- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- Today we will make a rocket stove hybrid from our wood stove, this will not work any where near as good as a rocket stove but the heat riser will help distribute the heat, it works maybe 2 to 3 times better with this attachment on so it's a huge improvement in heating our house.

Hey to everyone!!
We are two young adults, Despina 22 and Deivids 23 renovating an old farm house from 1817 in Latvia. Everything in and out of our house has been done by ourselves with no hired help. Soooo far everything is going great and there haven't been any incidents.
DIY is going to apply to nearly everything in our house. Our budget is tight and that has made us appreciate every "ugly" part of this house and turn it into something new and beautiful.
We give new life to things that others would throw away!
In this journey we are not alone! We are starting up our little Farmily and part of it are
3 goats
1 Mom Sheep & 2 Baby Sheep
4 chickens
1 rooster
and 2 geese
Oh yeah and my cat Ivi
Despite our daily problems we are two young people full of joy and happiness, ready to start a new crazy chapter in our life. It wouldn't be fair to keep this fun for us!
that's why we want YOU to be also part of our Farmily!!
Hope you enjoy our video!

AWESOME!! My heart is happy seeing the warmth in your house. I have been so worried about how cold it has seemed for you two. The reality is, no one should worry about you as you are so smart and resilient. You will always succeed. SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
@@DoBeDiff u're an awesome heartwarming inspiration!
Could you put a metal strap around the barrel and attatch to the wall to stabilise it better..?
You really amaze me what all you can do...
Every woman wishes she had a handy man like you..😊
Love you two..💞
Thank you so much! ❤️
We could definitely, we will find a nice way to make it secured ❤️😊
Amazing how you made that hybrid heater. Kids your age still playing xbox or anything gaming online while you two, did a good job renovating your house. You are The jack of all trade who can do from elec to plumbing to fixing to carpentry anything. Den is so lucky woman.
Oo boy! Just put some tools in his hands then stand back and watch in awe🤯👍
And that's why he's an engineer...congrats guys,, great job!
you have the most amazing ideas, fantastic brain.
You are brave warrior,ready for anything and totally awesome. A true genius that you can tackle anything and everything. May God bless you both and may you both have the strength to tell anyone not to be afraid. That house might have doubled it’s worth in the market. Good luck 👍
This is fabulous and you deserve to proud of being able to create this project for you and your wife and it’s beautiful burning. I never knew that ash was a great cleaner for wood stove window. Thank you for teaching this old lady a new trick.
Thank you! 😊❤
You can even wash clothes with it.( carefull not to add too much ash in water because will ruin your clothes)
Again I am very impressed by Deivid's skills
The 2 of you are adorable! Just watched most of your earlier videos. Please stay safe!! Love from New York, USA.
Thank you! ❤️😊
Once again you amaze me with your skills... great to see you have more heat in your home... once your door is properly sealed you will be going outside to cool off haha...but joking aside you always find a solution to your problems.... I don't like being cold so every time I watched you and you could see your breath when indoors I always felt so bad for you... well done to another clever idea xx
Thank you! ❤️ It working very good for now! Door should be fixed either today or tomorrow 😊
A great success, I also worried about the effects of cold in a house that had not been lived in for some time and one which did have a number of gaps and holes in the roof. You are making good progress to a happy, comfortable home. It is nice to see hard work earning a reward.
What a brilliant idea. I love watching you two kids . You’re very creative!
So glad you have more heat
I think that a thin modern barrel would work just fine. Modern barrels are often used as the fire box in many wood stoves and I have personally seen then last 20 years. That is with the fire directly in them, you are only putting hot smoke through it. great idea for a heat exchanger . Glad to see it help so much.
Very good idea and Video !!!! Thanks !!!
This is a very nice hybrid rocketstove and it WORKS! With some modifications you can make it even better. Still, very nice job!
You guys are so funny with your choice of music illustrations. Brilliant idea. -and it works, you said !
Bravo. I live in Canada. Mose of us rely upon wood stoves to get through winter 5-6 months. Never have I seen this technique 😮
Happy or shall I say relieved that you have a heating system now.. Good job in improving from wood to rocket stove..
You sure know what you're doing. Warm house now. You braved the cold all this v time until you have heat. Great job. Luv your modern-rustic cottage.
Congratulations, this is what entrepreneur do solve problems and invent, glad your able to heat better, this is a great need as you get older you will accumulate things and improve things and look back at this and say, wow I can't believe we did that. God bless
You two just amaze me, you are both game to try anything and figure things out. Very bright couple and it seems like they support each other amazingly well. I love your channel, thank you for the videos.
In the longterm it might be an idea to coppice cherry trees. (Or pollard to keep the leaves out of animal's reach). We did this at home for many years. The regrowth is always extremely straight and yields useful sticks and firewood. Don't coppice the tree every year, because it won't give much fruit that way.
Cherry is a sublime firewood and fun for crafting too. Made an insect hotel out of a log yesterday.
Love your vids!
Thank you for the idea! We actually have a cherry tree which is spreading like crazy, I cut down all the new trees growing around it as it was a jungle. But we could plant a large section in the field with cherry trees, I would like them as a wood meterial for furniture. I also need to invest in a wood chipper or make one my self as it would be a good way to burn smaller branches 🤔❤️
I love how the two of you work together the love really shows through!
This is brilliant!
I am so happy you are warm!
It's awesome, but keep an eye on the top of it, that barrel bottom might be thin and its getting blasted by heat, maybe weld a plat of steel over it. Hi from Hendersonville, North Carolina BTW, Love your channel
Do & Be Different Family When you mentioned your rocket stove modification i imagined the drum being filled with sand with a pipe running through like a tunnel. This would make a heat bank to be released back into the room when the fire goes out. Less firewood burning time.
Excellent rocket stove you made. My brother made one a bit smaller we call it our frankenstove . It works pretty good we've even cooked bacon on it.
Its a pocket rocket on top of a wood stove. Great idea!
God's given talent and skills. Your so smart Deivid.
Wow you are so talented and handy. This investigation is amazing. Bravo to both of you to be brave a persistent enough to do all these renovations yourself.
You are AMAZING couple!! Congratulations! Such an inspiration!! Bravo sas.👏👏🇬🇷keep up and wish you have a wonderful life there. I know Birgitte from when was pregnant to you D. She must be very proud!!
Very smart daivid!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Griaat to hear that your stove is working so well.
Great job, it looks very efficient!
Well done!
You can make it more efficient by giving it fresh air from the outside via a pipe. This will stop the fire sucking the warm air out of your house.
Ви такі розумні латвійці!!! Наснаги вам у відбудові цілого вашого будинку!
You guys are so inventive and impressive!!
What the heck! That’s awesome! Some say to put a fan low on the floor in the coldest part of the house and blow it towards the stove. The theory is a that the cold air will be pushed to the stove low, then heated by the stove then rise and circulate back to the cold fan. Creating a convection or something like that. 🤷♂️
Well done so happy for you both
Thank you! 😊❤️
I've only watched a few of the videos. I'm usually good at finding really great RUclips channels and I believe that this is another hit 🎯. Not committed just yet but very soon maybe. So much energy, and dedication great job, 👌 keep doing what you're doing. Great success, growth and prosperity for you!
This is a unbelievable idea. I heat with total wood all winter.. this spring I’m gonna definitely attempt this good idea.. The only problem I fear is obtaining a thick gage barrel. Thank you.
Yeah it works wonders! 😊❤️ The barrel is a hard one to find as the modern barrels are very thin and won't hold heat for very long. Only good thing they are very light compared to this monster! 😂
I'm thinking of using a old 280 gal propane tank and modifying to make a barrel.
You are so resourceful!
You guys are so cool. Love how you work together and are so handy.
You have great house now! ❤️🇲🇰
🙏❤️🇺🇲🤗😲Deivid, never seizes to amaze me, welding, cutting metal, wonderful heating system-GADS- these 2 are Rock'n❤️🤗🇺🇲 Sincerely Patty Sue Chandler-Lindquist Oct 2021
Simply and efficent! Great idea! I'll make it too...
I love the fans on your stove, we have one and it works great
I’ve never seen anything like this!! Amazing!
You solved many mysteries for people who are looking how to save firewood- thank you!
One suggestion: exhaust gas are still hot after leaving your barrel: you can weave them through house for at least 4 meters and put cob over it to create thermal mass- idea is to store thermal energy and do not start fire for two days...
I had a plan for that but it's a bit messy! For now it seams to be semi clean burning still producing some waste in the chimney but maybe 10% of what it would be without the barrel! 😀
@@DoBeDiff Just add more piping inside your house to increase heat exchange+ insulate house to reduce thermal loss... with love from Serbia!
This is fabulous you done such a great job on this
Nice build, well done. I would probably consider placing some cement board or stone sheet on top of the barrel. I had an oil drum that reached to about 30cm below my ceiling and the surface temperature of the ceiling could easily reach 200˚C. Also, although you have a thick barrel, it is also old and rusty and it's possible the intense heat of the riser might eventually breach it. It would also give you a bit more mass for heat storage after burn-out. Enjoy your warm room!
Great idea. I too wanted to suggest a heat shield above the stove to protect the wood floor above it. To prevent any chance a breach would get out of the barrel. A stone barrier is a good idea.
I feel so proud of you. You are amazing🎉
The house is beautiful! Congrats on your work from Argentina :)
Thank you! 😊❤️
Hello again dear Despina and David... I am glad to see you to renovate your new home.. I will ask David about the chimney construction,,, He put in the barrel a bid piece of stone wool.. For what reason and in which side in the barrel??? You are so happy, so hard working and optimistic. I envy both of you........
Every episode I watch I'm always in awe of your genius!! You both are exceptional and so inspiring ❤
🔥This is awesome! 💥
Just fantastic! You might think of painting the barrel to make it an all year round feature 😊 If not it’s still super sonically great-just leave as is; it’d make a good conversation piece. I’m so pleased you guys & Evie are warm now! What was that song when the video opened up please? 😊☺️🇦🇺
Thank you! 😊❤️ I will have to look up the song as I wouldn't remeber the name of it but I will try to reply the name tomorrow! We want to paint it white just scared it might reduce the heat tranfer 🤔
Do a dot painting:)
Now draw in cold outside air and seal it to the air intake to the heater. The draw pulls outside air through cracks in the shell of your house. Outside air allows 30 % extra heat because your not burning heated air.
The barrel will also work on its side but needs internal baffles and a removable lid. You have done well! Enjoy.
😍Wow!!!👏👏👏👏👏👍new subscriber here from the Philippines!❤❤❤
Greetings from Canada! I would be interested in knowing what the temperature difference of the pipe going out the wall was before you added your heat exchanger/rocket stove , compared to now! Rocket stoves are famous for getting the most heat out of the wood and just warm(not hot) air goes out the chimney. Great job!👍👍😁
Brilliant 💞✝️
I hope that you put a reflector on your ceiling above the stove. That can really damage or even burn down your house. PLEASE INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS!!!
Awesome. Blessings for you both.
Great, well done.
Thank you! ❤️😊
Great job David!!!
This is really cool
I am so glad it was a succsess. it aint pretty but warmth is way more important. :)
Your channel is growing very fast
Such an intelligent young man
Good content...watching from usa.
Thank you! 😊❤️
I am impressed! I was sceptical about this idea but looks like it works great! Well done! 👍
P. S. also instead of opening it you can buy an inspection door, there are for sale in Depo in chimney sections. 👍
Thank you! ❤️ It seams to work for now! We do need an insulated chimney to be fully safe ad the smoke is too cold or the difference in temperature is too high. But for now It works great, after 20 burns there isn't much of a build up so it isn't as fast as I was scared it will be. I was making this and was non stop worried it will not work at all, but works exceptionally. I want to buy an inspection door which will be easy to install on the barrel! 😊
You are bless
Amazing.... well done!
Thank you! ❤️😊
Congratulations, very inspirational. ❤
You guys need the russian style huge brick masonry heater.we have them here in 🇫🇮 to in really old houses.I have a smaller modern version. They are the best insurance against the cold.The more weight the better.
Excellent fabrication!
Maybe a couple metal straps around barrel fastened to wall to keep from tipping off stove??
It's fine for now! Over it's fine the bricks is there just in case. But I will make it stable with some sort of attachment ♥️😊
If you can get a small pipe hooked to outside air to inside your stove. This will stop the stove from pulling any cold air in under doors or windows.
Fajny pomysł z tą beczkę
Wow thats amazing, its heating your whole house. Now can you build a more beautiful artistic one since youre good at building and welding
Yeah need a better welder this one can't really weld sheet metal it burns through most of the times, I need a more precise welder then I will make a good one with proper pipes and setup ❤️😊
It's great what you've done to make the house more comfortable. I'm not sure how hot the top of the barrel gets, but assuming it's the same as a typical flue pipe you should probably have a gap of between 15-18 inches between it and the floorboards above (as they're combustible). That's normally for a 5" or 6" pipe, so it could be that the large flat surface at the top means you should have even more of a gap? I'd suggest you have a look at recommendations for some sort of shield just to be safe, especially as it could be running overnight. Enjoyed the video and the way you've getting around problems, but thought I'd mention the shielding as it's worth checking out.
Wow great stove pipe genius!
Enjoy your Beautiful home yous should buy anther one good job
Brilliant innovation, wish you both well with your adventures. 🙋♀️🌈🌞
It is fantastic.
Very impressive..! 😀💜
I don't think this qualifies as a "rocket stove", nor a hybrid. What you've made seems to be more of a "bell type" or "bell style" heat exchanger, attached to the top of a wood stove. That said, I imagine what you've come up with is still much more efficient than a typical wood stove installation. Beautiful, man. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, rocket stove needs a few things to be a rocket stove. L or J structure, insulation in the heat riser and some in the combustion chamber, etc.
wonder how your fuel expenses (in terms of the number of sticks or logs you have to take out of the shed per day) have changed.
i wonder if offsetting the stove and lengthening the exhaust pipe could get more heat out of the exhaust.
amazing stuff, even if it just helps your draft dynamics be better.
Good job 👍
Awesome!!!
Nice! Congratulation :) What's the temperature is in the morning now?
Thank you! ❤️ In the morning it drops to 15c but the main door is blowing cold air in. In few days I fill fix this problem and it should improve how much heat stays in as the bedrooms don't cool more than a degree over night but the living room has all that cold air blowing in so it cools down faster 😊
Great job!
Wow thats so cool
What an ingenious idea!! I'm thrilled you 2 will be warm this winter, & Ivie! 🐈 😸 🐈⬛
I still have not found the vlog that David hurt his hand!??! Somehow, the vlogs stopped rolling in order, at the finish of the 3 part guest room series, when your Mom came for her first visit. And I can't find the vlogs around that time, it jumps to like 8mo ago?? Shit IDK??🤣🤪😅 I'll keep looking. 😁
Awesome 👍
Great work.
Well done ❤
