Would be a lot easier to see what's going on in there if you had an old piece of stove glass to use for the top cover.

Latest test, port reduced to 54x220mm Firebox deepened. Top lit, on a mix of hardwood and softwood. 18.54h Lighting. 18.56, drafting straight away duh, no video! 19h18 had been smokeless for a good 15 minutes. 19.28, pulsating a bit. 19.54 an hour after startup No P channel yet. But i think it is really promising  |

well this is usefull as it uses less space, its like a j-tube with a port.
I don't know what temps it gets compared to a horizontal firebox where heat naturally accumulates.

Looks very promising, Max.
Top loading, hot cooktop, nice rams horn, no smoke, nice view - does everything you wanted.

Orange, well, i hope it's better than a J tube. The first thing is ability to load it and forget it, instead of the tending of a J and the load is bigger. Looks very promising, Max. Top loading, hot cooktop, nice rams horn, no smoke, nice view - does everything you wanted. Well, i have one problem. Heat riser will be too close to the front. As is, for the moment, i wouldn't be able to do a double layer of bricks on edge, for the bell. Which is kind of the plan. |

Hi guys. This core doesn't seem to raise any interest, or barely.
I really think it has potential.
But if you think otherwise, i would like to know.
Thanks.
Max.

it's hot summer right now, I think most ppl are cooling down instead of building heaters |

Similar idea. But no slow burn for me. I wonder what numbers Ppoty's stove can have. What i wanted is a top load with a port, instead of a J. I wanted the fast burning of a batch. And no need to do kindlings, like you have to do with a J There's F styles mag rocket, which is along this line too. permies.com/t/54074/Rocket-Mag-heater-Rocket-Mag |

Maybe I wrote it already some time ago, but it doesn't hurt to mention it again.
In order to work properly, the port in your vertical batch should be in the riser's wall, not in the feed tube's wall. In other words, at the end of the burn tunnel. This way, the necessary 90º turn is directly behind the port, the only right spot in order to induce the double vortex or fire fountain.

Duh, Peter, you got me lost!
Well, it is not a J tube, the back of the firebox is also the front of the heat riser. It is really close to your DSR turned 90°. There is one detail which is real different, the flame path in your DSR, goes back to the front from the port. Here, if it did that, it would go back down. I choosed to use a heat riser, and have the flame going up. I have prepared a P channel, and will do a test with this. Then if it works well, i will make a riser with the superwool. Only prob so far, i can't line the chamber behind the port with it yet. Too tight. It will be adressed in the final build.
But please check the videos on my youtube channel or above in the post, the ram horns seem to develop quite well.
