I have an old box wood stove, with the removable plates. Could this not be a burn chamber for a rocket heater? Fire brick core inside the cast iron , fire brick riser coming from the second plate? Both openings are about 6 inches. Just curious if anyone has tried, or thought about it.
Yeah Rich;
Its been tried.
It even sort of works for a while.
You still need a mass .
The box stove metal will ultimately warp and crack even with firebrick inside.
It will not be burning clean like a rocket.
Better to build a proper rocket,
J tubes are quick simple and easy to build.
In your backyard or in your living room.
For all your Montana Masonry Heater parts (also known as) Rocket Mass heater parts.
