Hello guys . Hello guys yesterday I finished my new Rocket Stove. I had a simple rocket stove but I wanted something bigger and better so I decided to make a new one.I worked hard because I really need it . I m often going for camping , fishing and this stove is useful for me especially for fishing!!!
In the feature I will make some accessories so give me your ideas.
Enjoy it!!

I always wondered; what good is a rocket stove? You can't really use them for heating a dwelling or a tent because they burn fuel to rapidly. They do give out a lot of heat, but very quickly. A guy would be up all night feeding the darn thing just to stay warm. I do like your design because it's for cooking. I would think it would get the job done quickly and would not take to long to cool down. I also like the rectangular cooking surface. Buy the way sir, what time is dinner?
I think I would have made the bars for the grill flush with the top so it would be easier to use a pan or pot that is bigger than the rim of your grill.Quote:

This statement is false. Have a look on google for "cockle rocket stove" and you will find examples of rocket stoves that have been built for home heating. Not only that - there is even one guy who has measured and quantified the heat output of his rocket stove, coming to the conclusion that it is the most efficient way to extract heat out of fuel to heat a home! I have even seen a Youtube video (from a Russian) who heated his tent (pitched in 10 or 20cm of snow, somewhere in the Urals) with a variant of a rocket stove!Quote:

For PowerMK, efficient conversion of fuel heat from high to low temperature is not much of a concern, portability of his stove, and thus light weight, is. Thus his design is in steel. For house heating, portability is unimportant, but efficient conversion is, as long as a uniform temperature output - not a uniform heat output- is obtained. Thus, the design of a rocket stove for house heating will be very different from the one presented here by PowerMK.
The first design target for domestic (urban) heating is low environmental emissions. This can be realized if the fire burns at around 1000oC, as near this temperature carbon burns to CO2, not the toxic CO. Particulates (Smoke!) are only produced if the temperature is much lower, and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) will be produced only if temperatures are much higher.
The second design target is heat output. If the furnace temperature inside has to be 1000oC for environmental reasons, and the furnace outside no more than, say, 50oC, for safety reasons, then the size of the furnace chamber is determined, for a given heat output, by the surface area of the furnace and the thermal conductivity of the furnace walls, and the total conversion efficiency by the ratio of (heat in the flue gas) divided by (heat emitted through furnace surfaces).
The third design target is heat transfer rate, i.e. the change in outer furnace surface temperature over time. As this is controlled commonly by building thick furnace walls, alternative names for cockle furnace are masonry furnace, Kachelofen, Finnish or Russian Stove.
The fourth design target is air flow inside the furnace, and here the Rocket Stove principle shines, because it produces a highly turbulent gas flow, moving fresh oxygen more quickly to the fuel than do other designs, heating the inside very quickly. But because it takes a long time (up to 24 hours, on some designs) for the heat to move through the thick walls and heat the house, it does not matter how long the fire lasts. It only matters how much fuel was burned, and how much heat this fuel transferred to the furnace walls, as it is the heat stored in the furnace walls that heats the house.
Heat content for fuels is:
Wood: 4-4.5 kWh/kg
Coal: 7.8-9.8 kWh/kg
Fuel oil: 12 kWh/kg
Well excuse the hell out of me! Next time I need heating advice, I will contact you.
Yes its need feeding to keep the fire but if you try different type of wood you can improve the duration I use oak,yew and olive . This stove its useful to cook something fast. Thank you very much. Everytime is for dinner so tell me your favorite food...Quote:

It should have read "and the total conversion efficiency by (heat emitted through furnace surfaces) divided by the (heat stored in the fuel burned), i.e. (heat used for heating the house) divided by (heat supplied as fuel). Heat that goes out through the flue is wasted - unless you consider it as the energy that moves oxygen into the furnace to maintain combustion and combustion gases out through the flue.Quote:

By the way that meal at the end look to be fantastic.
