I have some left oven steel sheets 1,5 mm thick, is it ok to make the firebox with them?
For the riser i was thinking a 2 mm steel sheet rounded and welded so it will last longer, both off them will be insulated with perlite and fire cement mix(11:1 ratio).
Should i go for perlite and cement Only for the BachBox?I know it will be fragile do the cleaning and firings but how much?I could just do the V on the floor with steel so it could last long and use it as a cleaning tray.
What impact will make if i go for a smaller riser and batch box?Do that the height of riser i could go maxes to 970 mm WITH the height of the batch box.

Well, that's heavy. And not super insulative. I don't know what to tell you, as i'm kind of blessed, having access to refractory flues.

I use a 5 to 1 ratios for perlite and firecement, are you sure you are not confising perlite with something else?I have used perlite before and it's sure more light than making the box with, let's say, 3mm metal sheet. I sure could use some refractory flues but you are far....far away!  |

Hi again, do you guys think its ok to Build the Batch box with sheet metal(all even the throat) and just the heat riser with perlite-clay-waterl glass mix?will the batch box withstand the heat?
And what do you think will be ok for a bread oven, a J rocket a L or a Batch box?

Dimitri, metal is doomed, for the pieces in contact with the fire!

Dimitri, metal is doomed, for the pieces in contact with the fire! But how can stoves and fireplace made of metal sheets? I undestand that the heat riser gets hot even at 1200C, but the Batch box gets the same temp? |

Wow...1200 C? The i would go for adobe bricks(with 98% clay soil i found from a brick factory) and with Sodium silicate added on. I guess that will do fine. |

Not overkill, either would work well. Personally I'd go with a J, just because it's well suited to tending fuel while cooking. Μathew i will go with the j rocket finaly. How do i calculate the size of the burn chamber and all? Can i put a secondary intake to? Did some sketching, is this wright in a way of diamensions? rocketstove.skp (107.82 KB) |
