We have been burning wood in a forced air wood furnace in our garage for 30 years. Recommendation: clean your chimney with a chimney brush EVERY year, ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS. ALWAYS replaced pipes that have ANY sign of deterioration. Also use only COMPLETELY dry wood that has been stored at least a year in sheltered storage. Lastly, every spring, when you are done burning, cover your chimney at the top with a pail to prevent rain from entering the chimney all summer long. As always, I wish you only the best!!! Love you guys!
Good advice! But I'd add, place a good screen over it in the summer, to prevent birds and the like, from getting into your house in the warmer months. We found out the hard way, lol! Several years ago, we were hearing noises, so we went to the basement(where our woodstove is) and hubby heard the sound coming from the stove. Well, he opened it up and a bird came flying out. We had a hell of a time trying to get the bird before our 9 cats could. The bird was flying around and the cats were chasing it, and it was shitting all through the house, and we were trying not to step in it, along with preventing our cats from stepping in it too. It was freed once we caught it. It's comical as hell thinking about it now, lol! 🤣
@@GOGOSLIFE It's comical when it's over, haha, but I guess it was not funny at all, when it was happening! 😅Nice memory, thanks for sharing with us, made me laugh! 😂🤣
When I first started burning wood I always ran it wide open for 15 minutes after it caught good and you could hear the creosote falling down inside the chimney, so I just had to clean out at the bottom of the chimney. I've never had a chimney fire doing it that way, but one winter I forgot about cleaning it out and I had a basket ball size of creosote burning red hot down there, and had to wait until it was extinguished before removing it little water after it cooled down some an I was able to grab it with thick leather gloves. Started cleaning my chimney with a brush after that it was a little scary.
Glad to see your getting it all sorted look forward to your videos always interesting and the video editing is very professional keep well and safe Regards Steve UK London
There’s puppy helping Daddy building the rocket stove. God guided you both to this loving puppy miracles do happen if you believe. All your animals are so well adjusted and loved …
Yep that stoves working good now but I think your going to need a bigger one soon when you try to add a water heating system to it .that firebox is a bit small to do that much work unless your willing to spent a lot of time feeding the stove .I hope you prove me wrong though .I can hardly believe it's been 2 years now .
You can put gravel / crushed rock on top of the barrel to help hold and distribute the heat. You are putting a lot of trust and faith in that sealant caulk that you are using, I hope you have a good smoke/carbon monoxide detector, as I don't think that stuff will last forever.
Their door is connected to the house so it definitely helps them plus the chimney pipe heats their place very well, was thinking to add some sort of heat exchanger to heat their house while the fire is going.
Very happy I found your channel brother. I too enjoy building stoves..right now my focus is small back pack stoves..but I have one I build for our little cabin with hot water coil like you mentioned to heat the floors an our hot water tank for to wash with. I am excited to see your build. It is a very nice build you have done a great job! This is encouraging to see young men with the good mind set to provide heat an comfort to there families many young men are not so thoughtful an it is very good to see use of the intellect for good purposes!
Looking back when you first start the rocket stove I had never heard of this and was worried for the carbon or it not working…. But hear you are upgrading and doing a great job, plus I love its look, a proper mechanical machine with lots of character . I would love a heated towel rail. Stay safe stay well xx xxx
I used to have issues with getting the smoke messing up my heating stove window until I learned to open the door long enough to get the smoke stack/or chimney hot enough to draw the heat -smoke up and out. keep experimenting if the stove and all is hot enough if you can close the door. I enjoy your videos--just wished I was younger and do some of the pioneering things all over again--I did that before "google- and video cameras--but when technology came around I embraced at least some of it.--Wishing you a great holiday season.
Seems like a job well done, glad to see you have heating😊 I don’t really understand how it works, does it heat the rest of the house through the walls? We prefer using the other stoves around here, made of terracotta tiles, they keep warm a lot longer than the metal ones but yours would be better if it works as a central heating unit. Interested in this with the current prices for energy and gas.
@@DoBeDiff when you were restoring the walls, in your older videos from the farm, I noticed they had built- in flutes/gaps in them and they had signs of ash/burning, I thought it was like an old type of central heating but I couldn’t figure out how you’d make the hot air circulate through the walls without pumping it somehow. I must have seen wrong.😁 You mentioned in the video about turning the rocket stove into a central hot water service, yup, that part was clear and I hope it works well.
@@lidijabirsa7768 he means to turn the stove into a central heating unit that would distribute hot water through radiators and to the taps around the house. Whay kind of heating do you use in Canada, not central heating units? They can of course run on gas, electricity or solid fuel (wood, coal, wood chips) I thought you’d use the same types given it’s pretty cold there.

A radiator takes heat away from the stove. This stove will not run radiators, it is to small. A chimney for a stove runs better with a straight chimney. The more bends the less draw. The hotter the chimney the better the stove will burn. It will make the fuel last longer. It will not draw as aggressive. The air intake above the door is to clear smoke from the glass. Air from beneath is better, especially if air is drawn from outside, instead of drawing hot air from the room. That oil drum is dangerous, it will rot. You should use insulated pipe on the outside so the chimney runs hot. A cold chimney will block up in no time, and cause it to block. The creasotes stick to it!

I’m glad you know what your doing because I would be lost. Do you know why your wood prices are so much higher this year? Best of luck and Happy Holidays!
The electric prices are 10x up so people switched back to stoves and wood fire which increased the demand and made the prices skyrocket over 5 times in two years. But now we have a solution to cut wood at my aunt's property and this is solves everything. 😁
Hi I'm from the furthest north part of Michigan n our wood prices went up too ,and alot of people switched from fuel oil to propane because that went up also. But glad to see you younger people doing the wood stoves, I've done it for years now I use it for backup or if it gets too cold. I was planning on making a rocket stove seen so many different ones I bought square tubing from a scrap yard and a welder, but just too old and arthritis really bad I can barely do certain things. Well my son's can take over for me just got to draw up some plans! Keep up the good work and God bless you both!
Awesome build! Love these stoves! Very cool to see a conversion like this! Never seen anyone do the conversion to take a regular wood stove an make it rocket! Great job!
Your work can be successful in that you have increased the heat transfer capability of the hot smoke coming from the stove into the barrel. The smoke coming out of the stove is probably around 300 degrees Celsius, and we could determine the result if we also knew the temperature of the smoke entering the chimney. In the case of my new type of stove, the smoke entering the chimney is always between 120-150 degrees C, even if I put 50 kilos of wood into the firebox at the same time. Of course, my fireplace is bigger, 60x70x120 cm. This way, I can put in meter-long firewood without having to cut it into small pieces. The main thing for me is the possibility of extracting the heat from the smoke and storing it, which means that the combustion in the stove only needs to be started every 24-48 hours. Only in extreme cold, -7- -15 degrees C, etc. must be heated daily, and thus an area of 120 m2 is heated. I can only heat more if I remove the heat with air heating or through a buffer tank in the case of central heating. It would be nice if you could measure the temperature of the smoke entering the chimney, then we would know more about your work.
I will get a laser temperature device and make a update video with exact details. I do want to install heat exchanger for central heating but I don't think I will be able to heat a large accumulation tank if any at all. It all depends how hot the radiators get and how fast. I am excited about this project and if It fails I will get a proper wood boiler maybe automatic wood chip boiler would be great! 😀
@@DoBeDiff I tried three simple options for temperature measurement. One is the infrared thermometer, the other is the bimetallic furnace thermometer built into the flue, and the third is the magnetic thermometer that can be placed on the flue. It is worth using two of the latter and then you can see how much heat you can save before entering the chimney. Creating a heat storage (heat exchanger) is the real big challenge, because there are many options. It is very difficult to reduce 300 degrees C to 120 degrees C, because the smoke leaves the apartment quickly. The advanced measurement option is a probe that measures the emission values of the flue gases and the heat, as well as the amount of flue gas, and we see the data graphically on a computer continuously during the heating cycle. There is a chance for change. Good luck with the project.
Just so many adjustments and changes, but it is coming together nicely. Hopefully when you're done it will work exactly how you wanted it to. Thankfully you have done a really good job 👍.
Fair play you got it working. Glad you addressed the unsealed bottom of the barrel thing as I couldn't understand that. There's a risk it will smoke on start up but I assume it's drawing in air and out with exhaust. Someone below mentioned sand for mass, it's something I've been looking into and planning to play with in terms of heat storage, I have an old wood powered water boiler kicking around that will do nicely.
Yeah I was thinking of putting pipes in the barrel have so thick old water lines and they are 70mm wide so good for filling with sand and to store some heat to release slowly. But main plan to add heat exchanger and heat few radiators and hot water.
looking good, perhaps for the secondary air use a 20mm ish size, stainless pipe either from the bottom or the side, preferably just at the tip of the flame, this is the reason for stainless, it can handle temperature, a pipe with loads of holes around 5mm, should do, say twenty holes. then pass the pipe out of the stove to a valve, gas ball valve wok well, so you can fine tune secondary air, once secondary air is added the vents on front may be enough.. you could still reduce actual size of fire, a rocket stove tuned right can produce a lot of heat for almost nothing, here is something im working on, actual fire is around 60 mm, yet im getting around 4.5 kw of heat, for just under a litre of wood pellets an hour.. trying to get into production, were all small fish in a big pond.. ruclips.net/video/i75uwJYIw1o/видео.html
Yeah I need to work with the secondary air. But today I was looking and had wood chips in which where just glowing and giving off gas and the rocket stove rise had a loud strong flame in it so it definitely works great at gasification! I want to know how well will it heat radiators and hot water and if I can store some heat in accumulation tank. Your stove looks great very nice burn. Would such a design work with small wood chips. My chipper produces small slices instead of bulky chips so easy for gravity feed. I am looking to buy a auger with 2rpm to feed the wood chips might be a good automatic addon for the stove. 🤔
Heat extractors in the stovepipe can cool the smoke enough that it can’t draw up the chimney. They can also increase soot build up. If your rocket stove can work around those problems good job!
I get the idea behind the efficiency of a rocket stove mass heater, but would you really want a big barrel in your living room? Probably not. I mean I like the idea of an old fashion fireplace in the living room but not an old barrel.
Hi guys, I'm sure you guys probably know this but ideally your moisture consent should be no more than 20% less would be better, the less tar you accumulate the better and less chance of your chimney going on fire.
Yeah for 2 years we burned only compressed wood briquets and they are 10-15% moisture so they burn very clean this year we are using more of scrap wood so unsure of the moisture, I want to buy a moisture tester to check all the wood.
My opinion. Modern stoves are better. They burn clean and hot with blue flames. I can put very large pieces of wood that burn all night. Also are a lot safer than the duct pipe you’re using because they use stove pipe and chimney pipes. To know the difference use google. Many houses burned down because they used duct pipes instead of purpose made pipes for wood stoves.
Be very careful, you need isolated flue on the outside to keep the flue hot. A hot flue runs better. A cold chimney will not draw efficiently, and creasotes will stick to the flue and block. Air should be drawn from under the stove, the air intake above the door is to blow air over the glass to keep it clear. A boiler takes heat away from the stove. This will not run radiators, it is too small. A flue should be straight, with maybe one bend at the back, or a gradual bend. You should not have more intakes, that is dangerous. Only use the intake from the bottom. This is dangerous. And the carbon monoxide kills! Use the stove as designed, and use insulation on the flues. A hot flue with one bend out of the back will make this stove run hot. Use the fire board to line the stove, and use the baffle plate!
Is there a reason you did not put the stove closer to the center of the living space. It would make heat distribution better and the chimney would go through your attic, thus not be a “ugly” stack outside that could be damaged by wind/ the weather?
Just the arrangement and the space it takes up! Pretty much where we have a desk and a TV would have to be empty because of the heat it produces, where we have it now is not usable space for furniture. The external chimney isn't looking great but we will change it in few years!
No they help the barrel get hotter since the bricks help the fire get hotter and not let the smoke cool down as fast. Overall the stove works very great 😁
It took few days to get the heat back up since the room cooled down too much making everything in the room cold. But now we are keeping comfortable temperatures till the morning 😊
To make it better you should get an 8 inch metal pipe, cap 1 end, cut it along the length and weld both halves to the side of the drum open end up. Now fill the 2 half pipes with sand and once the fire goes out the sand will release heat into the space.
The rocket stove Im making is very similar ( not so fancy) I've got a 2nd barrel on top of first to heat/boil water, and a third barrel that flue passes through and is pizza oven. Mine is for burning wood pellets , good job.
Sounds interesting! I am planning to add heat exchanger to heat the rest of the house and hot water! Hopefully it produces enough heat to get the radiators hot enough! But it's worth a try and anyways the central heating system will be setup and ready for any boiler I want to use. But a pizza oven sounds great I have seen some rocket stove pizza ovens and they work great!
It's a challenge to get radiators to heat if using convection, helps if tank and raids are above heat source, but u may need electric circulation pump .
@@anthonymason912 I have circulation pump. I have already bought everything just need to renovate the storage room to set it all up. Plus accumulation tank and new boiler for hot water!
Yes and this safety is unnecessary if you manage your stove. Have you seen any brick stove having a gap, even the dampers in Depo for brick stoves are fully sealing. Our clay pot stove seals fully and if you close it too soon it smokes. This new safety feature is dummy proof but is cooling down the house and the stove a lot. Since installing the new damper the stove stays hot till morning keeping the room warmer.
I have added bricks since is was getting a lot hotter than expected, it wasn't untouchable but definitely too hot. So now with bricks they absorb the heat and keep the floor a lot cooler. 😁
I ordered them online! When everything was lockdown and only businesses where allowed in non essential stores. Weird times, so had to order online with no description of material but getting a company that ships a whole set of chimney for reasonable price was hard. But anyways I learned it the hard way never to order such things online.

Never seen anyone do the conversion to take a regular wood stove an make it rocket! Great job!
Your work can be successful in that you have increased the heat transfer capability of the hot smoke coming from the stove into the barrel. The smoke coming out of the stove is probably around 300 degrees Celsius, and we could determine the result if we also knew the temperature of the smoke entering the chimney.
In the case of my new type of stove, the smoke entering the chimney is always between 120-150 degrees C, even if I put 50 kilos of wood into the firebox at the same time. Of course, my fireplace is bigger, 60x70x120 cm. This way, I can put in meter-long firewood without having to cut it into small pieces. The main thing for me is the possibility of extracting the heat from the smoke and storing it, which means that the combustion in the stove only needs to be started every 24-48 hours. Only in extreme cold, -7- -15 degrees C, etc. must be heated daily, and thus an area of 120 m2 is heated. I can only heat more if I remove the heat with air heating or through a buffer tank in the case of central heating.
It would be nice if you could measure the temperature of the smoke entering the chimney, then we would know more about your work.
I will get a laser temperature device and make a update video with exact details. I do want to install heat exchanger for central heating but I don't think I will be able to heat a large accumulation tank if any at all. It all depends how hot the radiators get and how fast. I am excited about this project and if It fails I will get a proper wood boiler maybe automatic wood chip boiler would be great! 😀
@@DoBeDiff I tried three simple options for temperature measurement. One is the infrared thermometer, the other is the bimetallic furnace thermometer built into the flue, and the third is the magnetic thermometer that can be placed on the flue. It is worth using two of the latter and then you can see how much heat you can save before entering the chimney. Creating a heat storage (heat exchanger) is the real big challenge, because there are many options. It is very difficult to reduce 300 degrees C to 120 degrees C, because the smoke leaves the apartment quickly. The advanced measurement option is a probe that measures the emission values of the flue gases and the heat, as well as the amount of flue gas, and we see the data graphically on a computer continuously during the heating cycle. There is a chance for change. Good luck with the project.
just discovered you guys love it!
Can you make one for me, please?
Just so many adjustments and changes, but it is coming together nicely. Hopefully when you're done it will work exactly how you wanted it to. Thankfully you have done a really good job 👍.
Fair play you got it working. Glad you addressed the unsealed bottom of the barrel thing as I couldn't understand that. There's a risk it will smoke on start up but I assume it's drawing in air and out with exhaust. Someone below mentioned sand for mass, it's something I've been looking into and planning to play with in terms of heat storage, I have an old wood powered water boiler kicking around that will do nicely.
Yeah I was thinking of putting pipes in the barrel have so thick old water lines and they are 70mm wide so good for filling with sand and to store some heat to release slowly. But main plan to add heat exchanger and heat few radiators and hot water.
looking good, perhaps for the secondary air use a 20mm ish size, stainless pipe either from the bottom or the side, preferably just at the tip of the flame, this is the reason for stainless, it can handle temperature, a pipe with loads of holes around 5mm, should do, say twenty holes. then pass the pipe out of the stove to a valve, gas ball valve wok well, so you can fine tune secondary air, once secondary air is added the vents on front may be enough.. you could still reduce actual size of fire, a rocket stove tuned right can produce a lot of heat for almost nothing, here is something im working on, actual fire is around 60 mm, yet im getting around 4.5 kw of heat, for just under a litre of wood pellets an hour.. trying to get into production, were all small fish in a big pond.. ruclips.net/video/i75uwJYIw1o/видео.html
Yeah I need to work with the secondary air. But today I was looking and had wood chips in which where just glowing and giving off gas and the rocket stove rise had a loud strong flame in it so it definitely works great at gasification! I want to know how well will it heat radiators and hot water and if I can store some heat in accumulation tank. Your stove looks great very nice burn. Would such a design work with small wood chips. My chipper produces small slices instead of bulky chips so easy for gravity feed. I am looking to buy a auger with 2rpm to feed the wood chips might be a good automatic addon for the stove. 🤔
@@DoBeDiff pellets will flow in a 50mm pipe at 45 degrees under its own weight.. gravity! no need for power supply then.. keep going
Heat extractors in the stovepipe can cool the smoke enough that it can’t draw up the chimney.
They can also increase soot build up.
If your rocket stove can work around those problems good job!
I bet that is toasting warm. :)
I am amazed at all the skills you have at such a young age. I enjoy all your projects and antics. You are a cute couple.
Good monnii
Despina, you're in good hands with Deivids. He's the man!

I get the idea behind the efficiency of a rocket stove mass heater, but would you really want a big barrel in your living room? Probably not. I mean I like the idea of an old fashion fireplace in the living room but not an old barrel.
Hi guys, I'm sure you guys probably know this but ideally your moisture consent should be no more than 20% less would be better, the less tar you accumulate the better and less chance of your chimney going on fire.
Yeah for 2 years we burned only compressed wood briquets and they are 10-15% moisture so they burn very clean this year we are using more of scrap wood so unsure of the moisture, I want to buy a moisture tester to check all the wood.
Awesome
My opinion. Modern stoves are better. They burn clean and hot with blue flames. I can put very large pieces of wood that burn all night. Also are a lot safer than the duct pipe you’re using because they use stove pipe and chimney pipes. To know the difference use google. Many houses burned down because they used duct pipes instead of purpose made pipes for wood stoves.
Brīnišķīgi! Jādomā, ka tagad kursies, kā nākas.
Be very careful, you need isolated flue on the outside to keep the flue hot. A hot flue runs better. A cold chimney will not draw efficiently, and creasotes will stick to the flue and block. Air should be drawn from under the stove, the air intake above the door is to blow air over the glass to keep it clear. A boiler takes heat away from the stove. This will not run radiators, it is too small. A flue should be straight, with maybe one bend at the back, or a gradual bend. You should not have more intakes, that is dangerous. Only use the intake from the bottom. This is dangerous. And the carbon monoxide kills! Use the stove as designed, and use insulation on the flues. A hot flue with one bend out of the back will make this stove run hot. Use the fire board to line the stove, and use the baffle plate!
Is there a reason you did not put the stove closer to the center of the living space. It would make heat distribution better and the chimney would go through your attic, thus not be a “ugly” stack outside that could be damaged by wind/ the weather?
Just the arrangement and the space it takes up! Pretty much where we have a desk and a TV would have to be empty because of the heat it produces, where we have it now is not usable space for furniture. The external chimney isn't looking great but we will change it in few years!
I love your trouble shooting skills.
Wow that fire draws well
Just a thought those heat resistant bricks in the barrel are they stopping heat coming through to the external barrel
No they help the barrel get hotter since the bricks help the fire get hotter and not let the smoke cool down as fast. Overall the stove works very great 😁
you look bundled up, so when the stove was firing, did it keep you warm?
It took few days to get the heat back up since the room cooled down too much making everything in the room cold. But now we are keeping comfortable temperatures till the morning 😊
To make it better you should get an 8 inch metal pipe, cap 1 end, cut it along the length and weld both halves to the side of the drum open end up. Now fill the 2 half pipes with sand and once the fire goes out the sand will release heat into the space.
Yeah was thinking about something like that how to add sand into the barrel might be some ways we could do it. 🤔
Good job, keep up the good work!
The rocket stove Im making is very similar ( not so fancy) I've got a 2nd barrel on top of first to heat/boil water, and a third barrel that flue passes through and is pizza oven. Mine is for burning wood pellets , good job.
Sounds interesting! I am planning to add heat exchanger to heat the rest of the house and hot water! Hopefully it produces enough heat to get the radiators hot enough! But it's worth a try and anyways the central heating system will be setup and ready for any boiler I want to use. But a pizza oven sounds great I have seen some rocket stove pizza ovens and they work great!
It's a challenge to get radiators to heat if using convection, helps if tank and raids are above heat source, but u may need electric circulation pump .
@@anthonymason912 I have circulation pump. I have already bought everything just need to renovate the storage room to set it all up. Plus accumulation tank and new boiler for hot water!
If the pipe goes more inside more heat inside and less for magpies
The hot is emission in the house by the iron bucket .

Do you know that pipe in factory won’t fully closed for a safety reason?
Yes and this safety is unnecessary if you manage your stove. Have you seen any brick stove having a gap, even the dampers in Depo for brick stoves are fully sealing. Our clay pot stove seals fully and if you close it too soon it smokes. This new safety feature is dummy proof but is cooling down the house and the stove a lot. Since installing the new damper the stove stays hot till morning keeping the room warmer.
thats a sorted stove bro
how is the floor under the stove?
I have added bricks since is was getting a lot hotter than expected, it wasn't untouchable but definitely too hot. So now with bricks they absorb the heat and keep the floor a lot cooler. 😁
Don't you think you need to get your tractors running
Глухая заслонка??? Хм🤔🤦☠
You russian??
but you're an engineer ,,,,who could you not know they were not stainless steel.............................
I ordered them online! When everything was lockdown and only businesses where allowed in non essential stores. Weird times, so had to order online with no description of material but getting a company that ships a whole set of chimney for reasonable price was hard. But anyways I learned it the hard way never to order such things online.
Excellent work you two!🤩🥰
It looks like your 3d tractor.
Hope I'm wrong.
Nope no 3rd tractor yet! 😁
Awesome video guys 🌬❄✨
And pew pew's are always by your side while you are working?

It is not rocket stowe
Why?
Your doing great 👍!!!! This is how I started. Built my home without a lot of experience. One piece at a time. Took many years to get it livable, but it's raised 6 kids.
Cardboard is not good to burn in a wood stove
