... It seems an automatic feed wouldn't be too hard to set up. Fun to play with. See how long an unattended burn time could last. That should be the goal... (I'm just thinking to myself here...)
Nice work! I really like your videos and your careful designs. One thing to be cautious of, is the use of galvanized metal in any part of the stove that are hot. The gas that it emits is toxic so be careful.
I've never built these before. Very intrigued. I get the cooking application, that's obvious enough, but how does it work if you also want it as a reflector or radiator. I'm thinking about making something that we can use to heat an outdoor area in the winter. Like a campfire application without the excessive burning. Any advice?
@av3K1 Hi. I would extend the chimney up to 2 meters and fix a mesh cage around it. Leave a gap between the mesh and the chimney of about 200mm. Thanks, Gabriel.
@bs4872 nice mate, im 14 and want to make one but how would i make i dont have alot of stuff or access to a welder or blowtorch to attach the metal, plz get back to me:)
Rocket stoves operates roughly twice as efficiently, and substantially more cleanly, than the open fire cooking methods still used in many areas of the world but the efficiency of R. S. vary quite a lot.
What you've got is a J-tube, which is the basis for a Rocket Mass Heater (RMH). You can Google that phrase to find out more, or you can check out the Alternative Energy forum over at permies com.
Try putting a plate about 2 inches from the back part of the burn box, from the top to just above the top of the tube. Put your fuel in front of this plate. This will create an air channel to improve your air flow.
Had to come back and thank you for the inspiration and ideas , I'm almost finished with my second proto it's bigger and better too I call it a multi stove... rocket drop feed potbelly ? if you get the time could you check out my video, I would like to hear what you think about its design. under the name " Rocket Stove_drop feed_potbelly_ combo " thanks again for your time
@usualy1000Hi. It burned for about 20 min as I used small well dried pieces of wood but if you use bigger wood will burn for longer. Or just increase the size of the burn box?
Do not increase the size of the box. Take a log of wood about 30 cm long and cut it vertically into small sticks measuring about 3 x 3 cm and arrange them nicely vertically through the surface of the box and then measure the time of burning.
@cdimmm The chimney is 4 inches but if is to make this design again I will use 5 inches, to help with the draft from the large burn box. Or perhaps 6 inches ? If you make one, let me know how it goes. Thanks.
@bs4872 Wow that works pretty good for 4" pipe. I am looking to make a large cook stove from a 55 gallon drum, i think i will use 6" if i can find it.. Thank you
@bs4872 are these better than wood stoves?? couldnt it be dangerous if the monoxides go out into the house?? its cool. would it make the wood last longer or shorter?? thanks
Thanks, Gabriel for sharing this I love the idea of the drop feed for the wood.
will the feed box be outside the insulated area or inside? and I seen a little ash floating around doe's the air flow push the ash out of the system ?
I have thought of this method but I'm concerned about ash plugging up air intake I'm wondering if a screen and a small chamber just under the fire surface would help keep ash out of the way . I thank you for time.
@wackerthecracker Hi. There is 60mm tall gril. The gril is level with the elbow. I have made now other design - I will post the cad drawings - I think that a larger tube on top of the chimney will be enough as insulation, as long as the air between have no way of escaping. Just like a flask.

as the wood in the loading room starts burning up, the flame in the chimney is going off = failure design.

Is it possible to put a bend on the top so as to inject the flame in through a hole in the side of a brick pizza oven?

@jmtutorialz Hi, you can use refractory bricks and fire cement and it will burn hotter than steel made ones.
