I'm not sure where the term "reactive furnace" comes from. This is how wood stoves work. And I've never heard anyone call a wood stove that.
Also I'm not sure the practicality of this.
It's too heavy/bulky to carry if you need to bug out.
not good for indoor use unless fitted with a chimney and a better way to load wood.
can't clean it until it's out and cooled down
there are easier ways to burn wood
Its a fancy rocket stove
It is not a rocket stove. This is a very poorly designed shit stove.
Don't rocket stoves use forced air?
Dont think so. But then again rocket stoves are fed from the side. Idk then.
No. The chimney pulls in air. The rocket stove is designed to be narrow all the way through so that the suction of the chimney can maintain a high air flow through the burn chamber. In a regular stove the chimney also pulls in air but the burn chamber is large and the air is not directed at the fire.
The principle is really neat though. Since the fire comes out the top it draws in air from the bottom, the hotter it gets the more it pushes air out, and in turn pulls more air in. It's a crude venturi effect. You can learn a lot if you just open your mind a little bit instead of being a grumpy ass 24/7 maybe 22/6.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. Your rebuttal has nothing to do with what I said. I know how it works. There is nothing to open my mind about. It's not a "reactive furnace." It's an impractically designed wood stove.

Wow... You mean a wood stove? Who would have ever thought. Thanks for the mind blower.
Amazing smugness for someone so wrong.
