Hello Everyone! I have built a rather unique Rocket Stove that I affectionately have called "Franken-Stove". It has been featured on Instructables.com and to date has over 9.8k views.Here is the link https://www.instructables.com/id/Pellet-Fed-Rocket-Stove/ You can also view a short video on YouTube if you search for "Franken-Stove". You will see how my design is different from most other rocket stoves out there. I give special thanks to a gentleman on this forum by the name T2H whose amazing ability with Sketchup and engineering insights has inspired me to build a rocket stove (with my own ideas thrown in along the way). Here is the youtube link. Please forgive me for I am not great with computers so you may have difficulty with links but I will get more proficient with practice. I am having difficulty posting a pick of the stove but it has been operational every day and heats 650 square feet of kitchen / living room open space area. It consumes about a pound of wood pellets an hour, operates at 550*F and has a 2" x 2" burn box. Refractory Cement of 1 cubic foot stores heat for about 2 hours after the last pellets are consumed. I have also incorporated an afterburner / steam reformer to aid in the cleaner combustion of gases and that can be seen in another video and the Instructable. I hope those of you who are interested in building your own pellet fed rocket stove take a moment and consider my design. I am contributing my design to this forum as thanks to many of you who were kind enough to freely demonstrate your designs on youtube so this is my way of giving back to the community that helped me design my rocket stove. I wanted to build a small rocket stove for my workshop but when it was in the testing phase, my wife walked by it and felt the comfortable heat radiating from it she said, "Forget putting that thing in your shop! Paint it pink and get it installed in the living room!!!" In a surprised stupor of wondering just what happened, I could only muster two words; "Yes, Dear!" Happy Wife, Happy Life!
