Back in my Country of origin 🇨🇺; my dad built one of those; He did it out of necessity, we had no fuel for our kitchen stove and since he is a carpenter, there was plenty of saw dust laying around!👍😃
My father made one in a 200l drum over 60 years ago, bought saw dust from a furniture maker workshop, and kept the whole house reasonably warm in a harsh winter.
I've seen vids where a short log is split into 4 pieces then held together in it's original form and lit in the center ! Your stove works on the same principle but, using sawdust ! Absolutely fantastic design ! Fabulous, just fabulous ! Slightly larger pieces could be randomly mixed in such as 3-4 inch twigs and would clean up the yard debris !
Thanks for the great movie. It was a time travel for me. My grandfather has constructed this kinf of unit and it was heating our home when I was a child. It was in early 70's, but I remember it like it was this morning. My grandfather filling the internal barrell with the sawdust in the outside, then carrying the heavy load back home... I was always looking at the warm light of the flames when I was falling asleep...
My dad made one of these with a small metal biscuit tin and a dowel down the centre in the early 60,s. We would take it to the beach to boil water for tea. As a child I was fascinated to see it work. I thought he was a magician
A friend of mine discovered this sawdust stove as a paratrooper in WW 2. He took measurements and tired for 40 years to replicate what he saw in Germany but never could. Thank you for sharing this.
Actually, Martyn, gunpowder is only explosive when contained in a sealed container, and ignited until the pressure bursts the container. And sawdust can be explosive, in the same way, if it's fine enough. The same for flour.
This would be fantastic topped with a water tank - it would serve the dual purpose of providing constant heated water, as well as serving as a heat sink which would absorb excess heat while the stove was firing, and disperse it after the fire was out to provide heat 24 hours a day.
It's true that water holds an enormous heat capacity. Perhaps a secondary barrel could be placed around the burn chamber with heat exchanger pipes coiled around it and leading to an insulated water tank. Then at night the tank could be diverted and pumped through a half matte-black coated copper pipe network underneath the floor to slowly radiate the heat upward.
I don't cut enough wood to generate enough sawdust, but I do gather tons of grass cuttings, if they were left to dry and then packed down tight would that work? Thanks.
Very interesting. When I was growing up in the late 1940's and 1950's, we lived in Kelso and Longview Washington. The Weyerhaeuser lumber company had one of the largest lumber mills in the world, at that time, in that area. This was before particle board or OSB or presto logs. Most of the homes in the Longview, Kelso area were heated with sawdust from the mill. We would receive a truck load of sawdust that would need to be put into the basement. The sawdust was usually delivered dry. You would need to go down into the basement and shovel it into the furnace hopper.
Relevant for the winter of 2023 in Europe especially. People were still likely paying for waste pickup not too long ago rather than using the energy embodied in the saw dust.
we used this type of heather in Afghanistan , we normally add water to moisten the saw dust , it will make it burn slower and longer and prevent it from collapsing as well....
@ElfNori Thanks for your comments. This stove has got a false floor and the damper is normally fitted to the flue, not the stove itself. The use of 2 flue outlets is of no benefit as the outer barrel transfers much less heat when using an outlet at the top.(we know we have built one). With parts and labour this stove would cost over £200 to build yourself here in the UK. Maybe steel and labour are cheaper in the US.
We used to use these on a mountain cottage during winter ski camps.. There was always a duty for older guys to prepare these for the whole building... damn it was fun.
Soooo you could make giant compressed paper or mixed stuff, leaves, wood chips, mold w center pipe to maintain opening, press & dry... for super long burns...I'm on it!!!
I grew up with a sawdust furnace. Spent a lot of time filling that furnace and getting sawdust into storage. Unfortunately, it became impossible to get good dry sawdust and folks started replacing their furnace with either oil or woodstoves.
I remember sawdust furnaces when I was a kid in Vancouver BC back in the late 50's....the whine of sawdust trucks pumping the sawdust into basement storage rooms....and the smell.....it was awesome. It caused a ton of air pollution though.....
MDF dust is surprisingly toxic, as are most of the fumes. Please be careful. I know that this is a very old post, but It's better to be informed than not.
The fuel for this stove cannot be added while it is burning. The rate of burn can only be controlled by adjusting the air supply. It will not burn efficiently with a restricted air supply.
I've never actually been in a room with one being used, but I have a feeling that it produces less heat than a wood burner of comparable size. My reasoning is that the fire being in the center is insulated by the sawdust to the outside. The only heat is coming from the bottom, top and the stove pipe.
The hot gases first hit the lid, then go down the inside of the outer barrel. So the entire barrel is being heated, before the exhaust goes out the bottom and into the chimney.
we used one of thease in our workshop 20 years ago. easy to make. centre drum needs to clear all around outside drum that includes the bottom 3 inch hole in bottom or whatever former pipe is. outside drum dust needs hole in bottm about 4 inch in centre with a sliding plate to regulate it flue comes out of the side of outer drum at the bottom then up and out of roof. no catchment try needed. to light it open plate and and light it simple
old concept that has always worked well. We dont have much sawdust here any more in the usa, as most the mills are closed. Solid wood stoves prevail as more and more ppl use them due to high energy bills and unemployment rises. Nice setup, hope you have plenty access to sawdust.
No kidding... we all need to start volunteering 15 minutes out of our days to making all technology open source, not just software... A tip of the hat to the patriot Cody Wilson on this one.
This stove vents to the chimney on the bottom. Don't try to make this and expect it to work w/o figuring that into your design. 1st off it wont work and 2nd it would be horrible to vent all the co2 into your shop. If you read some of the comments below, it seems like many people believe because this stove produces little to no smoke that it doesn't vent into a chimney. If you look again at the video there is a chimney pipe in the corner behind the stove. The design is much like a Rocket Mass Heater where the outer wall (when the lid is on) is where the combustable gas and flames travel back down and out the flue pipe which would connect at the bottom.
I went to the website mentioned in the description (because it says that these stoves are available there), and there is a link back to this video, but nothing else. Even if you search for "stove", or "sawdust", there are no search results. help?
Hey bud that is very unique.....great idea.. And i know in upstate ny its very easy to find dust, small woodchips etc....just find where department of highways are working because they cut, trim back the trees from around powerlines.....
more decades ago dust stove had been used in Tchechoslovakia - familiar system but a dust been loaded into capsules in size in this youtube and what more the stove had air input regulation which regulated heat. That stoves dependent on heat output could work between 7 till 14 hours !
exactamente en chile por alla en los años 80 mi papa y mi abuelo tenian una estufa igualita a esa, funcionaba de maravilla. para calentar la casa, cocinar, secar ropa. etc
Was very popular in Eastern Europe many decades ago as a cheap heating alternative in garage, barn, even homes. S one can buy new one dirt cheap or build yourself out off 55 g drum and one smaller
I actually purchased one just like this a while ago for the workshop. My problem is no matter how I try to pack the sawdust/shavings around the former, as soon as I gently try to remove the former from the middle, everything falls in and fills the hole. Any ideas people?
Seems to me that as the hole gets bigger, more fuel would be burning at a time, and it would get progressively hotter. By using a different shaped hole you might reduce this variation. There are solid-fuel rockets that use something like this to get evener thrust.
What's the average burnntime in an average load of dust? I like the looks of it, it has a simplicity that a lot of newer stoves/heaters are lacking today. the simpler these new things seem the more things they appear to have going in inside of them. nice design with this one...thanks for posting up.
Were you put the sand, couldn't you have a piece of steel plate cut round with a hole in the centre , it would stop the top from burning, and it would drop as the sawdust burns down, just a thought
The vent at the bottom is where the air gets in to burn the sawdust. Then the heat travels up to the lid, and down the inside of the outer barrel, before reaching the chimney at the bottom of the outer barrel. This extracts more heat from the exhaust gases before they go out the chimney.
Great stove if you have access to enough sawdust ,It would be good if it had a side feed shute to poke in wood offcuts in when it is lit and nearing the end of the burn and you want to keep going a bit longer.
I heard of pellet stoves but not saw dust. I'm intrigued! I like that it doesn't have smoke coming out of the stack. Does it burn for 24 hours or just the course of a working day, 8 to 12 hours?
Is the purpose of using saw dust so that you can compact it and it will stay in place leaving a hole in the center? If there was a metal cylindrical grid in the center could you use wood chips?
I would think that with the flame being in the center, the saw dust around it would act as insulation, causing most of the heat to be forced up and out of the chimney. It could possibly be made more efficient if there was a way to extract the heat escaping up the chimney pipe for distribution in the living space.
The heat doesn't go straight up into a chimney. The lid redirects the hot exhaust gases down the inside of the outer drum before exiting into the chimney at the bottom.
Tried making a smaller version. Trouble I'm having is the inner column burns and blackens, then goes out. The heat slowly burns the rest of the sawdust but produces great volumes of smoke. Not a nice pretty red heat like yours. I'm pretty sure the dust is dry enough, any suggestions? Thanks for the video. I'm not gonna ramble my opinions about benefits of sawdust or its role in sustainable future but thanks for the vid and good work.
Visible smoke.... It produces no visible smoke. You always need a chimeney when burning wood. Carbon monoxide goes up the chimeney. But you need an opening in the wall for fresh air to get into the room with the stove.
It's been a year. Did you do it? No. Because you realized that while it looks cool on YT, it's stupid as hell. Not practical. At best, it's a way to get rid of sawdust if you produce a lot of that. It's not something you would want to obtain sawdust to do.
The music in the beginning is from something I used to have on my computer YEARS ago. It was like a freeware Muzak thing. Does anyone know where it's from?
Super idea. I will make my own for this winter. But where does it draw inn air. Is it round the ash tray or? And what about the hole on the cover. Is't just all the smoke going up and out in the room?? At least in the start. Maybe this is the only inlet for air. Hope you can take time to clarify. Have a nice and warm 2013 winter. TR:
Would it work, or could it be devised to work with wood chips from a wood chipper? Tree services are always looking for spots to dump very large amounts of chips usually for free.
Yank needs help please... I have all the materials to put this together in my shop however, I'm not certain where on the outside barrel to place the exhaust flue.
This is too late for you, but if others are reading, put it down fairly low. You want the hot air coming up the inner cylinder, down the outer cylinder, and then exhausting. Maximizes the heating power of the stove. Look up designs for rocket stoves and you'll see something similar.
I would leave it loaded and ready to light just incase of emergencies, last thing you want to do is load that up and try to light it while you are suffering from hypothermia or frost bite, it would be doable but extremely difficult
Carbon monoxide wouldn't spread on the floor, it would spread evenly through the air. At the elevations people live at air is a pretty even mixture of a lot of gasses. If that weren't the case carbon dioxide would cover ground level, and there would never be any humidity because water vapor is much lighter than oxygen.
Probably by shutting off the air supply. As far as environmental temperature control, I imagine the solution would be to vent the heat, e.g. by cracking a window.
i would recomend this for any workshop. i have plans of building a small one to experimen. with this size container what size workshop could you comfortabley heat for teh eight hours.
Would use 2 or more smaller barrels running to the same stack and control how much heat verses waste better...Why have a long fire if a shorter one works for you?
Nice stove.... In Romania whi use this metod of heating since the '80s... Is the most eficient and cheep... 1 load is suficient for 12 hous not for only 8.…
Great video, simple, to the point with no extra BS. The frying pan at the end was a brilliant touch.

Be careful where your sawdust comes from, or you could be burning toxic chemicals such as those found in plywood, fiberboard, MDF, etc.
Thanks.This type of stove is not restricted to sawdust, try using very fine paper shreddings from a high security paper shredder.
great. now everyone around me thinks i'm watching 90's porn.
Man, that Margo Sullivan is a sweet piece!
Man, that was when porn was gold.
You said to use "any fine dry combustible material". I tried some extra gunpowder I had laying around. My eyebrows still haven't grown back.
+SgtPiggie thumbs up
There is a difference between explosive and combustible
Actually, Martyn, gunpowder is only explosive when contained in a sealed container, and ignited until the pressure bursts the container. And sawdust can be explosive, in the same way, if it's fine enough. The same for flour.
Well at least your arms, hands and fingers grew back.

SpookyJohnathan how would you fill it with saw dust?
larger tank filled with water surrounding inner stove
Please, explain further
It's true that water holds an enormous heat capacity. Perhaps a secondary barrel could be placed around the burn chamber with heat exchanger pipes coiled around it and leading to an insulated water tank. Then at night the tank could be diverted and pumped through a half matte-black coated copper pipe network underneath the floor to slowly radiate the heat upward.

Very interesting! I've designed and built my own woodburners for years but have never seen anything like this
Reminds me of the oxygen candles submariners burn.

Did you just make a relatively slow burning rocket motor/stove?
did you just design a rocket that runs on sawdust o.o

Hola sabes cuanto dura encendida con esa carga?
You forgot to saturate it in gasoline before using it as an indoor heater, making sure to keep ventilation to a minimum for maximum efficiency
Actually, if it was damp, it would probably last a lot longer. Unfortunately, it's a one time use. Can't refuel it once lit. Good idea, though.
How does the air for combustion get into the barrel?
Thru the ash drawer.
Plot twist: it only works if there is gentle guitar music playing.

Mr Sam, can you use shredded tires in stead of sawdust?
Tires burn much hotter and dirtier than wood. The results would not be good.

Never seen one dude but what a great idea as most mills throw sawdust away 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
I heard of pellet stoves but not saw dust. I'm intrigued! I like that it doesn't have smoke coming out of the stack. Does it burn for 24 hours or just the course of a working day, 8 to 12 hours?
Growing up ( I'm from Philippines)we cook our food this way too using smaller can tho not a barrel size. .
Does it matter if it's sawdust from abricht or something?
How does the ash tray function, & how hot does the stove get ?
Is the purpose of using saw dust so that you can compact it and it will stay in place leaving a hole in the center? If there was a metal cylindrical grid in the center could you use wood chips?
How many kilo of sawdust you can used for 8 hours
I would think that with the flame being in the center, the saw dust around it would act as insulation, causing most of the heat to be forced up and out of the chimney. It could possibly be made more efficient if there was a way to extract the heat escaping up the chimney pipe for distribution in the living space.
The heat doesn't go straight up into a chimney. The lid redirects the hot exhaust gases down the inside of the outer drum before exiting into the chimney at the bottom.
Nice and efficient. I might experiment and make one of these with my everlast welder
works like a rocket stove
No, as their is no long combustion chamber after the fuel.

yes this is wooden dust stove many years we cook food like this but today I miss my child wood memories
Curious what the bottom inside looks like...
I always heard that every one has a twin. Lol! We look identical!
I like this. Never seen this design before wow and thanks
So, why do people put heat sources in the corner? Wouldn't it be better to place it in the center of the room with grates around it?
This the the 3am video I was looking for
Would it work, or could it be devised to work with wood chips from a wood chipper? Tree services are always looking for spots to dump very large amounts of chips usually for free.
How low down is the chimney outlet

How is this stove vented? I tried to follow your link but only thing that link sells is hardwood.
The ash pan/starting tray. Adjust it in or out for air flow/dampering.
Sor how is that stove vented? Do you happen to have a build video for that burner? It is a very clever and yet somple design. I appreciate the video!😁
Try searching Fulgora sawdust stove, you should find some schematics.
Carbon monoxide wouldn't spread on the floor, it would spread evenly through the air. At the elevations people live at air is a pretty even mixture of a lot of gasses. If that weren't the case carbon dioxide would cover ground level, and there would never be any humidity because water vapor is much lighter than oxygen.
What if you get too much heat and need to stop it? Can you?
Probably by shutting off the air supply.
As far as environmental temperature control, I imagine the solution would be to vent the heat, e.g. by cracking a window.
It is Indian rice husk and sawdust stove used 1000 year back and also we use this model mud stove in our tribal people
i would recomend this for any workshop. i have plans of building a small one to experimen.
with this size container what size workshop could you comfortabley heat for teh eight hours.

Wow m8 really cool design and might pick one of these up wow really good vid :)
I don't see were the chimney is?
Instead of the sand, why not have a metal plate that would also double as a compressor when filling it?

Could you use wood pellets
Nice stove.... In Romania whi use this metod of heating since the '80s... Is the most eficient and cheep... 1 load is suficient for 12 hous not for only 8.…
