okay so i'm a new chicken owner and biopod maker and so far my works are white . what am i doing wrong ?

I need some help. I made a bsf bin a couple months ago, I've been filling it with all kinds of vegetable scraps, but i'm not seeing any activity. I even caught a few black soldier flies and put them in the bin, and still nothing. What could I be missing? It started to dry out a little, so I added some water. 😮

Congrats Trevor! Welcome back!

New catchphrase for you gleaned from another YT channel: Safety first and science second. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5yrpoOHe6mJeKMsi=jLaZ8b8r7c3qn3Qj). Your dad may enjoy the physics in this video. It was good seeing you back on channel today. Peace brother

Look forward to that compost bin build. How long do the bsf stay in the larva stage?

Too far out in the country for Live. But we are here!

Welcome back to YT, it will be good seeing the completion of your camper. Wishing you and your family a great summer as kids transition back from college and off to college. Peace brother

I used to give my soldier fly larva to my bearded dragon when he was younger. Then I discovered that the larva make great composters. The larva has a high fat content; so, can't be given as a main insect source; but, the adult soldier flies seem to be a good food source. But, I don't know for sure since I have not found any information about the nutritional value of soldier flies.

Well deserved break! Glad you enjoyed yourself and your family!

Glad you are doing well. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.

Wow he's getting old graduation he was tiny when i started watching your ricket stove and worm farms

Oh my god this is genius!!!!

This design sux.

Cant u just modify your housebin so u dont have to root through trash

Sup

Did you ever thought of use a mix of Portland soup and water through franken foam and create a cemfoam to fill drywalling for insulation purposes

Hello. My experience with similar rocketstoves is that the area in the firebox where the pellets are must be 80% or thereabouts. This is so that the draught goes through the pellets and not past. It has worked for me. Thanks for the great video!

do they end up eating the avocado skin and orange peels and stuff? Or do you have to remove them after they clean the insides out?

How long did it take to heat the water to touch hot? You're losing heat out the top of the chimney. Could put a kettle on there😊 or make the coil go up farther.

Подовые печи не так работают. Столько трудозатрат.... Впустую

Install 200 worms, drown 1/3 of them straight away! Mission accomplished! :D

why don't you turn this into a back yard cooking/heat/cold+hot water sink project using a countertop sink?

I planted the ivy 25 years ago in a contained shady garden. It saved me yearsof weeding. But I just retired...time to take it out. Great video

I’ll give it a try.

Note to others using this video as a guide. Please do not put cob as tge first layer. Put pure clay (i.e without added straw). In the second layer use cob. In tge first (inside) layer, direct fire on cob is useless as the straw will burn away and the structural integrity will suffer. Also, make sure you insulate the floor of the oven, so that the wood base (table top) does not burn away. I am certain the medium to long term failure of this oven is not part of this video.

Always connect positive first then negative.

How long is the entire process?

Thanks for that! So I have my DREAM REQUEST.... Anyone know how to make a smokeless stove that somehow still can impart the wood smoke flavor on meat?

Excellent video! I would normally do it with wood as well, but since I had a 4’ Tupperware bin hanging around, I decided to use that. I knew from watching another video that I wanted to do a ramp and not pipes, like I’ve seen others do, because the BSFL doesn’t always use them, but couldn’t figure out how to seal the ramp to the wall. The bin walls are not completely flat, so the ramp doesn’t seal completely to it. I’ll use flashing, which I have a ton of lying around. One day I’ll build a custom, bigger one, but as you said, what I’m doing now is a good prototype.

It’s stunning how quickly they went through that chicken! Holy crap! I want to build one of these for my chickens. Did you put up the build video? It’s simple enough to build. I just want to see any little gotchas you might have run into. Edit: never mind. I went through your videos and I see it.

Why didn’t you just leave the orange plastic cap on and with a razor cut the end of it off then try putting on the hose? Just a thought. Nice work tho. 👍🏻

I think the side holes are slowing the the natural draw from the chimney forcing air through the air intake. There is too much air getting to the chimney but it's not running through the fuel.

@13:30, make sure you CLOSE the ball valve before glueing. Maybe you can get lucky, and the glue won't get into the valve mechanism, but best practice is to close the valve before glueing. Before I knew that, I made some joints with ball valves that I couldn't turn all the way off because they got glue in them!

Dry pour cement might be a cool video if you have not done one yet.

Yea, it seems like those ceramic or terra-cotta chimney caps are NOT as heat resistant as people think. If they are on top of your house, they only get about 200 degrees vs. the 1000 F you are giving it here.

how many mm thickness was the drain pan from the junkyard?

I like it but have to laugh at a “simpler” design… I mean it is in one way…. 😊

i think your side holes are too much. you want the 2nd air to get hot. but not bad

I know it's 7 years old but learning is learning. Clipping a sharp corner of flashing makes 2 sharp corners. Take a couple extra seconds and buff the 2 corners with a file to remove the sharp corners.

Always glad to see your videos Tom.

Nice video, although the music doesn't help at all

I don't know if I have mentioned it before but if you use a pot skirt around your pot you will use 30% less wood.

Maybe this is a dumb question but, what kind of worms?

Good information

The bsf daddy Phucks the hoochie mama house fly so hard so hard they run out the bin and move into the next neighborhood.

Waiting for hubby to put my aerator together, I’m the worm expert, but not mechanically inclined. But ready to make my first worm tea.
