Rocket Stove Heaters

[taff]

so cool, so interesting. I need pics of yours or a video as you build Zaz
I'm already thinking of modifying someones living room to do this

[donnakebab]

I want one too. I have an obsession about getting toasty at the moment. This looks as if it would do the trick. I'll get OH to give it the once over. He's good at stuff like this when he can be bothered to actually finish the job.

The idea certainly looks good and yes AP with the right amount of air the flames will be drawn into the flueway.

One thing they don't mention though is where is all that air coming from, somewhere there has to big a large vent to outside and that will give a chilling factor in the room you are trying to heat.

Nothing to prevent you ducting IN the necessary air direct from outside, if you choose your location right. There are plenty of 'underfloor draught' fireplaces, you just need a suitable variant, and perhaps put the outlet to the greenhouse, to 'feed' the carbon dioxide to your tomato plants...

Now to read the rest of the thread.....

Hmmmmm.
Want one.
I was going to build one of these but....
DIY wood burner Pot Belly Stove. made from a gas tank

Don't know?

I'm on the mark two version of a gas bottle stove now! First one was ok but I built a mark 2 version which was bigger with the biggest bottle you can get! Toploading too which means I can stick 2 foot lengths of fence posts in, drop the lid and put the kettle on.
Keeps me nice and toasty warm when I'm pottering in the greenhouse.................but I still fancy the challenge of building a rocket stove in the future!

Being honest, I think I saw a post on here were they had a budgie cage in the green house.
Pretty you're that was you snadger

I have been toying with the idea for a green house heater but am thinking the rocket might take too much space.
I will have to wait until I have an internet connection to be able to see the videos.

I've pinched this idea for the hut at the lottie .......at the moment we have a fire in an old oil drum but the room gets really smokey.......

The exhaust pipe goes under the bed that you want to keep warm. When you can, watch the greenhouse video.

You need to cut a hole in the roof where the icicles were then binners................

No - not in the roof! It goes out further down the wall.

Make a Simple Solar Air Heater - Solar

Might do it again so the shed is a little warm when I get round to building my mansion
