    Guys" until today I was saying Top Lift Updraft and I have been pointed out that it actually TOP LIT....There are CG in the video which is hard to replace and hence this comment will be pinned on the top for everyone to notify. Thanks Steven Feil for pointing it

    Before it even burned I thought aluminum isn't a good choice! Nice biochar though. I call these either twig stoves or wood gasifier stoves.

    Also don't add water to the stove but tip the content of the stove into a bucket of water.
    This wat you are not subjecting your TLUD to needless amounts of thermal stress which will make it last longer.
    TLUD's should be made from stainless steel and there that countless of suitable items available everywhere to make a cheap DIY TLUD stove.

    I heat my house with homemade 5 gallon tlud stoves. They are lit inside a fairly airtight cabinet with a heat exchanger above. Outside air is ducted from my attached garage to maximize efficiency. On many occasions, I have added fuel as the stove is burning, which only slightly decreases the efficiency. I have also induced these with air and have melted over 500 pounds of aluminum, 10 pounds at a time.

  • @jonabub
    @jonabub Před 3 lety +5

    I think the aluminum melting point is too low, Charcoal gets really hot when burning, easily above 600°C which is the melting point.
    I think the design is good, but you need to use a steel alloy ...

    Is it true that the TLUD method gets to a higher temperature than the traditional charcoal method, and that this temperature difference is what males it biochar?
    Also, if you want to add it to your soil, is it a good idea to activate the 'char by soaking it in compost tea first?

    • @VIDEOEPPO
      @VIDEOEPPO  Před 3 lety

      This is just my opinion based on what I have known so far. The TLUD stove was burning with a blue flame midway through at its peak. Maybe this was the time it generates high heat. I haven't seen such a thing on Rocket stove or traditional stove.
      Soaking the char with compost tea seems to be a good idea too. Nonetheless, it should be added in low quantity and check for the plant growth. Soil is different everywhere. So it would be better to observe the phenomenon and find your own receipe.

    The initial cost is low, therefore finding a fix to stop the melting is desired. How about a ceramic or heavy iron grate? I saw a tutorial on turning two 55 gal. drums into a smokeless trash burner that used this same design.
    Dry leaves make the best mulch, "IF" shredded well, 10 or 15 to 1.

      Thanks for the inputs. This Project was me testing the idea of a TLUD. I later made another one with sheet mettals that were rolled into tubes. I have posted a separate video on that too. One more thing, leaves burn faster. I used wood chips left over from my projects and it burns much longer.(long enough to make rice)

      The smoke does goes down and the tars in the smoke are filtered by the wood chips or pellets before it gets burned.

      @@mihaiilie8808 that really isn't how these work. The smoke travels up and at the secondary AIR holes there is preheated air coming out which mixes with the smoke and burns.
      How do you propose that the smoke travels down and defies the laws of physics in regards to density and the fact that hot gasses rise up.
      Also speaking about my own stoves, which use forced air, there is not the slightest chance that smoke travels down against the current of the forced air.
