Thanks Ronyon.I live in Québec and get the brick from a masonry yard called Réfrabec, in Varennes, for $80 CAD for a box of 24. Five pounds of pellets fill the hopper to the level you see on the video. This will give you about an hour and a quarter burn. The stove gets very hot very quickly; 20 minutes after startup, there's a round spot about 10 inches accross that glows red on top of the tank. With the hopper filled right up you get about 2 hours, but it gets too hot in the house.As you can see though, at this point the hot combustion gases are all being evacuated through the chimney, so it also cools down rather quickly. This Fall, I plan to build a masonry mass to capture and store most of that heat for overnight release into the house. It will be a side-by-side brick double bell, in the form of a wall 7' tall, 5' wide and 11.5" deep with a 7" deep chamber inside. Do you have a rocket stove, or plan to get one?

I buy out dated hand sanitizer gel from bargain stores. It's same stuff as pellet gel , I get 6 60 oz squirt bottles for 2.50 . Works great. Couple squirts , light it and done.

Madd Macc wrote to ask about the foil material around the pellet basket. That material is aluminum sheet, thicker and stiffer than kitchen foil wrap. You can get it for free at printing shops; they are actually used and discarded 22"x36" offset printing plates that the shop owner gave me, a big pile of them weighing over a hundred pounds. What Is showing around the stainless steel wire basket is the back side of the plate. When the camera looks down into the basket, you can actually see the printing side with the words and images etched on to pick up the ink that will then be transfered to the paper to be printed. You can do all kinds of neat things with those plates. The metal decoration of catalpa leaves that you see hanging on the chimney at the start of the video is made from the same material. It's easy to cut with ordinary scissors, and you can just as easily use a spoon or even the tip of a ballpoint pen to shape, scribe and emboss it to create any shape you like. Great stuff!

Can we get an update video on how well it's lasted over the last 2 seasons?

I like the feed for the wood pellets

Liked everything except the aluminium (?) ducting used as chimney pipe. A cap on the pellet feed tube would decease chances of pellets burning up the tube .

Very nice. Great ending/credits. 👍

the funny thing is I've been checking all these videos out and this is all the same design that they've been using in China for many many years

Thank you Charles.

nice it's -40 actuelly i ''ll be happy to have this heater!! +++

Nice work!

I am still struggling with air inlet from outside the room. And the lady is not amused by the looks of my welded rocket burner. 😊

How about adding an external air input feeder pipe, so that the stove is fed air from outside the building.

Nice . Trying to determine design , and understand how the smoke gets sucked out of the stainless pipe going through old stove etc ?

very cool

Hello Mr. Jeanlou, i would like to get the plans, its very interesting.

nice house and nice view. :))

Do you have any drawings on the burner I would like to build one

what is the risk of "burn-back" i.e. up the pellet feed tube if primary draft fails?

Take a look here it’s in Romanian but if you search his videos and combine zero fuels with him you’ll get a better rocket heater

Very nice will you help build one like yours.

How does a bag cost now? How long does it last? Do you have plans or a demo for your stove? Can you take the barrel apart for cleaning? How often?

Nicely done,the build and the video.How long does it burn for when full?Where did you get your bricks?

Отлично!

Can you make me one for Christmas?

Is that an ild compressor tank? Propane tank?

and not a word was spoken.......

astucieux , mais alors pas très décoratif dans un salon !!!!
