Put a bolt in it - the Frakenstove is done

Today's job was to move the rocks into the frame for the rocket stove.  The thermal mass has been built and the heater is running very well.  The smoke back issue has been addressed, and I am throughly pleased with the result of the project.


The first lighting - still dialing in how much tinder in the feed chamber is necessary.  The video demonstrates too much tinder initially.

Chimney and one off custom support bracket.

Hot enough to change the color of the quarters.

Youssef approves.  Freddie thinks that it will take three days of burning for the rocks to heat up.  I think they will get hot in an afternoon.  We shall see.
