Well, the term 'back to the drawing board' certainly fits here. Thanks so much for the thorough reply, and for explaining my false assumptions. I will re-read, explore digest and rethink.

Hi All, First post. I am in the process of changing my lifestyle from 9-5 Computer Guy, to going on the road to look for my homestead. I am planning the conversion of a 16' x 7' trailer to be my home for a few months maybe a bit longer. I want to build it as self sufficient as possible and learn as much as possible about sustainable living in the process. First Project. Rocket Stove/Heater. I would appreciate any feed back on my plan. I wanted to make a smaller rocket stove than the usual 55 Gallon or even 25 Gallon.

Using an up turned Cooking Pot as the Heat Riser outer Barrel.
The feed and Burn chamber will be made of Rectangular 1/8" steel or aluminum same as the Exhaust chamber.
The Inner Heat Riser will also be made of 1/8" Steel Circular Tube. With an vermiculite insulation section.
There will be firebricks around the feed, burn and exhaust chamber too.


Anyway take a look at my plan and break down if you feel like it. Many Thanks.
