Thanks for filming us going up Matt,great day out especially meeting Fuzz and Henry! Shame we only got the one run with the hill being closed after the Cortina crashing,hope the driver will be okay???
That was the first stove I made so more of a prototype really, it currently lies redundant in the yard. I've since fabricated something more superior, and bigger, that heats our super insulated house. I'm not sure if I've put a video up of it yet.
@@mattjbelfield66 Your design peeked my curiosity,, especially as I'm a Designer/Draftsman by trade. I'm designing a Rocket Stove/Heater for the home we are building out in the country. Yours has some very interesting aspects to it. Looking forwards to your new iteration. :)
I've since made the mk2 which is hugely improved using a lot of stainless steel to line it so it will last a long time and the burn chamber is enclosed with a lid on top and glass in the front with an air wash system to keep it clean. I've posted a picture on Pinterest if you want to see it, I need to get a video done as well. Many thanks for your compliments as well.
No Way!! I'd been following this build on the transit forum and had a few chats to Andy about doing another 4x4 vw. I have a county which ive chopped around and fitted 33" tryes etc etc but i used original diffs not the Salisbury. SHOW US MORE!!! How did you get on covering up that 6BT?? Is it still going to Morrocco? Respect to all Mark
He's still working on it. We'll get more videos on as and when. I think it's going to Australia now, he's going to ship it out there and fly out to meet it.
That is pretty much genius, using the gas containers. Can You please share the math behind it aswell? I will need to weld up a rocket stove for my new forge and this seems to be pretty close to what I like.
The liner is 2mm thick stainless steel with an extra piece wrapped around the lower part where the burn is hottest. I intend to fabricate an ash pan from 2mm stainless that will fit snuggly into the burn chamber, which will aid ash removal and if it does burn out over time it can be replaced much easier than the main liner. I haven't used any vermiculite/perlite insulation in the J tube as I couldn't see the need for it, the clay has achieved the result required and stores heat for hours after the fire has gone out.
The clay didn't come from a limestone quarry and was tested under heat before it went in. Once all the moisture was released it then baked hard like a brick.
Nice stove and very good idea attaching an oven. One word of concern. You referred at min 1:49 That you used "quarry waste like a clay" material to insulate the firebox, right? Well, if this material came from a quarry of limestone, you may have created conditions similar to a lime kiln and you may be producing quicklime! You know that quicklime is very reactive and corrosive and releases a lot of energy when mixed with water, right?
The front axle is a Land Rover Salisbury rear axle with Land Rover series 3 front axle ends welded on to take Land Rover swivel housings. The shafts are made to suit. We've fabricated jigs specially to do it all. Holes were cut in the side of the the tractor axle case to allow a chain to pass through into the transfer case which we fabricated and fitted with a modified Land Rover series 3 four wheel drive de coupler.
Looks to be a very well engineered project, congratulations. May I ask, what type of front axle did you use, and how did you fabricate the transfer box?
