#4: Rocket Stove on Pellets

This is the new concept for the use of Pellets. The pellet holder is made of 2 mm stainless steal… the holes are 7,5 mm and have a distance of 10 mm to each others. the bars in the front are 5 mm thick and have a gap of 10 mm. At this time it works best of all pellet holder I've made.

Grazie per le tue delucidazioni, è perfetto per la mia caldaia a gasolio, questo era il mio problema, ti ringrazio tantissimo 👍👍👍👍👍

My stove has a hopper that holds a 40 lb. bag of pellets (actually a bag and a half) so my stove can run all night if need be. So far it heats the house up in a couple hours, then I usually shut the pellet feed off and let it go out. I can turn the air intake down to control the heat output and so the burn chamber doesn't glow red hot, which will save the steel from deteriorating over time.  My next project (almost done building it) is a smaller version of the same stove, using a 3" square tube, smaller burner so I can let it run all night. The 4" tube setup I run now works very well, actually, too well.

My basket design is pretty much the same, only 5" long and it burns 1000 degrees+. A secondary air inlet just ahead of the burner makes it burn so much hotter.

Adding a finer grate just under your burner will keep the small pieces burning in the chamber and not able to fall into the ash pan. That will give you a more complete burn and a finer ash.
 I got the idea from the Riley stove which uses two grates, one course and one fine.

Sorry a few other questions, you said you get about 45 min. burn out off a full tube, would a bigger say hopper work to give an over night (more than 6-8 hours) burn time I want to build one of these rocket stoves but I don't want to have to feed it every hour, and are they safe to use indoors and run the exhaust up my chimney?

After using that kind of burner design, I found the stainless steel rods begin to self destruct over a weeks burning, so I decided to change the design of my burner. I copied the design of the Riley camp stove burner, which works much better and lasts a long time. I've gone thru a ton of pellets (50 40 lb.bags) and everything works as planned. My stove runs at a constant 350 degrees and heats my home toasty warm.  By my calculations, I should heat my home with 3 tons of pellets for the season, which is around $650.

Have you had any problems of burning the stove? What about smoke into the house? Thanks. I am afraid of this so I am adding to the rocket the screw for feeding and the outside air intake so copying the comercial safety systems from that normal ones.

Сколько киловатт ваша горелка, корзина отлично работае👍

I made a Rocket stove with basket with in one hour the ash in the basket puts out the fire, ,,how can I get the ash to fall out of the basket, ,,started with 1/4 " gap and went up to 3/4" I still have the same problem, , , did you run into the same problem ??

Consulta me puedes dar las medidas del quemador de pellet por favor

[horseblinderson]

Is that a bottle of Dansk Mjød Viking Blod?

[philtyers]

Have you done any testing with wood chips instead of pellets?

[nealtran]

what are these pellets made from? how much are they sold?

Hi my friend, very nice work. What is the dimentions of your feeding tube, and what is the consumption of pellets per hour?

[jamaljohnson]

I know how many baskets you must have gone through just to get something worthy of the video. But when you get it to perform wel beyond 2 hours please show your thoughts on that. Anything you learn will be like manna from heaven when you post it. Thanks Bro

Is there a problem of the pellets getting stuck ?

[TaintedMojo]

Looks like the slats up front are way too wide

Hi has anyone tried using coal in these rocket stoves say like pee-coal if not why
