Fire Pit J-Tube Rocket Stove

Basics

  • A J-Tube Rocket Stove in the form, size, and aesthetic of a brick firepit
  • Will be a firepit, with less smoke and added utility (stove on the "chimney", better area heating)
  • Would make a great addition to a public space, patio, etc\
  • Need to make sure this geometry works
  • Goal is to have a rocket stove you can just "chuck logs in"

Industry Standards

  • N/a ?

Existing Open Source Designs

Minimum Viable Requirements

  • Fuel Chamber Size is around the size of a standard brick fireplace
  • Chimney can have a stove pot holder on it
  • Can also be used as a standard fireplace
  • In or above ground
  • Removable brick, or hatch in the flat portion of the chimney for ash/debris/water removal

Basic Design

"Cold" side

  • A ~1m cube of fire brick and mortar

Burn Tube

  • A ~10cm cube (or perhaps 20x10x10?)

"Hot" Side

  • A 10cm square that extends up as high as needed

Pot Holder

Misc

  • Optional Hatch (instead of loose brick) for ash/debris/water removal
  • Optional 10cm square to ~5-10cm round hole reducer plate (high heat cement perhaps?) on top of the chimney
  • Hydronic module and/or teg
  • blower to encourage chimney use, or simple air tube/hole? see CFD section

BOM

CAD

CFD

  • MAY be needed to determine chimney length and if this geometry would even work
