New Rocket Stove Takes Wood Heat To New Level

New Rocket Stove Takes Wood Heat To New Level WOOD STOVES/FURNACES Rocket heater stoves have been around for a long time but Sky Huddleston and his father Phillip have designed the first stove that meets UL standards The Liberator rocket heater installs like a conventional wood stove but uses less fuel “We set out to make a rocket heater that is NRTL-listed and uses small fuel sources to heat houses very inexpensively ” says Sky With a sideways burn fuel is fed from the top and the stove reaches 600 degrees in less than 5 minutes By using a lot of air rocket heaters burn fast to efficiently use all the fuel’s volatile compounds resulting in a low exhaust temperature less than 300 degrees and no smoke The 165-lb 3-ft tall steel stove has cooling fins to radiate heat The stove requires refueling every hour or so the Huddlestons have a pellet hopper for the heater One bag of pellets lasts up to 20 hours They also have an outside intake air adapter The Huddlestons manufacture the stoves themselves with U S-made A36 hot-rolled steel The current price is $1 500 Videos on the Liberator website show how the heater works Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Liberator LLC 350 Farris Spur Bourbon Mo 65441 ph 573 468-4043; www rocketheater com; smhuddleston@rocketmail com
