This is not possible by inferior round-shaped combustion chambers found in most of our competitor's stoves. Our Survivor rocket stove is easily identified by our solid stainless steel fuel shelf that stows inside the rectangular combustion chamber! Another SilverFire� rocket stove design 1st! No cheap painted steel wire rack to lose or misplace when you need it! Our correct rectangle-shaped rocket stove combustion chamber allows the stainless steel shelf to ride inside the combustion chamber behind our custom black stainless steel door, when not in use. Competitive rocket stoves utilize primary combustion only. Our rocket stove is more efficient and uses less fuel than other rocket stove designs. SilverFire combines both secondary and primary combustion. So.Our SilverFire� Survivor rocket stove features our new solid stainless steel fuel shelf! This state of the art clean cookstove is durable, fun, and fast. On top of that I want the stoves to be as energy efficient as possible. I want to be able to cook on, say, 10 types of fuel without buying 10 stoves. Maybe I should abandon the whole idea using my rocket stove. They are quite small but always to high and most often also to wide. I have a very hard time finding burners of that size.įor example I've looked as bunsen burners that are used in labs. The rocket stove opening is only 70mm high and 120mm wide.
If I understand things correctly different types of gas require a different nozzle.Īnother problem for all types (liquid/gas) burners is it's size. Some have/need a wick others don't.įinding a gas (propane, butane, natural gas) burner, is more of a challenge than I thought it would be. I've been looking for liquid fuel burners, they seem to come in many types, for various fuels. That said I think a skirted pan on a regular propane stove may be more efficient than a regular pan. The rocket stove has insulated walls and the heat transfer to the pan/pot is maximized due to it's skirted design. I understand the power of a rocket stove over a normal wood stove is how efficiently it burns wood and that technology has no advantage when burning propane in it.īut I think it may still be more efficient in burning propane compared to a regular stove with a flame that loses a lot of heat to the environment. I could buy a different setup for each fuel type.
Wood.Īs I mentioned in my first post I would like to burn more types of fuel. I have a I have this rocket stove + the skirted pan: I'm not sure what you mean by that Thomas. I would say all of the things you mentioned are fine other than liquid fuel. Thomas rubino wrote:Hi Tony Welcome to Permies!
Sorry I saw you posted your link to the stove in question while this was posted,įirst of all happy New Year to you and all. 010 hole in a Babingtion burner roughly 80,000 BTU/hr of heat is generated

If you are an able artificer, then an even more trouble free appliance is the Babington burner, owing to its self clearing nature, fuel does not have to be so pristine.īut.many a property has burnt to the ground from overestimated competence.įor every. Inadequate, uneducated, or incompetent, execution of work will result in toxic gasses being leaked into your home, or catastrophic fire. If you do hire a professional, he will want you to scrap the project out of hand and get a U.L. Parts are hard to get locally, most hvac shops and supply houses will not sell you components unless you are a licensed contractor.Īdvice on setup and tuning parameters will be "hire a professional". I've rigged them to be the backup heat source in outdoor boilers and been very pleased with their performance and trouble free nature.īy adequate controls I mean flame sensors, automatic shutdowns if burn parameters are not standard, automatic shudown if CO alarms are triggered, and thermostatic control as every source has notable BTU content.įuel must be kept scrupulously clean, if your trying to re-purpose an old 55 gallon drum you found in a neighbors field. These guns usually run on heating oil, (read overpriced offroad diesel) but they have natural gas, and propane, versions too, and there are many forums devoted to burning used motor oil and vegetable oil with them. I would assume if you took the time to set up adequate controls, a gun style burner
