bree: on the previous episode, we installedthe zig zag exhaust pipe and tested the dragon rocket stove. (music) bree: it’s time to stretch the air intakepipe to reach outside. gary: we are working on driving a pilot hole.
jet woodworking machinery ireland, we have to cut through here and put the restof the intake piping in marvin: you’re out. gary: we will just make quick of this. power toolsmarvin: i would have not thought of that.
gary: we went out the other side. marvin: you know this is five inch. gary: you know this will fit. let’s take it out and let’s put it together. gary: this is my friend marvin. he is helping us get piping done today. just like that. marvin: oh jeeze. that’s perfect! gary: i got it off.
shelly: so what’s in there? gary: oh. it’s a mouse. we have had the rocket stove for several years. we don’t really burn it a great deal. just during the really colder winter days. all right, let’s see what kind of dust weare really looking at. oh look at that..a smithering of dust. shelly: let’s get in there and look. bryson: there was spider webs in it.
which is surprising because spiderwebs melt. shelly: hardly nothing huh? bryson: it tells us how cool those pipes actuallyrun. gary: so it was good to be able to see thatmost of the heat has been coming off the chamber is what is really radiating into the room. and then the other heat that is coming outof the flu is really being stored in the bench. there is not really a great deal being storedin the bench. just enough to keep it…nice and warm tosit on with a little cushion. bryson: very heat efficient.
gary: i really wanted to bring the shop vacinside but shelly wouldn’t let that happen cause those things spread quite a lot of dust. fortunately we had a window close by and icould put the shop vac in the window. shelly: this is our big cob pile…or claypile. are we ready? shae: i think so. shae: i picked some weeds. so we are going to just build it up through the course of a few days. let dry...build it up...that type of deal. i’m at the mental level i want to be at.
shelly: ha ha, ok…. shae: that will all be taken care of whenwe get this all built up. gary: i stick a little hole in each of therounds. so that the next stack of cob that goes onthat goes on a dryer section, plugs in like lego’s…like building blocks. bryson: we only move about a foot of cob ata time due to the fact if you do too much it will start to sag and squish down. so, you can only do about a foot a day. bryson: we are going to cob the whole wallall the way to the ceiling.
gary: it is perfectly water proof now andthis just caps right over the top of that. marvin: great. gary: i need to make some adjustments to ourflange piece and we will be able to get that on the roof. this is where the fold is going to go. this is the top that is the pitch of the roof. bryson: it is pretty tough stuff. gary: we have left out 2 inches to make surewe have plenty of clearance. and now we are using some wet patch to sealour flange piece on top.
bryson: squishy… gary: squish it on down. alright. looking great. this is coming out good. bryson: because if it looks bad, dadis responsible for it. no… shelly: i think it looks beautiful. gary: ok, go down about a foot.
keep coming. ok, come on down. gary: in one way we want our cob to dry fasteris i want to go ahead and put some plastic over the windows and cover our entrance. and then fire up the stove. gary: your concern is that there is too muchcob. shae: the whole wall is a bit much. if you look at the bench we already have,the heat only goes on the top of it anyway. no matter how hot you get it, the sides andthe back never heat up.
the heat never expands to that. it only expands up a bit. so, we need to figure out where that heatstops expanding and then put that…make that amount. gary: ok. that is helpful because if we put like hereand we know heat goes up, we can go thicker here. shae: we decided to change the layout of thepiping because well… we really didn’t want to cob the whole wall.
bryson: more parts. shae: we are putting the piping a little lowerand will also help keep the heat a little lower to the ground because heat rises. i’m hoping it will keep the room stay warm. gary: it feels so wet, like the day we putit on. let’s start a fire bry. i thin i’m happier. keep most of the heat down a little lower. bree: stay tune for episode 6 of the dragonrocket stove as we continue to cob this dragon
beast. anyway, we’ll see you next week. all: thank you. bryson: garen and his friend built a reallycool ski bike. gary: he calle me i think it was yesterday… he said he was running with it, as he is falling,getting back running sill all in one motion, and he broke one of the front ski’s. bryson: garen has a video on how the ski bikewas made if you want to check it out. link in description.
shelly: what’s down there max? it looksexciting. you digging a hole? he is licking your leg. does that help? shae: very encouraging. nicely done diesel. bryson: i was singing a song. go ahead though… shae: our family moved from the city to thecountry.
