New Rocket Stove Takes Wood Heat To New Level
 ✖  |
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.
