yall have such a great hard working family, always working together and having fun at the same time I envy you. love your videos always gives me dreams for the future.

[@stomp1691]

You guys are awesome! You make my Friday evenings! The organic look of cob houses is way more appealing than the straight and square approach. I was so taken by the look I decided to renovate my apartment in a more organic look... Turns out that my shares in the building do not allow me to do so and they had to tell me AFTER I had removed a wall😁. The legal implications of renovating an apartment has brought about the decision to relocate to a farming town in Eastern Cape (in South Africa) where my brother and I are planing on urban homesteading while running running our business😊. Thanks for the good feels. Take care and keep up the great work!

[@debbieboring3422]

I like how you have shone the improvements on each of the rocket stove you have built.

[@wildonemeister]

The last seconds regarding the pipe and food - priceless! :-D

[@lisag65256]

I just love your family...they are all a hoot.....Love and Light

[@derwentalia]

i wish i had a family like you all when i was growing up....this is so very cool

[@khione8044]

Love how the Rocket Mass Heater turned out! The added tiles were a nice touch! Btw, loved the feeding chute comment at the end! And the, "As long as it's good food!" :p

[@StarDustBJJ]

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing these adventures.

[@jmbotb8676]

Truly inspiring, great family, i hope my son is that excited to work with his dad when he grows up. Truly beautiful family

[@jetoman5830]

I love it!Can't wait to be able to build one.

[@sheafamily3]

I look forward to seeing ya'll every week. Great family.

[@Cricket-el5ls]

Thanks U'all ! Watched this video many times ! And will likely watch many times again ! Making the lean 2 off my tiny barn house N2 a FL porch and this is just the thing 2 heat it and maybe cook some limas or soup on it on those cold days. My children ask me how I come up with these ideas U've been sharing with them? I tell them from a very nice family N AZ or NM that lets us take a peek N2 their projects while they R building them! I know sometimes I may seem over enthusiastic but I do enjoy your DIY building and etc. They give me so many ideas on things I can still do at my age! Have a great weekend!

Ooooooo my goodness… I’ve been watching your channel for lil over 6 years now …. Yay haha love bri hair n look at Bryson haha his hair is short you guys are amazing ty 4 sharing

[@anonymousprepper1463]

Should always over lay something at least 3", plus, do them 2 separate pours.. One, level to brick top, them your 3" top layer to reduce chance of cracking.

[@catalinababy6068]

Easy to understand

[@byronsowntime]

keep kikin guys love your works...would love my son over for the summer... greetings from Finland

[@ROHDESONTHEROAD]

Have you folks tried Aircrete. It's an amazing construction foam concrete method. Think it would be perfect for what you do.

[@clairea-t7045]

Thank you for sharing. Did you know that this is the first time you've commented on how well Garen's rocket stove works. Now that winter's over... It would be great if you would give an overview of the individual cob bedrooms and how well the heaters worked (or maybe didn't) and if you had a ''do over'' if you'd do some things different. What you have learned along the way....Please!!

[@mylittlehomestead]

+Margie Claire Leone Thanks for the suggestion. We will see what we can do :)

[@jflew1227]

@@mylittlehomestead do you have a set of plans still for sale? I have a set for the 6 inch plans but really like this smaller setup. Please reply. Thanks

[@geneoluminology]

Mm... great job and Great team... In cold places..l guess there can b a way to allow th pipes to give more heat

[@OSMARCANIATO]

[@infopackrat]

Did she say they used linseed oil to seal the cob? That stuff is really flammable! Use sodium silicate to seal the cob. You mix 1 part of the stuff with 3 parts water. Coat it let it dry. Do that again a couple more times and it's sealed and it's not a fire hazard.

[@donaldjohnson3265]

I've got to have a home like that. They are the next "BIG" thing, I think.

[@designdoctor247]

Can u guys talk about your rocket 🚀stoves on your podcast...tell us which one works best and give us tips and tricks u learned along the way.

[@marywest2896]

I just so enjoy your videos!!! the only complaint I have is that there isn't ENOUGH of them!!!!!!!! I really love this rocket stove shape best of all.

[@haleye1787]

I'm using you to prove to my husband that we can do this.

[@hydrolife04]

Haley E if you haven't building it all ready, you need to talk to someone that builds fireplaces. Find out what to use over a wood floor, how far you should build your firebox off the floor. I've rebuild mine once so far. I used a black stove pipe in stove with cob and wire over the pipe in the barrel. It failed horribly. So did the fire brick under my fireplace. So far I have built a fire brick riser off the stove and now I have fire brick, 3 inches concrete, fire brick, 3 inches concrete then the starting of the rocket fire box. I'm hoping that fixed it but I will do cut away inspections this coming summer .

[@bigallen18]

hydrolife04. Did it fix it?

[@robertfitzgerald8647]

Just for future reference those are fired clay bricks not fire brick. Fire brick usually refers to foundry brick that's made of some aluminum/silica mixture to withstand crazy amounts of heat for forging/smelting purposes

[@royalspin]

Great effort but wrong materials . Even if you used 1/8 inch steel pipe for the center shaft into the barrel it wouldn't last long because of the high temps ,plus using galvanized steel air ducts ? Bad idea . Otherwise it looks really good . Also please make sure and use proper safety equipment next time like gloves and eye protection . Sheet metal can cut just as deep as a razor blade and grinding brickwork send debris everywhere . You seem like nice people who are very creative and I hate seeing good people getting hurt.

[@robertfitzgerald8647]

I don't see this house burning down it's made out of dirt lol

[@ThisNarrowboatAdventure]

your cob is much wetter than when I used cob is it because where you live is hotter that you can do that with out it cracking?

[@mylittlehomestead]

+ThisNarrowboatAdventure ya, that could be.

[@PawelTylinski]

Great stove! but small suggestion: put the air inlet from outside near stove burning chamber inlet. Amount of air needed by stove is around 1 m3 for each 1 kg of wood. So if you will not provide stove with air from outside it will take air from home and will cool it down:)

[@mylittlehomestead]

+Pawel Tylinski Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have a website or youtube video that shows how to do this? Thanks :)

[@mylittlehomestead]

+Pawel Tylinski Thank-You. We will check it out :)

[@redman0901]

wow, you guys are doing it right, good job, that's is and how family should be acting and working together, self-sufficiency and more natural building. Wish more people thought like you, would be a different world we live on.

[@breezeli2524]

If I were you, I would build a little water tank to store the heat and enhance the moisture along with a valve to control the air flow to stop heat escaping when no fire is burning.

[@jelaniasim]

i love the stove but i have a question. what about plumbing? how does that work and tie in with the structure of the home? I am really interested in creating one myself but i know i will need help.

[@WannaBFree]

Excellent job on that stove.

[@SapioiT]

You could have easily compressed/rammed it, to gain more mass... maybe even using rammed earth, instead of just compressed dirt/mud.

[@gomezaddams6470]

does the barrel get hot? like could you cook on it?

[@TangoTexan]

Y'all are sooooo awesome!!! Can I come visit If'n I brings GOOD FOOD with me? Keep up the great work. I'm actually jealous...I now want to make a room just like that foe ME !

[@mylittlehomestead]

+TangoTexan lol :)

[@shackman9566]

Hate to be a party pooper but if those shiney pipe components are galvanized or zinc coated? You are aware they'll give off toxins when expose to high temperatures. Giving that even clean burning rocket stove produce creosote at start up and occasions when fuel is not perfectly seasoned or just a poor burning wood etc. Creosote will build up and if ignited that pipe that is only meant to carry warm air from a furnace or cold air return is going to gas off first and then burn out. Temperatures can exceed 1500 degrees in a chimney fire.

[@jeffokriya3389]

once the galvanize coat burns it will be ok don´t panic, it will burn in the first session.

[@wesfrazier5739]

As long as the weed don't burn up it'll be okay

[@aaronholcombe2963]

I ran wet wood drilled motor oil, tranny fluid, green wood for an Alaskan 6month down to -30 winter the inside of my barrel had the slightest of black sheen and that's abusing what should be burned. Zero creosote.

[@aaronholcombe2963]

Zinc coating offgassing is a myth.

[@franciscoseufferheld9697]

Hi from Argentina. After doing an extensive search on how best build a rocket mass heater, we have found your videos as the best instructional source available online. In particular, what we like from your way of building, is like us here in the Andes Mountains, you need to solve a problem improvising. This requires using whatever is available at hand, not necessarily exactly what the experts recommend, but things that could also work well and get the job done... I love your style..... It is an old saying ... the best is the enemy of the good. Our sons, my wife and I will build a rocket mass heater based on the one you built that was partially buried underground. It will heat a greenhouse. Many thanks for sharing your amazing life experiences. Best regards Francisco & Jeannine

[@hydrolife04]

Did that pipe chimney really work? I used one in my stove and it turned into metal that breaks like glass. I also had to dismantle my rocket mass heater and up grade the material between the floor and the bottom of the stove. I found by inspection that the heater got so hot that it had started to smolder the wood floor under my stove. These are high speed stoves and should be treated as such. I'll never get rid of my stove but I will be vigilant in keeping a eye on it and hope if anyone else has had this problem. Post what you done to fix it.

[@billcarroll1941]

Its great that you keep an accounting of the costs of building these great little houses. Have you kept any kind of accounting of the labor hours required?

[@mylittlehomestead]

+Bill Carroll no, sorry we haven't

[@timyanke9559]

I like it I have been considering a Russian fireplace this looks similar, my biggest question is what about ash?

[@joseluisgodoy7528]

Hola quería preguntarte qué es o como se llama ese material que colocas en el piso ? Aquí en argentina las estufas se hacen con una segunda cámara con entrada de aire precalentado. Que según dicen optimiza más la combustión antes de entrar a la salida vertical. Saludos

[@homermcclain7694]

I've been watching you and your kids build for a couple years here might have to see y'all work like that people still sticking together I'm old and my family's gone now like help me one of them had good hands know I'm saying and how I got a question about these nice rocket stoves and all that Howa backwoodsman but we never really felt nice stoves who's going to stay up all night putting chicken sticks and little limbs in that thing find all these videos do I see him making little bitty stove that has a very small fire box don't get me wrong I've spent my nights winter camping and making today with Justin twigs

[@rhazuul]

"As long as it's good food."

[@leslienelson7016]

I wish you had spent more time on how the fire chamber and barrel was built and connected the barrels. How many days/weeks to complete the fire the stove.

[@donaldmurray4853]

You gave some number, dimensions and slope angles, All things I have not seen in other videos. BTW, I am not finding a video on how it actually worked. Did it work well? are their things you would do to make it bettr?

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

[@compagnieweloveyou]

Hey guys, thanks a lot for your sharing. Do you think that I can build a rocket stove in my house, but there already is wood on the floor? No problem for the weight of the stove, there is rock under the house, my concern is about build a rocket stove inside and not make the floor to damaged because of the differents steps of build. It's is an old country house...

[@HolySchnikes]

Has the metal in the burn chamber held up?

[@willieclark2256]

How has the heater help up?

[@iuriicebotari3656]

Есть один вопрос: как вы будете чистить пепел в бочке? Вы бочку жестко прикрепили к трубе и замуровали в кладку!

[@peterlawrence738]

Can the entire burning chamber be covered with cob?

[@deborapettigrew1258]

You guys are nuts but I love it! So creative all of you. Do you adopt?

[@freestylefarming8881]

Love watching you guys now and then.....Nearly 5K for a rocket stove I had to build!!!! Not a chance....would use a wood stove every time! If someone else built it.....MAYBE.... I get your concept and way of thinking but my pocket book won't support that lifestyle. Just my .02!

[@TeamVampireHunterD]

I think that the rocket stove cost only 100 and the entire structure, including the stove, is 5k.

[@peterlawrence738]

It wasn’t possible to keep the camera on the fire box construction? The most important part of the structure?

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

How long did the combustion chamber last? I read somewhere that metal melts quickly?

[@mylittlehomestead]

Not sure. Still working

[@Dralvigeon]

Hallo. May I ask? Do You have some tips or manual for building a rocket stove or it's just skills and experince ? Thank you .. Sincerly Raven ... And it's very uncommon and nice piece of Art 4sure .. I mean this one

[@frowell9]

Doesn't building the bench against/touching an exterior wall allow a large fraction of its radiant heat to be radiated through the wall and out into the outside air? Wouldn't building an air gap between the bench and wall increase the heat retained inside the living space?

[@homelessjoe]

Love it!

[@rossyrossy6475]

Cómo limpiarán la chimenea????

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

Sure there are earthbag stoves! Theyre called FIRE PITS! lol

[@susanvaughn741]

I think it would burn better of you could preheat the firebox air.

[@MindCrime550]

I like the build but I think certain components will fail sooner than you'll want to dig them out. That barrel is gonna see temps over 700f with moisture from the wood and oxygen it will inevitably rust out.

[@gjh42]

People have RMHs with barrels that are still in good shape as much as 20 years later.

[@davidb5978]

Very nice, I hope you will also install a carbon monoxide detector for safety.

[@mylittlehomestead]

+David B We ran carbon monoxide detectors around all the rocket stoves and wood stoves throughout last winter and didn't have any problems. Thanks for looking out for our safety :)

[@rustyridenour2136]

What happens when you got to replace the Barrel in one to two years.you have a Major job on your hands

[@peterbeyer5755]

[@jonjeffers5153]

but this is a closed system

[@carpenterfamily6198]

Surprised the project cost over $4K Did I understand that correctly at the end ?

[@Grizz270]

for a bunch of hippies i really like your videosc... good job on your work and artistic skills . was just wonderin if the single wall pipe will be a problem in time on the outside . no matter . it will be easy to replace when the time comes although it does get close to your facia brd . code is 2 inches away from combustibles with insolated pipe but it might be diferent with the rocket stove how hot will that pipe get on the outside with a rocket stove ?

[@khione8044]

+grizz270 "For a bunch of hippies"??? Seriously? Did you have to go there with that? Don't you think that is kinda stereotyping? I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with hippies, but how you worded that was a bit offensive in my mind. This family is striving to be more eco friendly, and self-sustaining! I believe more people should do what they are doing! We only have 1 Earth to live on, more people should be more conscious of how we treat it, and help it to thrive! Take care of the Earth, and the Earth will take care of you! Call me a hippy if you want... I prefer to think of it as caring for the planet that you live on!

[@Cricket-el5ls]

+Phoenix Fire I'm N agreement with U !

[@Grizz270]

im sorry yall thought i was being derogatory . i didnt meen it that way ... what they are doing is great and their is nothin wrong with being a hippy
