Hey all,
I'm thinking of building a
rocket stove, something similar to a
rocket mass heater.
Originally I thought I could use it as an alternative heat source for distilling ethanol.
For my set up if I use electricity, I'll need an heating element of about 2500w for the initial heating up of the boiler. After that I'll need to reduce the heat for the completion of the run.
I have read a lot (also here) about rocket mass
heaters and I thought I can build something that would have two plates for higher and lower temperature. I thought one drum would be using the heat riser heat and one using the exhaust heat. Thought about using 6" pipe.
That's my plan. Tell me what you think if I'm understanding the theory corectly.
