The work you put into the specifics of all the mechanical components ... the ease of serviceability .... as a HVAC engineer and long time DIY disaster engineer , I applaud you Sir .

Excellent workmanship, and a great idea to burn an unwanted waste product.

You can see the gap there is none ...love that.

I like the door latch and how you used the ridged piece to make the door stronger

This project looks like a barrel of fun.

You incorporated some good ideas. I like the door stiffener, no waste either.

Love that tension-adjustable catch. I have to copy that for my stoves. Thanks 65!

My oil burner repair guy said my old oil boiler consisted of a metal garbage can and a burner and therefore not efficient. If I lived out in the woods, I'd definitely build something like your sawdust stove. At least someone who needs a rocket stove heater, he can build one with your help.

Great idea and work up on the door. Can't wait to see the rest.

Awesome video man. One of the better on the entire web. Well done.

My country only has pine sawdust. Welcome to Loserville.

You're a Mad Man!

On the top of the sawdust could you use a round steel plate, with the centre hole in it so it moves down as the sawdust burns, preventing the top sawdust from catching on fire, you could push down on it also to pack the sawdust, pull your wooden dowl out and it's ready, just a thought

That is a great way generating free heat. I want to use my everlast equipment to make a couple of these.

Like that, going for pt 2. Feel as Bikefarm Taiwan expresses.

I wonder about long time ago but I was told that it wood blow up thanks for that great ideara

im currently using a 30 gal drum for heat,it looks a lot like the size of the burner chamber,using it might save some work/welding,to use a 30 inside the 55,looks great nice finished product

Thank you for your time, very good!

Can't wait to see this project. been thinking of doing this for sometime and interested to see your design in action. Good Job. Cheers Martin

Great ingenuity! Thanx for sharing...

Very interesting and nice build so far.

Great job I may make one for my greenhouse.

Nice Project! Before you welded the smaller barrel together, it looked like a giant piston ring compressor with the straps around it haha

nice hinge idea

really good clear presentation...thanks

Hi 65ford Thank you for a good video. Hope you can help! I need to build a rocket stove to heat a swimming pool of about 140 000 liter (37 000 US gallon) Two 1.1kw pumps will circulate the water. The pipes from the pumps are 50mm (2 inch), and I will split each pipe into 11 copper pipes of 15mm (0.6 inch) each to equal the same volume. Each of these 11 X 2 copper pipes will be form into a spiral of 30 meter. (100 feet) The diameter of the drum will be about 1 meter. (40 inch), and the width perhaps slightly more. I plan to make the outer drum 300mm (12 inch) higher than the inner drum. And the diameter of the outer drum will be 1.6 meter (64 inch) Airflow will be from underneath, i will make a grid of copper pipe to build the fire on. The chimney will be about 400mm (16 inch) from the bottom. I assume a chimney of 100mm X 100mm will be sufficient (4 X 4 inch) My question, if anybody could help me perhaps, is about the ventilation of 300mm. (12 inch): Is it sufficient, too wide, or too narrow? Thank you in advance!

Good job! I like that a lot :) Hinges and latches are v-cool made to your own specs, very resourceful.

Good job 65!

Man I'm very impressed with how you work and think, you do good work! I'm excited to see the rest of the build, would be perfect for a greenhouse, eh'?

Great design!

Ooow that looks like an interesting project :-))

nice bluebox :)

Very interesting .. Thanks !!

Looking good!!

6:30 a load binder from a grain truck, kinda.

Wonder if the inside of a scrap electric water heater would work for the smaller inner drum?

Watch my Rocket Stove heater tips and tricks video. Happy new year.

I'm curious if someone could use this as a boiler for radiant floor heat...i'm sure it would make it a bit more efficient...

I do enjoy your video's. The sound quality of this one is poor, sorry to say.

Nice work man and a great idea. Have you tried refilling it before it completely burns down?

Nice Build ! How hot have you had the stove ? What would you say a Clear distance would be from surroundings ? would like to put 1 in garage , thinking about a corner setup only have 6 - 8 inches of clearance on back ? Thanks

excelente, Felicitaciones saludos cordiales

Question is that the Finished handle? wont it be really hot resting on the barrel like that could it be curled or curved upward i mean away from the barrel itself? just curious i never seen one of these in person i dunno know ? ;)

awsome videos man. Where did you eventually put the air intake ???? Going to build one soon...

They need to shut off that Truck Engine in the background.

Bangladesh jindabad

Where can I get oil drums like those?

Do you have any detailed drawings for the Saw Dust Stove if so how can i get a copy

What does the hole on the bottom do?

Have you used this indoors? I love the idea and want to make one this week but I'm afraid of getting Co2 and killing myself: :) Thanks

Uh, a 30 gal barrel will do the same thing WITHOUT all the cutting and welding..just sayin' here

.

gave this a thumbs down due to the point I CANT hear this at all even with my amp up full and my pc speakers up full and my sound up full in video.
