Rocket Stove | Coffee Maker for the Shop

After wanting to design a Rocket Stove for myself, I got the opportunity to make one for the Millerwelds WIYW (What's in Your Weekend) Series! The design might look a bit complex at first, but once you see how it goes together, I think you'll agree it is fairly straight forward...
This is a great exercise for people who are learning to weld or who are looking for a fun weekend project! For other projects, checkout www.millerwelds.com/industrie...
The premise behind a rocket stove is that the chimney provides a draft that brings in unobstructed fresh air directly to the combustion chamber. Although this project is a little bit tongue-in-cheek as the shop coffee maker, the final stove actually worked really well!
Thank you to Miller Electric and Millerwelds.com for providing me with the PPE I used in this video. It is very important to be safe while welding and to wear the appropriate safety gear. (Please check out the links below as it will show your support!)

This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first one lasted 6 years. It worked beautifully until the day it didn't. It was hard to go back to the drip coffee for a couple of days while I waited on my Keurig to get here. There is a huge difference in the taste. Keurig makes a really good cup of coffee. This new one is a little different from my old one. I find putting the water filter in was easier than on the old one. Attaching the water reservoir was also a little different but once I figured it out, it too was easier. This new one has the auto off feature but is not programmable like the old one. Only three cup sizes instead of four. The odd thing for me was how much lighter in weight this one is compared to my old one. More plastic and much less metal in the construction of this one. The price is so much less than the original Keurig that I bought and the coffee tastes the same so all in all I am satisfied.

my new favorite quote: "The best thing about working with steel is how fast the glue dries"

[@justinbressette1286]

I laughed quite hard at this as well, my thought was, you don't want to accidentally put your hand down on that glue line though. Might hurt alittle more then hot glue lol.

[@billyjones9045]

Is there an alternative to welding tho? Like a chemical /not just stitching / screwing etc.

Very clever use of square tube, looks like a good way of getting a perfect radius on the edges without needing an industrial metal brake.

[@Grunblau]

Yup, exactly!

[@TheRealStructurer]

I never work with metal, but really like your magnetic holders 👍🏼 And not to mention all the great creations you share with that old days voice of a tv presenter. Great stuff!

[@Remowylliams]

Actually reminds me of old 1950's military technical instruction film narrator. It was fun and great video.

[@Hawk7886]

Your voice and cadence reminds me so much of trade school training video presenters, it's awesome. If you kept the playback speed normal throughout the entire video and added some VHS sound and visual effects I think it would be indistinguishable.

[@Grunblau]

I’ll add a blue screen and a PLAY > at the beginning next time!

[@Rouverius]

Functional and beautiful. Also, it somehow has a Star Trek feel to it. Like, I imagine Kirk using on a camping trip.

Flat out excellent-thank you very much for sharing your design in a top-notch video (as usual). There is no shortage of rocket stove plans on the internet so I would have thought it impossible to come up with one that stands out-but you have done so. Achieving functionality, aesthetic, and (clever) constructability all in one design really puts your design in a class of its own-well done and thanks for sharing!
