Heating wood for association workshop?

[emlaurent]

I have heated my house with pallets for years.
But, it was always the same pallets, the same size.

It's simple bcp with identical palettes. This is also what is painful with all the different palettes (which is my case).

So, I built a sort of pincers with pallets, which holds them upright, and cut them into pieces using an electric chainsaw from aldi or liddle (cheap).
But these pallets had three large beams ...

Not an idiot as a principle!
What is the pb of the beams? It’s more firewood right?

The little tricks are not bad for properly dismantling a pallet. But, given the volume of wood, it's not too possible when you want to heat with ...

do not confuse the dismantling of the pallet to recover the wood usable as materials and firewood

I like the electric chainsaw

of course !

Precisely, it is a plus, much more wood to burn.
Large pallets are used to support heavy loads, such as steel.

To better understand if the rocket stove is the right solution to our problem of heating the workshop with the recovery pallet, we are going to conduct an evening of testing & prototyping around a rocket stove.

The idea will be to mount a fireplace by stacking bricks (without mortar) and adding steel tubes for the chimney. It should allow us to test 1 or 2 different configs!

To find out more about the process and the project, see the link:

If you are interested in participating in this prototyping evening, you are welcome! It happens Friday September 28 from 14 p.m. at Technistub (Mulhouse)
Please note, this is not a training evening on the rocket stove, in the sense that there will be no expert on this subject! The idea is to learn by doing

In addition, there will be a barbecue in the evening! A double opportunity to discover Technistub!

To participate, contact me in MP or by email

it is interesting to mount brick fireplaces to try free of charge except that there is always too much leakage, either cold air intake or it is not necessary, or smoke outlet

small solution: stick the bricks with clay, soft enough to make the finest possible joint: it reduces leaks but does not prevent the recovery of bricks

the clay is cooked by fire, but does not stick to the bricks: it rather makes sheets of terracotta between the bricks

I saw this technique on the web pages of people who rocket.
In fact, if the rocket works (draft, smoke outlet, combustion, ...) with just stacked bricks, it can only work better with joints.

But I retain the idea of ​​clay!

Along the same lines as clay, the fireplace:
You need a good chimney, very hot, to have the ideal draft.
