Nice job.
That would be a great place to set a hot air engine powered fan.

Interesting - I've never heard of a rocket stove. I have an old pot belly in the shop at my Mum's but it is getting see through in a few places and is on its last legs.

ha ha you know you're welcome anytime John, if you look closely there's some sash weights to the right of the stove, they're fixed with bowden cable via a pully to the drilling machine table,it's a 10 speed meddings but hasn't got rack & pinion to the table so the weights balance it out.

Well you won't need one in perth just now mayhem,my daughter who lives in joondalup recons it's 40 odd c at present!! we're going there in april for a month, I'm no expert on rocket stoves so I surfed the net for all the info I could find till I found one that suited my & I more or less copied it with with a few mod's to suit myself, the best part is it doesn't use a lot of fuel, the burn chamber gets so hot[glows red] it burns all it's own smoke & it starts heating straight away, the only downside is that you have to feed it little & often but I wouldn't go back to a pot belly now,this is far superior, I love it.
