I've since made the mk2 which is hugely improved using a lot of stainless steel to line it so it will last a long time and the burn chamber is enclosed with a lid on top and glass in the front with an air wash system to keep it clean. I've posted a picture on Pinterest if you want to see it, I need to get a video done as well. Many thanks for your compliments as well.
That is pretty much genius, using the gas containers. Can You please share the math behind it aswell? I will need to weld up a rocket stove for my new forge and this seems to be pretty close to what I like.
The liner is 2mm thick stainless steel with an extra piece wrapped around the lower part where the burn is hottest. I intend to fabricate an ash pan from 2mm stainless that will fit snuggly into the burn chamber, which will aid ash removal and if it does burn out over time it can be replaced much easier than the main liner. I haven't used any vermiculite/perlite insulation in the J tube as I couldn't see the need for it, the clay has achieved the result required and stores heat for hours after the fire has gone out.
Nice stove and very good idea attaching an oven. One word of concern. You referred at min 1:49 That you used "quarry waste like a clay" material to insulate the firebox, right? Well, if this material came from a quarry of limestone, you may have created conditions similar to a lime kiln and you may be producing quicklime! You know that quicklime is very reactive and corrosive and releases a lot of energy when mixed with water, right?
That was the first stove I made so more of a prototype really, it currently lies redundant in the yard. I've since fabricated something more superior, and bigger, that heats our super insulated house. I'm not sure if I've put a video up of it yet.
@@mattjbelfield66 Your design peeked my curiosity,, especially as I'm a Designer/Draftsman by trade. I'm designing a Rocket Stove/Heater for the home we are building out in the country. Yours has some very interesting aspects to it. Looking forwards to your new iteration. :)
The clay didn't come from a limestone quarry and was tested under heat before it went in. Once all the moisture was released it then baked hard like a brick.
Great job. I like the design.
Why I've never come across this video is a mystery to me. I am so impressed with the build design and overall look well done m8!

How long do you think the liner will last? Did you use per-light or any kind of insulation around the riser tube or the burn chamber?

Any plans for this stove? Would love to give it a go

outstanding!
8 years later i have to ask how has the stove held up?
It wasn't quite what we wanted so I made a better one and this one is stored outside under a tarp. Not sure what I'll do with it though.
