I made mine from fire brick just to be on the safe side a few years ago. Placed it on the edge of my paver patio and like you mentioned I got a gas stove grate for the top. I’m in the Deep South, so when the temps cool off I cook on it., soups, stews and cobblers. Even made some Dutch oven bread. It’s fun to use and I clean up my yard for “fuel”. I have made morning coffee and breakfast during power outages from hurricanes. Heat is intense hence the name. Really glad I have it, cause you just never know. Thanks for what you do.

[@dandycat2204]

Gotta admit...You ROCK, LADY!!! At the start, my inner engineer said, "she's gonna need some kinda mortar (or mud, at least!). But no, works well enough. Best of all...like some others, I GOT BRICKS!! Finally, something I can have a go at. 😃😃😃😃

[@Bex-rg8pj]

I agree. She’s awesome 👏

[@villagesteader3552]

I have a cast iron Dutch oven that would be perfect…like yours it has a bail(handle) for you to hook it and get it off the fire. It was my Grandmother’s, sometimes it pays to be the oldest granddaughter!👍♥️🙏🇺🇸🤓🤣

[@canabsk2179]

What a great idea to use a spider on!! (cast iron Dutch oven with legs) ... you wouldn't even need a grate, and the base of bricks is strong enough to support a large, heavy cast iron spider!!!

[@kogabear1]

I think I watched about every rocket stove video there is. I came up with all kinds of ideas for the first one but after trying a few, the type you show is the best. This is definitely one of those KISS projects. What really is amazing is how easy they are to make and how efficient they really are.

[@patsweeney8112]

What a neat way to cook when the electricity is out!

[@judyfinnegan374]

Thanks soo much! You did a TERRIFIC JOB demonstrating this stove! Love it!! God bless ya!❤

[@christines2787]

It's pretty cool. Pair it with a haybox and it's perfect. Twigs and sticks need to be constantly fed into it which isn't a huge problem, but I love getting it up to temp, tucking it into an insulated box and forgetting about it until dinner.

[@nancytabor8302]

@@christines2787 would you explain the insulated box statement! Please

[@christines2787]

@@nancytabor8302 - Absolutely. A haybox is like an off grid slow cooker. Its a great method for stews, soups, and rice. Once the heat goes off, you don't have to do anything but stick it in the box. No.stiring. No peeking. Those would let heat eacape. My haybox is a Styrofoam cooler. I have a pad filled with sand on the bottom. I glue mylar blankets that reflect heat on the sides. Bring your food up to a good cooking temp using as small a pan as possescape. I like cast iron. No further energy is required at this point. The goal is to keep all that heat and put it to use. When I put the pot in my cooler. I tuck sand filled socks around it and another sand filled pad on top before I close the cooler. The sand, reflective mylar and the cooler itself all help with heat retention. It will cool over time, but slowly. Always use a thermometer to make sure the food hasnt dropped into the danger zone for bacteria.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

Now, I see why your fans LOVE you. You share so much useful info and cheap alternatives. I never seen anyone else do this. I will be making this. I have tons of leftover bricks from my house, but they are the ones with holes in them. I do have the bottom slab pieces. I hate cooking in my house because things pop. I will definitely do this to fry burgers on and other things that need high temps. You are amazing. I am pretty new to your channel, about a couple of months in.

[@ericwitt4586]

Damn good idea girl you’re so smart

[@ladyprepared]

Awesome video! It would be awesome to see a cooking series using this method of cooking!

[@joanxox4191]

Awesome idea for when it's really hot as well! Cook outside and keep your house cooler 😎

[@SR-iy4gg]

I have watched a number of videos recently like this, all from somewhere in Asia. This is the first time I've seen one like this without mortar and just using some concrete and regular bricks just stacked up. This is exactly like I've been thinking of recently. I watch those videos and I think of how I would do it and have been thinking along these lines. Especially when you're first doing it, building it this way without mortar would be good because if it doesn't come out the way you want, all you have to do is take it apart and start over. I think I would build maybe two or three like this side by side so you have multiple "burners," but you only need to light as many as you need at a time. I've also been thinking of how to create an oven, what I could use for a metal box to surround with bricks to do with this also.

[@BaBa_Morris]

This video will probably end up really saving someone someday! Extremely helpful and relevant. Thank you!

[@ElizabethDiaz-zr5ki]

You have one of the most useful and practical channels on youtube. I learn a lot from you!

[@susankay7606]

I've had one of these for years that I use on my deck to make chili in the winter and breakfast frequently. I have one more layer of brick on my chimney as it seems to draw better, and I use an old Square gas stove grate on the top of it. If I ever have to bug out I can load it in the back of my pickup one brick at a time and always have a way to cook and heat.

[@NoToPCBS]

No frills and to the point. Love it

[@donnaleveron5711]

I have some bricks too, but not enough for a rocket stove, however, I have a fireplace and I saved the oven racks from old kitchen stove. So, 4-6 bricks on either side, set a rack on top, build small fire underneath and heat water or cook.

[@user-ov2gs8tq5c]

Thank you 🙏 for helping me to learn survival cooking skills.this could come in handy if emergency cooking is necessary

[@MrIslandman59]

What do you think about this rocket stove innovation with auto fuel feeder? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJDEmX-miM6GldE

[@johnndavis7647]

Very nice. I have enough stuff laying around the back yard to build one of these. Thanks for the videro.

[@Veetribe.]

This is excellent..because you surely don't want a big fire that draws attention to your house

[@sergeantbigmac]

After doing A LOT of canning last season (Doing big jars of tomato sauce that needed to go for 45 minutes) in a BIG water bath canner that took like an hour just to get to boiling itself(!) it occurred to me that I was probably wasting a lot of $$$ in cooking gas. Also having that much water boiling indoors adds a lot of heat&humidity to a house and I live in a humid region... I can see this being super beneficial for stuff that requires long cooking times because you can burn basically whatever junk wood laying around in your yard and so its basically free to run. It would be perfect for running a water bath canner or making homemade bone broth that needs to boil for 8-10 hours but you dont want to blow up your gas bill... Anyway this is my longwinded way of saying this still has uses even when society is running smoothly.

[@hk93shooter]

i built one out of fire brick , with a u channel on the bottom,.temporarily with wet clay for sealant. had it going for a few min. my neighbor came over asked if i smelled something, like camp fires. he was standing right next to it about 3 ft away. no smoke at all. full tilt fire. then asked why its so hot over here on my patio. awesome.

[@Lisa-lj1hq]

😄🤷🏻‍♀️that’s funny!

[@JubeeBijou]

Excellent demo! Getting our supplies today to have on hand for this rocket stove.

[@brendanelson1027]

Next trip to Lowes, window screening for replacing torn screens, more pavers & some firebricks! This is so genius! Thank you for sharing this & creating such a useful, simple way to cook. Blessings from NW Florida!

[@chickenprepper236]

That is so cool , i had no idea it was that simple to make , thank you for showing us how it is done , Happy 4th ! 🇺🇸🎉🎈

[@christinekocher2585]

Thanks for making this video. I like that you told us exactly what you were using like rabbit fence and cake rack so we know what to use besides the bricks.

[@danielledunavant3146]

That is wonderful. I have several cinder blocks that I can make a taller one put aside. Have not tried it since there is no place to actually do this in an apartment complex and the blocks are way too heavy for me to cart somewhere so downsizing to bricks is a wonderful idea. Thanks!!

[@jetcyclezero8907]

Saw this and the cinder block video.Thanks

[@ashleymcdonald2239]

Thank you!! I've seen alot of rocket stove making videos, and yours is by far the easiest one to understand. Thank you for step by step instructions. 🌍✝️

[@debragoodwin3586]

Excellent video. Please do more of these, they will be life saving!

[@marcymoran6481]

Ty-this saved me from looking it up! You are so awesome with all you share!

[@NadesikoRose]

You can also make it wider if you want, it all depends on how many bricks you have on hand If you run out of branches and small sticks, you can chop larger logs down into kindling size sticks and use those…

[@heartshapedisle]

It's meant to be narrow as it uses small wood and is very hot - hence rocket stove

[@m.b.g.2235]

Excellent example of a ticket stove. We made one several years ago. We took it apart and have it stored in our outdoor shed. My cast iron dutch oven has feet on it and would work well on a rocket stove.

[@eastcoastrailroad8209]

I have other means to cook but as a backup I have built one like this and took apart and stored in my outside building. I obtained 5 or 6 FREE pallets and took apart and cut the pieces in about 15 to 16 inch pieces and stored in my building so I can take a hatchet and split into small pieces as needed. I got the bricks and pallets free amd now have a backup to cook. I estimate what I have would last me a couple months as I find more fuel to use around my area I live. Great video.

[@danielem0007]

Love it !

[@josemoreno3334]

Now i know what todo with those old bricks in my backyard. I also got some old grates from some old BBQs i use to have . Sometimes it pays to save some stuff like that. I live out in rural Arizona. Thanks for that great idea. 👍❤

[@judipepper6066]

Great vid again! You’ve been one of the calm, helpful, saving graces over the past year. Thanks for all your time and effort!💜🙋🏻 from NW GA

Awesome, I'm going to build one. I'm not sure if I can burn wood in my city or not but if times get tough they won't enforce this I hope : ) Los Angeles

[@maryschrier651]

For cooking that is easier on your back--build a 2 or 3 concrete block levels high base and then build your brick rocket stove on top.

[@lsquared6975]

Awesome 👍 thanks for sharing.

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

Wrap your paper towel around the first twigs for ease of feeding them in or make the "twig box" one layer taller! Just a thought!😊❤

Just saw a report on an explosion of a large plastics manufacturing plant in Thailand. Heads up, stock up on plastics you need.

[@knokname6466]

Why not just get two chimney blocks for the body? Already square with perfect center hole... get a third for the bottom, knock out a feeder hole, and be done with it... Happy Independence Day, America!
