Hi everybody!
The last few day, i've been reading about
rocket mass heaters and pocket rockets. And realised that they are somewhat close to thoses stoves we have in france. There's two brands, Deom who makes an insulated round body, with a top air inlet with a tube going down into the fire. Ok you don't shove
wood in the inlet, but it's not too far. They're mainly meant to work with offcuts and shavings, chips from woodworking shops, to heat up the shop. One could easily modify such a stove with a vertical
feed of chips or else and do a heat riser onto the exhaust tube.

Stainless it is. For thoses who can read french,

I might give a try to modify a deom if i can find a small one cheap
enough.
Hope this is of some interest to you guys.
Bye.
Max.
