Hi,

this thread is about my workshop rocket stove build. I have a thread on the

http://woodstoves.forumotion.co.uk/forum

which is essentially the same subject. I had originally planned a much more simple stove using the bathtub with doors on the front and a chimney out of the back. But the Rocket principal is so good that I thought it had to be incorporated.

In the Videos that I've attached I've asked a few questions, the answers to which I already have. I'm new to Video so please excuse my incompetence!!

Regards, Matthew.

PS, how do I embed a youtube URL into the page?

Hi Matthew,
I looked at these about 3 years ago for home heating. Looking was as far as I got.

Hi Dave,

they are certainly worthwhile! The difficult thing is finding out how to design it, I couldn't find anything precise. Making it up as I go on with the help of the http://woodstoves.forumotion.co.uk/forum.

Hi Matt,
Since you posted it has rekindled the spark and I have been seeing what is out there.
Do you know if there are any commercial interest, or any commercial ones made for inside home use?

Dave,

I don't know anything about commercial rocket stoves, I hadn't done any research in that direction. From what I've seen on the web,a large percentage of the ones that are homemade are for domestic heating. I would ask the question on the :-
