Hello World! Here is my version of a (get ready for a long winded title) "Franken-Stove: the Gravity Pellet Feed Thermal Mass Mini Rocket Stove! This particular stove consumes about 500g of wood pellets an hour and heats 650 square feet of open concept living room / kitchen comfortably. I have posted it to www.instructables.com and it has over 9k views to date. here is the link:www.instructables.com/id/Pellet-Fed-Rocket-Stove. The youtube site:or simply search "franken-stove" I run it for 12 hours a day and shut it down each evening. Works great. over the past three months it has lowered my electrical consumption (we have electrical heated floors and baseboards throughout our home) has saved us over 48 kWh a day so these things work for home heating. I have since added a steam reformer to the afterburner after the pellet combustion chamber to allow for even cleaner burns by attaching a stainless steel waterbottle to the side of the combustion tube for contact heating. Incorporated into the design is a cubic foot of refractory that radiates heat long after shutdown. If you are planning to build a rocket stove read my instructables link and refer to the changes I would do for an even better stove. Good luck and be safe.
