It's my second day running it. The metal is 3/16" so it's thicker than a barrel and those last several years. The firebox is lined with insulation I got from a boiler and a second layer of steel. Not sure of the surface temps. I'm getting a little to infatuated with building stoves so suppose I should get a temp gauge.
My goal was a stove I could run on low and still burn clean. There is almost no visible smoke one it gets up to temp.

I just finished my stove made from a hot water heater. Some details are a catalytic cumbustor with a bypass lever, preheated primary and secondary air, window air wash and a large chamber above the insulated firebox for a water coil (not installed yet).
It burns very clean and it will run at least 12 hours with a good bed of coals in the morning.
My goal was to make a stove that rivals a blazeking and use recycled materials. I bought a catalytic cumbustor for $130 and also needed some new steel that I could not scrounge. Around $200 total.
I'm not sure if the upright configuration is optimum or not so I may build another one with a horizontal firebox. I have an extra cat so my gf tiny house may get a new stove.

I'm building a tiny house in the yukon. Effective wood heat is a priority.
I was thinking of building a rocket stove with a water tank mounted on top of the drum for thermal mass and dhw. A coil in the rocket stove drum thermosiphoning to the water tank with appropriate safety valves ect.
Mass would be easy to increase by the size of water tank. Electric dhw tanks with insulation stripped are plentiful and could be used for the rocket stove and water tank. A coil in the tank for dhw could be used and the storage tank be non pressurized.

I found the parts list and drawings.
It looks to me like there's a catalytic cumbustor at the top.
I starting to weld up a stove made from a water heater tank. It will be 18" diameter by 5' high. Pre heated combustion and secondary air with a 6" round cat with a bypass flap. Sort of a expanded kimberly. Hats off to the inventor of a neet stove that inspired me to try me own.

Hi
I'm fascinated with the stove and have been trying to figure out the basic design so I can try and build one for a tiny house. I understand it's a gasification stove but have not gotten a grasp on a practical idea for fabrication. Is there any info that may steer me in the right direction?
I need long burn times and am building a small stove with a catalytic combusor and secondary burn tubes in an effort to get clean burn and efficiency. A min 10 hour burn is my goal out of a stove with an 18" diameter(water heater tank"
Thanks
