So i was given this wood stove that's homemade but made of steel. I've put rocks around it to make it work and I'm thinking about trying to make this into my mass rocket heater as the base so to say.
So will this work?
It's just a box made of steel with a door at the bottom, fore bricks lining the bottom and 3 sides near the bottom. The legs are off the ground about 12 inches or so ( I'll have to measure to be certain) and goes up to where the flue pipe connects.
My thoughts are using rock and cob around all the steel except the 2 openings. Putting cob in a flue pipe up into a half barrel (my house isn't that large) that sits on a cob and rock base on top of the stove and then the pipe runs the floor for about 8 feet total making a couch/ counter top.
Would the flue pipe be ok dropping below the stove surface or does it need to stay level? Is it going I ng to burn correctly?
