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 !
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
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.
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.
@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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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
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?
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 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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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....
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.
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?
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 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.
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 !
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.
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.

Be careful where your sawdust comes from, or you could be burning toxic chemicals such as those found in plywood, fiberboard, MDF, etc.
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.
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.
Thanks.This type of stove is not restricted to sawdust, try using very fine paper shreddings from a high security paper shredder.

Oh UA-cam, you pulled through on your recommendations this time.
I've never searched sawdust or stoves yet this appeared in my recommendations today also.

SpookyJohnathan how would you fill it with saw dust?
larger tank filled with water surrounding inner stove
Please, explain further

Yep. We had one long ago in the fifties of last century. A short time after end of WW II. Worked great.

We used this for cooking back when I was young. We can't afford to buy a stove then
Did you just make a relatively slow burning rocket motor/stove?
did you just design a rocket that runs on sawdust o.o
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.
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.

How does the ash tray function, & how hot does the stove get ?
absolutely simple and thus presumably bulletproof...gotta love it...

Pretty neat design, never knew about sawdust stoves, does it work with pellets? have you tried it?
you most likely need something that will compact solid. I doubt that pellets would hold the shape when the forming tube is removed.
@@grim101hotmail Good point, it would likely crumble up and fall down as it burned.
now im assuming this is to big for my room lol. do they sell cheap wood heaters for single rooms??
i would recomend this for any workshop. i have plans of building a small one to experimen.

I always heard that every one has a twin. Lol! We look identical!
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.
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.
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

I do the same metod but with snow... I'm from romania and i use this metod of heating since the '80s
have plans of your project, is amazing!!!
For a second there I was thinking it was gonna turn into a cheap porno. Haha

Stove paint.
is this song from the soundtrack la femme nikkita?
That probably gets extremely hot. Sawdust would be a great insulator and when it carbonizes ohhhh man.
instead of sawdust could i use shreded paper?
Super i need thisthank you so much sir for sharing pls help me to know more about this
