Sorry, its not meant as an advert ,I dont think anyone making their own stoves would be buying one of mine, I just wanted to share the work I have been doing with rocket stoves over the years and thought I might have come to a place to discuss issues and solutions we may all have or have answers to, This video although used as a tool for my customers to learn how to light a rocket stove for the first time, I thought might also be of intrest to people trying their own stoves for the first time. not everyone is an expert before they start.
Satamax, I have posted 4 posts, I think flooding might be little excessive ?
I hope not offend but to help share what I have learnt.

Well, we see soo many trolls who come, post a few links to whatever they want to advertise, and then fade away, that it exactly felt like this. Tho, i have nothing to say here, i'm just a guest. On some forums i frequent, this behavior would have resulted in a direct ban. Nevermind mate, welcome here. |

Well.. dkrocketstoves, I don't know how much forum hopping you've done, but there's some pretty obnoxious behavior out there..
Some places get utterly hammered with the craziest shit. After a bit of THAT you can get a little jumpy, especially as a mod.
Some folks feel it's safer to shoot down some innocent just in case he(she) might turn into a problem child.
I'm pretty laid back and will accept some quirky, jerky folks as long as they're contributing to the conversation in some way. We've gotten lucky around here and so far, there's been very few issues.

DK, I find it interesting that you are selling these stoves as rocket stoves. My dad said that he saw you selling them at a steam fair, and he said they work. But insulation is a fundamental part of a rocket stove. As far as I understand it, it isn't a rocket stove unless it has insulation.

peatIn this special case insulation does not make a lot of sense. The surface is relatively smooth and to small to loose a lot heat by convection. Emissivity could be lowered with silvery stove paint, which would also work as a barrier. People are silencing and cooling hard drives in PCs by placing them into the cases of old CD drives, which are tightly stuffed with bitumen. Bitumen is usualy considered to be a quite good insulation, but the increased surface does more than compensate for that.

As for as I know the first "rocket stoves" were insulated with mud. then made from cans then.......We are learning all the time and my design relies on on very presice air flows to gain maximum burn and minimum loss of heat, The air flow inside the stove actually stops a lot of heat transfer, like the hot air blowers above doors in shops. the hot spot is directly below the cooking pot so transmitting most of the heat up to the pot, this design took months of work to get to run this well, as you may know as you build fires smaller things get more critical and the ratios of primary and secondary and time to preheat secondary alter relative to each other to prove the maths I built the smallest I could to see if I could get a clean burn ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4eUorrfsYM ). |
