Helllllllo everyone
First thanks for accepting me here and for your time and patience if i m asking questions which could look stupid
I have to say i m very fascinated with all these things and i m searching for a new way to change my actual cooking station
I found these rocket stove very interesting and wanted to explore
So i made many researches and finally i made a plan to change my actual cooking station but also to add a system of heating my house after it
Here is the idea (system is in meters)

Now here are all my questions
Most of them come from the case that i don t find real plans nowhere with measures etc...
The fact is, i love to know and plan before making and seeing it s not working hahahah![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
There is a lot of schemes about rocket stoves but nowhere i found actual real temperatures either
Sooooo...
1) Opening of the wood box
I used 20cm2 for putting wood. i feel i can put some good big wood parts like this which can burn for long
Do you feel that s enough or too big ?
2) Air opening
As you can see on the upper part, i was thinking to put a door for air passage that i could close or not.
i don t see it in all rocket stove plans. Is it useful ?
3) Tube opening
I decided to use 20cm2 for the tubes (all of them, even for the wood)
Does it seems good enough ? Too big ? Too small ?
4) Temperature on thermal mass (end tube)
So what is the temperature to expect (more or less) on the thermal mass ? I think 140 right ?
I plan to have a tube of 6 meter long running into my house before going to the chimney
Would it be enough to heat the house ?
5) Length of the J
On my plan, i made a J length of 1.5m (0.6m + 0.9m up)
Is that enough to burn the gazes well ?
6) Temperature end of J
What temperature could i expect at the end of the J (for the first cooking part) ?
Around 350 ?
7) Cleaning
Rarely i see where are the opening for cleaning the ashes. Because let s be honest, there ll be ashes
But where ? I would say in the J and the oven part, but what about the thermal mass tube ?
Should i make also some openings there ?
8) Oven
I was thinking i could use a refractory bricks oven instead of a metal
In that case i would have to change my plans to make the cooking station bigger. Not only 1.1m but more 1.3m long
The oven then would keep the heat for long even without fire, right ?
That s all for beginning
Thanks a lot for your helps![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
