Portable rocket oven

[whazzatt]

I needed to make a portable rocket oven.

Here's the result.

I cranked it to over 250 degrees C once, as displayed on the thermometer. Way too hot! I reckon the thermometer displays the temp at the front of the oven, with the back area getting much hotter.

The outer drum is insulated with 50mm ceramic fibre blanket, which is why the wooden stand doesn't burn.

Note that the unit can serve as an oven/heater combo, with a few mods, like removing fibre-blanket, making a metal stand, and painting the outer drum with higher temp 'fire paint'.

ok so the inside is sealed so fibre doesn't get into food, I hope it's stainless steel instead of painted steel.

Looks great!
Where is the exhaust located?
Do you have a deflector over the riser?
Edit: never mind, I saw the other thread.
