How to make Charcoal Indoor in a Rocket Stove

[@radicaldanzero]

Very nice stove and charcoal. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@dadgad68]

Great idea. I like the idea of doing inside while heating your shop. Thanks for sharing.

[@sergiobohorquez4468]

Is not concrete. Is a mix of perlite, fire clay, sand and portland cement in relation 7:1:1:1. Mix very well add water and pour inside the the metal drum. I did make a mold of wood to make the form; when the mix was solid just burn the wood mold. Wear dust mask when mix the perlite. Thank you.

[@JefftheDonkeyGuy]

This is really a useful video. Thank you for making it. To you have a video anywhere of making the stove?

[@Only_Cans_101]

Great job, im in the process of making one, but quite different, it will be my 1st time. Thankyou.

[@yayahelwa484]

Great job. I also like your rocket stove that I didn't see much of it. I wish you can show me how you made it. Thanks.

[@NOBOX7]

very cool thanks for posting your ideas

[@sergiobohorquez4468]

I just copy the idea from someone else, but one thing I can assure you, it is very efficient, because use own heat from the sin gasses to completed the pyrolysis process. Thank you.

greetings from cancun!

Good video thanks I plan to make charcaol with a rocket stove in the summer

[@karldepauw8924]

nicely done ,great way to make charcoal

[@ponesty]

Good job, Love the concept.

[@clydegray9714]

Nice the real cook

[@mariachavez4718]

Hi, How long do you cook the wood charcoal for? Thank You 🙏 90 minute cooking?

[@potteryworks]

Great video but can you show the inside construction of the stove. Concrete in the bottom? I would like some boichar with mine.....

[@dhanjalsky]

Hello Sergio - I like your system and approach - it is well done. I have few questions - I know I have come in at a late stage - I hope you can still answer them. 1. Your basic rocket stove has a much shorter inner riser or chimney than most and also mine - I have it at 150mm diameter and about 800mm high - Does not your exhaust smoke? Normally this height would not produce enough draw for the fire to burn as well as yours. From the fire below it seemed as though the stove was already hot before adding the wood or is there a secondary fuel used and later switched out, other than the gasses from the charcoal? 2. The amount of used fuel you show is small - did you add any more later? 3. The volume of charcoal you produced was about 50% of the wood you had. Does that not show that the temperature inside the stove and the 'charcoal tin' was much higher than even 700C? I am puzzled by this as it would suggest that the amount of wood you showed was too much! Your answers will be very welcome and help in tests I am doing at present. Thanks davinder

[@michaelegan51]

Impresionante: impressive. Is that your own design? The bucket inside is basically what's called a retort according to biochar people. Do you know about biochar? Your stove is very efficient. thank you

[@lukedriscoll7748]

Thanks for this, I am wondering if your charcoal method could be used to pyrolyse food waste or even feces into biochar. Could you give it a try, maybe with a tube in the pyrolysis chamber instead of just a hole?

[@vientosolar9]

Beatiful fire, hipnótico to see it

[@mirkononimporta4364]

Hi sergio..very interest and nice system...but can you post an schematichs to te stove and measure? Compliments.

[@thedaresmith]

nice job I haven't one question though what it the installation mass at the bottom made out of?

[@Slangevar333]

It looks to be that he installed cast-able refractory cement for the fire box mouth

[@aktrapper6126]

Very well done, I noticed you had a different lid for the rocket stove that had a large circular hole in it. Is that for putting a large pot through the lid and to sit on the grill for cooking or perhaps to boil water?

[@mikha007]

also redirect the smoke from the 1/2" hole back to the fire tube...it will help to superheat the rocket burner and reduce cooking time

[@mikha007]

between the inner liner and the outside liner you need to add perlite or volcanic material as an insulator to men more heat on the inside

[@tordenoglynthorbjrnerlands7606]

very good

[@coolobuttface]

that's an awesome stove. can you make me one?

[@Kameradschaft]

Well done!

[@mmoellerdeoliveira]

hi i can see it draes pretty well. I am trying to come up with a sollution that can cook while making char. Do yo uhave any ideas?

[@chrisharcoan]

put saucepans or frying pan on top of lid to get hot....... make up an oven to go on top of lid

[@sergiobohorquez4468]

Yes you can heat something while make charcoal. I was thinking to put a coil around, inside the Rocket Stove, to heat water, I found that while making the charcoal the heat produce is waste. The heat produce by the process is very intense that melt the high temperature paint I used over the rocket stove. Thank you.

[@DocKnight00]

Sergio Bohorquez or you could create electricity like the BioLite stove.

[@mmoellerdeoliveira]

I am thinking an oven inside the buring chamber full of wood. The wood, while being cooked, will release the fumes through some holes that lead back to the burning chamber. The problem, maybe would be the regulatione of fresh air (secondary air intake) along the chamber so the excess smoke may reburnr to a clean burn. Thats just idea yet. I know I´ve got to try, and try...

[@NOBOX7]

+Maurício Möller de Oliveira YES put wood in a small can then place a hole in the can the nplace the can in a charcoal fire with the hole facing down this will burn the smoke

[@cubaniton74]

Hello, can you please tell me if you used a special type of cement or concrete inside the rocket stove, I would like to make one for an outside oven, thank you.

[@cubaniton74]

Looking at past comments I noticed that someone had previously asked you the same question and this was your answer, thank you: "Is not concrete. Is a mix of perlite, fire clay, sand and portland cement in relation 7:1:1:1. Mix very well add water and pour inside the the metal drum. I did make a mold of wood to make the form; when the mix was solid just burn the wood mold. Wear dust mask when mix the perlite. Thank you"

[@c.t9-180]

very nice

[@kevinjones4457]

thanx for video

[@WorshipTheSavior]

I'm just starting to look into doing this as well, but I've heard that the hot fire will destroy a steel drum or pail after 10 or so runs of charcoal. How many batches have you found that you can do with that setup before the bucket was burnt through?

[@antonhelsgaun]

+David Wiebe i know this migth not be the best thing, but any clay really will do, then mix it with water into a very wet clay, then paint the bucket in it, it makes it last alot longer

[@WorshipTheSavior]

+Anton Helsgaun That's an interesting idea... kind of putting a protective coating on it I guess. I'll remember that and try it out! Thanks!

[@pannirbr]

The bio oil can be easily recovered using air cooling , we can help for this deseignin

[@poornachandiran.s3674]

Nice uncle

[@pannirbr]

waste biomass can be made into fuel chandran need to start some projects , make chacoal tene mix with errmutai sundried fuel ,cleanburing

[@highdesertsunset3011]

good setup

[@naanaa1111]

What can you use the charcoal you put in the bag at end?

[@lisabissett9940]

Also called biochar, google it for garden uses.

[@BananaZen7]

good design

[@xman870096]

I'm confused, don't you use as much wood if not more, to make the charcoal??? I don't see the advantage...Please explain.

[@Slangevar333]

He was making Hardwood into charcoal, he was using softwood for firing. softwood does not make good dense charcoal.

[@PrairieProspecting]

charcoal burns 200 degrees hotter then wood and is smoke free once up to temp

[@jrb6434]

Thank you.

[@SV_Try_Magic]

why would you risk starting a fire in your shop to do that indoors?

[@richarddunn9697]

Awesome

[@asheswake2229]

schematics or at least a design of the rocket stove in fair detail :) gd job

[@coolobuttface]

I wish I had sickle saw

[@MRaZZeee]

A "Circular" saw, not a pop-sickle . LMAO

[@coolobuttface]

yeh I realized that. Sorry about that. You make amazing stoves BTW ;)

[@MRaZZeee]

You smoke rocks ? Cause I don't make no stoves lol .

[@JoeFeser]

Those cans of gas scare me.

[@culllaticiqsu83]

I made it by myself. I used woodprix scripts for that.

[@dougalexander7204]

Thank you.
