I would read through the forum threads and get an idea of what they can do and how they are best used.
Thanks for your response.
The rocket stove would only be used in the winter time and only for about a maximum of 4 to 5 hours so feeding the wood shouldn't be a problem.
I would like to make it large
enough to take large pieces of pallet wood so that I only have to fed the wood about every hour.
I have some storage heater bricks which I was going to place around the tank/heat exchanger so these will hold the heat to keep the water hotter for longer
