Rocket stove with stove bench. Do-it-yourself robinson rocket stove. Reactive oven

This device, despite our brave space achievements, is still not widely known in our country. And for sure, only a few are interested in how to make a rocket furnace with their own hands, because they do not understand the principle of its operation.

This is a relatively new word in the domestic heating environment, which came from Germany. The key to unprecedented popularity in the homeland is a simple cheap design, coupled with high efficiency and with the slightest absence of signs of soot. Considering that it is not difficult to make equipment on your own, we will tell you how to do it, we will give drawings, recommendations from specialists, videos and photos.

Principle of operation

Oddly enough, but the very name "rocket furnace" has nothing to do with space or rockets themselves. The only analogy that can remotely remind of this is a jet of flame rising up in mobile installations.

The design feature of the furnace is the presence of a bell, where flue gases enter and where the final combustion of the sludge takes place. Under the cap, the temperature already during the first 2 hours rises to 1000 0 C, as a result of which everything burns without sediment, and the exhaust is formed only in the form of steam and carbon. In this case, gases circulate freely through the channels without forced draft, which is usually created by a chimney.

This design allows you to use the stove not only for heating the room, but also for heating food or water (on the hood). If the chimney is run through a certain part of the room, up to the sunbed, it will also heat up.

Among the main advantages of rocket furnaces are the following:

high efficiency - 85%;
very fast heating of the room - 50 sq.m. in 45-60 minutes;
the absence of soot and, as a result, soot deposits - at temperatures above 1000 degrees, everything burns out without residue;
the ability to use any solid fuel;
minimum flow- at the same temperature and duration of burning, a rocket furnace consumes 4-5 times less fuel than a conventional furnace.

The simplest rocket works according to the direct combustion formula - these are mobile structures that are easily assembled in field conditions literally from improvised materials and are also easily dismantled.

The simplest design from a barrel or gas cylinder

If we are talking only about the first stages of self-manufacturing of a rocket furnace (see video), then it is still worth starting the acquaintance with the simplest design. The camp stove is presented in the form of a bent pipe section, where the fuel chamber and the ash pan are combined.

For fuel, a steel plate is welded to the bottom, at the bottom of which a hole is cut for air suction.

It is possible to use any straight cylindrical container for manufacturing - the drawing of the rocket furnace shows how the direct combustion process takes place.

Brick rocket stove in 20 minutes

If you have 20-30 bricks on hand, you can make a simple rocket stove with your own hands in just a few minutes. Moreover, no adhesives are required for masonry.

Lay out of brick, as shown in the photo, a vertical combustion chamber. At the same time, the dishes are placed on the hood in such a way as not to impede the movement of the emitted gases

Do-it-yourself rocket-type brick oven:

For this design to work well, a warm pipe is needed. This term among stove-makers refers to the preliminary run of chips and paper so that the pipe warms up. IN cold pipe there will be stagnation of gas, which makes heating difficult. And if the pipe is warm, then when the firewood is ignited, a powerful draft appears in the channel.

For reference. In the above simple designs from a gas cylinder or pipe, there is a significant drawback - the vertical loading of firewood. Each time you have to move firewood into the chamber when they burn out and only after that put it on. Stationary rocket stoves on coal or long burning provide for a vertical bookmark, which greatly simplifies operation.

Do-it-yourself rocket jet furnace scheme

In order to make such a unit with your own hands, you need to decide on the dimensions and structural elements.

How a rocket works:

As can be seen from the drawing, the diameter of the cap (D), which covers the top of the pipe, and its cross section (S) are taken as the basis.

Based on these indicators, the dimensions of the rocket furnace are calculated:

the height of the drum is 2 of its diameter;
the height of the clay coating is 2/3 of the height;
coating thickness - 1/3 of the diameter;
sectional area of the pipe - 7% of its transverse section;
blower area - 1/2 pipe section;
the flame tube horizontally and vertically must be the same;
ash pan volume - 4-6% of the drum height;
the cross-sectional area of the external chimney is a double cross-section of the pipe.
thickness of the insulating layer (adobe cushion) under the outer chimney 60 mm;
the thickness of the coating of the stove bench is 1/4 of the diameter of the drum;
outer pipe height - 4000 mm;
the length of the flue directly depends on the diameter of the drum. If for its manufacture they took a metal container with a diameter of 50-60 cm and a volume of 200 liters, then the length of the flue pipe will be at least 6 meters. If the diameter is half as much, then the bed should be made up to 4 meters.

If you are making a stationary rocket furnace with your own hands, be sure to pay attention to the lining of the top of the pipe. This is necessary to isolate the brazier from the walls of the furnace in order to prevent overheating of the walls. Fireclay bricks can be used for lining.

Photo examples of the original performance

It is noteworthy that not only the walls, but also the lining itself need protection. In order to protect it from combustible gases, you can create a metal sheathing and fill it with river sand. For this purpose, you can use any metal object at hand - a barrel, a bucket, galvanization.

The sand is poured into the bucket layer by layer, with each layer watered abundantly for proper compaction. When the protection is filled with sand to the top, leave for 7-10 days to dry.

The lining of the brazier is done much faster - fireclay bricks are laid on the clay mortar, and the space between the latter and the wall will also have to be covered in layers with sand - with water and drying time.

Pipe lining scheme

All further work on the installation of a jet-type rocket furnace continues only after not only the lining has dried, but also the clay protection, which is applied over the upper cut.

Before doing stationary structure, practice on a marching sample. After the first experience, it will become clear even if you have not read books for rocket furnaces.

Disadvantages of the heater

Often this device is used to heat food or water - indeed, a huge amount of heat, a red-hot cap, why not take advantage of this idea? However, connecting a water circuit in order to heat the whole house, and not a room, is impossible. The design is so simple that any intervention, including the coil, will disrupt the course of work.
Surprisingly, such a lightweight mobile heating device is completely unsuitable for either a bathhouse or a garage. Even with its high efficiency, the camping installation will not heat the air in the steam room to the required minimum. And in a garage or warehouse, it is not recommended to use appliances with direct open flames.

In this article, we will give an example of a camping installation, for which no masonry or finishing materials are needed.

Necessary materials:

2 buckets;
pipe from of stainless steel;
river sand or crushed stone for lining.

Step 1. Cut a hole in the sidewall of one of the buckets along the diameter of the pipe at a height of 5 cm from the bottom. The height should be enough to fill the bucket with gravel or sand.

Step 2. Divide the pipe into 2 parts - a short loading section and a pancake knee-chimney.

Step 2. Insert the pipe into the hole in the bucket.

Step 4. Cut, by analogy with item 1, a hole in the bucket, but already directly in the bottom. The hole diameter corresponds to the pipe diameter. Insert the pipe.

Step 5. Pour sand or gravel into the bucket, which will act as a heat accumulator of the flame tube.

Step 6. Making legs or stands. For this, ordinary reinforcement is suitable, which is bent under pressure and the base is cut out.

Rocket stove from a gas cylinder

This is a sophisticated improved version, for the manufacture of which you will need an already used gas cylinder and a 4 mm rectangular pipe.

The scheme remains exactly the same with the only exception that combustible gases are discharged from the side through the hole, and not from above, as happens with marching samples.

If there is a need to cook or heat food, the upper part of the cylinder with a tap is cut off, and a flat plate is welded on top.

Video 2 We make a do-it-yourself rocket stove

If it is planned to make a rocket furnace from a gas cylinder, then you can not be afraid of difficulties. The steps to create equipment from such building materials are quite simple:

from a cylinder with a volume of 50 liters, the upper part is cut off in order to build a kind of cap;
The balloon is cut at the top and bottom
focusing on the instructions in the drawing, all parts of the product are welded to each other, that is, a gas cylinder, a pipe with a diameter of 10 cm (future chimney), a pipe with a diameter of 7 cm (internal channel) and another pipe with a diameter of 15 cm (firebox);
Dimensions are in mm
the space between the two pipes is filled with a material that retains heat, for example, sand, which has been carefully calcined, that is, cleaned of organic substances;
legs are welded to give stability to the structure.

To build a rocket stove with a stove bench, which involves the use of bricks, you need to act differently:

The area for arranging the firebox is deepened by removing 10 cm of soil. The combustion chamber is formed from fireclay bricks. A formwork is created along the contour of the manufactured structure. To make the foundation strong, it is recommended to lay in it reinforcing mesh or metal rods;
The platform will harden in about two days
The structure is poured with liquid concrete. Then they wait for the solution to harden, and finish the job. Bricks are laid in a continuous line, creating a platform for the furnace. After that, the walls of the structure are formed, exposing several rows of brick blocks;
They equip the lower channel of the structure, while one line of bricks is laid across to block the combustion chamber. The blocks are placed, leaving the vertical channel and the opening of the firebox open;
Two sectors of the furnace at this stage of construction must be open
They find a body from an old boiler and cut off the top and bottom covers on it. At the bottom of the resulting pipe, a flange is installed through which a horizontal heat exchanger will pass. Parts need to be connected to each other with a continuous weld;
Work requires diligence
An outlet pipe is inserted into the barrel, after which they take a brush for metal and scrape rust from the walls of the container. The cleaned barrel is treated with a primer, and a little later - with paint that is resistant to high temperatures;
The horizontal chimney is connected by welding to the side outlet - the future ash pan. To facilitate its cleaning, a sealed flange is mounted;
Spread the flame tube of refractory bricks. At the same time, a channel with a height and width of 18 cm is formed inside the structure. While doing this, they constantly use the building level, which allows you to control the verticality of the product;
The height of the pipe is predetermined
The flame tube is covered with a protective casing, and the resulting gaps are clogged with perlite. The lower area of the vertical channel is sealed with wet clay, the function of which is to prevent spillage thermal insulation material on the floor;
From the boiler, on which the top and bottom were cut off, a fuel tank is formed. A handle must be welded to it;
To improve the appearance, the structure is treated with adobe putty, consisting of sawdust and raw clay. The first component of the composition serves in the same way as crushed stone in concrete, that is, it prevents cracking of the furnace walls. It is recommended to apply adobe putty on top of perlite backfill;
They create the facade of the furnace, for which the furnace circuit is laid out of stone, bricks, adobe and sand. The wrong side of the structure is filled with crushed stone, and the front side is filled with adobe mixture, which makes the surface perfectly even;
A casing made of a metal barrel is placed on the previously created base. The lower branch pipe of the tank is directed towards the bench. The bottom of the structure is treated with raw clay, which will ensure its tightness;
A channel from a corrugated pipe is brought to the combustion chamber. It will serve as a link between the firebox and the atmosphere from the outside;
At this stage, the oven looks almost finished.
A test kindling of the furnace is carried out, looking at how the gases are removed from the horizontal chimney. After that, the heat exchanger pipes are connected to the lower branch pipe installed on the red brick platform;
The furnace is supplemented with a pipe for removing smoke. The junction of the chimney and the heat generator is sealed with refractory coating and asbestos cord;
Using clay and adobe, the couch is given the desired shape. Only the horizontal section of the structure is left unsealed, which will then be used during cooking.
The furnace functions as a whole system

Reactive device with a warm bed

One of the variations of such heating units is a rocket stove with a berth. It is based on the same principle of pyrolysis. The difference lies in the design of the heat exchanger itself. The long channels of the device are made of non-combustible materials and are interconnected. This design is placed under the plane of the bed.

The ledge itself is a surface made of clay, stone or brick, inside which hot air circulates through the channels of the heat exchanger. During the operation of the jet furnace, the gas obtained by pyrolysis moves through the pipes under the bench, gives off heat and is discharged through the chimney located on the street. Its height reaches 3000-3500 mm.

The furnace device with a firebox is located near one of the edges of the bench. Often there is also a hob, with which a homemade rocket stove can also be used for cooking.

The stone or clay surface of the couch is covered with a wooden flooring or mat made of bamboo or straw. This is necessary for the comfort of the user, because the couch serves as a bed at night, and during the day as a seat. The peoples of Asia traditionally used a rocket stove for eating, equipping the stove bench with a special low table.

It is important to note that this type of furnace device consumes fuel resources quite economically. To heat the unit, an armful of medium-sized dry branches is enough

Due to the fact that the brick rocket stove retains heat for a long time, having heated it once in the evening, you can enjoy the comfort created all night without worrying about the next fuel tab.

The easiest way is to make a small portable oven with your own hands - a Robinson rocket, whose drawing is presented below. You will need trimming of profile pipes, metal for legs and stands, as well as skills in conducting welding work. Moreover, compliance with the exact dimensions indicated in the drawing is not necessary. You can take pipes of a different section, you just need to reduce or increase them proportionally so that the parts fit together.

Drawing of an improved Robinson camping stove with nozzles from a profile pipe, cut lengthwise into 2 parts

Note

Please note that the drawing shows a design improved by our expert. As befits a rocket, improvised nozzles are attached to it, where secondary air enters for afterburning, which enters the pipe through a series of holes

Due to this modernization, the intensity of combustion is noticeably increased. For more information about the operation of a compact wood stove, see the video:

The most common options for large rocket stoves are made from a gas cylinder or a 200-liter metal barrel. It must be understood that these finished elements are used as an outer cap, and the internal parts of the stove must be made from pipes of a smaller diameter or laid out from fireclay bricks. Moreover, from the cylinder you can make both a stationary heater with a small bench, and a unit that can be moved.

It should be noted right away that it is rather difficult to calculate the thermal power of a rocket-type furnace, since there is no single methodology for this. It is easier to rely on ready-made drawings of already working samples and assemble according to them. It is only necessary to compare the dimensions of the future stove with the dimensions of the heated room. For example, for heating small room the size of the cylinder is enough, in other cases it is better to take a large barrel. The selection of internal parts for them is shown in the diagram:

Balloon Rocket Furnace

In addition to the gas cylinder itself, to assemble the stove you will need:

profile pipe 150 x 150 mm for the firebox and the hopper;
steel pipes with a diameter of 70 and 150 mm will go to the internal vertical channel;
the same with a diameter of 100 mm for the chimney;
insulation (basalt fiber with a density of at least 100 kg / m³);
sheet metal 3 mm thick.

For the master who owns the welding business, this work will not present much difficulty. At the cylinder, cut off the upper part along the seam, having previously turned out the valve and filled it to the top with water. On the sides, openings are cut out on both sides for the installation of a firebox and a chimney tie-in. The profile pipe is inserted and connected to a vertical channel, which is brought out through the bottom of the cylinder. Further work on the manufacture of the rocket furnace is carried out in accordance with the drawing:

At the end, the upper part must be welded into place, then carefully check all the seams for permeability so that air does not enter uncontrollably into the furnace. After that, you can attach a chimney with a water jacket (if any) and start testing.

Important. To create sufficient traction, the top of the pipe must be raised above the level of the firebox to a height of 4 m

Brick rocket-type heater masonry

This version of the stove will require the cost of buying fireclay bricks; a regular ceramic one for a rocket stove will not work. Masonry is carried out on a solution of chamotte clay, this is also commercially available. First you need to dig a hole, tamp the bottom and fill the foundation with dimensions of 1200 x 400 mm and a height of 100 mm, as shown in the photo:

After hardening, the foundation is covered with a sheet of basalt cardboard and the combustion chamber, the firewood hopper and the vertical channel are being laid. From the end of the combustion chamber, a door is installed for cleaning the ash pan. When the clay has dried, the pit is filled up, and a pre-selected pipe or a small barrel with a diameter of 450 mm is put on the vertical channel. The gap between the brickwork and the walls of the pipe is filled with refractory insulation, for example, basalt wool.

On last step a cap made of a large metal barrel with a diameter of 600 mm is put on the structure. Previously, a cutout is made in its upper part and a pipe is placed for connecting the chimney. When the barrel turns over, he will just be at the bottom. Further - a matter of technology, you can take the chimney immediately outside or build another stove bench with smoke turns. For this purpose, an ordinary ceramic brick and a clay-sand mortar will already fit. ordering brickwork a rocket stove with a small bench is shown in detail in the video:

Making a Rocket Furnace

The easiest way to make a light camping stove shown in the drawing is to find in household the following materials:

round steel pipe with a diameter of 133-150 mm and a length of 0.5 m;
pipe profile section 14 x 20 cm, length 0.4 m;
metal sheet 2-3 mm thick for grate;
bar Ø8-10 mm for legs;
scraps of iron on a stand.

The vertical round pipe is welded to the profile pipe at an angle of 45 °, then eyelets for the legs are attached to the body (they should be easily removed). A grate is placed inside the inclined firebox, a lid is attached outside. For the convenience of cleaning the ash below, it is desirable to install a second door.

Advice. Be sure to weld a stand to the upper cut of the fire channel - gases must penetrate between the bottom of the dish and the body, otherwise there will be no “rocket” thrust.

Drawing of an improved version of a portable furnace

The design of the furnace can be improved by organizing the supply of secondary air inside the flame tube. Modernization will increase the efficiency and duration of burning firewood. Drill holes on the sides on both sides, covering them with rocket "nozzles" according to the drawing. How this stove works is shown in the video:

From a gas bottle

The following materials will be used to make a furnace - rockets with their own hands:

round pipes with cross-sectional dimensions of 70 and 150 mm; with a wall thickness of 4 mm;
square corrugated pipe 150-200 mm in diameter;
chimney pipe Ø10-15 cm;
low-carbon steel (grade St20) sheet;
dense basalt wool (80-120 kg/m3) or loose fire resistant materials, for example, vermiculite or perlite gravel.

To begin with, cut the rolled metal into blanks in accordance with the drawing. Then you need to saw off the lid of the propane cylinder, after unscrewing the valve and filling the tank to the top with water. The tool is an ordinary grinder with a circle for metal.

Further assembly technology is as follows:

Cut the corrugated pipe lengthwise, stepping back from the edge of 35 mm. One part will go to the manufacture of an ash pan, the second - a blower.
Join the firebox and the flame tube at an angle of 90°, making the appropriate cutouts. Cut an opening at the top of the combustion chamber where the hopper will be welded.
Weld the riser with the firebox, then put on a casing from a 150 mm pipe, making a cutout below the width of the combustion chamber.
Install and scald the firewood bunker. Fasten the doors of the firebox and ash pan.
Pour perlite sand between the walls of the afterburner and the shell.
Make a side opening in the balloon to insert the finished structure. The lid is best made removable.
Produce final assembly and weld the chimney pipe.

Details about manufacturing rocket stove from the balloon the master will tell in the video:

from brick

The simplest rocket stove for cooking can be built from bricks without the use of mortar, as shown in the diagram with orders. Such a structure is easy to disassemble and move if necessary.

A rocket stove with a bench should be placed on a foundation made of concrete or rubble stone. Material - ceramic or refractory bricks, sand-clay or fireclay mortar, respectively. The finished base is covered with roofing material for the purpose of waterproofing, then a solid first row of bricks is laid. The further order of work looks like this:

Lay out the firebox, placing the bricks "on edge". Similarly, cover the chamber, leaving the mouth for loading firewood and riser.
Build an afterburner tube with 9 rows of stones placed edge-on with a bandage.
Put a pipe or tin buckets on the riser, fill the resulting cavity with insulation or ordinary sand.
Place the barrel upside down with the flue gas outlet at the bottom.
Fold a brick couch from 3-4 horizontal channels.
Coat the barrels and benches with clay mortar.

Important. The construction is carried out in compliance with the rules of masonry, painted

The length of the smoke channels inside the couch is limited by the draft in the rocket furnace and the external chimney. It is better to keep the total length of the flues within 4 m. To prevent the heater from smoking back into the room, raise the top of the chimney to a height of 5 m, counting from the grate. How to build brick oven- a rocket without a barrel, see the video:

Device and principle of operation

Rocket furnaces have practically nothing to do with the design of rocket engines or jet turbines. On the contrary, they are extremely simple structurally, in contrast to the above devices. The similarity is noticeable only in a quietly noisy flame and high combustion temperature - all this is observed after the stove enters the operating mode.

Consider the device of rocket furnaces - they consist of the following elements:

Firebox - a vertical or horizontal area in which firewood burns;
Combustion chamber (it is also a flame tube, riser) - here the process of fuel combustion takes place with the release a large number heat;
Blower - necessary for the correct operation of the stove and starting the process of burning pyrolysis gases;
Thermal insulation - envelops the vertical part, forming a drum together with the body;
Bed - used for its intended purpose;
Chimney - removes combustion products into the atmosphere, creating traction;
The support under ware - provides unhindered exit of heat.

Depending on the type of rocket furnace, certain elements may be missing.

Rocket furnaces with vertical fireboxes (fuel bunkers) and blowers have the greatest efficiency and convenience - large volumes of fuel are placed here, which ensures long-term combustion.

The most important part of the rocket furnace is the vertical drum. It is in it that the highest temperature is observed, since flames break out here.

In order for it to start working, it must be thoroughly warmed up. Without this, the combustion process will be weak. To warm up, paper, cardboard, small chips or thin branches are placed in the firebox. As soon as the system warms up, the flame in the drum will begin to burn out with a buzz, which is a sign that the operating mode has been reached.

A rocket (jet) stove without a blower burns wood in a direct way. It is simpler, but less efficient. The blower model supplies secondary air to the base of the riser, which causes intense combustion of combustible pyrolysis gases. This increases the efficiency of the unit.

Fireboxes in rocket furnaces are located horizontally or vertically (at any angle). Horizontal fireboxes are not very convenient, since the firewood in them has to be moved to the combustion zone manually, independently. Vertical combustion chambers are more convenient - we load fuel into them and go about our business. As the logs burn, they will fall down, independently moving towards the combustion zone.

Features of the operation of the rocket furnace

Before loading the main fuel, the furnace must be warmed up. This is more about large and multifunctional rocket ovens. In them, without preheating, thermal energy will be used for nothing.
To accelerate the furnace, dry paper, wood shavings, and straw are placed in an open blower. Sufficient heating of the furnace can be determined by the hum in the furnace, which subsequently subsides. Then, the main fuel is put into the heated rocket stove, which is ignited by the accelerating fuel.
At the beginning of the combustion of the main fuel, the blower door is opened completely. After a while, as the stove rumble appears, the blower is covered until the rumble is replaced by a whisper. In the future, to assess the state of combustion of the furnace, it is also necessary to focus on the “stove sound”, slightly opening the blower door when it subsides and covering it when a rumble occurs.
The larger the reactive oven, the smaller the fresh air opening needed. It is advisable to use a separate blower in such a furnace.
The adjustment of the power of the furnace operation can occur only due to the amount of fuel put in, but not due to the air supply.
When making a large rocket furnace on your own, its bunker should be made with a tight-fitting lid, without gaps and cracks. Otherwise, a stable operating mode of the furnace will not be ensured, which is fraught with the consumption of excess fuel energy.
Contrary to popular belief, a rocket stove for a bath is not suitable for installation, since the stove does not emit sufficient infrared radiation, which is necessary for heating walls and giving off convection to the air masses in a bath. The rocket stove for a bath, theoretically, can only be installed using furnace type Shirokov-Khramtsov, whose characteristics are given below.
A rocket stove for a garage is a mobile version of a stove design that can quickly heat up a room. The main element is a heating tank from a pipe.

Fuel types

With proper assembly and operation, a rocket stove can be fired with any type of solid fuel, wood and its waste. For example, branches, leaves, firewood, coal, corn stalks, cones, pieces of chipboard, pieces of furniture. It is possible to load fuel into the furnace both in dry and raw form. This is especially true for its operation in natural conditions, where it is not always possible to find dry raw materials.

Types of stoves for different operating conditions

A rocket stove with a water circuit, brick or metal, can replace the boiler. The heat exchanger here is arranged in the upper part of the flame tube in the form of a surrounding water jacket. Jumpers are located inside the jacket for more efficient heat removal to the coolant. The design is extremely simple, it can heat households up to several tens of square meters.

A rocket stove for a garage can be made from an old pot-bellied gas bottle or barrel. To do this, two holes are made in the selected container - one in the top cover, and the other on the side surface. An L-shaped pipe is inserted inside. With little experience with welding machine, all work will take you a maximum of half an hour.

You can also make an oven of the above-described rocket type from pieces of a square and metal pipe according to the above drawing.

Also, the heating rocket stove "Ognivo-Kozyain" is suitable for heating the garage. This is a shop model made of corrugated aluminum pipe and ordinary sheet iron. It works approximately according to the same scheme and allows you to warm a garage up to 30 square meters. m.

There are no drawings of her in the public domain yet, so you can try to assemble the Flint stove with your own hands based on her photograph. It can also be purchased from the manufacturer's website.

We have already said that a long-burning rocket stove with a water circuit will be required to heat large households. A small household from one room can be heated with a simple stove with a stove bench - this way you save space on furniture. It consists of the following nodes:

Firebox with vertical loading - logs are placed in it;
Afterburner - a horizontal section in front of the riser (flame tube), pyrolysis combustion takes place here;
Riser with a hob - a vertical section with a metal case that gives off heat to the room;
Horizontal channels - they heat the stove bench, after which the combustion products are sent to the chimney.

A rocket stove for heating a house from one room is coated with clay to make a flat and comfortable bed - here you can lay a mattress or a small blanket.

For hiking use, the most simple ovens rocket type, made of metal pipes. They are compact, easy to kindle and extinguish, cool quickly and allow you to quickly cook dinner in the open air. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of fuel loaded, so as not to burn the food with a high-temperature flame.

Operating principle

Despite the simplicity of the design, the rocket oven involves the use of two principles of operation at once:

free flow of wood gases through the channels;
Pyrolysis is the afterburning of gases that are released during combustion.

The simplest rocket stove uses only the first principle of operation, since there are not enough conditions for pyrolysis.

Neat DIY Rocket Stove

First, consider the options for jet stoves used for cooking. In such a device, a short pipe is used as a firebox, located horizontally, and then it goes up. This is the simplest design.

The fuel is loaded into the rocket stove directly into the pipe, after which it is ignited. As a result, a stream of hot gases is formed, which is oriented to go outside, which means it tends to a vertical section.

At the cut of the pipe is placed a container used for water or food. There is a gap between it and the pipe so that the products of combustion can escape.

Many are interested in why such a furnace is called a rocket. The design has a nozzle turned upwards, from which, when the device is in operation, a flame escapes. Hence the name.

Tongues of flame escaping from a rocket stove

Of course, it will not work to warm the room with such a unit. The rocket furnace must be supplemented with a heat exchanger, as well as channels for the removal of combustion products. To ensure high temperature, the vertical part of the pipe is insulated with refractory material.

The nozzle can be covered with a cap. This is necessary for high-quality heat extraction. Bottom horizontal section pipe creates a channel for secondary air supply.

The modern version of the design implies a slightly different design. Such a jet furnace involves the afterburning of pyrolysis gases, which is possible due to the supply of secondary air. In addition, combustion products are collected under the top of the cap, which increases the pressure to excess. Over time, heat is transferred to the outside through the walls of the pipe, which forces the gases to cool and go down. Hot air is waiting for them there, so they have to go into the space between the walls of the cap and the pipe, going to the chimney.

The use of a rocket furnace with a hood on the site

Due to pyrolysis processes, efficiency is significantly increased. And thanks to the flow of gases, a self-regulating system is organized.

Jet furnaces, product drawings

Rocket stoves are divided into portable and stationary. The first devices are smaller and have a simpler design. She reminds upside down "G". Fuel is placed in the lower crossbar. Due to the vertical shape of the main body, natural traction is created.

Photo 1. Drawing and finished version of a metal rocket furnace with dimensions, left and top view.

As the temperature rises, the device works more efficiently. Its power is enough to quickly heat water for cooking for several people. To prevent the firewood from burning out too quickly, you need to adjust the draft in the stove. To do this, cover or completely close the fuel door.

Portable jet furnaces mass-produced. Most popular models "Robinson" and "Flint". Due to the simplicity of the design, they can be made independently.

Stationary devices are somewhat more complicated. In the cap, the air channels are made in such a way that the heated air first rises. Transferring heat to the inner walls, it gradually sinks down. Then it passes into the chimney located at the bottom.

Photo 2. Drawing of a rocket furnace made of bricks and a metal barrel. The arrows show parts of the device.

This oven is quite economical to use, since it burns not only firewood, but also pyrolysis gases. The chimney channel of the furnace is sometimes not taken out of the room immediately, but is carried out inside a stove bench made of brick and / or clay. Such a couch heats the room to a comfortable temperature. The structure itself is made from large diameter pipes, barrels or bricks.

Important! The device needs preheating before the firebox. First, paper, newspaper, or something else flammable is lit

And only firewood is placed in a warmed-up firebox.

Since brick accumulates heat, such devices are well suited for space heating. Taking into account the duration of burning, one bookmark of fuel is enough for 6-8 hours maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Sometimes the oven is made entirely of brick. Only fittings (doors) will need steel or cast iron. In other cases, the outer part of the furnace hood is made from a barrel or a wide pipe.

Attention! A brick oven requires a separate foundation, unrelated to the one being built for the building itself. It is advisable to plan its location before construction begins.

Device from a pipe with a water circuit, diagram

The design of the furnace is welded from iron pipes of different diameters.

If it is supposed to heat a small room, the furnace cap can be made from waste gas cylinder.

In a house of a more impressive size, suitable for these purposes iron barrel.

If a water circuit is installed on the chimney of the furnace, then a long-burning boiler can be obtained, which will heat the room well.

The water circuit is usually made from gas cylinders.

"Robinson"

This is a simple and reliable camp stove. She is quite capable quickly (in 10 minutes) boil a liter water. In this case, you do not need to lay firewood.

The design was developed in the last century, but due to its advantages it is still used today. "Robinson" is mass-produced, but it is easy to assemble it yourself.

"Flint"

This oven is similar to the previous version. But the combustion chamber in it shorter and more obtuse in relation to the chimney. Such a stove resembles an inverted letter "G" in shape.

Step-by-step instruction

Here is an approximate procedure that should be followed in the manufacture of this furnace:

Firebox manufacturing

The firebox is made welded using a steel pipe or sheets. The firebox lid must be hermetically sealed. It should be made of a steel sheet, along the perimeter of which a strip of basalt cardboard is fixed with screws or rivets. For tighter closing, the lid can be equipped with a screw clamping mechanism.

This is how the firebox and ash pan look in the simplest rocket stove

The ash chamber (marked as Primary Ash Pit in the diagram) is separated from the main part of the furnace by a grate welded from a rod with a diameter of 8–10 mm. The grate should be installed on the shelves from the corner, which are welded to the inner walls.

The door of the ash chamber must also be airtight. It is made of steel sheet, to which a steel strip is welded in two rows around the entire perimeter. An asbestos cord or basalt cardboard is placed in the groove between these strips.

It remains to weld the flame tube to the firebox.

primary chimney

A 90-degree bend and a small piece of pipe must be welded to the pipe that serves as the primary chimney, after which this L-shaped structure is placed inside the barrel or cylinder, that is, the future drum.
The outlet with a piece of pipe welded to it should be led out into one of the openings in the lower part of the drum so that the primary chimney is located strictly in the center. Recall that the upper cut of the pipe must be located at least 70 mm below the upper edge of the barrel (cylinder).
After centering the primary chimney, its horizontal shank, which was brought out into the opening in the drum, is welded to its edges with a continuous seam around the entire perimeter.
After that, the shank of the primary chimney is welded to the flame tube, and a tire is welded to the top of the drum.
A short piece of pipe should be welded to the second opening in the drum, which will play the role of a secondary ash pan. In it you need to perform a window for cleaning. Studs must be butt welded along its edges, to which the lid will be screwed (recall that we decided not to install the door in this place, since it is rarely necessary to open it).
A strip of basalt cardboard should be fixed around the perimeter of the lid with screws or rivets.

Chimney installation

We weld the horizontal part of the chimney to the exit of the secondary ash pan, on which a stove bench will subsequently be arranged. If the gas duct is supposed to be made of metal corrugation, then first a short pipe must be welded to the ash pan, and already to it - attach the corrugation with a clamp.

On final stage an external chimney is attached to the horizontal flue.

Furnace lining

The metal part of the furnace is ready, now it needs to be properly plastered with heat-insulating and heat-accumulating compounds.

The lining of the furnace part (up to the primary chimney) should be carried out with a mixture of furnace clay and fireclay bricks, taken in a 1: 1 ratio.

Primary chimney lining

The materials used for lining the primary chimney - light fireclay bricks or river sand - are porous, therefore, in the open state, they will quickly become saturated with soot and lose thermal insulation properties. To prevent this, the lining on the primary chimney is protected with a thin-walled steel casing, and coated with kiln clay from the ends.

In accordance with the square-cube law, the ratio of the volume and surface area of the drum depends on its diameter, therefore, the lining of the primary chimney, depending on the size of the furnace, is made differently. Three options are shown in the figure.

Primary chimney lining options

If the lining is made with fireclay bricks, the cavities between its fragments must be filled with building sand. If river sand rich in alumina is used, one has to resort to more complex technology:

The sand is cleaned of large debris (careful preparation is not required).
A layer of small thickness is poured into the casing, it is rammed and moistened so that a crust forms.
The subsequent layers are poured in the same way. There should be 5 to 7 in total.
The sand lining is dried for one week, then its top is covered with kiln clay and the kiln manufacturing is continued.

The last step is to coat all parts of the oven with adobe. It is prepared from the following ingredients:

clay;
straw (14–16 kg per 1 m3 of clay);
sand (in a small amount);
water.

The stated ratio of straw to clay is approximate. In some varieties of straw clay, more can be added, in others, on the contrary, its amount has to be reduced.

Construction of a brick rocket stove

The heater has similar technical properties as a metal structure, however, the construction of a brick rocket stove is a laborious process that requires additional financial costs and time.

The cap of a stone rocket stove should be made from a barrel. For safety and ease of use, the design of the furnace, except for the hood, must be lowered down by digging a hole under the floor. The bottom must be compacted and poured with concrete mortar, in simple words - to make a foundation. Thickness concrete pavement must be more than 10.0 cm. In order for the foundation to become strong, and it was possible to begin the process of laying bricks on it, it will take about 3 days until the mortar completely hardens. After this period, you can begin to build the walls of the rocket furnace.

For masonry, only refractory Construction Materials, namely:

Fire-resistant clay mortar;
Refractory bricks.

After completion of laying, you should wait until the mortar hardens, and the structure becomes complete, durable and reliable. An iron barrel without a bottom is installed on top of the firing channel, and the gap between the barrel and the brick is filled with insulation. When processing the end, you must use the same fire-resistant clay mortar. The largest barrel is put on top, and a chimney pipe is attached to its lower part.

How to DIY

Before you make a rocket furnace, you need to decide on the place of its installation, with the dimensions of the future design, and develop a diagram. The technology of masonry itself is quite simple, any novice builder can master it.

The simplest design of a rocket stove can be built from 20 bricks in a summer cottage and used to heat food brought from home.

Location selection

Before starting construction, the first step is to choose a place. brick ovens missile type is recommended to be placed closer to front door. In this case, the ash after cleaning will not need to be carried through the entire room, which will positively affect the overall dust content of the room.

It is also desirable that there are no rafters located closer than 40 cm to the chimney at the exit point of the pipe. And yet, the stove should not be adjacent to the outer wall of the house so that expensive heat does not go to heat the street.

Solution preparation

Cement mortar under the influence high temperatures it cracks quickly, therefore, only a solution consisting of clay and sand is used for laying brick heating devices.

Their proportions are determined experimentally, depending on the quality of the clay. Most often in a ratio of 1:2 or 1:3, and the higher the fat content of the clay, the less it is added to the solution.

First, the clay must be soaked, filtered, and then sand is introduced. The resulting solution should have the consistency of thick sour cream. You can check the level of its viscosity in the following way:

place a wooden stick or trowel handle into the mixture;
remove the tool and shake well;
check the thickness of the adhering layer: if less than 2 mm add clay, more than 3 mm - sand.

The preparation of the mortar must be approached with all responsibility, since only a plastic mixture of the required density can fill all the irregularities of the bricks and ensure their strong adhesion.

A brick rocket stove, even equipped with a bench, is small. The order shown in the figures (below) allows you to assemble the structure without the use of metal products. Only the doors will be iron. Subsequently, the body can be coated with clay to give it more rounded shapes.

After completing the masonry work, the home-made rocket stove must be dried, carefully, by heating at low intensity. First, no more than 20% of the firewood norm is laid in the firebox, and the device is heated twice a day for 30-40 minutes

According to this scheme, the stove is heated until its outer surface is cleared of damp spots. Drying, depending on the dimensions of the device, may take from three to eight days. During this time, the room should be well ventilated, especially in summer.

Accelerating drying can lead to cracking of the masonry, that is, the device will become unsuitable for further heating.

Varieties of rocket furnaces

In this section, we will consider the most common types of rocket stoves used in field and stationary conditions.

Simple metal ovens

The simplest wood-fired jet stove is made from an L-shaped piece of large-diameter metal pipe. The horizontal part is short, it is a firebox. The combustion chamber is located in the vertical part of the pipe, firewood is actively burning here. A small metal plate is often welded into the horizontal section, forming a blower. After warming up, the rocket furnace enters the operating mode, a flame bursts out of its vertical section (flame tube).

Such rocket stoves are used for cooking in camping or outdoor conditions - due to their small area, they are characterized by low heat release, and the vast majority of heat energy escapes through the flame tube. Teapots, frying pans and pots are placed on this pipe so that the raging flame ensures their heating. To maintain traction, stands are located in the upper part of the pipe, on which dishes are placed - combustion products can freely go outside.

In order to make the metal rocket furnace from the L-shaped pipe section more efficient, it is equipped with a metal casing from an old barrel. At the bottom of the barrel you can see a blower, and a flame tube peeps out of the top. If necessary, the internal volume is filled with insulation, for example, ash - it does not burn and retains heat well.

The most convenient are metal rocket furnaces with vertical fireboxes located at an angle to the flame tube. Often, the furnace openings are closed with lids; in this case, air is taken through the blower. Sometimes the firebox is made larger in diameter than the flame tube in order to ensure long-term burning.

Simple brick ovens

A small-sized brick rocket stove is another of the easiest options for building a do-it-yourself rocket stove. For its assembly, cement mortar is not required, it is enough to lay the bricks on top of each other to get at your disposal a convenient brick street cooking unit. In the section on self assembly rocket furnaces, we will suggest that you familiarize yourself with the simplest order for self-assembly.

A do-it-yourself brick rocket stove can be used to heat households. In this case, simple ordering is not enough - you will have to build a stationary version using a special cement mortar. There are many orders for this, you just have to choose the appropriate option. By the way, some variants of such furnaces provide for the presence of a water circuit.

Advantage of brick rocket kilns:

Simple construction;
Long-term heat retention;
The ability to create a comfortable warm couch.

Some models are made combined, they use both steel and bricks.

Complex rocket ovens

A jet stove for heating households or for a bath is characterized by increased complexity. The main link here is still the riser (flame tube), enclosed in a metal case. Its upper part can be used for cooking, forming a kind of cooking surface. The firebox is made large to accommodate an increased amount of solid fuel. The raw materials are metal, bricks and clay.

On the basis of clay coating, streamlined rocket furnaces of irregular shape are made, which is well perceived by human vision.

There are projects of wood-burning rocket stoves that provide for the presence of additional modules. Their construction schemes include small boilers for preparation hot water, hobs, water jackets and even small ovens. Such stoves will help to heat households and create comfortable conditions for human habitation.

A water-jacketed rocket boiler, based on a wood-burning stove, will help warm up a multi-room building. It is equipped with a water circuit for heating the coolant. Additional convenience is created by samples with stove benches - these stove benches are created on the basis of thermal channels between the flame and chimney pipes.

We assemble a rocket stove with our own hands

The easiest way is to assemble a camping-garden version of a jet stove. To do this, you do not have to purchase masonry materials and prepare adobe for coating.

A few metal buckets, a stainless steel pipe for the flame channel and small gravel for backfilling - that's all you need in order to make a do-it-yourself rocket furnace.

The first step is to cut a hole in the lower bucket with metal scissors to pass the flame tube. It must be done at such a height that there is room under the pipe for crushed stone backfill.

The second step is the installation of a flame tube in the lower bucket, consisting of two knees: a short boot and a long one for the exit of gases.

The third step is to cut a hole in the bottom of the upper bucket, which is put on the lower one. The head of the frying pipe is inserted into it so that its cut is 3-4 cm above the bottom.

Fourth - backfilling with small gravel in the lower bucket at half its height. It is needed for heat accumulation and thermal insulation of the flame channel.

The last step is to make a dish rack. It can be welded from round reinforcement with a diameter of 8-10 mm.

A more complex, but at the same time durable, powerful and aesthetic version of the rocket stove requires the use of a gas cylinder and a thick rectangular steel pipe.

The assembly scheme does not change. The exhaust gas here is organized on the side, and not at the top. For cooking, the upper part with a valve is cut off from the cylinder and a flat round plate 4-5 mm thick is welded in its place.

How does a rocket stove work?

Although the “rocket” device is the simplest, it has two principles of fuel combustion borrowed from other solid fuel stoves:

The natural circulation of hot gases and smoke through the channels of the stove is a standard solution, as in a potbelly stove;
Afterburning of unburned gases (pyrolysis) with limited access of oxygen to the combustion chamber.

The scheme of the simplest jet stove, which is intended only for cooking, uses the natural combustion of firewood - in an open chamber it is impossible to create conditions for maintaining the pyrolysis reaction and afterburning unburned gases.

Let's consider a simple design of a direct burning rocket stove, which is traditionally installed in the yard in an open area. On it, you can quickly heat a certain amount of water, or cook dinner for the family on vacation. From the figure below, it becomes clear that for the manufacture of such a sample, two segments of a cylindrical or rectangular iron pipe, which are interconnected by welding at an angle of 900.

The simplest rocket device

A horizontal segment of a metal box acts as a combustion chamber - firewood is laid there. Also, fuel loading can be organized vertically - just add a vertical iron cylinder on top of a horizontal pipe into which firewood will be loaded. Thus, a structure of three pipes or boxes will be obtained, the lowest of which (horizontal) will work as a firebox. In a stationary scheme, the simplest design of such a stove often uses ordinary red brick, which is placed on clay mortar.

The efficiency of this design cannot be called satisfactory, so the craftsmen came up with another scheme that increases the efficiency of the “rocket”. An additional element of this improvement is another pipe of a larger diameter (as you can see, all materials are available and cheap), into which the main pipe of the riser stove (primary chimney) is installed. So you can increase the overall heating of the stove and the duration of heat retention.

Scheme of a furnace with an insulated riser

On the diagram:

The outer casing of the pipe;
A pipe that serves as a firebox;
Channel for air outlet to the combustion chamber;
Insulated area between hull and riser. The same ash can serve as a heater.

Production of a modernized Robinson furnace

The model described in the previous section can be improved with a door that is installed on the fuel tank. But if you make a hinged sash, it will simply lean up, which will not allow you to adjust the traction. Such a part can only be in the “closed” or “open” position. It will be much more efficient to use a damper that moves vertically or horizontally. To install it, small corners of 10 × 10 mm or 15 × 15 mm must be welded on the bunker.

In addition, the following options for upgrading the furnace are noted:

the fuel bunker can be made of thicker steel, for example 5 mm;
replace the round chimney with a square one;
use a different design for the stand: as an option, take corners, balls or other elements that are at hand;
change the stand for a camping stove-rocket, for which a metal plate and a piece of reinforcement for making a leg can be used.

To make an upgraded oven, you will need the following materials:

Square pipe with a section of 160 × 160 mm and a length of 400 mm. A firebox will be made from it.
Square pipe with a section of 120 × 120 mm and a length of 600 mm. It is needed to make a chimney.
A five-millimeter sheet of steel and a piece of reinforcement with a diameter of 7-8 mm. Of these, an element will be made that separates the fuel compartment and the blower channel. The size of the part should be 300 × 155 mm.
Steel sheet 350×180 mm. Such material is necessary for the manufacture of the oven stand.
Steel sheet 160×100 mm in size.

The production technology of this model of a camping stove does not fundamentally differ from the creation of similar structures:

A metal plate with a grate must be welded to the walls of the bunker.
Then the back of the tank is attached, and the chimney is on top.
When the whole structure is ready, a metal stand is welded to it from below, and an additional support is made from a piece of reinforcement. For it, you can also use the part of the vertical pipe that remains after cutting.
Pieces of corners are welded on top of the vertical pipe, which will form a stand for dishes. Its height should be 40-50 mm.
The opening in the fuel tank must be closed with a hinged door or a damper inserted into the corners.
The finished product can be tested. If everything went well, the welds are cleaned, and the jet furnace is covered with heat-resistant paint. This will not only give the product a more attractive appearance, but also protect the metal from corrosion.

Jet heating unit from a propane cylinder

A gas cylinder rocket stove is an easy-to-make wood-burning stove that consumes fuel economically and heats the room efficiently.

It is used to assemble:

empty propane tank (unit body);
steel pipe with a diameter of 100 mm (for arranging a chimney and a vertical channel);
profile steel pipe 150x150 mm (firebox and hopper are made);
sheet steel 3 mm thick.

Making a furnace from a gas cylinder requires the use of a welding machine. If you plan to assemble such a rocket oven with your own hands, the drawings will help you to accurately observe optimal dimensions all structural elements.

Scheme of the processes in the rocket furnace

On preliminary stage work, you should prepare a gas cylinder - turn off the valve, fill the container to the top with water to ensure that gas vapors that can explode from a spark are removed from the container. Then the upper part is cut along the seam. In the lower part of the resulting cylinder, a hole is cut under the chimney, and in the bottom - under the combustion chamber with an attached firebox. The vertical channel is brought out through a hole in the bottom, a structure from a profile pipe is welded from the bottom side, according to the rocket drawing.

Attention! The sheet metal cover should be made removable and a non-combustible seal (asbestos cord) should be provided for reliable sealing. The flat lid is used as a cooking surface.
. If you are installing a rocket furnace from a gas cylinder on your own, you should carefully consider the quality of the welds and check their tightness - air should not enter the operating furnace uncontrollably

If everything is in order, you can install a chimney.

If you are installing a rocket furnace from a gas cylinder on your own, you should carefully consider the quality of the welds and check their tightness - air should not flow uncontrollably into the operating furnace. If everything is in order, you can install a chimney.

Important! The top of the chimney must be raised to a height of 4 meters relative to the level of the firebox in order to provide the necessary draft intensity.

Such a furnace for the home is regulated in terms of power by the volume of fuel loading. The jet stove is put into operation by supplying air through the combustion chamber, this is regulated by the bunker cover. Further, secondary air is constantly supplied to the unit. This stove for heating explodes at the end of the combustion process, since it is impossible to shut off the supply of secondary air, and soot settles on the inner walls of the vertical channel. The cover of the casing is made removable so that it can be periodically removed.

Boiler unit

A long-burning boiler can be obtained by mounting a water circuit on the chimney of a stove made from a gas cylinder or other materials, but according to the same scheme indicated above. However, the heating of water in the circuit of such a unit will be inefficient, since the main part of the thermal energy is transferred to the air of the room and to the containers on the hob.

An effective version of a rocket furnace from a metal barrel

If you want to create a rocket boiler for water heating with high efficiency, you will have to sacrifice the cooking function. Do-it-yourself rocket stove according to the drawing below can be mounted in a short time.

This will require:

fireclay bricks and refractory masonry composition (for mounting the base of the stove with a firebox);
steel pipe with a diameter of 70 mm (for a vertical channel);
steel barrel (for casing);
refractory heat insulator;
sheet steel 3 mm thick and a metal barrel (or pipe) of a smaller diameter than the casing (for arranging a water jacket and smoke channels for heating the water circuit);
steel pipe with a diameter of 100 mm for the chimney;
container, pipes and connecting pipes for arranging a heat accumulator.

The rocket furnace with a water circuit is characterized by the fact that the thermal insulation of the vertical channel provides optimal mode combustion of pyrolysis gases, while all the heated air enters the "coil" with a water jacket and gives off the main part of the thermal energy there, heating the coolant.

Rocket stove with water circuit

The heat accumulator will continue to supply the heated coolant to the heating circuit even after the furnace itself has cooled down. The water tank is provided with a thick layer of insulation.

How to make a rocket stove with your own hands

He has several stages- selection of a suitable design; selection of materials and tools; directly manufacturing.

Project selection

When choosing the right project, consider the following factors:

The purpose of the stove is whether only cooking is required or also heating the room.
Available materials.
Approximate power. It depends on it how many servings of food or how much space the device is enough for.

materials

For a brick structure you will need:

fireclay (refractory) brick;
refractory mix for masonry;
concrete mortar (for the base);
mineral wool;
asbestos;
a whole barrel or an empty gas cylinder for a cap (optional);
oven doors - combustion chamber and ash pan;
if the cap is brick - a thick sheet of stainless steel according to the size of its section.

To finish the furnace are used:

refractory paint;
clay;
stones;
and so on.

For metal, take:

Round metal pipe diameter about 150 mm and length no more than 90 mm(better about 60 mm).
Profiled (rectangular) pipe with a cross section of 100-120 mm and length about a third round.
Instead of a rectangular pipe, you can take a sheet of steel with a thickness 3 mm.
3 nuts.
Steel bars, plates or long bolts for legs.

Reference. For better traction, take a profiled pipe with a side no larger than the round diameter.

Instrument preparation

Suitable for manufacturing:

Master OK;
level;
welding machine;
bayonet shovel;
metal brush;
level;
Bulgarian.

Manufacturing, dimensions of devices

There are many variations on this theme. Consider manufacturing two fundamentally different types of jet stove. This is a brick stove with a bench, which is used indoors, and a camp stove, assembled from metal. If necessary, changes are made, combinations of methods are possible (for example, a heating and cooking device, but made of pipes covered with clay or stones).

How to make a brick oven with a bench

First stage- foundation arrangement. Under it, a rectangular recess is dug, which is then filled with concrete.

For strength, it is better to pre-install reinforcement. The base must be strictly horizontal.

After curing concrete mortar bricklaying begins. External walls are located along the perimeter of the concrete pad. The combustion chamber is formed. On one side of it is a combustion chamber with a hole for loading firewood. On the other hand, there are air ducts.

Important! Each row of bricks is also checked by a level. This is done in both planes - horizontal and vertical.

Also in the combustion chamber leave a hole for ash cleaning which is closed by a door. When this chamber is ready, a metal barrel is put on it. The gaps are filled with insulation, for example, mineral wool.

If the barrel is not used, it is installed on top stove for cooking. Asbestos insulation is placed under it.

Chimney connected to the air duct and is displayed on the street.

Then finished the device is decorated. For example, it is coated with clay and covered with paint. Another option is to leave the brickwork.

Jet stove for hiking

It consists of two compartments connected to each other. To assemble it, first cut the pipes at an angle in 45°. If a metal sheet was taken instead of the second pipe, cut it into the following parts:

two with sides 300 mm and 150 mm;
two - 300 mm and 100 mm;
and one 150 and 100 mm.

Photo 3. Ready jet stove for hiking. The device is made of metal pipes.

Then weld them together. You will also need another plate to separate the fuel compartment, its dimensions 200 mm and 100 mm.

All pieces are welded together. in accordance with the diagram. A round pipe is fixed at the bottom of the rectangular and in the middle relative to the sides.

Welded from rebar scraps grate. It is convenient to make it retractable to lay firewood and then push it inside the firebox.

Sawed off from the pipe 4 rings. They are attached from above so that the dishes do not block the draft hole.

In collapsible version legs are installed. Nuts are welded from below, into which long bolts are then screwed. There is another way. Rods or scraps of steel sheet are welded to the bottom. It is less convenient to transport, but there is no need for assembly.

When the structure is ready it needs to be painted. Only refractory paint is used. This will protect against corrosion, as well as cover traces of soldering.

In this design, as in the one described above, the principle of operation is to isolate the fire and direct the thermal energy to the right place.

Stage 1. Preparing everything you need

To prepare a portable rocket stove you will need:

two tin containers of different diameters;
a couple of corners;
steel clamps ø10 cm;
stainless steel pipe for chimney;
small-sized crushed stone;
Bulgarian;

metal scissors.

Stage 2. Assembly of the structure

Step 1. A lid for the structure is made from a smaller bucket. To do this, a hole is made in it for the chimney (the cover is not removed). In this case, it is better to bend the “petals” inward - so the pipe will be more securely fixed.

The lower half of the bucket is cut off with a grinder.

Step 2. A hole is cut in the bottom of the other container for connecting the firebox. The tin is cut with scissors into "petals" and bent inward.

Step 3. The forward flow is assembled from a pipe and a pair of corners. Then the pipe is inserted into the bucket and connected there to the "petals" with a steel clamp. Everything, the forward flow of the rocket furnace is ready.

Step 4. The space between the forward flow and the walls of the bucket is covered with fine gravel. The latter will perform two functions in the design at once - thermal insulation and thermal accumulation.

Step 5. The second bucket (lid) is put on the jet furnace.

Step 6. The burner for dishes is bent from steel wire.

Note! Instead of a burner, you can install three bricks. . Step 7

It remains only to paint the structure with heat-resistant paint (preferably gray or black). For melting, the forward flow outlet will be used.

Mini jet oven

Reactive mini-oven, kindling

A do-it-yourself rocket stove, drawings of which most home craftsmen would probably like to have in their archive, can be made, in principle, even within one day, since its design is quite simple. If you have skills in working with tools, reading drawings, stocked necessary materials, then making a simple stove of this type will not be difficult. It should be noted that it can be made from a variety of materials that are at hand, but much will depend on where the oven is planned to be installed. The rocket stove has a slightly different principle of operation from other heating devices, and can be either stationary or portable.

Stationary rocket stoves are installed inside the house along the walls or on the area reserved for cooking in the courtyard of the house. If the stove is installed indoors, then it is able to heat a room up to 50 square meters. m.

Portable versions of the rocket stove are usually very small and can easily fit in the trunk of a car. Therefore, when traveling, for example, to a picnic or to a dacha, such a stove will help to boil water and cook dinner. Moreover, the fuel consumption in the rocket stove is quite small, even dry branches, splinter or grass tufts can be used as it.

The principle of operation of the rocket-type stove

Despite the simplicity of the rocket stove, its design uses two principles of operation that the developers borrowed from other types of solid fuel stoves. So, for its effective work, the following principles are taken:

The principle of free circulation of gases released from the fuel through the created furnace channels, without the forced creation of a chimney draft.
The principle of post-combustion of pyrolysis gases released during the combustion of fuel in the mode of insufficient oxygen supply.

In the simplest designs of rocket ovens, which are used only for cooking, only the first principle of operation can operate, since it is rather difficult to create the necessary conditions for pyrolysis and the organization of gas afterburning in them.

To understand the constructions and understand how they work, you need to consider some of them in turn.

The simplest design of a rocket stove

To begin with, it is worth considering the simplest device of a direct combustion rocket furnace. As a rule, such devices are used only for heating water or for cooking, and only in the open air. As can be seen from the figure below, these are two pipe sections connected by a right angle bend.

The furnace for such a design of the furnace is the horizontal part of the pipe, and fuel is laid into it. Often the furnace has a vertical loading - in this case, for the manufacture the simplest stove three elements are used - these are two pipes of different heights, installed vertically and connected from below by a common horizontal channel. The lower pipe will serve as the firebox. For the manufacture of a stationary version of the simplest design scheme, a brick is often used, installed on a heat-resistant mortar.

To achieve higher efficiency, the furnace was improved, and additional elements appeared, for example, the pipe began to be installed in a housing that enhances the heating of the structure.

1 - outer metal body of the furnace.

2 - pipe - combustion chamber.

3 - a channel formed by a jumper under the fuel chamber and designed for free passage of air into the combustion area.

4 - the space between the pipe (riser) and the body, densely filled with a heat-insulating composition, for example, ash.

The heating of the furnace is as follows. First, a light combustible material, for example, paper, and when it flares up, wood chips or other main fuel are thrown into the fire. As a result of the process of intense combustion, hot gases are formed that rise along the vertical channel of the pipe and go outside. On the open section of the pipe and install a container for boiling water or cooking.

An important condition for the intensity of fuel combustion is the creation of a gap between the pipe and the installed container. If its hole is completely blocked, then the combustion inside the structure will stop, since there will be no draft, which provides air supply to the combustion area and raises the heated gases up. To avoid problems with this, a removable or stationary stand for the container is installed on the upper edge of the pipe.

This diagram shows a simple design, on the loading opening of which a door is installed. And to create thrust, a special channel is provided, which forms the lower wall of the combustion chamber and a plate welded at a distance of 7-10 mm from it. Even when the firebox door is completely closed, the air supply will not stop. In this scheme, the second principle is already starting to work - without active oxygen access to burning wood, the pyrolysis process can begin, and the continuous supply of "secondary" air will contribute to the afterburning of the released gases. But for a fully-fledged process, one more important condition is still missing - high-quality thermal insulation of the secondary afterburner chamber, since certain temperature conditions are necessary for the combustion process of gases.

1 - air channel in the combustion chamber, through which blowing is carried out with the furnace door closed;

2- zone of the most active heat exchange;

3 - ascending flow of hot gases.

Improved Rocket Furnace Design

The design, intended both for cooking and for heating the room, is equipped not only with a furnace door and a second body, which serves as a good external heat exchanger, but also with an upper hob. Such a rocket stove can already be installed inside the premises of the house, and the chimney from it is brought out into the street. After carrying out such a modernization of the furnace, its efficiency increases significantly, since the device acquires many useful properties:

Due to the second outer casing and insulating heat-resistant materials that thermally insulate the main furnace pipe (riser), hermetic closure of the upper part of the structure, the heated air retains a high temperature for much longer.

In the lower part of the body, a channel for supplying secondary air began to be mounted, successfully carrying out the necessary blowing, for which an open firebox was used in the simplest design.
The smoke pipe in a closed design is not located at the top, as in a simple rocket furnace, but at the lower rear of the case. Due to this, the heated air does not go directly into the chimney, but gets the opportunity to circulate through the internal channels of the appliance, heating, first of all, the hob, and then diverging inside the body, providing its heating. In turn, the outer casing gives off heat to the surrounding air.

This diagram clearly shows the whole process of the furnace operation: in the fuel hopper (pos. 1) there is a preliminary combustion of fuel (pos. 2) in the mode of insufficient air supply "A" - this is regulated by a damper (pos. 3). The resulting hot pyrolysis gases enter the end of the horizontal fire channel (pos. 5), where they are afterburned. This process takes place due to good thermal insulation and the continuous supply of "secondary" air "B" through a specially provided channel (pos.4).

Further, hot air rushes into the inner pipe of the structure, called the riser (pos. 7), rises through it under the "ceiling" of the body, which is the hob (pos. 10), providing its high-temperature heating. Then the gas flow passes through the space between the riser and the outer shell-drum (pos. 6), providing heating of the shell for further heat exchange with the air in the room. Then the gases go down and only after that they go into the chimney (pos. 11).

In order to achieve maximum heat transfer from the fuel and provide the necessary conditions for the complete combustion of pyrolysis gases, it is important to maintain the highest and most stable temperature in the riser channel (pos. 7) To do this, the riser pipe is enclosed in another pipe of a larger diameter - a shell (pos. 8 ), and the space between them is tightly clogged with heat-resistant mineral composition(pos. 9), which will serve as thermal insulation (a kind of lining). For these purposes, for example, a mixture of kiln masonry clay with fireclay sand (in a ratio of 1: 1) can be used. Some craftsmen prefer to simply fill this space very tightly with sifted sand.

Increasing the efficiency of heat extraction in rocket stoves

To increase the efficiency of the rocket stove, other designs with more efficient heat extraction were developed, both for using the device in outdoor conditions and for indoor use - for space heating or water heating.

stove-stove

For cooking or preparing food for the winter, stoves are made that are arranged according to the principle described above, but have an expanded hob that allows you to install several containers at once.

In this model of a rocket stove, a vertical pipe with a top-loading firebox built into it with a door is located under the hob. Therefore, hot air heats it directly, and in order for the entire panel to be hot, the heated gases, gathering under the panel, are directed to a horizontal channel passing under its entire surface and connected to a vertical section of the chimney.

Additionally, the design is equipped with legs, which gives it stability and reliability. It should be noted that when such a stove is not used for its intended purpose, it can be used as a regular garden table.

In addition to this outdoor model, several types of structures have been developed for indoor use, allowing you to effectively heat rooms or heat water.

Rocket oven with water circuit

The rocket furnace with a water circuit consists of the following elements:

The furnace is installed on a solid concrete base, in order to avoid distortions and deformation of structures.
The lower part of the structure, which includes the furnace compartment (pos. 2) and the fire channel, is laid out from fireclay bricks (pos. 1). The furnace has a vertical loading. At the bottom there is an ash pan (pos. 3) with a side door for regular cleaning of the furnace from accumulated ash.

The vertical channel (riser) (pos. 4) is made of a steel pipe, which is put on a thick layer of thermal insulation (pos. 5) and an outer metal case.
A heat exchanger assembly with a water jacket in the walls (pos. 6) and horizontal plates creating a kind of labyrinth (pos. 7) is hermetically fixed on top of the outer casing to ensure maximum heat exchange area and time.

Attempts are being made to install a water register in this place. However, as practice shows, this approach is impractical - the temperatures here due to the afterburning of pyrolysis gases are very high, and the pipe register has every chance of quickly burning out.

Hot air, passing through the heat exchanger, bending around the metal plates, heats the entire massive block, and the metal gives off heat to the water circulating through the water jacket.
Further, the cooled gas flow goes into the chimney (pos. 8).
Water circulation occurs through a heat accumulator (pos. 9), which may well be made from an old boiler or other closed container with valves for connecting cold and hot water. The option of connecting a heating radiator is not excluded, although, in truth, such a furnace is unlikely to justify itself in such a role.
Hot water from the heat storage tank can be directed through a pipe connected to it (pos. 10) to the points of water intake for domestic needs.

Such a rocket stove is perfect for installation in a country house or in a private house, where it is possible to connect such a heat storage tank to the system. autonomous water supply. The stove will help to significantly reduce the cost of heating water and heating, since this model does not require a large amount of solid fuel or connecting it to some additional energy sources.

Rocket stove with bench

Another way to effectively use a rocket stove is to equip a fairly massive structure with a heated bench. It should be noted that such a bed can take the form of a bed or a sofa, successfully replacing these pieces of furniture, since by laying a mattress on its surface, you can comfortably settle down for a day or night rest. The bed can be made of brickwork or stones and clay mass.

The design of this version of the rocket furnace consists of the following components and elements:

A lid-closed furnace with vertical fuel loading with a secondary air intake chamber located in its lower part.
The furnace passes into a horizontally located fire channel, at the end of which pyrolysis gas is burned.
The hot gas flow rises along the vertical channel (riser) to the hermetically sealed "ceiling" of the housing, where it gives off part of the thermal energy to the horizontal stove - the hob. Then, under the pressure of the hotter gases following it, it diverges into the heat exchange channels, giving off heat to the surfaces of the drum, and goes down.
In the lower part of the furnace there is an entrance to the horizontal pipe channels that run under the entire surface of the bed. Moreover, one, two or more turns of a corrugated pipe can be laid in this space, in the form of a coil, through which hot air circulates, heating the bed. This heat exchange pipeline is connected at the end to a chimney pipe led out through the wall of the house.

It should be noted that in the case of making a bed made of brick, the channels can also be laid out of this material, without the use of metal corrugated tubes.
The heated stove and stove bench, giving off heat to the room, in themselves will serve as a kind of “battery”, capable of heating an area of up to 50 m².

The metal drum of the furnace can be made of a barrel, a gas cylinder or other durable containers, and also made of bricks. Usually the material is chosen by the craftsmen themselves as far as financial possibilities and convenience of work.

A rocket stove with a brick bed looks neater and is somewhat easier to install than a clay version, but the material costs will be about the same.

We fold a rocket stove with a stove bench out of brick

What is needed for work?

The brick heating structure proposed for execution is designed on the principle of a rocket stove. Construction size at standard parameters brick (250 × 120 × 65 mm) will be 2540 × 1030 × 1620 mm.

It should be noted that the structure is, as it were, divided into three parts:

The furnace itself - its size is 505 × 1620 × 580 mm;
Furnace compartment - 390 × 250 × 400 mm;
Bed 1905 × 755 × 620 mm + 120 mm headrest.

For laying the furnace, the following materials will be required:

Red brick - 435 pcs.;
Blower door 140 × 140 mm - 1 pc.;
Cleaning door 140x140 mm - 1 pc.;
The furnace door is desirable (250 × 120 mm - 1 pc.), Otherwise there is a risk of smoke in the room.
Cooking stove 505 × 580 mm - 1 pc.;
Rear metal panel-shelf 370 × 365 mm - 1 pc.;
Asbestos sheet 2.5 × 3 mm thick to create a gasket between metal elements and bricks.
Chimney pipe, 150 mm in diameter, with a 90 ? outlet.
clay and sand for mortar or a ready-made heat-resistant mixture. It should be noted here that for 100 bricks laid flat, with a joint width of 5 mm, 20 liters of mortar will be required.

The design of this top-loading rocket furnace is quite simple, trouble-free and efficient in operation, but only if its laying is done with high quality, in full accordance with the order.

In the absence of experience in the work of a bricklayer and stove-setter, but a great desire to independently install such a heating device, it is worth making sure, and for starters, lay down the structure “dry”, without mortar. This process will help you figure out the location of the brick in each of the rows.

In addition, in order for the seams to be of the same width, it is recommended to prepare sizing wooden or plastic slats for masonry, which will be laid on the previous row before laying the next one. After setting the solution, it will be easy to remove them.

Under the laying of such a furnace, it is necessary to have a flat and solid base. Despite the fact that the design is quite compact, and its weight is not as large as, for example, that of a Russian stove, a floor made of thin boards is not suitable for its installation. In the event that the floor, although wooden, is very durable, before starting laying under the future furnace, it is necessary to lay and fix heat-resistant material, for example, asbestos 5 mm thick.

Ordering a brick rocket stove with a stove bench:

Illustration	Brief description of the operation to be performed
	The first row is laid out solid, and the brick must lie in strict accordance with the pattern shown in the diagram - this will give strength to the entire base. For masonry, 62 red bricks are required. The diagram clearly shows the connection of all three sections of the furnace. The corners on the side bricks of the facade of the firebox are cut off or rounded - so the design will look neat.
	Second row. At this stage of the work, internal chimney channels are laid, through which the gases heated in the furnace will pass, giving off heat to the stove bench bricks. The channels are connected to the combustion chamber, which also begins to form in this row. The first brick of the wall separating the two channels under the stove bench is cut obliquely - this “nook” will collect unburned combustion products, and the cleaning door installed opposite the bevel will allow it to be easily cleaned. For laying a row, 44 bricks are required.
	On the second row, the doors of the blower and cleaning chambers are mounted, which are necessary for periodically putting the ash chamber and internal horizontal channels in order. The doors are fixed with wire, which is twisted on the ears of the cast-iron elements, and then laid in the seams of the masonry.
	Third row. It almost completely repeats the configuration of the second row, but, of course, taking into account the laying in the dressing, and therefore it will also require 44 bricks.
	Fourth row. At this stage, the channels passing inside the couch are blocked with a continuous layer of bricks. A furnace opening is left, and a channel is formed that will heat the hob and discharge combustion products into the chimney. In addition, a rotary horizontal channel is blocked from above, which discharges heated air under the stove bench. For laying a row, you need to prepare 59 bricks.
	Fifth row. The next step is to cover the couch with a second cross layer of bricks. The chimney ducts and the furnace also continue to be removed. For a row, 60 bricks are being prepared.
	Sixth row. The first row of the headrest of the couch is laid out, and the part of the stove begins to rise, on which the hob will be installed. It still has chimneys. For a row you need 17 bricks.
	Seventh row. The laying of the headrest is being completed, for which bricks cut obliquely are used. The second row of the base under the hob rises. For masonry, 18 bricks are required.
	Eighth row. The construction of the furnace with three channels is being laid. It will take 14 bricks.
	The ninth and tenth rows are similar to the previous, eighth, laid out in the same way, alternately, in dressing. 14 bricks are used for each row.
	11th row. Continuation of masonry according to the scheme. This row will take 13 bricks.
	12th row. At this stage, a hole is formed for installing the chimney pipe. The hole brought under the stove is supplied with a brick cut obliquely for a smoother flow of heated air into the adjacent channel leading to the lower horizontal channels located in the bench. 11 bricks were used per row.
	13th row. A base is formed for the slab, and the central and side channels are combined. It is through it that hot air will flow under the stove, and then flow into a vertical channel leading under the stove bench. 10 bricks are laid.
	13th row. On the same row, the basis for laying the hob is being prepared. To do this, along the perimeter of the space in which two vertical channels were combined, heat-resistant material - asbestos - is laid.
	13th row. Then, a solid metal plate is laid on the asbestos gasket. In this case, it is not recommended to install a hob with opening burners, since when they are opened, smoke can enter the room.
	14th row. The arranged hole for the chimney pipe is blocked and the wall separating the hob from the stove bench area is raised. Only 5 bricks are used for a row.
	15th row. This row that raises the wall will also require 5 bricks.
	15th row. On the same line, in continuation rear wall, next to the hob is fixed metal shelf which can be used as a cutting board. It is attached to brackets.
	15th row. The picture-scheme is well modeled how the hob can be used. In this case, the pan is placed exactly on that part of the stove that will warm up first of all, since a hot air stream will pass under it.
	After completion of all the work described in the order, a chimney pipe is built into the hole, from the back of the furnace, which leads out into the street.
	From the back, the design also looks quite neat, so it can be installed both near the wall and in the middle of the room. Such a stove is perfect for heating in a country house. If the stove and chimney are decorated with finishing materials, then the building can become an original addition, and very functional, for any private house. As you can see, the corner formed under the cutting shelf is very convenient for drying and storing firewood.
	To fully consider the design, you need to see its projection from the end side.
	And the last figure shows well what should happen as a result of the work done, if you look at the stove from the side of the bench.

In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the design of a rocket stove can be called one of the simplest and most affordable for self-manufacturing, in comparison with other heating devices. Therefore, if such a goal is set - to acquire a stove in the house, but experience in such work is clearly not enough, then it is best to choose this particular option, since when building it, it is difficult to make a mistake in the configuration of its internal channels.

Some sources claim that the rocket stove gets its name from the special sound it makes when in use. Let's make a reservation right away - a strong hum is heard only during kindling, and then, a properly folded stove should not hum. The sound that you can hear from a well-built structure will be more like a rustle, a whisper, but nothing, not the sound of a rocket taking off.

The efficiency of the furnace increases due to the design features, which allows using not only the thermal energy obtained as a result of fuel combustion, but also an additional part of the heat generated during the afterburning of pyrolysis gas.

Attention! This gas is produced during the combustion of firewood. Its ignition is possible only at a sufficient temperature level. With a large access of oxygen or in an unheated furnace, such gases are cooled without igniting and volatilize freely.

Of course, the rocket stove is easy to manufacture, convenient to use, practical, not demanding on the quality of wood fuel. However, its work depends on the correct calculations and the accuracy of manufacturing the entire structure.

The general scheme of the furnace device is as follows:

Despite the simplicity of design, the ultra-efficient long-burning rocket furnace requires precise observance of the proportions of its parts:
The diameter of the chimney is not less than the diameter of the fuel bunker;
The length of the horizontal compartment of the combustion zone is not more than half of the vertical expanding section;
The height of the fuel hopper is equal to the length of the horizontal section;
The length of the chimney is 6-10 times the height of the vertical secondary combustion chamber.
Heat-insulating adobe coating of the couch at least 2/3 of the height, above the chimney pipe at least 15 cm.

Principle of operation

Fuel is loaded into the vertical bunker. With the correct design of the rocket furnace, the fuel burns only in the lower part, gradually settling under its own weight. Combustion in the primary combustion chamber is maintained by suitable oxygen penetrating with the air flow through the blower. Then the fuel gases move freely into the afterburning zone, ignite as a result of the pyrolysis reaction, and heat up the secondary combustion chamber and the cap. Due to the temperature difference in the primary combustion chambers and the vertical hood, draft is created, and hot air passes into the chimney. The combustion products removal system consists of an internal part (a heated dwelling) and an external part (which removes smoke and gas from the room to the outside).

During operation, the fuel burns almost completely, and only water and carbon dioxide remain at the outlet. The long chimney provides almost complete cooling, so water can flow from the chimney. And as a result, a high pipe is not required, most often it is removed simply by continuing the horizontal section through the wall.

The rocket stove can be used both as a means of cooking and for heating a small room. Design features allow you to heat the surface of the hood up to 400 ° C, this section of the furnace is used as a hob, and a long chimney most often turns into a lounger that can give off heat up to 12 hours after heating. The effect of the heat accumulator increases with the correct lining (coating) of the chimney body.

This is interesting! The principle of a jet furnace without a heat-storing casing is used in small, portable camping structures. This type of stove uses only the energy generated by direct combustion. In this case, the amount of fuel burned increases, and the efficiency of the stove is significantly reduced, but it is quite enough for cooking and heating the tent.

Do-it-yourself rocket stove

When making a rocket furnace with your own hands, you will need the following materials:

For a large volume furnace - barrels of fuels and lubricants, with a volume of 200 liters and a diameter of 600 mm. For the outer body of the medium-sized furnace, gas cylinders with a diameter of 300 mm are used (it is also possible to use tin buckets, 400-450 mm);
A 135 mm steel round pipe or a shaped one (120x120 mm) is prepared for the furnace igniter based on a barrel of fuel and lubricants. Under the furnace with an external casing from a gas cylinder are used round pipes 70 mm or profile 70 and 150 mm;
The whole structure is made of tin or thin sheet steel with a thickness of 2-3 mm. (Thinner sheet can only be used for the chimney).
Thermal insulation pads made of mineral cardboard;
For the chimney - a corrugated pipe. The diameter of the pipe should be one and a half times the diameter of the fire duct;
Refractory brick, fireclay scrap, clay, sand. Straw (for adobe);
Furnace fittings (firebox and ash pan doors). Mandatory requirement- integrity, tightness, which is ensured by gaskets made of mineral cardboard.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage - ease of installation - we have already mentioned, however, this type of furnace has gained popularity due to an additional number of features.

As fuel, you can use firewood, wood of any quality and condition. Of course, for the combustion reaction of pyrolysis gases of raw firewood, a high temperature will be required, but even in this case, as a result of the primary combustion of the fuel, thermal energy will be released, which is enough to boil water and cook food;
Despite the simplicity of the design, the heat output that a rocket made on the basis of a barrel of fuel and lubricants can bake can reach 18 kW. Such parameters are enough to heat a room up to 20 m². A small furnace (based on a gas cylinder), subject to all the rules of installation and installation, can have a power of up to 10 kW.
A well-heated jet stove is capable of long time keep warm for half a day (up to 12 hours) without requiring additional heating.

However, some disadvantages of structures of this type cannot be mentioned:

Some types of rocket stoves cannot be used to heat water with subsequent supply to radiators or a hot water supply system, because. in principle, the connection of additional heat exchangers (coils) violates the tightness of the inner bunker, or reduces its thermal insulation characteristics, which leads to the impossibility of using the afterburning technology for pyrolysis gases;
The general adjustment of the stove operation is possible only by reducing or increasing the amount of firewood. The blower, which regulates the air flow, is used only for primary ignition.
The rocket furnace does not apply to fast-acting designs. (On the contrary, it requires a fairly long preparatory time for kindling and heating its own body and cools down just as long). Therefore, this design cannot be used in garages, baths.

Here you will learn:

So simple heating device, like a rocket stove, is not known to every person. Meanwhile, it has few equals in simplicity and efficiency. It cannot be said that she has the best performance but it also has few shortcomings. There are many varieties of these furnaces, differing in design and purpose. We will look at them in more detail as part of our review.

Device and principle of operation

Consider the device of rocket furnaces - they consist of the following elements:

Firebox - a vertical or horizontal area in which firewood burns;
Combustion chamber (it is also a flame tube, riser) - here the process of fuel combustion occurs with the release of a large amount of heat;
Blower - necessary for the correct operation of the stove and starting the process of burning pyrolysis gases;
Thermal insulation - envelops the vertical part, forming a drum together with the body;
Bed - used for its intended purpose;
Chimney - removes combustion products into the atmosphere, creating traction;
The support under ware - provides unhindered exit of heat.

Depending on the type of rocket furnace, certain elements may be missing.

Rocket furnaces with vertical fireboxes (fuel bunkers) and blowers have the greatest efficiency and convenience - large volumes of fuel are placed here, which ensures long-term combustion.

The most important part of the rocket furnace is the vertical drum. It is in it that the highest temperature is observed, since flames break out here. In order for it to start working, it must be thoroughly warmed up. Without this, the combustion process will be weak. To warm up, paper, cardboard, small chips or thin branches are placed in the firebox. As soon as the system warms up, the flame in the drum will begin to burn out with a buzz, which is a sign that the operating mode has been reached.

Varieties of rocket furnaces

In this section, we will consider the most common types of rocket stoves used in field and stationary conditions.

Simple metal ovens

Simple brick ovens

A small-sized brick rocket stove is another of the easiest options for building a do-it-yourself rocket stove. For its assembly, cement mortar is not required, it is enough to lay the bricks on top of each other to get at your disposal a convenient brick street cooking unit. In the section on self-assembly of rocket furnaces, we will suggest that you familiarize yourself with the simplest order for self-assembly.

Advantage of brick rocket kilns:

Simple construction;
Long-term heat retention;
The ability to create a comfortable warm couch.

Some models are made combined, they use both steel and bricks.

Complex rocket ovens

There are projects of wood-burning rocket stoves that provide for the presence of additional modules. Their construction schemes include small boilers for preparing hot water, hobs, water jackets and even small ovens. Such stoves will help to heat households and create comfortable conditions for a person to live.

Types of stoves for different operating conditions

A rocket stove for a garage can be made from an old pot-bellied gas bottle or barrel. To do this, two holes are made in the selected container - one in the top cover, and the other on the side surface. An L-shaped pipe is inserted inside. With little experience with a welding machine, all work will take you a maximum of half an hour.

You can also make an oven of the above-described rocket type from pieces of a square and metal pipe according to the above drawing.

Firebox with vertical loading - logs are placed in it;
Afterburner - a horizontal section in front of the riser (flame tube), pyrolysis combustion takes place here;
Riser with a hob - a vertical section with a metal case that gives off heat to the room;
Horizontal channels - they heat the stove bench, after which the combustion products are sent to the chimney.

A rocket stove for heating a house from one room is coated with clay to make a flat and comfortable bed - here you can lay a mattress or a small blanket.

For field use, the simplest rocket-type furnaces made of metal pipes are used. They are compact, easy to kindle and extinguish, cool quickly and allow you to quickly cook dinner in the open air. The main thing is not to overdo it with the amount of fuel loaded, so as not to burn the food with a high-temperature flame.

How to increase the efficiency of the stove

Long-burning jet stoves can be made even more efficient with a little tweaking. If the riser (flame tube) is closed with a metal casing, weld vertical pipes of small diameter to the outer surface - they form a convector that effectively heats the air in the premises. This modification method is suitable for metal units used for heating technical premises (for example, garages).

Any metal rocket furnace can be made more efficient by lining it with bricks or natural stone. The masonry will retain heat and slowly release it into the room. At the same time, it will allow you to get rid of unbearable heat with too intense heating.

Let's start with the simplest brick sample designed for cooking. Such a stove can be quickly folded in your yard without clay mortar, and disassembled after use. It is also possible to assemble a stationary version - for those who like to cook on an open fire. The picture below shows a drawing of the stove, or rather, its ordering. There are only five rows here.

The first row is the base, which includes six bricks. The second row forms the firebox, and the next three rows form the riser chimney. In the first and second rows, halves of bricks are used so that the stove is rectangular, without protruding elements.

Immediately after assembly, you can start kindling - cook any dishes on the fire in cast-iron cauldrons and pans, heat kettles and pots of water.

Large rocket stove with bench

The main advantage of the rocket modification over the Russian stove is its compactness. Even being equipped with a couch, it will please you with its small size. Having made it out of brick, you will have at your disposal an effective source of heat with a comfortable bed - the household will fight for the right to occupy this warm place.

The first row forms the base of our rocket oven. It consists of 62 bricks laid according to the pattern shown in the figure. The second row forms channels for heating the couch - they run along its entire length. Cast-iron doors are also mounted here, fixed with metal wire - it is held between the rows. The number of bricks used - 44 pcs. The same amount will be required for the third row, completely repeating the contour of the second. The fourth row completely closes the channels that heat the bed. But here a vertical smoke channel and a firebox are already beginning to form - the row includes 59 bricks.

Another 60 is needed for the fifth row. The bed has already been formed, it remains to finish off the chimney channel and build a hob. The sixth row, which includes 17 bricks, is responsible for this. Another 18 are needed for the seventh row, 14 for the eighth.

The ninth and tenth row will require 14 bricks, the eleventh - 13.

Row number 12 is our key one - the chimney will start from here. Also, a hole begins from here, through which the air that has risen to the hob will go down to the bench - 11 bricks are required (this is the top of the riser). In row No. 13, this process is completed, 10 bricks are spent on it. Now we lay the asbestos gasket, which is covered with a piece of thick sheet steel - this will be the hob.

5 bricks are spent on rows No. 14 and No. 15, they close the chimney channel and form a low wall between the hob and the stove bench.

Similarly, you can assemble a long-burning rocket cauldron by finding the right order. Separate schemes provide for the use of metal nodes.

Do-it-yourself long-burning rocket furnace: drawings, diagrams

What is a solid propellant rocket stove and how does it work? In this review, we study the varieties of rocket (jet) stoves and try to assemble them with our own hands.

Principle of operation

This design allows you to use the stove not only for heating the room, but also for heating food or water (on the hood). If the chimney is run through a certain part of the room, up to the sunbed, it will also heat up.

Photo 2 Rocket stove in the interior

Among the main advantages of rocket furnaces are the following:

high efficiency - 85%;
very fast heating of the room - 50 sq.m. in 45-60 minutes;
the absence of soot and, as a result, soot deposits - at temperatures above 1000 degrees, everything burns out without residue;
the ability to use any solid fuel;
minimum consumption - at the same temperature and duration of burning, a rocket furnace consumes 4-5 times less fuel than a conventional furnace.

The simplest design from a barrel or gas cylinder

For fuel, a steel plate is welded to the bottom, at the bottom of which a hole is cut for air suction.

It is possible to use any straight cylindrical container for manufacturing - the drawing of the rocket furnace shows how the direct combustion process takes place.

Brick rocket stove in 20 minutes

If you have 20-30 bricks on hand, you can make a simple rocket stove with your own hands in just a few minutes. Moreover, no adhesives are required for masonry.

Lay out of brick, as shown in the photo, a vertical combustion chamber. At the same time, the dishes are placed on the hood in such a way as not to impede the movement of the emitted gases

For this design to work well, a warm pipe is needed. This term among stove-makers refers to the preliminary run of chips and paper so that the pipe warms up. There will be gas stagnation in a cold pipe, making heating difficult. And if the pipe is warm, then when the firewood is ignited, a powerful draft appears in the channel.

For reference. In the above simple designs from a gas cylinder or pipe, there is a significant drawback - the vertical loading of firewood. Each time you have to move firewood into the chamber when they burn out and only after that put it on. Stationary rocket furnaces on coal or long-term combustion already provide for a vertical bookmark, which greatly simplifies operation.

Do-it-yourself rocket jet furnace scheme

In order to make such a unit with your own hands, you need to decide on the dimensions and structural elements.

How a rocket works:

As can be seen from the drawing, the diameter of the cap (D), which covers the top of the pipe, and its cross section (S) are taken as the basis.

Based on these indicators, the dimensions of the rocket furnace are calculated:

the height of the drum is 2 of its diameter;
the height of the clay coating is 2/3 of the height;
coating thickness - 1/3 of the diameter;
sectional area of the pipe - 7% of its transverse section;
blower area - 1/2 pipe section;
the flame tube horizontally and vertically must be the same;
ash pan volume - 4-6% of the drum height;
the cross-sectional area of the external chimney is the double cross-section of the pipe.
thickness of the insulating layer (adobe cushion) under the outer chimney 60 mm;
the thickness of the coating of the stove bench is 1/4 of the diameter of the drum;
outer pipe height - 4000 mm;
the length of the flue directly depends on the diameter of the drum. If for its manufacture they took a metal container with a diameter of 50-60 cm and a volume of 200 liters, then the length of the flue pipe will be at least 6 meters. If the diameter is half as much, then the bed should be made up to 4 meters.

If you are making a stationary rocket furnace with your own hands, be sure to pay attention to the lining of the top of the pipe. This is necessary to isolate the brazier from the walls of the furnace in order to prevent overheating of the walls. Fireclay bricks can be used for lining.

Photo examples of the original performance

The sand is poured into the bucket layer by layer, with each layer watered abundantly for proper compaction. When the protection is filled with sand to the top, leave for 7-10 days to dry.

Pipe lining scheme

All further work on the installation of a jet-type rocket furnace continues only after not only the lining has dried, but also the clay protection, which is applied over the upper cut.

Before making a stationary structure, practice on a traveling sample. After the first experience, it will become clear even if you have not read books for rocket furnaces.

Disadvantages of the heater

Often this device is used to heat food or water - indeed, a huge amount of heat, a red-hot cap, why not take advantage of this idea? However, connecting a water circuit in order to heat the whole house, and not a room, is impossible. The design is so simple that any intervention, including the coil, will disrupt the course of work.
Surprisingly, such a lightweight mobile heating device is completely unsuitable for either a bathhouse or a garage. Even with its high efficiency, the camping installation will not heat the air in the steam room to the required minimum. And in a garage or warehouse, it is not recommended to use appliances with direct open flames.

Assembly diagram of a portable rocket stove

In this article, we will give an example of a camping installation, for which no masonry or finishing materials are needed.

2 buckets;
stainless steel pipe;
river sand or crushed stone for lining.

Step 1. Cut a hole in the sidewall of one of the buckets along the diameter of the pipe at a height of 5 cm from the bottom. The height should be enough to fill the bucket with gravel or sand.

Step 2. Divide the pipe into 2 parts - a short loading section and a pancake knee-chimney.

Step 2. Insert the pipe into the hole in the bucket.

Step 4. Cut, by analogy with item 1, a hole in the bucket, but already directly in the bottom. The hole diameter corresponds to the pipe diameter. Insert the pipe.

Step 5. Pour sand or gravel into the bucket, which will act as a heat accumulator of the flame tube.

Step 6. Making legs or stands. For this, ordinary reinforcement is suitable, which is bent under pressure and the base is cut out.

Rocket stove from a gas cylinder

This is a sophisticated improved version, for the manufacture of which you will need an already used gas cylinder and a 4 mm rectangular pipe.

The scheme remains exactly the same with the only exception that combustible gases are discharged from the side through the hole, and not from above, as happens with marching samples.

If there is a need to cook or heat food, the upper part of the cylinder with a tap is cut off, and a flat plate is welded on top.

We will tell you how to make a rocket stove with your own hands, and what you need for this. This device, despite our brave space achievements, is still not widely known in our country, although its effectiveness is beyond doubt.

How to make a DIY rocket stove

Rocket furnace: scheme and photo of manufacturing.

The design of the rocket stove is made in such a way as to create a strong flame from a small amount of fuel using direct combustion. The combustion process takes place in a vertical pipe where the effect of direct burning of the flame is eventually created.

Scheme of the rocket furnace.

The figure shows a diagram of a rocket-type furnace.

The stove consists of a vertical pipe and a side firebox placed at an angle of 45 degrees, the firebox located at such an angle greatly facilitates the stacking of firewood.

Do-it-yourself rocket stove.

For the manufacture of a rocket-type furnace, you will need two pieces of a profile pipe:

For the firebox, a pipe with a section of 160 x 160 mm - 300 mm long.

For a chimney, a pipe with a section of 120 x 120 mm - 500 mm long.

Still need metal sheets 5 mm thick and with the following dimensions:

Several metal rods for making grates.

The manufacturing process of the rocket furnace is as follows. The firebox and the chimney of the furnace are cut out from the profile pipes with a grinder.

The chimney and firebox are welded together at an angle of 45 degrees.

At the bottom of the firebox, grates and a plate separating the firebox and the blower must be welded. Without grates, coals will quickly clog the firebox and reduce draft.

A damper must be provided in the furnace, by adjusting the damper it is possible to control the intensity of the flame burning in the furnace.

The final stage: paint the rocket furnace with heat-resistant paint.

Advantages and disadvantages of rocket stove.

The rocket-type furnace has its advantages:

Minimum fuel consumption, the stove can operate on almost any fuel, it is optimal to use wood - firewood, branches, small chips.
Strong flame and fast heating, a kettle with 3 liters of water boils in 15 - 20 minutes.
Simple design, compact size.

Disadvantages of a rocket-type furnace:

The weight of the stove is more than 10 kg, so it is difficult to call this stove camping, except if you transport it in a car.
A jet stove is not practical to use for space heating, often you need to throw wood into the stove and most of the heat goes into the chimney, the stove is primarily intended for quick cooking, heating water and other needs.
When burning, the stove makes a characteristic "reactive" sound.

Where is a rocket-type oven useful? The stove can be used in places where it is not possible to build an open fire or there is not enough fuel for a fire. The oven will, by the way, if you need to quickly cook food, for example, in the country or in nature.

Do-it-yourself Robinson Rocket Oven

Robinson Camping Stove

Rocket furnaces are attractive due to their simplicity of design and efficiency. But, behind the seeming simplicity, there is an exact calculation. It is very undesirable to deviate in size: everything will stop working at all or fuel combustion will be extremely inefficient.

General principles

The portable portable oven "Robinson" was made on the basis of a heating rocket stove. The same principle is applied: firewood burns in the bunker-fuel compartment, the fire, due to the air flow, enters the combustion zone - a horizontal section of the pipe and partially rises up the chimney. First, until the furnace is warmed up, all the energy is spent on heating the chimney. Then, when it warms up, gases from high temperatures ignite again, secondary combustion of gases occurs. The modernized gas-generating pyrolysis boilers are arranged according to the same principle.

How the Rocket Oven Works

In the Robinson oven, everything is a little simpler: we do not need to heat the room. Its main task is to heat water and cook food. But the principles remain the same: the fire should heat up the chimney, and its length should be enough to burn the gases. Therefore, for normal performance, adhere to the following proportions:

The length of the chimney must be at least 2 lengths of the horizontal (inclined) section.
The height of the fuel compartment is approximately equal to the length of the horizontal section. Therefore, in the Robinson furnace, the firebox is made at an angle of 45 °, although the fuel compartment can be located at an angle of 90 °, but it is not very convenient to lay fuel in this way.
The cross section of the chimney should not be less than the dimensions of the firebox.

Robinson oven device: drawings and dimensions

It looks like a Robinson camp stove

In the original, "Robinson" was welded from a profile pipe 150 * 100 mm. Homemade similar stoves are made from a pipe of close diameter. Sometimes the fuel compartment is made from a piece of a profile pipe, and the chimney is made from a round one. At the same time, it is important that the cross section of the chimney is not less than that of the firebox, otherwise reverse draft may occur.

Below we lay out the drawings of the Robinson rocket furnace, indicating the most common sizes: a profile pipe 150 * 150 mm, a firebox 30 cm long, a chimney of at least 60 cm. In general, with this size of the firebox, it can be up to 90 cm, but keeping in mind that this is still a hiking option, we indicate the minimum possible length.

The legs are made of threaded rod, installed in place and tightened with nuts. This option is the most compact, but unscrewing / screwing the legs to the smoked iron is not the best thing to do. Alternative support options: steel sheet welded to the bottom or stationary legs. They do not need to be screwed, but they take up more space in the trunk.

In the case of the original Robinson oven, it does not have a combustion air duct and there is no combustion control cover. In home-made ones, there is improvement: a plate is welded in the lower part of the fuel compartment, ending with a grate. Fuel is placed on this plate. The slot at the bottom allows oxygen to be supplied directly to the combustion zone. To regulate the intensity of combustion, a damper cover is welded to the fuel compartment. In size, it is slightly wider than the fuel compartment (156.4 mm in the drawing with a firebox width of 140 mm). It should not completely cover it - otherwise the fire will die out. They make it smaller in size than the firebox or build in a slide gate.

Drawing of the firebox of the Robinson furnace with an ash pan and a blower

Craftsmen make small camping rocket furnaces from different pieces of metal. In the photo below you see what happened - a finished Robinson oven, made by craftsmen from Penza with their own hands. Three small sections of a profile pipe 160 * 160 mm were used, from which the furnace compartment was welded. Its total length turned out to be 40 cm. A single piece of pipe 120 * 120 mm 60 cm long was used for the chimney. In the furnace, the ash pan is welded from 8 mm sheet metal and 12 mm steel bar. Instead of legs, a metal plate is welded: thickness 8 mm, dimensions 180*350 mm.

According to the author: a melted stove burns well, does not smoke or act up. Only before loading with "serious" fuel: branches and chips, it needs to be heated with paper, hay, dry grass or very thin branches. When the pipe warms up, you can lay more “thick firewood”.

Difficulties with kindling a cold furnace are generally characteristic of rocket furnaces. In this case, we also have a narrowed chimney, which makes kindling more problematic.

The second version of a home-made rocket-type camp stove is made of two profile pipes: 160 * 160 mm 30 cm long for the furnace and 120 * 120 mm 60 cm long for the chimney (it is better to take no smaller section - the draft will be better). 5 mm steel was used for the ash pan, door and stand. The ash pan is cut to half the length of the firebox, reinforcing bars of 12 mm in diameter are welded to the plate. The lid does not reach the ash pan plate by about 2 cm; a large diameter nut is used instead of a handle. Base plate dimensions 20*30 cm.

To make it convenient to put the dishes and so that the smoke has somewhere to go, balls from the CV joint are welded at the corners of the pipe. This option turned out to be more convenient than the one proposed in the original (three rings welded together) - you can put dishes with a round bottom on such a stove - a cauldron, for example. Hunters and fishermen most often have this utensil, and not pans with a flat bottom. The kettle also becomes excellent: three liters of water in it boils in 20 minutes. The heat is sufficient for frying meat and other cooking tasks.
