Disclaimer: Fire is dangerous, stoves can easily create too much heat and cause chimney fires. Rockets stoves only increase this possibility. Only use stoves with a full understanding of their operation. Never leave stoves unattended. Clean your chimneys often!!! Carbon Monoxide is deadly. I have multiple CO detectors locate near and slightly further away from my stove and i test them frequently.

This stove truly works perfectly for my needs. It runs like a top and will relight itself from smoldering empty just by refilling. Controlling the draft is key.

This is the process I used to build and test a design I have for converting a wood stove to pellet use. It utilizes the benefits of a chimneys natural draft to "stoke" the pellet fire by drawing the air through the fire making this a rocket stove. You control the air flow in to control the burn. Pellets are gravity fed down as the burning pellets in the basket/burning box reduce and create a void. the tube hopper I have allows and hour or so between filling to keep the stove running. about the same as my wood stove
