      💯 . I've been hoping and praying to be able to buy a good stove which is sad ......but this is genius and will make life easier. I'm going to heat water off mine and use a long pipe to extract all heat. I guess a 25 liter tin can could be used or would a barrel work to convert it to an interior stove?

    Just brilliant, I can feel more development from this smart looking design. Other materials like large tins are ok to use, they work but don’t last so well as stacked brick designed rocket stoves, but they aren’t so portable. Great job for those of us without welding tools.

      @@sixpackbinky - I would need to build one and do some testing before calling it the "best", but it's definitely much easier to make than most rocket stove or RMH cores. I honestly don't know how well it would stand up to the temperatures at which a true rocket stove operates, since those are likely mild steel castings. I suspect they would spall quite badly, although they are very thick, so a lot of metal to erode before it becomes an issue.

    I started making Rocket Stoves years ago and the ratio I remember is, if the air opening or fire feed hole is 4" diameter, then the pipe has to be 4" all the way through, and the out pipe must be 3xs as tall as the opening, so at least 12" tall for a 4" opening.

    With a rocket mass heater, we are shooting for temperatures closing in one 2000 degrees F. Note that steel spalls at 1600 degrees F. So a steel j-tube tends to fail. Of course with a 4-inch system, the amount of wood is small enough you often cannot get to 1600 degrees F.

And, yes, you are not shooting for a rocket mass heater - although it is rocket mass heaters that typically use the j-tube. Although the dimensions you mention are the rmh j-tube dimensions (sort of).

    Great job Robert! Plumbing fittings are great for tones of things and they are standardized. I am working on micro hydro myself, and I have found that "sanitary fittings" are great with their clamping system which can be assembled disassembled thanks to a simple and easy to use system - modern cad software have links to the Mcmaster Carr catalogue which has 3d-Step files ready to 3dprint. Of course this would not work for high temperature applications but for water or air this is great.

    Excellent project! As this was made using 100 mm fittings, I wonder what the effect would be if you increased the size to say 150 or 200 mm diameter fittings and then put say a 300 or 400 mm surround over the top & appropriate cap to emulate the box in video 1741, You could even add to it like the picture shown at 5:03 - which is almost a piece of art. Lots of potential for some amazing designs. And if you use pipe fittings, as they are nice thick steel you would automatically get an excellent heat sink. It wouldn't be cheap, though. Yeah, it may be a little over kill thinking like this, but it's currently -28C here.

    Brilliant! I will create this for my studio - please would you do a video showing how to convert it to indoor use (using no welding)?

    Years ago, I made a stove from a Calor gas bottle. The stove had a door, and a flue ... flue length about 6 feet, and 4-inch diameter. I used this thing in my garage. Well, it seemed like a good idea, until I went round the back of the garage and saw the chimney. There were foot-long flames roaring out of the chimney, threatening to set the neighborhood alight. Thus ended my experiment. But, I wasn't too sad to see it go, on account of it being so messy.

      Suggest you might want to build a smaller one next time !!!

      You just needed a taller chimney. What yours was doing is exactly why they call them rocket stoves. Too bad you got rid of it.

    another fast way to make a rocket stove is large truck exhaust pipe and fittings and a flow through muffler makes a great heat exchanger. still use same sealant on gaps. question how much did all those plumbing fittings actually cost? bet those fittings stayed warm along time. great build

      I've been looking into truck exhaust fittings and tubing also. I think they can be 3 inch . I like the muffler heat exchanger.

    Worked in a foundry and we would use both the high temp Teflon tape and liquid Teflon for the pipe connections to keep them from leaking. Hope that helps. Not sure what you used? Also, use a kitchen hot pan holder for the nipples if you need to touch them otherwise they may be deemed a booby trap. :)

      I used a silicate putty meant for stove sealing but I like the teflon idea
