I can use this to cook or to purify water by boiling it.

For the Preparedness list.

I hope the link works.

I had never heard of a rocket stove. Clever design.

A rib eye at 700 deg for just a few minutes would be brilliant.

Did you do a countdown before igniting it?

I have lots of standing dead mesquite trees in our pasture. I prefer to dig pit, make coals, cook in cast iron pots. Dutch Oven Biscuits are the BEST!!!

I hope to get the grill and fuel tray this weekend. I had planned to bake biscuits in a dutch oven for my first project. I’m planning to do quite a bit of cooking with it. I’m thinking of making the grill adjustable for height so I can regulate the temperature. I’ve got a lot of learning and experimenting to do.

Any suggestions on controlling the temperature from any one will be appreciated.

I practiced with various empty cans and a knife, to make a version of rocket stove.
I kept it up until I could make one out of just about any two cans.

The net is full of various types and style plans to work from.

Damn! I forgot to countdown, but I swear I heard a slight roar like an afterburner. With my hearing loss it could have been my imagination.

You Tube has lots of Rocket Stove how to stuff from simple to complicated.

Please excuse the self-ping so that I can study with a faster internet connx.

I would assume you need a way to control the oxygen getting to the flame....maybe a vent hole or two in the pipe? Maybe a door on the combustion chamber that has vents you can open and close to control the fuel air mix?

One-time ping for no-to-illegals.

Thanks, rw4site. I love to learn about projects like that. Bookmarked!

Looks good.

I have been playing with these for over a year now. See “everything nice stove”. The dimensions seem scalable. I use stove pipe for stoves 8 to 10 inch diameter and two feet high! That one makes a real noise. Shoots a flame two feet high.
