Rocket stove oven/flat top

[archeryrob]

Anyone ever done, or seen anything like this? I got this wild hair pushing me for a project later this year. I have this idea to get a 100# propane take for keep on Marketplace. Drain and clean. Cut to top and side out in the middle. Get a 250 gallon, old oil tank and scrap it for the flat sides. Use part of one side to make a flat, blackstone like griddle on top. A drop area to allow air flow under griddle and over stove. Cut/weld other flat side to make a box to slide in the tank opening to me an oven. Add a smoke stack maybe coming out side or bottom, unsure yet to trap heat on the tank.

This will be made with legs/wheels on far side and the near side will rest on the rocket stove. Its all in my head, no pictures yet,

Thoughts? Ideas?

My heads not picturing it this morning...

Mine neither, can you draw it up?

Do I have to do it in CAD? Just floating IDeas.

Or one with these.

Gave up on the propane take and though I'd cut up and oil tank.

Probably turn the rocket stove to the left to feed from the side and give more room to feed without touching the tank.

Left is side and right is front.

Not exactly a rocket, but cool, nonetheless.

both have lots of rocket stove ideas and technical info. i been reading building small ones few years. look into the "batch rocket" for longer cooking burns.

AR, I may be waaaay off here but any rocket stove I've ever seen is full blast scorching heat. I'm not sure how you are going to regulate your temps ? I'm in to see the build !

My thought as well, seems like it would be a blowtorch! Very interested in the project and outcome regardless!

Its all on how you feed it. I just cooked on it tonight.

Now the longer I ran it and got a goof bed of coals after this video one sliver of wood kept a good mid simmer.

Actually, I wonder if i need a 6", not 4" as tis, to be hot enough. TBD
