Hello,Joined the list a few days ago and have been following the conversations with interest.
I'm going to work with my x-partner to make me a wood stove for my living truck. Shes a blacksmith and has previously made a number of ornamental stoves.
http://www.firebird-ironwork.co.uk/stoves-and-fires/I read a few books a few years back about woodstove design which gave me some knowledge about primary and secondary air.
My idea (drawn before I started reading posts here) is attached. At the moment I'm thinking the dimensions will be A - depth about 60cm B - height about 40cm C - stack diameter 13cmIt needs to front load as the top will be a big hot surface which will be used for cooking etc. The front door will be airtight and I was going to put in a window so I can see what is going on inside. The red pipe will be feeding preheated air. Actually 2 pipes one for primary that will feed to the bottom/back the other secondary) . and both will have valves to regulate flow. Flue pipe will be about 2 meters long.
In addition to this stove I'm going to have a large water tank with a connected 'heat exchanger' that I can place on the stove top. This will heat the water tank while the stove is running which will then act as heat mass and hopefully keep the well insulated/reasonably draft free living space at a reasonable temperature for some time after the stove has gone out.
I appreciate that this is not going to achieve a 'perfect' burn but would appreciate any ideas for improvements / comments.
Best regards Darren
