New idea of making smoke free wood stove from Bain Marie Pots

- I built smokeless wood stove for the camp. Used two different sized BMP (Bain Marie Pots) and it works great!
for inner can ID 16.5, OD 18.7, H 19.0 (cm)
for outer can ID 18.0, OD 20.1, H 21.0 (cm)
I think You will find that it burns better and consumes less fuel if you reduce the amount of primary air. You can test this easily by covering over a bunch of those holes in the bottom with a disc of sheetmetal. I have found over the years that these require very little primary air for the best most efficient burn. Too much primary air causes too much up-flow thru the stove, towering flames and higher fuel consumption… Nice build!
@@iamtheboxer in the inner bucket where you put the wood. Primary air feeds the wood/coals directly. Secondary air is heated between the chambers and feeds/ignites the wood gas(Released by the primary fire/heat) above the wood. Too much primary air creates too much up flow thru the burn chamber. This reduces the time the gas has to break down and burn in the heated secondary air so you get smoke condensing/becoming visible 2-3’ above the fire. I have found that the area of the primary vents needs to be ~1% of the area of the bottom of the inner chamber/bucket… area of a circle is pi x radius squared. A 10” bucket has 78 sq/in of area(5”x5”x3.1416). 1% of that is .78sq/in. A 1/2” hole has about .2 sq/in of area, so about four 1/2” holes or more of a smaller size. You can always add more, but as demonstrated in many of these, holes are a pain, so it is better just to not have to drill them in the first place. Of course there are some other variables, but ~1% is where I have had my best burn.
@@rronmar thanks, this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I'm preparing to build my own and after watching tons of these videos I suspected that most people were allowing too much airflow. Do you have any data on the ideal for the secondary air holes and the holes in the outer chamber?
@@pasfromage secondary hole formula? No not really, as I don’t drill them. I have the outer chamber overlap the top edge of the inner chamber and leave a small gap between the two for the secondary air to pass. Done this way, there are several ways to assemble that will allow you to adjust this gap to tune/experiment with the secondary airflow. On the ones I build out of water heaters i have run gaps between 1/8”-3/8”. You could also cut notches or “V”s around the top edge of the inner chamber with a cutoff wheel on a grinder far easier than you can drill holes. I only drill holes when I need precision fastening, as they are a lot of work. I cringe sometimes watching these builds with all the holes that they really didn’t need to drill. Here is a slideshow diagram of ones I build… th-cam.com/video/XtzoCQBoldY/w-d-xo.html Good Luck, its cool when you get it dialed in…
Has anyone combined tornado effect with this design? Instead of fully cutting the holes, use the material as vanes to create a vortex, Rocket stove style. Also is the heat from the secondary burn lost to the air?
@@MikePogmore I havn’t seen anyone try a vortex on this style. Not sure how effective it would be for a few reasons. There isn’t a lot of it. If there were more secondary flow, it wouldn’t have time to get superheated, so would be less effective at cleanly burning off all the woodgas to burn smoke free… you really want the hot secondary air/o2 to flow out over the fire to mix with the gas and ignite. The low pressure column of secondary air can only travel so far horizontally, so angling it to create a circular flow would increase the horizontal distance it is trying to cover. This would probably create a center column of unburnt gas that the secondary air simply cannot reach. The gas in this center area would probably not ignite, and would condense back into smoke above the fire. In answer to your question, yes the secondary fire heat is lost to the atmosphere unless you cook something over it:) Thats the heat you feel around one of these pits, as you don’t really feel much heat around the can, as that outer surface is internally air-cooled by the secondary flow between the inner and outer wall. Thats the drawback of these pits, your feet will get cold:) i recessed mine into the ground in my fire pit area so the people setting around the fire can enjoy more of the heat…
love this and will be making one. thank you! Looks better than the expensive ones they sell. No crazy tools needed to make it.
I know I'm a little late to the party here, but my daughter and I are getting ready to make this same stove to take camping with us since this is all that is allowed in many national forests. I absolutely loved the idea of the L-brackets to make the pot stand
finally a youtuber who know how to make the genuine smoke free wood stove.
I do not understand why it will be smoke free ?
It is not correct design
@@ehabradiology it is smoke free when the fire is coming from the top holes. The correct term is woodgas stoves and they burn from top to bottom
pyrolysis oven🙂
Yeah yeah yeah
You get soot instead of smoke
Profitable exchange
👍
Great video, I made mine out of a restaurant food warmer (double lined) it is just a bit smaller than yours and works great. I will add the legs and pot holder as you have, gracias for a well documented video.
I've asked many youtubers about doing this exact thing with their designs, and they all said no need. Well done. Using the science around how it works to maximum effect.
Great example. For those needing exact measurements, use what you have or can find. The concept will work as long as you keep approximate ratios.
This is the best secondary burn I’ve ever seen…. Would’ve been nice if you had links to pots.
Would it be helpful to have a third ring of holes in the middle or 2/3 of the way up the pot? Or what difference would it make if the second ring of holes were a little bit lower?
Would it help to have a third ring of Holes about midway up the pot, or perhaps lower the top ring down about a third of the way?
Great video man! Now add a same diameter bowl on top, flip it upsidedown and cut the bottom of it, you have a flame concentrator on it (it really does help). You can fix it in place with those metal paper clips but your pot holders should work fine as well
Got my spirit back today. Thank you.
I really appreciate what you share thank you so much your a great person you know the gas is so expensive due to Russia and ucrain war the stove is useful right now. It's smokeless our neighbors will not be disturbed..we can't use firewood because of the smoke. Thank you so much God bless you.
I've been studying homemade stoves on You Tube. This is the best one yet!Thank you! :)
I've Never watched flames in slow motion! Great vid
well done! very clear and the pots are the perfect starting point. will do this with my kids next week!
That placement of music 👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍 gave a feel of seeing fire when wet..🙏
You are godly my friend! thank you for sharing. smokeless firepits are so expensive! 🔥🔥🔥
Well done
Several years ago I made a similar one out of a Jasmine tea tin and a Progesso soup can. It's small and fits in a side pocket of my ruck, and it works great using mere twigs for fuel. Also, a beer can chicken holder fits perfectly inside the soup can, and it holds my camp cookware. Since that first one, I've made probably a few dozen as gifts to friends
those are some nice BMP pot the one i find online now are so cheaply made
Very creative! Thanks for the instructional video!
Well aren't we just smart 🤣 , great job , AWESOME JOB 👏 😎 👍 😀 🙌.
Very cool video in every possible way! Thank you!
Great video !!
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
That's an efficient burning stove🔥; good music too.🎻🎶
Great working design. Thanks for making and posting this video.
Beautiful stove!
Good work. Add a hoop at the bottom for air control, so the fire will last longer.
Nice work!
Great reburn action!
I already made something similar with a strainer and a pot that I got from a thrift store!
What a great idea!!!!!!!!!
Buddy best gasifier stove&/ build I've seen!!!
Thanks for watching Buddy
Sir congratulations you are the only TH-camr with well explained video now i can make one thanks ❤❤❤
looks really good
Great work
you are genius! golden hand for sure. :)
NEW?!? You kids are hysterical.
Hello from Germany.
Thank You for your Video.
Brilliant!
The music 🎶 & the 🔥 is beautiful 🤌
Top class that's how it's done.
Thank you! 🥰
Gracefull Thank you for sharing...(from Belgium..)
Thank you so much. Nice music too!
Nice video great music
love this and will be making one. thank you
love this and will be making one. thank you
Most effective supply of oxygen at the right spot.
Brilliant idea.
Less heat conductive outer container is a plus point I hope.
Great idea, thank you
好主意！设计简单又完美！棒呆了！👍
YOU made it Sir!
Thank you!
💛
Do you have any Amazon links for the pots?
شكرا جزيلا
لقد استمتعت بالمشاهدة
Genial gracias por compartir como se hace saludos desde chile.
Great stuff. Do you have a link for the Bain Marie Pots you used?
Brill!!😊👍
I liked it!. 🍓😻😻
Nice
a sheet metal hood over one of these. hood vented to outside. make heat, cook, nice idea or invention. pot size and metal type can be adjusted to particular requirements. it is the great design that is the amazing part. thank you
Would also increase the draw. Could become a rocket stove and improve efficiency at the same time! Couple it with a primary air throttle and you can show it down once it's going and just burn the wood gas.
@@MikePogmoreThe primary air throttle is a great idea. I wonder how it could be implemented? You got me thinking, thanks. 👍
Great music!! Thx
很棒的汽化爐，如果能控制火的大小就太好了
Perfect
Add a mantle level for increased heating and secondary gas combustion. Those holes on the bottom look like they will clog with ash fast. Add some more holes in diameter around the inner vessel 3 cm above the bottom.
Awesome
Thanks very much for this great video. This is now on the to do list. :) With the 6mm holes around the rim of the inner pot, I wonder if you got a 6mm rod, inserted in to each hole one by one and pushed the rod 45° in the same direction, whether the flames from the secondary burn would spiral? Cheers!
What sizes are the two pots?? Nice job!
Looking for this tx so much
Do the 16mm holes in the outer cylinder equal the 'surface area' of the 5 and 6 mm holes of the inner vessel?
So good on you for building it. Bit what you essentially made is a wood gasifier
Very cool! How about a wood burning pizza oven?
Good idea but ash will block the unnderneath holes.
Awesome build! Very nice materials used and quite enjoyed the whole mood. I’ve made something similar on my channel using an old rusty small beer keg (single walled) and found many similarities between our videos. Take care!
Admit it, you just love that drill
I got a pasta cooker pot with a strainer that fits inside,wondering if that would work the same?
Great work looks amazing want to try this but where can i get the to metal bins...? (England)
Great design, just curious will the ashes built up slowly cover up the primary air holes and suffocate the fire?
that's right. So, instead of adding excessive firewood, add the appropriate amount. When the charcoal fills up, you can poke the center of the charcoal with a stick to improve airflow, speed up combustion, and reduce bulk.
👍👍👍Very good design. Have you tried a 3rd stage burning by putting into a bigger pot with holes on top...
Does anyone know the pot sizes or model numbers? These videos are great but also include the material sizes in the description would make them perfect.
He did mention the dimensions in the caption.
think of same design..but using two steel drums ex: 45 gallon steel barrel. I wonder how long of burn time you would get out of that size? heat output ? cooking surface area? the air flow engineering is great, the size of the barrel would depend on what you want to heat with it.
What specific drill bits did you use? Stainless can be a pain to drill. I have a 1/4" bit with a Cobalt tip.
Would it help to have a third ring of Holes about midway up the pot, or perhaps lower the top ring down about a third of the way?
Tanks for the music. Jinchen sang
It works in open place where air flow is good
Best video I've seen all week!!!!!!! I'm surprised you didn't burn your fingers when you picked up your Ramen noodles pot! Wasn't the handle hot??
Great video, can you or anyone in this comment section tell me what size these pots are? Thx
Hi, it looks really cool and I tried this too. I managed to light it with pellets, but the flame was very weak and didn't go as high as yours. What is your advice?
What sizes did you use?
How long does it burn for when full of pellets?
Are the size of the pots too big for your requirements? A pot of water, etc. doesn’t need that big a fire to boil or heat up. I’m thinking about what size Bain Marie pots to buy. Your example looks a little big for cooking. What do you think?
Agree 100%. Diameter is too large. Also a smaller diameter with this height should work better I suspect. An additional section above about half the height would increase the chimney effect. Check out Heath Putnam's channel, he has a great playlist on wood gassifier hobo stoves.
I have made a couple of these and found the one with the smaller holes around the inner pot rim burned better that one with larger holes. I am guessing that the smaller holes kept the gases from passing through to quickly and increased the heat and gas content of the smoke? This is hypothetical, as I said I only made a couple of stoves.
Agree😊
I am really curious why you used the center bolt. What would've happened if you didn't bolt them together?
Just for stability. Absolutely unnecessary but the pots would move around inside each other and rattle without the pot holders. It just centers the pots and holds them nicely in place. You can still hold them in place with those paper metal clips. Works fine for me.
I also made a version out of a double walled ice bucket. And one without a bottom pan, but that evaporates moisture from the ground and creates more smoke unless i place a sheet of foil under it. Also makes a fire footprint
👍
Do you make and sell them? I don’t have any of the tools to make it.
Does the stainless warp after lots of use?
No problem at all! Because it is round shaped so anti warp!
Looks better than $150-$300 Solo Stove
Thanks. It is pleasant to make, showed decent performance
👍👍
How many cycles do you think this will withstand? Having used the same Guage stainless before as a smoker pan, it didn't last more than 5-6 uses and not in direct contact with flame.
00x times for sure
What size pots looks like about a 6 and 8 qt
@camping together craft what size pots did you use?
Thanks
Please explain a bit more, I realise that increased air helps burn better, especially when insulated with an air sleeve provided by the double layer, but your flame is still yellow, indicative of incomplete combustion , so there is likely some smoke.
