I love you videos… I wish I lived close to you. I'd probably try to come help you (free labor) every day after work. Lol Question: is there a reason you didn't weld completely around the wood supply areas. I see one gap on the top side and the sides on the bottom where the ashtray is. Love this stove and will be building it soon. But I wanted to ask questions before I welded it solid and screwed it up.
I'm a boilermaker that's been in the trade for over 30 years all I'm going to say is this guy is pretty bloody good I honestly think you are not dual trade you are triple trade add boilermaker as well mate .Thats some of the best plasma cutting if ever seen free hand with massive thick chalk lines and your welding is pretty good as well.So Can This Guy Weld Yes
I really didn't think that the draft from the flue would be that good, but I was pleasantly surprised. I guess that you could pipe the exhaust outside without any problems as well.
Nice build…. But to me, there's something missing. Nearly every rocket stove I've seen built has a fundamental flaw, not in the design of the body of the stove or the build, they're all great. It's a misunderstanding of the principal of how a rocket stove operates and the benefits of a correctly operating one.
The concept of a 'J' tube was to cut down on smoke when cooking using wood as a fuel. Rural Indian households would traditionally use an open fire for cooking, the smoke issued led to high levels of lung disease. Using a J tube led to better combustion and cut down on smoke. The rocket stove advanced this idea so that the exhaust gases would have almost no particulates. This is achieved by extremely high combustion temps. To achieve this, maximum draw is used, the combustion chamber is insulated and the first part of the stack is lagged. This is to retain as much heat in the combustion chamber and stack to achieve fast and total combustion of the fuel. The exhaust gas is what is used for heating, rather than the body of the stove. Hence the sound of the running stove and the adoption of the word 'rocket'. Designs for space heating sometimes incorporate a barrel that sits over the body of the stove and stack, the exhaust outlet can exit the side horizontally because the draw for the combustion is created by the extremely hot stack inside. The best rocket stoves have a ceramic chamber a thin walled insulated ceramic stack because this part needs to heat quickly for ease of starting the combustion and achieving a draw quickly. If the stack is simply vented normally without the barrel chamber, the draw will tend to happen naturally, but if covered by a barrel as used in a mass heater, then the draw needs to develop quickly. Hope this is useful 👍
Very interested in your work. Thinking about alternative ways to heat the chill Pommie home I was wondering if anyone had ever to reproduce the simplistic method used by the Swedish Admiralty in the 19th century? They had a furnace to heat cannonballs and red hot cannonballs were carried around the admiralty building and positioned in holders to provide heat in the various offices. It occurs to me that a system like that with an efficient rocket stove at the core could avoid the issues with in-house installation and flues etc. Yes cannonballs are hard to come by these days… but a foot length of railway track might be a handy alternative. There could be one in the stove and one in the house, swapping them over then it cools.
So I'm trying something. Instead of attempting to talk my husband into building one of these, I'm just going to casually watch the video where he can see it until he gets interested on his own and takes off.
Good speach man! So nice of you to carry on the family tradition. Doing the thing you like for a living, it's huge. Keep up the good work. All the best!!!
Hi this is Raymond from Scotland. Can I pick your brains. I am building a stove same as your shop heater and can only get 4” box section do I use the same sizes for the Venturi vortex or do I take a third of your sizes as mines is only 4 inch box. Keep up the great videos Regards Raymond
Good luck with this new business. I am 70 and thinking on starting me a small craftey business. But any way God's speed on this adventure keep me in touch
Hi, bought plans for the stove, missing size of the hole between burner and riser, also diamension for the pipe welded to the bottom of the riser. Look like something missing in the plans.
155-100…. I'm sorry to be disrespectful, especially with this likely being my first video of yours, but it truly amazes me that many people who work with metal just don't seem comfortable with numbers. I'm sure it's different with yourself though, dealing with the recording process throughout
Good luck on your new venture!
Great job mate and good on you for supporting local industry.
I have been building a “rocket grill” and I’ve watched a lot of your videos for inspiration. Here is a video of the first fire; https://youtu.be/E09wJqmprfg and this is how it ended up looking; https://youtu.be/7lhbH2cRedM
I got the same linc 180c,
nice work anyway, gotta love rocket stoves is always a million ways to make one 🙂
Neat,but needs a proper chimney. You don’t want carbon dioxide poisoning
Nice job! Heading to your website to buy one!

Hi Frank.
love your channel! explain< explain! I get what your doing! green horns don't. more info will go far mate!
This is DIY for really specific values of Y.

Check out pulse detonation heaters – really efficient

Awesome build! Very well made!!
The soap guy needs a website.
"Now I have to start making money" …ignores plenty of risks at work to bet all of the potential income. Use protective gear, mate.
Excellent Job done 🙂
Hello are you working on any new types of stoves
There's a heater called a smudge pot . Something you would consider putting your version of?
that looks like it works amazing.
This project looks awesome, when can we see it in action?
Thanks Sir.🤑

I'll report back with the results.
Only 2 tricks to make it in the engineering industry……….have your own product and don't send work out.
Your cat can kill FRANK'S offspring when he has a family /
you rock little aussi !!
Those welds are beautiful.
What species is prank ?
Good speach man! So nice of you to carry on the family tradition. Doing the thing you like for a living, it's huge. Keep up the good work. All the best!!!
When one loves what one does one never works a day in his life. PERIOD !!!!!!
херове відео бо мене нецікавить полумя від горіння дров

I was sure there was going to be a big rat in that box. The possum was a nice surprise.

So now what 6-in exhaust flu piping out the roof?
Hi mate, just subscribed to your channel, one question, "Do you always work this fast?"
Hi, bought plans for the stove, missing size of the hole between burner and riser, also diamension for the pipe welded to the bottom of the riser. Look like something missing in the plans.
Hello, is it okay if I take out a 3 inch pipe from the side for smoke?

The burn pit and the angle pulling the flame in very nice. Probably be able to burn for a while before cleaning
Is this safe to use on a enclosed shop?
