what other size box would you use??i missed the post any reason why 150mm box
and can i ask is it a rocket stove for heating a pan or a rocket stove heater
also how big of an area are you heating up if its the heater type
which was why I asked the question. I have a load of Box section we used to make gypsy stoves with but when they changed the regs we sort of gave up. I am looking at decluttering and replacing the decent items/steel with a bit of cash.Gaz1 is the forums patron Saint of rocket stoves. Heed his wisdom!!
One day I will be getting around to building one and will work my though his posts on the subject first.
my advice is to build a smaller one first then you can see how it works before you build the bigger type of oneAh so you're saying 150mm is a no go unless the flue height is sufficient?

the one thing i hate with the regs is it dosnt conserve on wood usage within a stove its pump out as much as possible and use alot of wood in doing sowhich was why I asked the question.

theres no copyright on any stove only the aga, esse and the rayburns have any sort of copyright on there ovensStopped from selling rocket stoves??
Was that because they were copywrite?
Yes that's how I see it, no real need for a step ladder to cook bacon.
I think 150mm is overkill, just make one of these and it'll work just fine, proven formula, why re-invent the wheel.
If like me you have a pathetic need to impress grand children and gullible adults with your mastery of the seemingly unfathomable workings of your creation, you can add extra flaps, doors, Gaz rings, removable grate, and hot air inlets.
These additions won't do much to improve the stove, cos who needs more than 600 degs, which the basic design will easily achieve, to cook sausages and bacon?
