Hi everybody
I was wondering if there are some experience by using pore concrete as isolation of the burning chamber J? In my experience pore concrete is very easy to cut and shape.
I want to build a baker oven with a rocket stove and it needs to be mobile on wheels. So lightweight materials would be great. I maybe failed in the lightweight attempt already by using 4mm wallthickness steel pipe. But i got it for free🤷🏻♂️ Any thoughts are welcome!
Hi Tobias;
Welcome to Permies!
I've added your post to the rocket oven forum as well.
So you're building a mobile oven for baking?
Very cool, perhaps freshly baked bread in people's dooryard?
You are wanting to insulate your "core" metal pipes.
I do not know of Yton brand but I do know that concrete will fail over time at rocket temperatures.
Perhaps a mix of perlite and fireclay in a lite metal containment would do the job as well?

Hi Tobias, I dont know what yton is either but I think that in my area, it is what we call themo crete, an aerated cement mix.
I am not sure if coating a metal pipe in a ridged cement based product will work for you, the metal will expend and crack the cement and the pipe will get too hot and wont last very long.
The harder you work, the luckier you get. This tiny ad brings luck - just not good luck or bad luck.
