Brilliant DIY Off-Grid Water Heater Using a Rocket Stove - No Propane!

This is a brilliant DIY hack for creating an off-grid water heater with just a simple handmade rocket stove, water barrel, and copper pipes! No pump! No propane!
It was built by a couple of incredible people we met last summer, Sebastien and Isabelle. They're passionate about reconnecting with the earth and finding sustainable ways to live. One of their hobbies is experimenting with rocket stoves and making them function as a cooktop, a heat source, and sometimes even as a hot water heater.
A rocket stove is a simple stove with 3 openings: the one at the bottom for building your fire, the middle one is to feed wood to the fire, and the one at the top is a chimney. By winding copper pipes inside the cob walls of the chimney, water in the pipes is heated up and circulated from the water barrel, around the rocket stove, and back into the barrel by a process called: thermosiphon.
According to Wikipedia, a thermo syphon "is a method of passive heat exchange, based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump."
Our minds were blown when we learned about this passive heat exchange that didn't require electricity or propane!
This is their first prototype and they're hoping to refine the system this year. Now that they know it works, they're hoping to use an insulated hot water tank that will keep the water warm for longer (and avoid using a plastic barrel to heat water). This will eventually be an outdoor shower for them.
Sebastien and Isabelle from La Nature à l'État Pur are creating some incredible living spaces, and are offering opportunities for people to come relax in nature and to learn off-grid living techniques. Check out their website to find out more:

What do you think of this off-grid water heater? Have you seen or used any propane-free off-grid water heaters? Thanks for watching!

[@ROL2023]

Well i have mixed feelings. Any clue how long ive been trying to figure out how to do a portable heating system w out lp? Lmao of course KZbin to the rescue. Smh...lmao

[@afiah2o]

It’s unclear what this stove is made of - is it concrete with extra sand? Or clay with grog (ground up pre-fired clay to avoid cracking)? I would be nervous to put the heated water back into a plastic tank in a cyclical system. A food grade steel barrel may be safer... is there an overflow valve and a pressure valve on the tank? Thanks for posting this. Interesting!

[@afiah2o]

Micha EL can someone post the recipe for the insulated cement?

[@bb1111116]

Exploring Alternatives; burning wood? Is not sustainable except for a very small group of users.

[@ronnie-being-ronnie]

bb1111116 The rocket mass stove and heaters use a fraction of the wood used in traditional wood burning devices, including the new ones that are supposed to be more efficient. The bonus is that they also make good use of small pieces of wood...no logs required, so that means more sustainable as dead branches and brush are good. Fouch Family live in Idaho and heat a small home with RMH. They run a burn in the am and it keeps the house comfortable until the next morning. I would love to see if someone would do an experiment: shred and compress the waste matter that comes from crops...corn or other grain stalks, for example, do not really add much nutrients to soil, and do not make good fodder for animals.

[@OffgridSecrets]

I built this and it works amazing! It took me 3 days and i documented it for sharing. If you want to see it come down. Our water gets to 140f or 60c and stays hot for hours! This video inspired me. Thank you!

[@kittiesandcolas7957]

That's awesome! I got to ask, how often (and how) do you clean the copper? 🐱🌱

[@newbrunswick12345]

This has been used in New Zealand for at least 100 years and the coils are often built in to the back of a wood stove. The system is called a “wet back” water heater (not a slur) and it is important for the tank to be close to the fire. You can use a regular hot water tank with a relief valve and a set of cut off valves. In the summer the system is closed off and electricity can be used to heat the water. In the winter the power is turned off and the valves opened and the coil in the back of the wood stove fire box, or embedded coil in the fire masonry will heat the tank. Bullet proof system.

[@andrewford80]

Stephen Lockie limited to rural properties now tho right?

[@andrewford80]

Geenine44 looks like it's council specific. Some councils don't allow them unless rural

[@newbrunswick12345]

andrewford80 the system does produce more particles in the burn as the water does cool the process slightly, but highly efficient woodstoves are still within the limits set by many councils.

[@Geenine44]

Are you thinking of coal range or cooking stoves Andrew? If they can be multi fuelled then yes it can only be used in rural areas. But many are now wood only with the perks and features of the range. Grew up using a coal range so was glad to come across the Pyroclassic Fires. May as well get as many uses out of the wood as possible now that I’m having to pay for it.

[@jsmythib]

I have always wanted to try the coil on my wood stove. Capturing thermal energy and storing it in water has lots of uses! That build is perfectly artistic. Great job.

[@headingoutside]

I lived on a boat 40 years ago, and we heated the boat with this same principal. We had a small coal stove instead of the rocket stove, but essentially it worked the same way. Up on deck was the water tank and it gravity fed water down to the stove which heated the copper water pipes which then ran around the boat and back to the tank on the upper deck. It worked really well. I'm so glad to see this rocket stove. I'm going to build myself one!

[@gpkayaksurfer]

Love the rocket stove! I’ve made a few off grid, log fired hot tubs and a few things I’ve noted to help the thermosiphon ( and maybe some people watching this video ) the bottom pipe taking the cold water to the fire wants to be running slightly down hill. The coil around the heat source wants to be going uphill continually, and the exit pipe wants to be going slightly uphill. You can add a small solar powered pump to speed it up even more. On my current set up, with the pump running i can heat 700l of water to 40c from 5c in around 2/3 hours.

[@milkymeats]

Oh man. That sounds fabulous! Would you be able to send me in the right direction for building a decent log fired hot tub? I have a dead spar shell id love to hear up or a humble bath.

[@WilliamPurcellHotshotCustom]

Do you put the pump at the cold input/ at the tank or does it matter?

[@PackWolfypack]

My Dad made something like this, but on a much larger scale maybe 5 or more years ago. He learned about rocket stoves on KZbin and came up with a system of how to heat the water for our home. He also made sular pannels that heat our water with sunlight. I haven't had a cold shower in years.

@ I garden because I have to , know it's a fireproof clay sand cement mix of some sort, the top shape can be determined how you like for using the copper pipe/tubing as the form for shaping the clay to, so there's room for really improving on something like this one shown here. rectangular transitioning into a cone shape is my idea in mind at the moment, with one chunk of angle iron across in a V to blast the heat into the mass more directly and by conduct conduction both.

Since I intend to have a green house someday, I wanted to know your opinion on how well this would do for heating the greenhouse. I think it would be excellent. I've also considered a large compost heap in the center of the greenhouse. But I don't see any reason why I couldn't combine the two. Perhaps even using the compost heap as an insulator for the Barrel.

[@practicalskills2253]

compost heap as insulator is actually a genius idea! love it

[@markbtw7987]

I've seen a similar idea where they ran tubing through a composting pile and that naturally heated the water, plus the compost kept continually warming itself.

Would be great to fully insulate the water tank and the copper pipes with adobe as well... even better to build a separate cooker and make the chimney 4 or 5 times taller (perhaps in stackable sections) to make the same amount of wood heat about 10 times more water.

[@seven9399]

Try lagging the pipes also try putting up heat gauge an pressure gauge also measure you flow an return pipe work to calculate heat loss and yes definitely insulate the you water drum aka cylinder

That was interesting. Do you know what the temp of the water was coming off the stove and back into the tank. It looks like the hot water could lose some heat going back to the tank through the flexible hose. I suppose you could put pipe insulation on it to prevent that.

[@Thalanox]

[@2bczar4u]

Would have been nice to see how it was constructed.

[@savagefoxdesigns6692]

You saying you cant figure it out from this description? The stove is made from dirt and cob mixed with water to turn it into a putty then formed and left to dry. It takes some time to let each layer dry. The stove itself is a very simple design. The only original concept here is forming a coil with copper tubing for the top section of the stove. It might be a rocket stove but its not rocket science! Simple thermodynamics! Genius I love it and will be building my own! Eventually!

[@2bczar4u]

Yes, me and 7 others would have liked to have seen it actually being built. I have built other smaller rocket stoves but not like this. Sheesh!

[@analogdistortion]

2bczar4u: Youuu filthy mouth!

[@dennismitchell5276]

The Savage Method except cob will crack and decay under high heat. It can dissolve in water and rain. Different proportions work better than others. Do you need to feed it constantly? Just saying it is only an advert for the concept. A steam explosion is deadly so if you are going to play around with it you better have a damn good idea of how to play safe. Luckily other productions are more educational.

One can really see how the rocket stove works with this compact design.

[@NTF-zb9wi]

Four questions, which I invite anyone to answer: 1) Should the coils be set a certain distance into the cobb, to avoid melting the copper, even though it has water flowing through it? 2) What would be the best composition of the cobb, to prevent cracking; esp. if the coils are embedded into the cobb? 3) If the stack were coated with water glass, to reduce cracking, would that insulate the coils too much to be efficient? 4) What would be the needed cure time before this would be usable, during cool weather? I appreciate any constructive input I can get! I'm facing yet another winter without hot water; and, long hot soaks are the only relief I have to the chronic pain I live with.

[@littlepotato2741]

James, there are many different designs for rocket stoves on the internet that you can look at. And many of those go more into design and what you need to do (and type of materials you need) in order to build the rocket stove yourself. Then you need tubing that you can shape and can hold up to intense temperatures. So pretty much metal tubing to stand up to that heat. Copper tubing is often used because it's soft enough to bend yourself with minimal tools and has a very good resistance to rust, etc. The water flow is due to the thermosiphon that he mentioned. Wikipedia has a nice page on it with pictures and everything.

Just change out the barrel to metal, then place it a foot or two above the rocket stove on a metal rack. You would get the heat through the exchanger and the heat from being directly over the fire too. But you better have a safety pop off valve or you may have an explosion due to the pressure
