    Dear Paul, I am so sorry that you lost your friend, Wayne. That hole in your heart and soul will be a longtime healing. I've truly enjoyed your amazing brain & all your wonderful creations you so generously share with us.
    After watching you make your mini rocket stove, I was wondering...if you make a sleeve of hardware cloth the height of the main chimney/burner part, but the width of the side feeder part, so that it would fit inside where you put your wood scraps in...could that help keep the fire going longer, by filling the sleeve with wood scraps so they automatically drop into the fire? That way you wouldn't have to keep feeding more fuel into the main chimney while you are cooking, but w/o blocking the airflow to the fire. When you're finished using your stove you could just slip the sleeve down the main chimney for storage until your next fire.
    Just an idea I thought of while watching you create your stove. Thank you for your videos, your imagination helps me get thinking more creatively.

    • @paulwelkinsdiy

    My condolences on the loss of your friend, thanks for sharing that sweet memory. I love rocket stoves, such a simple and efficient way to cook outdoors. I built one out of bricks. It lives a few steps from my kitchen door and I especially love using it to make breakfast--coffee, bacon and eggs--smell and feels as if I'm camping. For fuel I use the twigs and smallish dead branches that my maple trees so abundantly provide me. I wonder if you could have cut that front piece in half lengthwise, so remove the top but leave the bottom as a shelf on which to rest the wood. Still a feeder but "open air."

    I wonder if the rocket stove would work better if the feed chute was closer to horizontal than 45 degrees. Perhaps 60 degrees from vertical, then it wouldn't act as much like a second potential chimney.

    When I built my cross draft ammo box burn chamber,
    utilized the lid as a door, to load, regulate air(hinged cut out under grate level)
    I made a 22 gauge hammered steel diaphragm(dished it to make it springy)in place of the rubber seal/steel retainer groove, covered all but hinged air door port.
    Fastened to door
    OPPOSING top corner for exhaust.
    Stack with a LITTLE restriction and LENGTH helps flame action
    Your stack can get smaller the longer it is,
    I like to use inlet to regulate rate vs. exhaust damper, much cleaner.
    The better sealed & insulated , the greater the control & burn efficiency.
    Easy to also make stainless burn chamber with thin stainless sheet from discarded appliances
    First joint or length of exhaust stack, stainless & Insulate as well..,
    If you have sewer tile or better yet, it and/or clay soil you can make a fine stationary stove.
    Built that from old home site trash collection broken crocks, cans, & dug clay layer plus tin scraps for stove cone.
    You rocket needs an auxiliary vent floor under the wood feed tube, about 1/5 cross section, all the way.

    So sorry for your loss Paul, Wayne seems like he'll be dearly missed by those who knew him. I've played around with rocket stoves some and I've found that the smaller they are, the more finicky they become. It's just too hard to get the right balance of air flow and fuel when you're dealing with such a small opening. I wonder if there's other ways to increase the inner diameter without gaining too much weight/bulk. Maybe thinner walled tubing, rectangular tubing in strategic areas, takedown construction, skeletonized parts, etc. might be something to explore.

    @maxboonkittypoison 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really like you are trying to improve. I hope I don't offend you if I may make a few suggestions: This is no rocket stove to my honest opion. That is because the whole bottom is open. It needs one open inlet. And the screen for the ashes you can make it in a triangle shape pointing upwards so the ashes wont block the inflow of air. The air inlet needs to be way smaller then the exit. That wil creeate a natural airflow. Wat i usualy do is to dig a little hole in the ground as big as my hand. And then a half size hole to the bottom of the first hole. That is a proper earth rocketstove. And you don't need to bring it on you or in your backpack. Just put something over the hole to put your cooking pot on and you are all set. It doesn't come cheaper :D
    I whas also trying to think of a way to heat my Bicycle caravan. I dont want to use fuel that i wil have to buy. Because it cost an arm and a leg and mebe a couple of extra fingers in the near future.
    I know you have done a couple of experiments in the past with candles and so on but the prizes are going up for candles too.
    Greetings,, Kitty.

    The one at 3:38 the chimney is too short for the air and fuel feed chute the one in the thumbnail is excellent 👍👌 just a bit small but still okay 👍👌 sweetheart 💕!!!!
    The taller the chimney the more draft there for creating that tell tail rocket sound hence the name rocket stove you can have a large feed for fuel and air but make the chimney tall enough so you don't have to bend over or sit during use making it easier on the back 🙇 and making it more fuel efficient!!!! Just of course make a three foot 🦶👣 stabilizer rather than four point stand for anti rocking back and forth!!! In other words three legged with longer bolt's for a bigger foot print 👣🐾 for stability!!!!the chimney can be two inch square and about three feet tall and have a large fire box say for instance 8×8" square fire box tapering up to two inche to create that rocket sound!!!!
