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!👍😃
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.
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
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 !
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.
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!!!
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.
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...
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.
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....
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?
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.
Barnaby ap Robert there are so many places you can get free sawdust! I used to get it when working on a farm and it done the business owner a favour by shovelling away sawdust that they would have to get rid of anyway
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?
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
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?
Why does everyone that posts these on TH-cam use music? And not only music but the most crappy music they can possibly locate? Why not post the actual sounds of the work? THAT is much more entertaining and factual.
I don't think its primary use is for cooking. Cooking is just something else you can do..cook your brekky or dinner! I have art studio and this would work rather well!
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.
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.
@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.
A si esta estufa o calentador es antiguo con aserin umedo lo malo es que no calienta mucho dura bastante el aserin dos cargas en toda la noche yo tube uno
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.
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.
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.
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
Hey, What a grate idea, But why the music in the back ground make it hard concentrate on what is being said or seen, Still it was a interesting video. Thanks. Al
How...is it free heat when the sawdust (unless you worked in a lumber mill and they allowed you to take some sawdust home, are a busy as hell carpenter or saw / pulverize logs all day everyday) cost money hm? Not very free. even a little cost is a cost.
I like the idea a lot, but that's a butt load of saw dust for only 8 hours. Imagine 3 or 4 months of heating. Unless he misspoke about the 8 hours of burn time. And I have no idea where to buy bags of saw dust.
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.....
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?
The web link you listed brought me to a survey for Telia Sonora which ended up signing me up for a subscription to a company called Kaylium.com. Please revise
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.…
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.
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.
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.
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!👍😃

Be careful where your sawdust comes from, or you could be burning toxic chemicals such as those found in plywood, fiberboard, MDF, etc.
Oh TH-cam, you pulled through on your recommendations this time.
I've never searched sawdust or stoves yet this appeared in my recommendations today also.
Great video, simple, to the point with no extra BS. The frying pan at the end was a brilliant touch.
Kevin Wilkinson he should use cast iron so the egg doesn't stick like that.
Plot twist: it only works if there is gentle guitar music playing.
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.
Now you tell us! LOL

Slightly larger pieces could be randomly mixed in such as 3-4 inch twigs and would clean up the yard debris !
Thanks.This type of stove is not restricted to sawdust, try using very fine paper shreddings from a high security paper shredder.
We used this for cooking back when I was young. We can't afford to buy a stove then
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.
For a second there I was thinking it was gonna turn into a cheap porno. Haha
Breakfast Porn.
actually that music was in porn
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.
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.
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.
Did you just make a relatively slow burning rocket motor/stove?
did you just design a rocket that runs on sawdust o.o
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!!!
In Afghanistan use almost 50 % of population saw dust ovens. We have been using it in our home since i was a child. Its2pretty good idea.
Коротко и понятно без лишнего бормотания. А главное показал сам процесс горения.👍
Yldsk
they don't sell this stove anymore, but can you please show us how to make one?
Just a drawing or two would be greatly appreciated.
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 do the same metod but with snow... I'm from romania and i use this metod of heating since the '80s
I have use this stove at winter from last 14 years
I don't see chimney
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?

I would wrap copper pipe around it for hot water just a idea you probably could even use it with radiant heating around the house to
Came for the saw dust stove....replayed for the porn music.....jk thank you for showing your design! It's very nice!
"Free heat"? Yet you opened a sealed bag of sawdust? Didn't you pay for that?
Barnaby ap Robert there are so many places you can get free sawdust! I used to get it when working on a farm and it done the business owner a favour by shovelling away sawdust that they would have to get rid of anyway
I always heard that every one has a twin. Lol! We look identical!

Hola sabes cuanto dura encendida con esa carga?
super
all the best from srilanka
That probably gets extremely hot. Sawdust would be a great insulator and when it carbonizes ohhhh man.
This seems very counter intuitive until you compare it to a Swedish fire log.
Grandioso, que gran idea, gracias por compartir, y la música está genial 👏👏👏
How does the air for combustion get into the barrel?
Thru the ash drawer.
Музыка похожа на Твинпикс
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.
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?
Pål P “please continue to hold. Your call is very important to us and will be answered in the order in which it was received.” 😂😂
works like a rocket stove
No, as their is no long combustion chamber after the fuel.
can you make a video on building this stove?
Espresso Emperor ,it's 7 years and still no reply
@@philipvanderwaal6817 I hope he's doing okay
Yeah but if we go burning sawdust how are they going to make that cheap fake wood furniture? LOL
[drum rimshot]
Growing up ( I'm from Philippines)we cook our food this way too using smaller can tho not a barrel size. .
Why does everyone that posts these on TH-cam use music? And not only music but the most crappy music they can possibly locate? Why not post the actual sounds of the work? THAT is much more entertaining and factual.
Me: britishhardwoodonline.com sounds like a porn site.
Music plays.......Porno site confirmed
I don't think its primary use is for cooking. Cooking is just something else you can do..cook your brekky or dinner! I have art studio and this would work rather well!
i was used to heat my workshop with sawdust (mdf)
no smoke at the cheamny
it also helped me to get rid off all the dust of a carpenter shop :))
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.

Sand not necessary in a good design, as at my grandmother house! :)

This the the 3am video I was looking for
We could do the same with paper Pulp... Just keep on tamping it down !!!
I cant reach your site. Can i buy a stove like this ? Where ? Your site not working .
In the former time about sisties and seventeens there was a round plate used as a lid to cover the burada lid was made of iron and it was iron stove
I heat over a 1000ft2 of uninsulated building,
Quanti sacchi entrano dentro ?
Ile worków się kości w środku ?
Yep. We had one long ago in the fifties of last century. A short time after end of WW II. Worked great.
We could use these in a country forced to shut down coal power plants 😢
I wish i knew how the inside and how it connects to the exhaust otherwise its great ty.

Okay, so you actually just answered my question about why these are not placed in the center of rooms versus a corner.

Wow m8 really cool design and might pick one of these up wow really good vid :)
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.
Does it matter if it's sawdust from abricht or something?
Add some pine tree resin collected off trees for an extra kick!
What do you do if the sawdust collapses on tube?
Por favor quiero saber que le puso en sima si es baro por favor en español.
How many kilo of sawdust you can used for 8 hours
The domain does not exist anymore. Still, nice idea.
Nice and efficient. I might experiment and make one of these with my everlast welder
I assume it would work well with dried cow shit or horse shit.
I like this. Never seen this design before wow and thanks
W Polsce, nazywał się ten piec ,trociniakiem.
What r the dimensions of stove IE Height outside diameter and inside diameter of the refill please advice. Thanks and regards
It`s made from a standard 50 gallon steel drum.
I thought you were sharing the design, but youre not and your link doesnt work.
Curious what the bottom inside looks like...
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.
Neat, that music is terrible though
The Twin Peaks music gives you the creeps
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
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.
Всё гениальное просто!
Super i need thisthank you so much sir for sharing pls help me to know more about this
It is Indian rice husk and sawdust stove used 1000 year back and also we use this model mud stove in our tribal people
Hey, What a grate idea, But why the music in the back ground make it hard concentrate on what is being said or seen, Still it was a interesting video. Thanks. Al

Dust is explosive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah I remember doing this in my childhood days except we used big cans of milk.
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.
Don't say "no smoke". Carbon monoxide is an invisible killer. But stove is good, I am going to make one just like this.. :)
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.
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?
