Hello Peterberg, thank you for all the pubication about rockets!

As you can see on the pictures the core is under the oven and isolated with superwool and aerated concrete. The oven is on a metal frame and is isolated with rockwool and aerated concrete. There is a hole in the floor of the oven for the gas evacuation. We tried baking bread a few time and it works.
But we want to make it better so it uses less wood. We would like to ask you a few technical questions :
- With the advice of Yasin Gash we reduced the gap between the top of the riser and the top of the bell from 30cm to 24cm as he does it in his batch block. What do you think about it ? Is it ok on a batch rocket ?
- The riser should be between 92mm and 115mm for a batch rocket 160mm. Ours is a luke3v8 (there is a half octagon at the bottom of the riser) and measures 109mm. We are wondering if the gas would enter the bell/oven at a higher temperature if we reduced it to the minimum.
- We chose the batch rocket core as the gas come out hotter in the bell than in the batch block. Do you think the "shorty" is even hotter? Are there flames coming out of the exit port? We think the hottest place of the shorty is at the top of the riser and not at the exit port but maybe we are wrong. Our goal is that the hottest gas hit the sealing of the oven/bell.
- The bell/oven is in bricks but we are wondering if the floor would heat up faster if the bell/oven was in metal.
We are french, we built a few stoves inspired by batch blocks and batch rockets. We are trying to build a bread oven with a core who is a batch rocket 160mm and the bell as our oven.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thank you for reading us!
