Three Combustion Zone Wood Stove Making 

I made a steel stove for my new workshop and idea was to make a three combustion zone wood stove to take maximum heat from wood. Watch the installation process and first test in the next video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSkg5WBrl9I.html

Love your builds and your sense of humor. I actually backed up twice because something was off when you knocked the "door" out and it took three watches to get it. I'm awestruck at your video editing to keep things moving. It is just slow enough to not be "fast forward". You put just as much hard work into the video as you do in the projects and it's absolutely admirable on both counts. Thank you so much for your dedication.

I HOPE the stove works well. Keep us all in the loop Sir. 😀😀😀

@GRINwood, add a small window in the door that is just big enough to see in looking down and up to observe the lower chamber combustion action and/or the air flow action that can be seen through the door inside. You might want to put a couple of very small REMOVEABLE windows in the stove higher up to be able to actually SEE the 2nd and 3rd burn chambers action, to help you adjust the fuel, heat and air flows to optimum efficiency.

@GRINwood, we are excited to see your video of installing and testing your stove design and the results of how well it works and how much control you have over the available airflow through the internal air/heat passages. We really look forward to you getting it working controllably and efficiently and then SHARING the final design PLANS with all of us as you said you would do. You may really HELP a lot of people to be able to build a heating stove that heats well and doesn't have to burn that much wood to do it. 👍

Impressive! Impressed you move all that metal up and down the ladder into basement too!

The real value of this stove is the huge amount of radiating surface area. I have never seen a stove with a design like this. It looks more like an industrial heater for a power station. Looks like it will work very well, maybe even too well;) I am anticipating part 2.

How many zip cut wheels were destroyed in the making of this video? I sympathize with people who have to use them, but admire the determination of those who will use them to get a job done. Be careful, they are one of the most dangerous tools in the metal workers arsenal if not used with caution. I have the scars to prove it.

An incredible project. Thanks for share it

A man after my own heart!! I was about 35 years old before I realized that there is actually 'new' steel in the world and that not all steel had to have rust removed from it!!! Imagine my surprise! I had no idea it was so easy to bounce strike an arc. Good job.

This is a wonderful work of art.

I love your projects, because even u make something to your workshop it still need have perfect mesure, perfect degrees. Everything for you must be perfect. Chapeau bas!

Well thought out, can't wait to see the test burn. I would only have added a window in the door so that you actually can see how it burns and adjust the air vents accordingly.

Привет, очень понравилось видео, я думаю не мне одному хочется увидеть её в действии, такое видео как релакс, а особенно когда смотришь видео в действии как она заработает, ты молодец, очень крутое видео.

Wonderful! Cant wait to see how it works.

Amazing Build !, I loved the detail on the breathers. That stove must weight a ton !

It's looking pretty impressive, Gregory! Looking forward to the next video! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Not only an amazing carpenter but a bloody good fabricator/welder as well ! I never watch anything in 360p but I couldn`t wait for it to come out in a higher resolution. Watched the whole thing because I was so fascinated and wanted to know where you were going with it ! I really hope that design works because it damn well deserves to ! Brilliant ! = ) As a side note... I hope you and yours are keeping safe and well despite the troubles your wonderful country is enduring. Stay safe. Slava Ukraine !

What a great design.

Must say I'm very impressed 👍

This is really inspiring me to finally learn welding.

That, my friend, is an awesome build. And very well documented, for those of your viewers with the skill, materials and equipment necessary to copy your design. I don't think I'm ready to take on such a monumental task, but fortunately am not likely to need a stove like that in the near future--where I live the temperature rarely dips below 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius)!

@GRINwood, you put a lot of thought into your design, you measured, cut, ground and welded very accurately as well. Your design LOOKS like it should work, and work well. You do probably NEED to add small, removeable (bolt-on or clamp-on) observation windows higher up on one side of the stove that allow you to see into the 2nd and 3rd combustion chambers so you can adjust the air and heat flow balance to optimum. Good job on the planning and fabricating of your stove, well done! If it needs some adjustments made to the design you should be able to do them, maybe another control point or two for the internal air flow, or a couple of mechanical thermometers mounted on the outside to show you the temperatures at certain places inside the burn chambers. You could also use a digital readout laser temperature gun to check the temperature in different spots. We're all excited to watch you testing your stove soon. 👍

That’s a helluva good build my friend! You done a fantastic job on the entire build. Absolutely brilliant, I have little doubt that it won’t work just as you planned. Top notch craftsmanship my friend, I can rightfully judge you as I’ve spent the last 35 years of my life doing this very kind of work. Well done man!

Перестаньте обманывать зрителей. Это не "буржуйка". Это бытовой ядерный реактор малой мощности. Лайк однозначно.

How can one Person be such a Genius with Wood AND Metal? Absolutely astonishing Work man! Love it & thank you for Sharing your skills 🎉

Interesting. Very nice work

Nicely done. Brawo 👏👏

Nice work!

Все как всегда не докопаешься). Очень интересная буржуйка получилась. Ждем еще видео. Удачи и всего хорошего!!!

Beautiful

Nice work

Love the project and your sensible videoing and editing.

Nadam se da ćemo videti nastavak. Svaka čast.

Excelente trabajo amargo. Te felicito 👏👏👏

You made a pleasant video to watch.

Super poêle pour super atelier Merci du partage

ottima, davvero ingegnoso il modo per dividere le zone di combustione, bravo

Good job man.

Very cool.

'Super well done video, clear and fast! filmer excellent.

Uau!!! Excelente trabajo amigo!!! Gracias por compartirlo!! Espero ansioso la 2da. parte! Un abrazo! Germán, Lomas de Solymar, Uruguay.

Looks great. I hope it works and I would like to see the plans once you confirmed it does do what you intended. Thanks for the video

Super! Danke!😍🤗

@GRINwood, this was a great video and project, the editing was very well done so that everything was easy to watch, you didn't make the fast-forward video parts TOO fast, people like to be able to SEE the different steps and parts of a project as it is being done. ;)

Great stove, I'm sure it will work well - he used a ruler with centimetres and millimetres. 🙂

Very well thought out plan, can't wait for test video, i'm now subbed

Looking forward to the next video to see how successful this stove is Thank you Sir

Great! Make another burning it the stove please. I think it will work great!

phantastic work, I hope you and your family live secure. Long live the ukraine!!!

🏆 Pulling the old stove apart is going to be fun... what mess it'll make with all that soot.

Excelente trabajo, impresionante👏👏👏. Saludos desde Argentina 🤚👍 Voy a haber la segunda parte del video.

Cool ! 👍👏👏😉

Ты молодец 👍 и видео отлично смонтировал 👍

Those "C" channels are perfect for heat transfer, and the heavy metal should last for many years!

This is the art of work, design and stove!!!. Thank a lor for sharing this video. I think, everybody wants to buy it.

Чекаємо продовження. Все дуже круто!

Secondary combustion accurse at around 1200 degrees f . I had to make some adjustment's to my stove to achieve complete combustion . You will find that once up to temp you don't need much primary air . I run about 90% on the secondary burn air which makes the stove very efficient. I like the design , a heat exchanger added to the top can make it much more efficient if you heating a bid area . I have a build video of the heat exchanger ,it heats my 56x40x16 ft shop easily

судя по кол-ву металла, в этой работе были достигнуты ещё 2 достижения, эталон кубометра и тонны ))))

I accidentally put my comment in your second video. Now I have to watch that one. Great stuff !!!

Danke.

Bravo

Дякую,побачив, зберіг собі. Якраз в літню кухню потрібно. Велике дякую Вам.

Good proyect, i love this stove, please film and upload the test

I love the design and your skills.. the only thing i miss is the Ash compartment but i think its easy to put another level on the underside to have an Ashbox..

very nice build. a small window would be nice to see how the fire looks like, and check the second burn. but overal very nice.

Автору благодарность и уважение! Задумка Очень интересная. Очень хочется увидеть в действии, особенно некое подобие отчета по результатам работы: расход дров, температура, время выхода на рабочий режим третьей камеры. Есть к конструкции один вопрос - как чистить третью камеру... Да и зольник съемный не помешал бы, ибо выгребать даже тот мизер золы, который будет оставаться - то еще развлечение ))

Molto bello.... grazie per il video 😊😊❤❤❤

Awesome! Now the trick is a chimney heat exchanger to suck the heat out of the exhaust and into the room. Trust me this is an extra 35% of heat that wastes up the chimney. Even elcheapo heat exchangers suffice, but i wager you'll build a badass one!

I like how many attention goes into pre-heating the air. However, I wonder if the combustion zones get completely hot enough. Other designs, normal stoves and rocket stoves, often have insulation to have a certain area of the stove very hot.

Muy buen trabajo 👍👍👍 Quisiera verla funcionando y cuánto levanta de temperatura Muchas gracias Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾

Judging by a combustion chamber size it's in 50-70kWh range, means it will need a lot of fresh air to burn properly. It's always a good thing in diy projects to make fresh air duct from outside of the heated area to prevent stove using all breathable air. Also, without fire bricks layer within it will easily heat up iron up to the red glow, softening the steel and welding points over time so some sort of forced air will be needed to cool it down. Stove sized like this one is sufficient for heating poorly insulated 200m2 space with dT=40*C (out -20*, inside +20*) with ease.

Great work! In the next video pls document how is this functioning. In theory in the first "chamber" the c tunnels will so hot because the tip of the flame heats it, that might drag air under the fire instead of outside, beacuse there are more intakes open inside versus how many air can be dragged from outside. Hope i am wrong!

I really hope that workshop is ventilated

Glooves, glasses, mask, ear protection ... that all says "I know ..." and comes my subscription

Печь получилась хорошая, сделано аккуратно. Но желаю подсказать, что на дно топки хорошо бы уложить шамотный кирпич или какой нибудь другой теплоизолятор, выдерживающий высокие температуры, для того чтобы прогорающие угли не охлаждались железом и более полно сгорали. Удачи!

Can you imagine a company which would build such stove from the basic elements at the customer site? :D

Well, I think it's sturdy enough. You could probably roll that thing down a mountain, and it would be just like new at the bottom.

bit of advice, I'd cut a piece of wood to go into that hole in the floor, one that will snug up the fit ,that's exactly where a 10mm socket wil lgo first ime you drop one.

It looks like a very good design, and very well executed! Slava Ukraïni! ❤️🇺🇦🔱✌️

Very cool...Well maybe I should say Hot? LOL but whatever the I-beam sides are a great idea. More surface area for heat transfer and it should keep things away from the hottest part..

cool maybe a white pizza oven at top -Ü- #3 (as a heat eschanger)

素晴らしい🎉

Отличная работа! Большое Спасибо за увлекательно-позновательное видео👍 Слава Украине и привет из Днепра🤝

nice to see a chippy who can at least work some basic metal tools too.

Фундаментально , мощно , красиво ! Мастеру -респект !

Wiw! That is a furnace and a half! What is the weight of this monster? What is the expected heat power output?

In my experience, these thin steel profiles inside the stove will deteriorate very quickly. The grate and the ash pot are missing from this design, which makes it necessary to extinguish the stove to remove the ashes. This may not be a problem in the workshop, as the stove will be dark and cold every morning, but in continuous firing this does not work. Instead of a lot of steel distributing a lot of air, it would have been better to give a lot of chamotte bricks ensuring the right combustion temperature. This is the basis of good results. The stove itself, as currently designed, will give unpleasant very dry and very hot air.

What efficiency are you expecting of it? Will it be comply with the eu ecodesign?

Wszystko jest super ale gdzie popiół będzie oddawany w czasie palenia i jak to będzie wydalany tam nie ma drugich drzwiczek tylko są jedne drzwiczki na drewno i na węgiel a ja mam możliwości żeby popiołów wybrać coś jest nie tak ale super pomysł jest z tym piecem przepływowym Pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Really cool concept - bring in fresh air to combust any unburnt particles. I don't understand how the second combustion zone works though. Where does it get its air?

по внешнему периметру вертикальных труб наварить, частоколом. Для повышения теплоотдачи.

Очень аккуратный и основательный подход. Идея со вторичным дожигом - топчик. А почему подовая, а не колосниковая?

Good job but it will have one issue. U don't have ash container, how u plane to clean stove?

с 20007 года крашу машины. В 3М маске от пыли защищают только предварительные фильтра из хлопчатобумажных вкладышей, которых у вас нет. Внутри кассет фильтров находится гранулированный активированный уголь, который защищает от испарений растворителей и так далее. Используйте маску правильно - берегите здоровье.

should the top be able to be opened in order to clean it?

I don't know if this has been suggested below in Cyrillic. If there is anyway to directly duct the combustion air to the combustion chamber from outside do so. The heating efficiency will be greatly improved. If the room air is used for combustion it is replaced by unheated air from outside.

Смущают отверстия вторички. В пиролизных котлах с принудительной подачей воздуха видел такое решение - брали круглые трубы, с отверстиями, и вставляли по бокам, они могли в случае необходимости доставаться на чистку, либо замену.

My dude just made that look way too easy. That's weeks worth of fabrication and labor.
