Jeff Forsell, Rocket Elbow Stove, Feb 2, 2002
I would like to use a Rocket Elbow preferably made with a porous material(clay, cement, sawdust ) (though I wonder if I will be able to find any high temp clay for the mixture that was recommended).
1. top view of pot support ring with possible spiral ridges to increase turbulence
2. high ridge pot support ring for high power (greater air flow)
3. low ridge pot support ring for low power (restricted air flow, increased pot contact)
4. low ridge wok-type pot support ring
5. containment box for insulating and supporting Rocket Elbow (filled with wood ash)
6. vertical tube for elbow
7. horizontal tub with cutout for vertical tube
8. sloping front side to allow simply laying a baffle against it to control inlet air or help maintain heat for easy lighting, tinder drying
9. metal piece under fuel (flattened tin can?) extending under fire with holes
10. end view from feeding end of elbow
11. shield around:
12. most common type of pot
The nice descriptive page: http://www.efn.org/~apro/atrocketpage.html stills leaves me with some questions
