For the tall stoves, they will take a longer time, because some heat will be used to heat the additional bricks. The test using tallest (44 bricks) took faster than that of the 2nd test (33 bricks) because you help the combistion by blowing some air. Taller stoves have to be compensated with larger air intake hole. That will help a faster combustion, thus heat generation thus quicker water to boil.
breaking the brick is not needed , just let it stick out on one side. okay, my idea is several of these rocket stoves in the corners of a camp hut to provide heat sinks and maybe take down a few and place the bricks near the cot ? i might look into getting some firebricks
The taller burn chamber gets hotter and therefore burns the smoke as fuel. Taller may take less wood because it burns the smoke as fuel. Faster boil is not necessarily the only measurement to compare to. Also if you want to retain the heat to heat a room, a taller burn chamber with more bricks would make more bricks retain more heat.
I feel like you need a larger intake opening. Maybe just swing out that 2nd brick up from the bottom on the left. The taller the stack, the more wind is blocked so you need a bigger hole at the bottom. I use a 16 brick, but this size is definitely easier on the back.
Taller is much cleaner burning with more fuel ... Also create more bigger lower chamber - suspend the fuel with mesh scrap and separate the rear bottom bricks to create an air intake - no need to split any bricks.
Im super curious about trying to create a vortex brick stove. Could you have each substance subsequent layer rotated 20 degrees, creating a spiraling shape. The vortex stoves can burn better over a shorter distance because they mix more air/oxygen in
The tallest burned the cleanest, that must worth something
add a side chamber on the second row so it still has air flow even when it is full of sticks. burns better.

Sounds good. I will keep experimenting. Thanks for the feedback brother

I've seen metal designs. Yours? I don't think any of them can do it under 5.
The more air intake will get a hotter combustion.
Like An Gar said,... after level 1 or 2, add a metal grid and add a hole to the front to start your feed and burn combustion chamber.
I will try in the next rocket stove video. 5 minutes is pretty quick anyways. I wouldn't imagine it can get too much faster.
What's your theory? The higher, the more draft, the hotter the burn?
As i mentioned Loz created a circular vortex which made a difference
Until a certain height ya.
Excellent

Certainly worth a try
@@OffgridSecrets Rotate them clockwise for the northern hemisphere or anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere. It won't work near the equator.
can u just use charcoal instead of sticks?
So the taller more longer
