Alright, planning to build a rocket stove and want to include a boiler as an optional upgrade later on. The insert is built and the top of the riser is a heavy 1/4" removable plate.
Now is it better to build the coils into the top of the riser? This would be the hottest part of the stove without pulling heat from within the riser. Or is it better to wrap the coils around the outer shell of the riser?

Hi mrdman, I don't think it is a good idea to put the coils anywhere inside or around the riser since you will decrease the temperature of the gases inside of it. THe efficiency will be reduced and the rocket will be harder to lit. Is there any space in the "bell" where the gases exit the riser ? You could put your coils there. I've built a contraflow mass heater with a boiler like that and here are the sketchup plans to make it clear : www.oxalis-asso.org/?page_id=3202

Putting coils in the riser will probably lead to spalling. My idea is to put the coils in a bell area, cold inlet at the bottom, hottest part at the top.

Yeah.. Putting coils inside of the riser or even too near the riser is asking for steam, rather than hot water. In the riser will reduce efficiency of the burn itself, so don't do that.
