Sawdust Stove Cabin Garage Rocket Stove Heater PART 2 

I always say to myself I'm going to bed but then I watch your vids then I'm up for 2 more hours love them great work

So well done. To the point, no waffle, just facts. Thank you

That is just awesome! Anything you can load once and it will burn all night long is a winner in my books.

Been working on a rocket stove for the trailer. Now I am thinking of a mod thanks to your vid. I don't have a ready access of saw dust but tons of dry pine compliments of the pine beetle, lol. So I am thinking of a wood shipper to make chips and burn. We are looking at a Cob renovation on the trailer. You should look into cob houses. I just learned about them last week. People are running their smoke stack through Cob couches and even floors before it runs up the chimney. Lots of great ideas. Let your imaginations soar! Still thinking. Thanks for the video!

Thank you very much for such a comprehensive video. I'm dyslexic so find written instructions difficult but I was with you through every part of the construction. I will be building one of these very soon

Very nicely done. I feel like someone who has been furniture shopping/ kicking tires for weeks and with your video finally found exactly what I need and want. Great comment on the fresh air supply as some HVAC guys think it is only to decrease stuffy air in a home and are unaware it decreases cross drafting on cold air from leaks if your returns are deficient. (speaking of myself lol)

Very good presentation, I had no idea people living in cold areas have to go through so much efforts to warm up their homes until I watched this. . I am living at the equator.

Great Job! I really enjoyed your presentation. I'm inspired to do a fire brick version!

really informative vid, just the heater i need in my boat shed so i can work in the winter here in poland. thank you .

Thanks! That's a great video. Good presentation also. I would make a plywood disk with handles to pack the sawdust and maybe buy hinges & latches but other than that you hit a homerun with me with your sawdust stove.

Excellent, you've put a lot of thought into the design. Thanks for posting.

That is just wild. You've been very informative on both videos and wow you fully thought outside of the box and this was freaking awesome

Great. I've seen (YT) and know the principle. Your practical 'demo' fits my lack of fantasy - I really could use some warm in the winter though I've little sawdust, so I'll follow your work pattern. Love the rib on the door - its born to fit that way! Thanks for sharing the fun, and the 'eye' I seem to lack. Together we're much stronger.

You're a talented fella, thanks for taking the time to make your videos............. you're an inspiration

Very impressed with this project !! Like how the pipe stays cool, And no ash to speak of .. Awesome build ..

Agreed. Factual, to the point and very informative without musical irritant. Well done pal.

Not sure why the algorithm brought these two videos up after so long but that's okay. The first one reminded me of a fireplace in my parent's home that I minded growing up. Forgive me if I get the terms wrong after all these decades but it heats the water for the house and radiators. Big copper water tank in a closet. The fireplace had a back burner that I would stuff full of sawdust and then just a regular fire in the front. Boy could I get that thing roaring. Sometimes I'd have to go run the hot water as the boiler would start making noises. lol. We cut reject timber from a saw mill. Taking home a huge trailer load at a time. That's where got the sawdust. We also got big trailers of off-cuts from the local kitchen furniture factory. Lots of laminated plywood to chop up. Fun! And finally we also for a few years went up the mountain to stack and dry turf for the fire. Mom went to oil heating when I went off to college. lol.

Very nice video and clear explanation. Thank you for the time and effort you put into the project and sharing.

Time well spent and very clear instructions. Thanks

Brilliant design. Nice description of the project.

Great job. Thank you for taking time to do the video.

A 10 hour burn is pretty impressive. That's a well made stove to draft that well. Good work.

Nice one, great quality and easy to follow. Gonna make a few now my work shop. Thanks

Well done! I am so intrigued by your build that I am...as we speak building one myself. I will make a few changes but basically I like what you have done. Keep up the great work.

Looks like a great hot tub heater! I'm on it.

Very nice and a great burn time. Thanks for sharing.

Great for my work shop and I can use up my sawdust too.

I forgot to mention... really nice stove you built! Thanks for sharing.

excellent job and explanatory videos. The best thing is that local hardwares will be happy to let you take their sawdust off their hands.

The farmers in northern Japan use a stove similar to yours. One thing they do that you did not mention is they heat water as well as heating the building. This was told to me by someone that lived on a farm in Horkido, Japan.

Great videos! Direct and to the point, very nice.

Thanks for posting! Love It!!

thanks for reply thought i had it packed hard and i did move pole around like you showed but guess not enough will try again

Very impressive, well done. Thank you

Awesome job!

great project and thank you for sharing perry

Good job man. I truly enjoyed this video. It was very informative.

I wish I had one of these when I was a kid and cutting and haulin wood!

Outstanding video. I'd love to be able to retro fit this idea into an existing wood burning stove in my basement installed by a previous owner. Loading sawdust burn logs (buckets/barrels) seems a whole lot easier than dealing with the whole firewood cycle (cut/spilt/stack/haul/stack/load/burn/ash disposal). I can get tons of sawdust and used cooking oil in the area. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Excelente, Felicitaciones; saludos cordiales,desde Temuco Chile

great heater , like how you put the flue lower and the deflector to stop heat going straight up. i will make this for greenhouse/ add Gerrysdiys oil burner for when i have no sawdust and I'm Good. Thanks heaps

You rule man, thank. you for the good job, and very nice explication.

felicitari, zilele astea o sa lucrez la un asa proiect! good job!

Good job. Very informative.

hey my friend. One of the best vids so far! 2 things. 1. how about a restricter plate to adjust the air flow going in to slow down the burn and last longer? 2. How about a donut size steel plate to put on top of the saw dust to keep it compressed as it's burning? Again. Great video!

Great well done not been on your chanell for a wail nice to see your still at it

I've never seen one of these working, very interesting.

Good job! I think that if you tumble your sawdust with a little waste oil, you'll be able to pack it better. Also, I'd pour less in, before packing. You'll get a tighter pack and longer burn if you pack it in smaller amounts at a time. The oil should ensure a complete burn, even with a tighter pack. Also, now you have ashes to put on top of the next burn. :)

like it a lot, I am waiting for the next episode.

Nice little stove!

Great vid, thanks.

Very nice! I can you put a lot of thought into it and it paid off. I'm going to have to make one for my shop, I have plenty of hardwood sawdust from my wood working and part of my sawmill.

Great video. Job well done.

Came out great m nice to see it in action

Awesome...I'd like to have one to bring out with us on our ice fishing parties

Nicely done!

Again, excellent video. Need you for a neighbor. Hahaha! Keep going, Google, Apple, Dell and others all started in the American garage. All the best.

What a brilliant idea. If I can find the right parts I'm making one of them. We keep Gerbils and they use sawdust and paper/card bedding which has to go in the bin. I could heat my garage with it instead. It sure beats the gas cylinder stove.

Friggin cool bro. Love your videos!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job man, you have skills.

Not bad atall. I've seen a few versions of this around, usually using a 20 gal barrel for the sawdust charge.If you use a wooden rod, rather than a pipe for central hole, put a slight taper on it. It makes it easier to remove without disturbing the sawdust. Another possibility is to attach angle irons to the outside barrel, think radiator fins. If you attach sections of angle to the inside of the outer barrel, at an angle, you increase the air turbulence. This will help insure heat transfer and help with burning the combustibles.

This is beautiful

Great job

Quality posts. Thank you.

You are something else man !!cool little project

wow thats impressive... I can't believe how well that works, and that was just sawdust! Really makes a regular woodstove look ridiculous lol

Nice work.

great job

Awesome video and a great idea. We have a few of those barrels laying around at the farm. Even the 30 gallon ones. Might have to try this.

Hello.. nice set up.. I have built a few of these and found waste cooking oil mixed in with saw dust before packing will add alot of BTU out put, I built one with a 4 foot diameter cattle trough too

creative!Thanks,man!

Awesome! I think if you put a damper on the cold air you could make it burn a lot longer.

just a thought but what if you ran some flexible copper tubing around the burn barrel that ran to an external radiator. if you filled it with water the convection of the hot water should circulate it and you could either have a water heater or a secondary heat source to increase efficiency. im thinking something along the lines of the woodburning hottub designs. This is a great idea i have a woodshop that creates alot of sawdust occasionally i can fill a 55 galon trashcan in a weekend now i might find good use for it!

I'm impressed

very nice video

Well done!

I'm amazed at the ideas that you come up with. For those of us who don't have access to saw dust, I'm wondering if you designed an affordable pellet stove.

thanks for the info

Nice job

im a believer now !!

Gracias por compartir tu trabajo, el alto costo de los energéticos obliga a buscar alternativas y la solución esta en la bio-masa saludos de México.

About to buy a sawmill and was looking for either a way to turn sawdust into logs/chips for heating my shop with but this would work just fine other than the lid that thin would burn out within a month, needs a thick plate welded to it on stands so the thick plate could take the direct flame and spread it to the lid imo. Good idea though thanks.

really nice!!

That works Great !!!

Very nice video

Good stuff

you can also use any bio mass like rice bran.

Good video. i like it. 👍👍👍👍

Once again....genius! Oh by the way I think your wife requested the Christmas lights need to be down by Easter :-)

you rock dude! :-)

id love to make one,just dont have access to saw dust.the only different thing id do is make a press for the sawdust,i think it would burn longer and would hold more.

i would make a press to pack more saw dust,i feel it would burn longer

Thank you for these two great video's . I have been thinking about making one myself> I have a Cabinet shop with all that free sawdust it would be free heat. Thank you again for sharing! Mike

the more I think about it this is a perfect heater for a green house if it can stay hot for 8-10 hrs and vent through a flew that's all you need for overnight heating so I will be building one after the greenhouse is built later this summer thanks

That is great! I wonder how long the fire would last if one included firewood with the sawdust. I would guess much longer.

Hi love the videos. I am moving back to Alaska soon So I need to make my stove burn for a min of 12 hours got any ideasKaty

Thank you very much for such a comprehensive video. I'm dyslexic so find written instructions difficult but I was with you through every part of the construction. I particularly liked the door and its latching mechanism, very clever, elegant and practical. I had seen a video of a finished sawdust burner and had already got hold of a 55 gallon drum and had been designing in my head the various other aspects but now, with your delightfully presented construction I'm not going to make all the inevitable errors I would have done. May I make one suggestion; where you use four legs three might be more practical. A tripod is always more stable than a four point support. Thanks again.

Awesome

very cool (or hot if I were Paris Hilton LOL) My rocket stove doesnt really work that well. Dont know what I did wrong. Oh well I got to many other things to work on. That amazing how long it burns and I bet if you run out of saw dust you can go to cabinet makers and get all you want for free.

I like what you have done. I can think of some improvements. i.e. Weld a quarter or three eights plate under the lid so the lid doesnt burn out and so the heat is retained for longer. The inner barrel could have a reducing cap so that the flame size is reduced
