You will bee amazed about how effective it is.
Last year I build a Rocket furnace to heat my basement in winter. Cost next to nothing, use only little amount of wood, and turn out at lot of heat. Very effective!
My father-in-law built one in his house the fire is in the breeze way and runs through the wall to a second chamber for a secondary burn. After that the heat is pushed through a mud/adobe couch to hold the heat and warm the house.
I need to learn how to weld and start doing some projects like this.
Yep, me too.
Seems like welding is one of those things that mostly just takes some practice. This project is pretty straight forward, so I thought it would be good for some welding experience. The welding isn't perfect, but I did it all myself!
The base, feeder tube, chimney tube, and upper tub/grill are all separate pieces.
The first day I worked on the stove, I cut all the pieces to size and to fit each other. Here's what I had at the end of work day one (a couple hours of an afternoon)
The second work session, I did all the welding to put those pieces together.
The welder itself was a wire-feed welder (without gas).
Wow, that's kinda cool. I'm going to have to look around and copy you. I have a propane grill which I regularly use in summer, about 2 tanks a summer since we cook out so much.
And those are pretty good weld for gas-less flux core on your first time too!
