Summary: Portable space heater made from a chimney charcoal starter, a cookie tin, and an aluminum pie plate. Based on Everything Nice Wood Gas Stove design by worldstove.Com. One fill of pellets burns steadily for 1h15m. No visible smoke and no smell detected during the burn even when looking straight down over the stove. Only hot air rushing up. Safety Precautions: I would recommend use only in well ventilated locations and for short periods of time. Do not use if there are unattended children around. Do not place in any location where something can accidentally catch on fire. Do not leave the fire unattended even for a few seconds. Have fire extinguishing equipment ready. In addition to the danger of an open flame, there are also well known health issues with burning wood in enclosed spaces. I have two carbon monoxide detectors nearby (plug-in and battery operated) and so should you. Fuel – hardwood pellets. per 40 lb. bag. Starter – 4 gm wax flakes topped with 20 charred pellets and 2 ml alcohol squirted on individual charred pellets using a syringe. Burn time: 1 hour and 15 minutes. No ash inside or outside of the stove after the burn because the pellets turned to char, not ash. But there is a nasty smell in the inside can and an oily tar substance sticking to the inside surface. The aluminum pie plate and the cookie tin remained just as strong after 4 hours of total burn time as before. No sign of deterioration. I suspect the first to go would be the metal around …
This is still the same coil pipe stove – midi what I uploaded before. The only difference is that burner has smaller jet than alcohol burner has. That is less than 1 mm. I think that smaller jet provides with longer burning time, but it has to be tested. It still burns pure alcohol, but about it hopefully in next video.
