Rocket Stove Construction Guide

Its printed title: Advanced Construction, Thermodynamics, and Evaluation of Biomass Rocket Mass Heaters and Multi-Burner Cookstoves

Rocket mass heaters and multi-burner cookstoves of firebrick, clay and earth. It explains clean burning through time, temperature and turbulence, asks for sticks below 20 per cent moisture, gives the J-tube proportions as 1:2:4, and cites Aprovecho's work on pot skirts, which it says keep efficiency near 50 per cent with a narrow gap of 6 or 8 mm and let it fall to 26 per cent when the gap widens. The equations were lost in the PDF text, and its opening looks to the American West.

  • 4 confirmed
  • 2 amended
  • 2 marked for safety
  • H2 amended Safety Creosote lays down when flue gas cools below about 120 °C; a chimney fire runs at about 1,000 °C, cracks the liner and fires the roof; cures: dry wood, hot fast fires, never close …
  • H6 amended Safety Rocket stove: never leave unattended; sticks no thicker than a thumb; pot 2 cm above the riser mouth on iron feet
  • H31 confirmed Winiarski at Aprovecho in the 1980s; rocket stove named for its noise; 1:2:4 proportions; riser above 1,000 °C; 96 to 98 % combustion; three-stone fire 10 to 15 % to the pot
  • H32 confirmed Rocket mass heater: drum over riser, duct in cob bench, two-hour fire charges a tonne of cob for a day, exhaust at 120 °C
  • H33 confirmed Peter van den Berg's batch box, 2010s
  • H37 confirmed Rocket core: 15 cm square, firebrick in 1:1 clay-sand mortar, house brick spalls, riser insulated with ash or perlite, 8 mm skirt doubles heat to the pot, 1 kg sticks in 30 min …
