Once again, the Master Inventor! Our big build to your design was so very hot that we had to give it away! We bought a small commercial "Forrester" and tucked it into the stone fireplace. It works but I bet nowhere near as well as this iteration of the Rocket Stove. Once again, Los, you are magic and this will be a winner, I'm sure!
Great little stove! Just a thought, it may be worth considering some sort of protection from accidental touch of the stove top/sides as with temperatures at such high levels, it can easily peel-off the skin even with an accidental touch. Not sure how you'd do that but may be some sort of stainless steel wire-mesh (1" x 1" square, wire dia may be 3/4mm ) fixed about 1" away from the surface of your box so that those wire-mesh is doesn't stop from the heat radiating but would significantly reduce the risk of accidental touch on the bare metal plates which are quite thin from what I can see from your earlier videos. Stove seems to be highly efficient for such a simple design, you could put a kettle on top for your tea!
Thanks mate, all good points if anyone is reading this be aware of that, the intense heat radiating from it though makes you very aware of the danger when you go near. Thats the best part putting the kettle on top only takes a few mins for a brew....Cheers.
@@LozHarrop Hi Loz! The sheer would make one aware surely. But if the stove is placed with quite a few people moving/working around it, especially kids it may warrant some safety measures. But in your case the outhouse may be accessible to a few people only and probably that wouldn't matter much.
Yes they're will be plans and it's very simple to build can be scaled up in size to heat a much bigger space and hold more fuel to burn longer. The next version will I think exceed what this can do. You build these to iron out any problems and look to see if you can improve have found the solution to that off an idea from a patron xj9. 👍
Lovely little stove, but I'm not seeing what's hybrid or rocket about it. Most small stoves will burn clean and hot when fed smallish fuel with the air feed wide open, but as you experienced that tends to make the space really hot and eat through fuel. By limiting the air to reduce the intensity of the burn you're using it like a standard wood stove - cool and slow, rather than hot and fast. Rocket stoves are great for some applications, but heating a small uninsulated cabin isn't one of them unless you've got a big thermal mass to soak up the heat from a fast hot burn. Whatever the case, it's a lovely little stove.
Hi and thanks, I really have not gone into the internal workings of the stove because this design as far as I can find is brand new. it was built to see if the idea would work and it clearly does work really well, now it will evolve into a totally new style of rocket stove with luck. Cheers.
Hi yes the whole video story so far has been content created for my patrons for their support, you tube no longer supports small creators so without the patrons I doubt I would take the time to work on these projects. There is no secondary burn on this just a small amount of primary air with ways of preheating the flue from cold. It is evolving now as I work on the 2nd prototype. That version will be alot more challenging but once I have the chambers in the correct proportions it should turn it into a brand new style of rocket stove. once it is working I will show the next version to my subscribers. It may evolve even more from no 2. Cheers.
Good day, what's the design of that new little stove. You have in your little cabin, stove like that would be perfect for my tiny cabin. Thanks Michael.
Ok, I tend to think of the bricks storing heat. I have a normal style room heater which I have bulked out a bit with extra bricks. Once these reach a decent temperature the fire gets going properly.@@LozHarrop
Hi this is a prototype and I will be doing more work on it so i wont put out plans until I can get it as good as it can be. no point drawing plans to then change elements in the stove. I am working on this at the moment just to see if I can improve it in any way. have designed it so that is is fairly easy to build with minimal tools and just need to look at what is available off the shelf to make it all fit together. There will be more videos on it to come. Cheers.

Thanks Bud, hopefully it will do what I think it should.
Great job, very impressive!!!
Thank you 🙏

All wood stoves are hot...lol....everyone knows this
This is awesome, will you be able to make the final build and plans available? We are building a log cabin and need a good wood stove like this!

Nice work buddy,great little unit 👍
Cheers Davy, you recon I could forge in it haha
@@LozHarrop for sure 😉

Looks great.
Thanks
You could insulate the stove with a sand filled jacket to act as a 'heat storage battery' ?
yep that would do the job mate cheers.
Anymore details on how this is made / the design? Burn looks really clean. Is it using secondary burn? Anymore details would be welcome. Ta.

Top job on that matey looks perfect for the workshop are you gona do a video while making the other version? Ill give you a bell tomorrow 👍
Cheers mate yes I'll speak later. 👍

Made out of sheets of pure awesumnium. Excellent work Loz.
Thanks David it's a little hot box. 👍
Looks good.
My first thought was, it’s a tent stove, then I saw the thermal mass of the bricks!
How does it burn from cold?
Thanks there is no thermal mass in the stove it burns fast from cold and gets to full temp in maybe 5 mins.

I am not familiar with Patreon. Do you plan to post the plans for this on RUclips or do we need to join and pay on Patreon? Thank you

I'd love to build one of those for my workshop, is it your own design? I'd be very grateful if you could share more information.
Hi yes it is my design and when I make the final version there will be plans available. Cheers,
What is hybrid about it?
It's not just a fire in a box very similar principle to a rocket stoves the next change will turn it into a full blown rocket
@@LozHarrop Does it generate a vortex in the flue?
@@RallyeRacin9 no the flue is just the vent on this mate
