I absolutely love that design, you even removed the 90 degree elbow! I am so excited to see the MKIII, enjoy the new sub, and keep up the good work!

[@christopher_barr]

Cheers mate 👍

Thank you so much for these videos! This is easily one of the best portable stove builds I've ever seen, and it's simple enough that I don't feel like there's a lot of time and effort wasted on anything. I am really impressed with the rocket stove idea, as most wood stoves I've seen are traditional variety and far less efficient. This is the first one I've seen to capitalize on the simplicity of the rocket stove without trying to overly complicate everything or add too much mass and weight. I'm very excited to see any other videos you make in this series and I'm now a subscriber. I LOVE the idea of using copper coil tubing because it would be lightweight when empty and have very high thermal conductivity to act as a heatsink once the fire dies. I'm looking at using a setup like this (along with a smoke/CO detector!) for winter camping in the future, and I was trying to figure out the best way to add a heatsink without adding tons of weight. Water was one of my ideas, but I'm not exactly sure on how to make it work. I've thought about using a thermos type container with the lid removed and one end of the coil sitting in water inside of the thermos while water is poured into the other end of the tube.the tube fills with water, submerge the fill-end. In theory, the water should remain in the tube like it does when pulling an upside-down submerged glass from a sink and may generate some thermal convection current to constantly cycle water through the coil apparatus. I'm unsure of the effect on the burn and stove efficiency from this, as I know it would literally be acting as a heat sync and drop the stove temperature substantially.

Hi there, thank yoo very much for your comment and welcome aboard as a subscriber. I like simplicity and if something like can be made to be more simple than it already is then I would consider that to be an improvement. I have the Mk III built in my mind, I just need to find the time to physically build it and upload the vids (We've recently had our first baby and the time available for things like this has been vastly diminished recently!). Don't hold your breath for the Mk III but stick with me and sooner or later it will be here (Plus a simple copper coil heat exchanger for the flue for making hot water). Cheers! Chris 👍

[@sunbladerr]

Great job Chris.. I am almost done collecting all of the parts necessary to make a copy of your design. Thank you so much. I will use it to heat my small garage. Good Journey

[@christopher_barr]

Thanks for your comment. I'm sure you will enjoy your build and your garage will never be the same again! :-) Cheers, Chris 👍

[@geraldkirk8231]

making one of these for my tiny home, keep it up. I hope the mach 3 is on the way!

[@christopher_barr]

Excellent Gerald - good luck with your tiny home build. Cheers, Chris 👍

[@CedarworkshopNet]

Cool idea! Looks like a fun project to make.

[@christopher_barr]

Thanks! Yes, they are great fun to make and can be made really cheaply too. I think one of these would be great for an off-grid cabin... :-) Cheers, Chris 👍

[@nightw4tchman]

Loving these stove videos. Hope you make more.

[@christopher_barr]

Cheers buddy, there will be more 👍

[@yourekittenme.]

Good job! Why no wood stove playlist?

[@jamiemcneill3]

Geez, thanks Chris... I’d just settled on building my own stove using an old security bollard then you come along with a MUCH better idea!!! Off to find an ammo can! Joking aside, you’ve actually done me an enormous favour as the wife really wanted me to build a stove with glass in, which my bollard design didn’t allow for. Once built, I’ll give your channel a mention on my channel, which is @themcneillsonwheels. All the best, Jamie

[@christopher_barr]

Nice one Jamie, enjoy your build mate. Chris 👍

[@dmaher2007]

great design Chris, what size area so you think that would heat? Cheers.

[@christopher_barr]

Thanks Dave! Good question - there are a ton of variables to consider: the square metre / yard area; also the height (therefore the cubic area); the amount of insulation on each of the walls / floor / ceiling / bbany windows; how well the area is sealed from drafts... This little stove kicks out a ton of heat though. Whilst measuring those temperatures on that front face of the stove my hand was buring from the heat! Cheers, Chris 👍

[@Mmbohn1]

Do you sell these? I dint have access to the materials or the ability to put them together. It looks like a great little stove though...

[@christopher_barr]

No, sorry, there are not enough hours in the day... I'm sharing the info so you can build one yourself though. Cheers, Chris 👍

[@jlai3861]

hi is this the version 3 of your stove? I didn't see the secondary combusting occurred in there, is that because of the wide opening where you feed the fuel?

[@christopher_barr]

Hi there, this is the Mk II with the primary intake removed. You can see the secondary combustion up against the stainless steel plate at the far end away from the intake (The secondary burn has moved 'higher' up in the system and the flames travel all the way back across the baffle to the flue). It still burns smoke free... Cheers, Chris 👍

[@jlai3861]

+Christopher Barr - Random Chris I see, great work. Thanks

[@christopher_barr]

👍

[@BreadAndGatorade]

Still waiting to see that hot water modification. Skeleton.jpg

[@carls.6746]

when's version 3 coming out?

[@christopher_barr]

Good question! It's in the pipeline but our new baby is slowing things down somewhat!

[@carls.6746]

no worries man. im looking at making something like this for an Alaskan cabin which is unfortunately going to be many years into the future. im thinking about make a secondary burn stove out of or encased in brick with an oven up on top to the side so i still have a cooking surface on top of the stove. your videos on how to make it are the best ive seen. ive been able to understand what others are doing and saying because you went more in depth than they did. the more i know about how this works the better chances i'll have at getting it right the first time. since i dont know how much brick, fire brick, and mortar will cost up there i may not be able to fix any problems that i may have. however when scaling up slight adjustment done to a smaller variant could possibly have concerning affects. i still am doing research both with other aspects of living up there and this. i dont want it too big to where it over heats the cabin but can barley keep a fire at more comfortable temps and i want it as fuel efficient as i can possibly get it. the more knowledge i have the more i will know what to look for. obviously this isnt gonna be a got it right the first time but the closer i can get it right the first time the better off i'll be. thank you for your videos, i really appreciate them and sorry for rambling on and leaving such a long reply.

[@TheOriginalJoeBloggs]

MKIII??

[@christopher_barr]

In the pipeline... (Baby slowing things down though!)

[@seoulkidd1]

make a few sell it on eBay for winter campers

[@christopher_barr]

I'm planning on making some PDF plans and step-by-step build videos so that people can build there own. They are really easy and cheap to build and I can imagine people using them in all sorts of different applications... Cheers , Chris 👍
