@gideonporter537 they can do that, this prototype one starts to dull down after a few hours of operation, but thats just because it doesn't have a ash dispenser, ash gets in front of the basket and slows the draw. A 20 kg bag of pellets will last 6-7 hours Tested it in a run time test once .
@gideonporter537 the problem is with a damper down is the less airflow over the pellets. If the draw decreases to much that encourages the flames to travel up the pellet hopper instead of being drawn through the rocketstove. I think I have cracked this problem but more testing is needed. This would not be a problem so much with an outside set up ,I am just on a mission to make these 100 percent safe for indoor use thanks dude
Love the legs on this one - gorgeous! : ) I wish you knew people who could help you make a business out of your stoves & tipis. It would be a travesty if some turd took your designs & you never saw the profits. Best of luck to you, you’ve earned it.
Thanks for that ,I don't mind if people build the stoves, I wouldn't of been able to get this far if people didn't share their designs. The tipis have had a lot of my work in them to get them right, I was about to start to make them but then had a shoulder injury. The yurt building company I have been working for the last 16 years,they have just had their designs ripped off ,someone just did a direct copy of the yurts and selling them a bit cheaper . It's pretty hard to stop that kind of thing these days. I will continue with the stoves,I feel I have enough tricks up my sleeve to keep the interest in my designs from the public thanks for the kind words.
@@PYROFLOWROCKETSTOVES For sure. I suspected you’d feel that way : ) There’s a difference between open source sharing your designs & someone else making a profitable business out of you work tho. I hate it when hardworking people get ripped off. Sorry about your shoulder too, injuries are a bummer! Greetings from across the ditch.
@s-c.. totally get that, yeah my old bosses where pretty upset with that. They only have the one design ,it took them years to build up the business, and to get the design through building concent. They are stuck with their design because of all the paperwork. It's a bit lazy to directly copy something. Rocketstoves have great potential and could help many countries become less polluted, in this case I think even if I do get ripped off by a big company atleast they would be helping the planet still. Hopefully I can join up with something and grow together, but yea I don't need much, just feel blessed to be in what I think is the best place in newzealand. Millionaires ,Billionaires all want a slice of nz for a prepper location ,I don't have much money but live a very good life on almost nothing lol.
I just get mine from a local glass supplier, yes it is expensive. This stove only needs a small amount though. Approx 100mm x 360mm for example last peice of ROBAX glass I bought was 500x500 mm cost $150 nz around $70 us. Robax ® is the ideal fire viewing glass. It is a clear ceramic glass with great resistant to thermal shock and heat, so much that it can withstand up to 760° C for up to 5 hours and 560° C for up to 5,000 hours. Once I move house and settled I will sort out a decent video on the glass work, thanks for watching 👀 👍
After about 6 hrs of use ,I would collect about 1/3 of a cup of very fine ash. The rocket stoves vortex flame spin and rocket draw effect, effectively leaves stuff all ashes to clean up. My latest design has an ash dispenser but not really needed for a few hours a night burn etc, but with this 1st prototype stove I would just take the front glass off and tip up the stove to release the ashes. It takes a long time to clog.why you might ask?. The rocket suction effect vacuums away the ash mostly. You do get a slight build up of ashes, just in front of the pellet basket. This stays mostly the same size throughout the burn, however many hours that is. Interestingly, I think that the pile of ashes in front of the basket that accumulates is actually just slightly heavier ash that is still being drained of its energy . once the energy is expired, it becomes lighter and wisps away. Always replaced by new pellet particles that are now too small to stay within the pellet basket.
It's also thanks to the pellet fuel I should add. Pellets are perfectly dry, compact and consistent. They definitely leave less ash than the same rockstove with a kindling wood hopper attached. Wood pellets are credibility compact power houses that are as easy as a gas stove to use, but with that all natural fire effect.
Quite the efficient design & very interesting --Re: "Interestingly, I think that the pile of ashes in front of the basket that accumulates is actually just slightly heavier ash that is still being drained of its energy ."@@PYROFLOWROCKETSTOVES
Yeah its pretty crappy but that's all I have at the moment, I am moving house everything is in box's. Some people wanted this video up before I was ready,it's helping some people so that's good enough.
Yes, very appreciated!!! Thank you for sparing the good amount of time to be quite helpful--I loved it & the trampoline spring! Praying your shoulder heals strong!@@PYROFLOWROCKETSTOVES
Awesome video! Very clear presentation.Fabulous design.
Mate, thank you for this video (and all others) So informative and I've read all your comments here too.
💖💖💖💖
Very nice design. I'm in the USA how I purchase one?
What's the burn time on a fully loaded hopper of pellets plse?
The burn rate on this stove is about 1 cup of pellets per 25 mins .that hopper was just a prototype it burned just over an hour.
@rocketstove007 thank you. I have been looking for a self-feed type set up that might burn up to 9 hours....
@gideonporter537 they can do that, this prototype one starts to dull down after a few hours of operation, but thats just because it doesn't have a ash dispenser, ash gets in front of the basket and slows the draw. A 20 kg bag of pellets will last 6-7 hours Tested it in a run time test once .
@@PYROFLOWROCKETSTOVES 6-7 hours is good. Perhaps a damper would give that extra 1-2 hours for a normal sleep. Hmm. I see possibilities 😁

Where do you get your glass? Ebay glass is very expensive

It's probably cheaper to buy locally at a geuss ,ebays high pricing might be due to the glass being fragile, higher shipping cost etc
Try the dump/recycle shops for old glass oven doors maybe?
Where do all the ashes go and how easy is it to clean out. Does it get clogged with ashes ? After a while
After about 6 hrs of use ,I would collect about 1/3 of a cup of very fine ash. The rocket stoves vortex flame spin and rocket draw effect, effectively leaves stuff all ashes to clean up.

Do you mind if I share the production process? I want to make one.
Go for it , I look forward to see the evolution.
Yes, it is the same for me, this is the most successful work he has done compared to others.@@PYROFLOWROCKETSTOVES
