Any updates on this?

I'm thinking more about institutions. Schools are cooking with inefficient wood stoves. The pots they're using are sometimes over 2ft in diameter. How can this be handled with rocket powered stove?

I Appreciate the ideas. Let me see how to drop it further. I was hoping to have the ashes fall into a collection area below the burner. I'll see how to go about it another way.

Thanks Glenn, I'm beginning to realize that.
Would you recommend a 6x6 inch firebox and riser.

Also, I'm glad to hear that cob is safe for this application. I'll go for it. I hope you mean cob with straw since I already intend to use it for insulation.
I want to use cardboard as forms around the oven box.

Finally, should the fire box be centered under the oven arrangement? Or any will location (frontish) do? And, how high for the riser?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Thanks for responding Thomas.

I'd initially designed it to wrap around the oven, then I realized that the exhaust was over 2m long and got worried that it wouldn't burn well. So I reduced the turns.

Honestly, I'd rather use clay all through because I have good clay here. I just don't know how to form it around the oven. Also, I don't want smoke in the oven because I hope to bake more than just bread and pizzas.

Thanks again

Hello

I'm planning on building this small oven heated by a rocket stove wrapped around it.
Dimensions:
1. Y-shaped burner made from 4x4 steel tube.
2. 4x2 inch C- channel section welded around the oven as shown. Total length is approx 1.2m or 4ft.

Then, I hope to later add a BBQ grill that is to be indirectly heated by the exhaust from the oven.
Finally, I intend to insulate the whole assembly with an adobe-wood chip 50/50 mix.

I'm new to rocket stoves and I'm working off YouTube videos I've watched.
Will this work? Are the cross-sectional areas and the length sufficient for this to heat the oven?

Thanks in advance.
