Complete Build of Rocket Stove Mass Heater with Homemade Mortar & Cob

[@Zeemike1]

Now that is some family values right there. Every kid should grow up doing things like that with the family...you guys rock.

[@petrospetros5835]

You just can't but give ten thumbs up for: family unity project, funny, cool idea, accuracy, filming, art work, just cool to watch and learn. Keep them coming people.

[@ilililhy1]

Rocket stoves work.best thing I ever did in my life for heat.

[@unbroken1010]

Interesting I'm trying to learn more about it

[@joycemyers8140]

Pretty educational for me because i have a seperate 2 1/2 car garage that I have been using for a personal shop and wanted to install a fireburning stove in for heat and i currently have something like 4-6 feral cats i let shelter in the winter so this will work just fine. I can put the boxes on top of the bench and they'll stay warm. Thanks.

[@catsindabag6885]

I know this video is hella old, but thank you for it because I'm totally going to implement this into my design! You're Angels 😇

[@KayvanChan]

Great resume on Rocket Mass Heater DIY...internet is FULL of information, but this video is awesome!! Thank You for doing it!!

[@trumpsahead]

Wonderfully done, a work of art. Your family is so lucky to be learning how to be self sufficient and resourceful. I'm still learning how to build a simple insulated rocket stove to cook on outside. Thanks for the post.

Ahh man its absolutely wonderful, lush warm cozy,beautiful

[@pierre5325]

Right, good on ya family, Tthat was some great fun to watch it was. Thanks for teaching this Old Creaker a thing or so! Later Mates, I'll keep tuning in I will! pierre from New Mexico

[@lizzardlife]

hey guys at first I must say I was skeptical but after seeing what a wonderful job y'all did I am truly impressed and inspired!! I got to make one of these!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@gmeister03]

2019! This was the first video I saw with all of you... 6 years ago. 😳😳👌🏻

[@squarebob62]

I would love to hear an update about how this installation is working during this super cold weather. My guess is, you are mighty happy you decided to build it. :) Love your projects.. Thanks for sharing.

[@70kirkster83]

One of my favorite videos on all of KZbin. Educational, entertaining, and inspiring. All while being clear, concise, and to the point. Thank you very much for sharing this.

[@TheMistyKiss]

Oh my gosh, that is super cool!! Too bad I'm a renter, building one of those looks like fun!

[@stevew8191]

Nice job. Cute video of the process. I'm building ours now in the greenhouse, and the reminder about letting the cob set while building is a good point. It's heavy, and would settle if stacked too tall. Thanx.

THAT is a really good looking Rocket Mass Heater!

[@wambutu7679]

This is a perennial watch for me.

[@isculptu]

This is the most awesome Rocket Stove Mass Heater I have seen yet. Good job. Because of you and this video I will build me one just like it. Thanks guys/ Family.

[@dennyerickson6578]

Stumbled upon your videos , very cool and very well done

[@Brian-FFS]

The magnet idea is awesome. Using it on my regular wood stove.

[@tdub694201]

im with the guy below my comment,looks great,,please make another videos of what it looks like and and clean out at the end of season

[@sonofeloah]

Love your presentation and showing how it is constructed. I am looking to build one that will also have water pipe laid into the cob for hot water.

[@rolandlenzenhuber6289]

Your videos are great! Love your family. Your videos have inspired me to study rocket mass heaters and alternative building methods.

[@robhi3518]

Super fantastic clip. You guys are rockin.

[@jasonfoster9118]

Best video I've seen so far. Nice job.

[@123-v9e-s4y]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. I also love the magnetic nail retriever.

hey 23 seconds in and I'm smiling very nice job vice nice film and very nice to meet you all

[@cainplant2117]

you probably watch tv all day

[@srkuhr]

Thank you so much for this video. One day if I am ever able to have a house of my own I want to build such a thing.

[@IdgaradLyracant]

You can wrap a hot water coil around the drum and drive it with either a thermal siphon or pump and use it to heat the radiant floor. Thinking about doing that if I get around to doing a super-adobe shack. You would likely need a burping tank to handle over-pressure in the coil but perhaps a 2 inch clearance might be enough to keep the water < boiling temperature.

[@haleenewilliams6446]

Going back to the basics.. I like that!

[@jeffreywang6547]

I need a really warm fireplace and a sweet good sleep.

[@RSLtreecare]

Hi, this looks very good. I'll have a look at more info via the website and see what can be learnt.

[@greentur1164]

Beautiful, funny and hard work family. Great job !!!!.

[@geraldhartman2336]

Great video of an awesome family project. Gives me a lot of ideas. Thank you for sharing.

[@davidturton9790]

It looks like the pipe that is being used is just galvanized ventilation pipe. If this is the case, this is not a good idea. The reason that stove pipe is more expensive has to do with different processes in manufacturing that does not produce toxic gasses like the galvanized piping does. By the time that the exhaust gets to the chimney it should be cool enough to reduce the gasses significantly but the temperatures near the clean-out are definitely worth concern.

[@basedbear1605]

Indeed. Heating galvanized pipe can release Zinc vapors, which are toxic. Good catch.

[@elizarobinrobinson4294]

This little gal is delightful, warm and enthusiastic. What more could you want?

[@BrotherBeno]

Realy enjoy your channel and your DIY Family Projects. This build looks real good and enjoyed the progress and how it was produced (the vid). Keep it up folks.

[@kimjohnston615]

love this family!

[@maverickh9]

Your family is adorable.

[@cliffp.8396]

You guys are a cool family

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

That is true. It was a sweet thing to see.

[@designdoctor247]

I think our family has watched this no less than 100 times ...but seriously we obviously love the projects you guys do. Are u adding a rocket 🚀 stove to your outdoor bath tub?

[@designdoctor247]

Nicely done. I'm sure it will keep you all toasty.

[@johncarter55]

Excellent work....thank you.

[@pitbullsandcalicos]

Absolutely stunning !! well done guys 🤗🖒❤💯✔

[@vagardener1229]

excellent off grid heating source!

[@garthwunsch]

Regarding the nails... I use a stack of 1" rare earth magnets inside a plastic pill bottle, then I put it inside a tin can, swirl around in the ashes, and when loaded with nails, lift it out and over a container for the scrap nails. Remove the magnets from the inside of the tin can, and all the nails fall away - no mess - no fuss... Enjoy

[@johnmcglone4]

Do you have a side view of the combustion chamber? I can't quite get the design understood in my head. Also, I see you have a cleanout, but how do you get your chimney brush through the 180 degree turn and up the chimney? Thank you!

[@pablocesaropaso3401]

Amazing , good job , greethings from Argentina )

[@johnleepettimore2196]

There is valuable information....Right Here!!

[@PastorToni]

Wow! Beautiful!

[@mikecorbeil]

From what I understood from the guy I knew, and he explained while showing me the stove while it was burning a couple of pieces of split hardwood, the wood burns very, very slowly, lasting a long time while producing a lot of heat. A small fan is included and I think it's adjustable for speed or power. It's to push hot air out at a faster pace. The guy said that a couple normal pieces of split hardwood would burn for hours and I don't recall seeing much at all for flames; just little ones.

[@volynnebixler2977]

We love your video. It answered a lot of our questions. Thanks for sharing!

[@beebob1279]

Being so awkward looking I would consider it in the basement and let the heat radiate up to the first floor. The mass could release heat throughout the day or night to keep the upstairs warm. Great video.

[@ConstantinLehadus]

You have worked very well and I something like

[@freebird2924]

I just LOve this stuff! Fun and functional!

[@archeravelin545]

I have to say, this project looked like an absolute train wreck for most of the video, but you guys really pulled it off at the end. Good work.

[@amoroso13s]

Congratulations, you guys are wonderful :)

[@vrej9268]

You guys are a super cool family, I especially liked the sculptor Jaque. Keep up the great work and humor. Best of luck to you all.

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Great build - you guys are awesome and make great vids -- thanks for sharing. Cheers, Patrick

[@gaetanproductions]

nice job and nice video

[@CausticVCoso]

Bravo! Well done.

[@mikecorbeil]

Fowl manure, chicken anyway, is great fertilizer when needing nitrates, but elderly farmer and his son once told me when I was starting my first garden during early 1980s that this manure has to be applied in very, very small doses; else, it'll burn the roots of plants. Potent birds! I also read that blending it with, fe, cow manure helps to provide a very complete and multi-use fertilizer for various plants, but most of my crops evidently didn't suffer from absence of nitrate boost.

[@transshack]

great job guys n gals

[@vladimirpesut7470]

Fun and nice. Thank's for video.

[@andthesunsets]

Good stuff! Love the narration.

Classic dad move

[@mikecorbeil]

Thanks for the reply. It's interesting science, what you describe, so learning more about it would surely make it all the more interesting. I wouldn't have expected such a difference, so it has me a little awed. And it has me wondering about something I don't precisely recall in detail but which is about poor people in India, maybe also other places, using dried manure, I think from cows or cattle, to use as "firewood" for cooking. I've stepped in fresh cow manure and didn't notice straw.

Do you still use this and the other rocket stoves on your property? If so can we get an update video? (If you made one I missed it, but I would love to see how they held up and modifications made if you guys did any.)

quick tip for the nails put the magnet in a bag pick up the nails turn the bag inside out BOOM

elly kill Great idea :)

[@clarivelgomez1706]

@@mylittlehomestead ok so you guys just used mortar mix to glue the bricks but the rest of the stove its red clay being used??

[@opticell]

No mention of burning off the galvanized coating of the 30 gallon barrel, done outside, never breathing any of the fumes. Please research about this toxic and dangerous poison, then add comments for all to read, cause otherwise a great video and how to will surely get plenty of people to try this. My first concern was when you said you only sanded the barrel before painting. Always read up on how to burn off the zinc/lead/cadium coating under the paint, you will notice the paint peels, then portions of the barrel turn to a mirror like reflection, then to dust when it reaches ^1100F . The fumes and dust of the coating are dangerous.

Nice Build! came out beautiful. I wanna take a nap on it now too lol

[@pdionne03901]

At the end, someone talks about a radiant floor, and that is what I would do, but it is based on info I stumbled on this week. You could pour a concrete floor, place heavy PVC tubes into it and then top the concrete off. Two pours would be needed as the tubes otherwise tend to float to the top. Then building a stove like yours would allow the house to be heated floor up and there would be no issues of Co2 being exposed as the PVC would be sealed in the concrete. The same exhaust could be used to vent to the outside. Equal temps would be achieved throughout the house, and the concrete would serve as heating mass to hold the heat. Where is your homestead built. I've watched most of your videos, and they are great, but would like to be able to evaluate how they would apply to my homes. One in NH and the projected one in TX.

Very cool. I wonder if you can substitute hemp for straw in the making of cob.
