| Hello, I am new to the forum found the forum via Youtube videos on rocket stoves. The plan is to build a homemade wood burner to heat our conservatory and the downstairs as all is open plan. I have built a gas bottle burner in the past, my son uses this in his garden now. Welding and fabrication should not be the hold-up, more the planning on getting the right design with the best performance.
Any advice or links to other builds please.
Thanks Pat

| Thanks for your reply Gadily
I have been reading loads of the post on the forum already and watched this morning a stove build again

As for space, I have two corners in the conservatory I could use both would allow me to send the chimney out the wall behind the burner. Wood and maybe sawdust briquettes (home-made) for fuel. Would like to view the fire via a cover with window but most of all I want to get heat return with little fuel. I should have enough space around the burner to create cleaning ports. | |

I watched the build from caotropheus and really like the build of his last burner with the huge viewing window.
I will read the links you posted and start planning on paper

| I am going to try and model the Burner in Autodesk Fusion as I can use simulation software to test the build I hope. I am thinking about fire brick lined inside or case to avoid burn out over time. Watch a video from ZeroFossilFuel very good information https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifpcd-CUqDWAjPtliETytg | |

| If I take the square foot area what do I use the area to calculate the require BTU and type of heater will need.
So far I have sourced some materials 1 x 9,5kg gas bottle 1 x 13 kg bottle
both free but managed to buy two used 2 x47kg bottle I think I managed a good deal cash via eBay
Like the idea of a cast or fire brick internal setup. Want to build so I can make changes and service the burner easily. | |

| the other thing is what type of fuel are you going to use i like zero's system it still works good after three years of use but keep in mind he only uses it when he is in the room after that it shuts down ppottys system is much larger uses more fuel might be able to convert to run pellets or coal ? | |

| I would like to use wood and maybe home-made sawdust briquettes. As we want a viewing window to see the fire burn. Will try and draw up a floor plan to show the understanding of the open plan problem.
