I went on and tore out the heat riser today. after reviewing I decided the 16.5 inch water heater core and 6 inch diameter heat riser did not match the needs of the 8 inch duct. In the process I found some clay obstruction at J which was probably too tight anyway.I also think there was some settling and the size of G was 2 inches or maybe less
I think I will be able to retrofit a regular steel drum in the space and will have the room to make a brick riser in the barrel Have to double check to see if that would need to be insulated or the brick is adequate alone.
I will take some pictures of the process.
Its a learning process. building the stove and posting the pictures

4 inch pipe: My impression is that all attempts have ended up with poor results. I have a theory ..... I suspect that a four inch system could work fine provided that the pipe is no longer than 12 feet with no more than two bends.

pocket rocket: I suspect that the exhaust would get really hot. That's where you would probably get a great deal of the heat. The downside is routing the exhaust immediately outside before getting most of the heat out. And that is a sad waste.

Paul, you sound excited about this idea of an exposed-pipe radiant heater. (New thread?)
Do you know that this was tried historically?

Please read up on the historic versions before attempting this one at home.

Here's another question: If I build a rocket stove in our garage, as I plan to do, I can run the exhaust out either the east side or the west side. The east side is *usually* (not always) down-wind; west side is *usually* up-wind. But the east side is the front of the house and would be visible from the road. Will the exhaust draw better on the down-wind side (I would think so, but....). I'd rather not have it visible from the front of the house, though, if it would work the other way.

hello all. after reading all of your post i had a few questions.
can you use a gas burner in the rocket stove if you run out of things to burn ?
could you add a cast iron grate for coal, pellets, charcoal, and corn cobs?
are bends in the exhaust required to slow air movement or could you just use all straight pipe with thermal mass?

when you have a heat riser, does a tall chimney outside still benefit the draw? or is the exhaust all being 'pushed' out rather than pulled?
