My Rocket Stove Heater
These are some shots from a small project I took on the combat boredom and possibly get some free heat from scrap wood. So far I am very happy with the results. I don't really care about safety or fires etc. I just wanted to have some fun. You should probably not try this at home. Thanks to Rob at IWillTry.Org for the inspiration!
Sorry the video is sideways...
Started with an old water heater. I cut the bottom off of the tank.
Me welding on the beast.
The core of the unit. Basically a J shaped tube. All 4 inch.
As it sits in my crib...
During a test burn outside...
I just cut off the heating elements with my grinder so that the holes remained plugged.
This shows the burn tube being fitted into the tank.
I just plugged the holes with 3/4" freeze plugs.
The "ass" of the stove.
Fully assembled, waiting for the tank to be re-sealed.
