Perhaps I will get lucky. I don't necessarily need to measure the exact temperature. I mean if the design is melting steel then we know that it is reaching at least 2600 degrees F, which is higher than current incinerator temps.

Thank you to everyone for responding. I really appreciate the sharing of knowledge as well as the links and leads. The reason for me posing this question is to experiment with any design that can potentially reach incinerating conditions which are 2,400 degrees fahrenheit. I am currently working with a gentlemen in India whom is trying to find an economical solution for burning plastic waste. We have found an environmental engineering company willing to test the exhaust of various items being burned in order to see what all types of waste can be burnt without leaving toxic pollutants.

I came across a video on youtube where Paul Wheaton is suggesting not to use steel in the core due to it having a melting point at 2,600 degrees fahrenheit. I am assuming that he has been able to produce a design that can achieve temperatures higher than the 2,600 since that is a concern of his. This is the type of design I am seeking. The cost will be very high for the environmental testing, so really we will only have one shot to get it right. The correct design will be everything, so whatever the system design needs to be and with whichever materials are needed.

All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi there,

I am new to the site, but am an instant huge fan. Thank you all for everything that you do and share. I am excited to be a part of this community.

I came across your website through searching out rocket stove / thermal mass heater designs. I  searched through the forum for this before posting the topic. I am trying to find which existing design can produce the hottest temperatures. Open to any design and any material needed in order to achieve the absolute highest temperature. Any thoughts?

Thank you all for your time,

Jason James
