Cookstove and Masonry Heater Hybrid (inspired by rocket combustion)

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know about a project that I'm developing to present at the Masonry Heater Association Annual Meeting this April in North Carolina.  It combines the rocket combustion strategy with also a simple cookstove approach, switched using bypass dampers.

The project development is being documented at this location:

I will be posting updates to that thread.

Regards,
Max

This looks very cool! Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Nice concept, looking forward to seeing how it works …..

I just wanted to update people interested that I have posted an update on the project with some sections describing some of the inner workings of the stove proposed.

This is great Max. I look forward to seeing more updates to this.

I am currently brain storming ideas for having a cook/grill/oven and masonry heater combo in a sunroom I hope to build in a few years.

Hi again enthusiasts of fire and stewards of the future...

Here is a summary of where the design work on this project is at:

Hello all!

I wanted to follow up on this thread and share with you a photo of the prototype that was built based on the design development chronicled in this thread!



The build was the outcome of a workshop that I led at the Masonry Heater Association Annual Meeting in 2022.
It features a batch box style firebox with the ability using valves to completely switch the direction of flow either into the main mass including the bake oven and heating hot water, or reversing it so that the flame hits the cooktop.  One is able to control the amounts of primary and secondary air supplied in both configurations.  I intend to add details of this to this thread soon.

I am returning to this project  to continue work on it and have several offers for you to support it.

I have put all of the drawings together that I made to build this heater as a set of plans which are for sale (and on sale during November)!:
