The basic "Stove" design was not only stellar but one of the more "wife friendly" in appearance of any Rocket Stove I've seen. Brilliant. Wish there was more on the oven build but even just the stove portion would work with a Coleman Camping oven sitting on a portion of the grill plate. At my advanced age highly unlikely I would be building one but would like to buy one. Too bad as I have about 200 years of twigs on my property. Again! Brilliant!.

Awesome job. Love the handle and thermometer detail as well.

[@joshadams8108]

That's a very cool oven! I'd like to mention a tip, you may already know, if you are trying to eliminate or at least reduce heat warpage on sheet metal using some aluminum blocks as either back ups or just close to the weld area it'll draw alot of the heat away. I weld stainless sheet and tubing and do quite a bit of fabing at my work and that's what i've been trained to do. Stainless warps three times as hard as mild steel so it makes a huge difference. Just throwing it out there! Great work guy !!!!!

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes . The wily old boiler maker where I did my apprenticeship had two chunks of trolls way rail iron that he moved along as he welded joins on thin plate. i hope plenty of people read your comment Josh.

[@tommyt4062]

Great video, I made a normal L shape rocket stove and it works great but one of these is next. I was going to make basically the same thing as what you've done but have the top as a griddle/blacktop, you know the type of thing I mean. I'm going to use pretty thick plate for the top and I was confident in how I'm going to make it but wasn't sure how I should do the oven. This has been a big help so thanks you got a big thumbs up from me :-)

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes- I just wanted to keep mine clean so using pans

[@metheewatchakittikorn4796]

A very efficient use of heat. Top for frying and boiling, bottom for baking. Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Oh by the way, absorbing heat and dissipating back with ceramic is a brilliant idea. I wonder if you could put an array of ceramic tiles inside of the burning chamber would make the oven even hotter and more efficient or not.

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Good job mate, it is definitely a thing!

[@t.h.o.r.]

Ummm... wierdest thing... Ive over fueled it so hard that Ive buckled the plate! 450C. but the oven wot go past 100C Ive insulated the outside walls of the oven with cardboard and it just wont even get hot enough to melt cheese. Ideas?

[@LittleAussieRockets]

It might be the half fire brick in the burn chamber is doing to good of a job. keeping most of your heat up top. Or maybe just add a second rocket for the oven, not ideal but would give you a working oven when yon need it.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes im thinking of a second heat source. i took the hump brick out and its 30c hotter in the oven but still not cracking 100C. -Im thinking a ceramic panel inside that flips up and down on a lever. pushes flames down to heat oven? Hey I just got a new comment saying-"this is not a rocket stove" Im wondering why he would say that? = probably a flat earther?

[@LittleAussieRockets]

I get those comments all the time...... there are 3 types of rocket stove people, purist , preppers and the average guy who just likes the idea of lighting a fire to cook with.

@@joeleepowell7428 Its a super cheap ($200) rainwater system. the barrels are $20 each- they were full of dairy sanitiser from a milking shed so perfectly safe for drinking water. the water cascades through via the PVC pipes and is filtered for leaves and debris as it enters and filtered again as it is drawn off to 0.5 micron through two more filters then the pump and into the Housetruck. the kitchen tap has another ceramic and carbon core filter.

[@cholder9112]

At this point you should look up old cook stoves because that's really all this is. My grandmother had a cabin with a very similar commercial woodburning stove

[@SuperQuickfix1]

To increase the heat in the oven, could you have a baffle flip up and holes in front and on the other side so the heat would be drawn into the stove. By opening and closing the holes you could control the oven temp

[@motor1144]

Good pair of hands, cant really understand why you don't look after them ie "Gloves"Great job on the stove.

[@t.h.o.r.]

My hands are wider than average and to get gloves that fit- the fingers hang off like cow's udders!- yes ive had some hellish hand injuries over the years. nursing a bad burn right now, have nerve damage in left had - limited feeling and mobility.

[@projectqueen610]

This is so awesome!!! This could easily be multi purpose is a tiny space. Wow!! The only thing I may do is to add a fresh air intake to route outside as not to draw oxygen out of my space. You could also create a screen in the fire box to use pellets. (You may have already). I'm just full of ideas.

[@t.h.o.r.]

The pellet thing is on the list- so is water heating. - Fires are my Business and have been for many years. dont worry about oxygen depletion - Its a fallacy. the fire extinguishes long before you will haha. If you were in an absolutely sealed room with a fire going. it would extinguish from lack of air way before you knew that there was an issue. this has been proved again and again. :)

[@projectqueen610]

TinyHouse and Offgrid Resources Thanks. Good to know. I studied tons of these things and by far yours is my favorite....so practical. If you were in the states I would surely buy from you as I do not know how to weld yet. : )

Hi Oliver, What Im doing is a brick and mortar version. It will be so anyone can make it. - ready soon. This oven underneath idea has'nt worked well so the new one will have the oven alongside the hotplate.

[@monk13131]

Nice piece. Any thoughts on a hot water closet? Should be fairly easy to run some pipes inside the top with a water box on the left hand side.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Howdy- yes I do water heaters for my other stoves. flue mounted. this will get one soon. wood pellet basket first though!

[@monk13131]

I'm looking forward to this build. Thanks. And "Hi" from Canada (Halifax, Nova Scotia, specifically).

[@rustywoodpecker8191]

Good one👍 I mean this as constructive curiosity when I'm wondering how the heat transfers through the oven apart from the top?..Considering heat rises. Hmm🤔....Maybe a solar powered over fan that circulates the hot air around. Much like a fan forced oven🤔

[@t.h.o.r.]

now that is a good idea!

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes rusty you were so correct. 450c on top but only 200 underneath. That translates to only 100c in the oven . I'll try a diverted flap first. Then if I have to add another firebox for the oven then well, it has to be.

[@rustywoodpecker8191]

TinyHouse and Offgrid Resources: 👌..Ok..Yeah 🤔..Hmmm, thinking thinking🤔. Oh..ok. In regards to an inlet flap for the oven from the rocket furnace. In order to circulate from top to bottom, you can still use the chimney to pull the heat to the bottom of the oven with not only a diversion flap from the rocket furnace but you need an exit flap on the right hand side of the oven top, leading back into the bottom of the original hot plate section. (Just remove half a brick, and replace the hole with an adjustable slide back and forth plate, simply controlled from the outside. The way that you get the heat to the bottom of the oven would be to have an secondary closed wall (1 inch vertical gap) on the left side oven wall ( with inlet hole at the top from rocket furnace) with a 1 inch open gap at the bottom. Attached to the bottom of this secondary inside (left wall) is another inside bottom sheet (1 inch horizontal gap)...yet this bottom sheet has rows of drilled holes ( starting with small holes on the left side, leading to larger holes on the right). This way the heat can distribute evenly along the bottom (left to right), considering that the left side will be hotter than the right, and also disperse heat into the oven before it's sucked out buy top right suction hole leading back into you "top plate" section and from right to left, back up the chimney.😄 Try experimenting with this first, so as to eliminate using a secondary rocket furnace for the oven👍 I hope I've explained this the best I could. Please read over it again & again, so visualisation kicks in. I can send some drawings if you want to send through messenger. Rusty 🇦🇺

I'm sure you are very close to your final measurements. However, if you ever want to conduct a design of expirments (DOE) optomize the final design let me know. Very nice job.

[@t.h.o.r.]

Im not totally sure what you mean David? like CAD drawings with bend allowances and all the nitty gritty details like that?- or computer simulated combustion analysis?

[@davidzemke2549]

@@t.h.o.r. I know you already have the bend allowances down and the measurements. DOE focuses on different inputs and optomizeing an out put. For example the inputs could be area of the main air Inlet, length and area of the burn area and out put could how hot a gallon water gets in 15 minutes with a given amount of fuel. Then you change the inputs and make severial stoves in a given combination at specific settings. Ultimately the best combination of inputs should generate optomize output.

[@jerrysmith372]

I really like the stove you built. Would you be interested in making up plans and drawings with detailed directions for sale? You could easily put that on a PDF and sell it over the net. I'd pay $50 for the plans. I'm handy enough, I could build it.Great job on the stove.

[@Chimonger1]

Is it normal for a rocket stove to emit some smoke into a room where it’s used, at light-up? Or, does more, or less, smoke depending on how much draft is working, & the ratio between vertical & horizontal tubing?

[@t.h.o.r.]

Oh - they all smoke until the chamber and flue get hot enough to burn the particulates- but it should only be a minte or two

[@Chimonger1]

@@t.h.o.r. Oh! We’ll need to figure out how to minimize that, even if it means putting a starter small chamber in-line of the pipe, to get it drawing quicker.

[@t.h.o.r.]

@@Chimonger1 smoke in the room- you need more flue length. smoke up the chimney- normal for the first two minutes till the riser gets to 800f or 430C

[@Chimonger1]

@@t.h.o.r. I understand what you are saying. But, that does not fit the current issue. Our chimney is a 15’ brick chimney. The damper is missing (rotted out). There is about a 4” x 10” ash-dump in the rear floor of the fire chamber of fireplace..good air supply. Chimney has approx. 12” x 15” clay flue liner, up thru the 15’ height of the brick chimney. The opening to fireplace = 3’w. X 2’h. I think, after trying a few times, that The ratio of the fireplace opening measurement, to the size of the chimney hole, doesn’t work. The column of cold air in the chimney height, is too heavy for starting a fire & overcoming the column of cold pushing down inside the chimney, without it smoking out the house. Small fire or big, started in that, just smokes the house impossibly. That is why I think making a smaller burn chamber & opening, might help get the chimney to draw, once a glass screen is put in front of the smaller opening. It could concentrate the fire heat into a chamber more similar sized to the chimney interior. Otherwise, I don’t know how to make a fire happen in that fireplace, for emergency heat, right now.
