Not a rocket, but it has a continuous feed of a long log. i81597.wix.com/sprucestoveThe log is horizontal, on roller wheels. Apparently, the user has to push the log into the stove occasionally. |

The door is pretty sweet! No information on the burn chamber though.

.... No information on the burn chamber though. This site has a review of the stove: www.gizmag.com/spruce-stove-log/29863/"....The stove itself features fireproof concrete bricks on the inside, to absorb and radiate heat. It also has steel fins on the outside, to increase its heat-radiating surface area." Still, without an auto-feed, it doesn't seem to have much of an advantage, other than using longer logs. I would think that it would be relatively easy to create a gravity feed, using even a large weight hanging from the ceiling to pull the log in. And of course, employ some "rocket science". One reason for posting it here is a challange to make something more practical. |

It looks like a prop from the War of the Worlds - you might get away with it if the other half is into sci-fi but with the conveyor on the front the WAF (Wife Acceptability Factor) drops to zero!
I agree about the door though... that is neat!
