Sorry mate should have been clearer. How do we achieve that. Lolpreheated secondary air aids in the flow upwards of air due to it being hotter
because its being pulled past 500c the air is preheated
other advantages due to heated air is that it burns cleaner
So are you suggesting this design would be better the red bit being the air inletpreheated secondary air aids in the flow upwards of air due to it being hotter

Thanks for that, the primary aid supply will just be open all the time. I’m not sure about the secondary gas from g tv e wood as I’ve only tested it out once and this is only my second rocket stove. As for putting a flue on it it probably would be possible however you’d probably be better off making a bigger one out of a gas bottle or something that you could put logs on or even better would be constructing something to burn waste oil.That looks great Jacktegla ...I really like the simple design, that 140 mm tube is brilliant .... I've used wood stoves all me life and made one once years ago, but never made a rocket stove .. a few questions about rocket stove if you don't mind .. That primary air supply at the base of your beast, will you ever need to throttle that back or is it just open ?...I'm guessing that secondary air for the burning off the wood gas in a standard wood stove is not an issue in a rocket stove as the fuel shoot does that ? And what about a flue pipe ? If I made a rocket stove for inside me work shop ...small diameter flue say 60mm coming out as high as possible with a 90 bend? Heavy but loose fitting hot plate for the kettle ..
