Hi I have finished this 20cm/8"/ one bell batch box rocket stove.The stove was mostly build out from reclaimed old red bricks /made around 1890/,and the parts above heat riser been made out of new fire bricks.This monster weigh around 4 tuns/8 800 pounds/.The fire chamber width is 33cm/12.99"/,height 44cm/17.32"/ and depth 60cm/23.62"/.The heat riser is 140cm tall /55.11"/.As you can see i had to alter the fire box width slightly because of the measurement of the doors i wanted to use.The other change i have done is the primary air intake to the fire chamber.There are two slots on each side of the fire chamber and the air is coming from underneath the fire chamber.The slots for primary air makes together around 20% of the system size.Right now i don't know the exact ISA ,but ill ad this # next time.There is cast iron white oven inserted in to the bell,and of course a smoke flap to short cut the gasses while starting from cold. For the finnish look the bottom of the stove/the part made out of red bricks/ is all wrap up in Yuta dipped in to some clay.The top has clay plaster and on the end it was all painted with 5 years old Lime. Basically the owner told me he wanted the stove to look like 100 years old,and he is really satisfied with it. I have made first large fire in it,and took some temp measurements ,but i have to go thru it,before posting it here.I just wanna say the fire chamber is capable of burning the full load /14kg-28 pounds/ of dry hard cord wood in 45 min.Same as my experience with 15cm/6"/ and 18cm /7"/systems. Soon ill be back with some temps.here is a link to some picks from the build s101.photobucket.com/user/snake11112/library/. Can someone help me, how to link at least one picks here.THX |

Radek, that is so gorgeous, and it is a MONSTER! Excellent work as always.
For photobucket you can just roll over the little cog in the upper right of each picture, click "get links", then copy the IMG link and paste it in your post here. It's that easy. Thanks for continuing to show your builds, they are inspiring for sure.

Very nice work! It really fits in, looks like it is supposed to be there.
You can turn on "easy linking mode" under the albums tab in your photobucket user settings. Then right underneath every picture there will be the links listed and ready to copy.

Thank you guys for your comments on the stove and for taking me thru the linking the picks .DavidEaks the same thing as you said about fitting in ,said also the parents of my friend.And at that moment i knew ,all is good.
Max thanks for linking the pick in here.
so here are some data from first full fire.The heater had around one month drying, with little fires during the last week.I used the cleaning door above fire chamber for thermometer 1 -the end was at the level of the oven-and the cleaning door right infront of the entrance to chimney for thermometer 2.
The stove was cold when i started smoll fire whitch went for around 10 min with open smoke flap-as short cut- before i loaded the full load of 13kg fully dry hard cord wood.
so at 19.30 pm smoll fire Th1 - 45C Th2 - 37C
19.40 pm smoll fire Th1 - 80C Th2 - 49C
19.40 pm Full load Th1 - 74C Th2-47C the short cut was cloast
19.45 Th1- 142C Th2-46C
19.55 Th1-162C Th2-63C
20.05 Th1-195C Th2-68C
20.12 Th1-221C Th2-67C
20.16 Th1-218C Th2-66C
20.27 Th1-214C Th2-66C
at 20.40pm i added 6kg of same wood on pile of amber
20.40pm Th1-194C Th2-65C
20.48pm Th1-220C Th2-76C
20.55pm Th1-242C Th2-85C
21.00pm Th1-250C Th2-87C
21.10pm Th1-268C Th2-92C
after this two loads the oven top was 220C and the sides 200C
The heater one bell has ISA of 7.45m2 of brick work and about 1m2 of cast iron oven -should be same as 2m2 of brick work i guess.
Im really looking forward to do some testing during the winter time when the stove will be in use for some time.

Hi Lawry,the owner is quite happy about the heater,the temps going in to chimney/during the heating season/ i measured around 100C.When the heater is cold there is a longer start with the smoke flap open,basicaly the top part has to have some heat absorbed .The oven gets to around 250C ,so in one heater i did in spring ,i put the oven a little higher in the bell,to heat it faster to more temps.I will know the difference in winter.
