Super easy DIY rocket stove/oven!

[@jepolch]

That's the best design for a rocket stove I've seen after watching many videos on KZbin. I would just add another Besser block - or as we say in the US cinder block - on top so the burners will be at a height that allows you to stand at the stove. Thanks!

[@winterwarriorelite77]

Thank you for showing us how to make our own rocket stove, awesome sharing!!

[@chrisdiane8429]

Last February we were with no heat no electric could not cook couldn't flush a toilet no water total ice around the house couldn't even go outside we have a generator this time now we have a rocket stove thanks to you

[@chrisdiane8429]

I would love to see the other design that you made a two burner I would love to see it where do I go to see it

[@chrisdiane8429]

I live in Kempner Texas I'm originally from Colorado

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

I like this simple design! I've made some very similar. One thing I learned was the vertical out pipe should be 3 times the size of the intake hole so 1-2 more bricks on tops would actually make this a true "Rocket" stove and a lot less smoke and soot. I really like that you mortared it together!

[@rase575]

Thank you beautiful family. God bless you for teaching us how to survive if we run of fuel.

[@drleo6409]

Great Daddy daughter team. You got it done.

[@thegodream]

Definitely the best rocket stove design on youtube. Also like that you mortared the blocks to make it a more solid and permanent. Loved it! Thank you for sharing!

that looks like a joshua tree! native to my home in the southwest usa. we love rocket stoves out here.

[@sanchopanza2024]

I have been searching for the best rocket stove to build my own, and I think your model is the best! Thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@sapulpaorganics5402]

Nice video and stove, but I clicked on here to see your rocket stove/oven?????.....disappointed you don't actually show an oven But you still get a thumbs up!!!!!! :o)

[@rubygray7749]

Yes, nomenclature problems here. A stove is not an oven. A spirit level is not a meter. Etc

[@lizzierose007]

Fantastic! Thank you!

This is a GREAT example of a Rocket Stove. I like even more, that you not only have 2 independent stoves, but the chisling-out of material to anchor down that metal grate is freakin' brilliant! Cheers from the U.S.!

[@tinasearcy4684]

Great job making it your own

[@TinkerPrepper]

Great project!

[@joeyfragile2330]

Concrete blocks are made from different compositions of stone gravel/chippings with slight variations in the ratios of cement and other bonding agents during the mixing and drying processes, in different places around the world. Additionally the small pieces of stone will "pop" and explode, but at different temps depending on the type of stone those chippings are from. So most comments here are totally correct from different points of view: in one place where the fire doesn't get too hot and the concrete block is made up of some igneous or metamorphic rock gravel, a person might use one of these for years with little trouble. In another place someone might build one of these, esp in an area where there is sedimentary rock gravel used in the blocks, and face a real risk of hot stone pieces exploding off as the stove gets up to temp. It's worth doing all you can to check all the materials you plan to use for something like this, as thoroughly as possible, unless you happen to be a slightly masochistic adrenalin junkie, in which case build it from anything you like, half empty gas canisters maybe, just to see what happens.

[@tamtamtamatim.4860]

Cool nice idea

[@mikehoward8201]

I had a trash burner made from concrete blocks that lasted 15 years, but it eventually came apart due to heating and the fact that it was porous. Never had any problem of blocks exploding! But I view this project as something to build when I need it, not something to build and use frequently. Just have to have the materials for it stored.

[@aztecwarrior1421]

How do you keep them from explosing?

Beautiful stove

[@powellcpr8747]

That is really close to that wood deck, it should be six feet back minimum. I say this as a career Firefighter/Paramedic for 15 years, that is a huge fire hazard. Remember radiant heat will dry out the wood/deck and catch fire. I like the idea though, good job.

[@yasminsahar6326]

Waao good amazing work

[@SusanHwe]

Thank you for showing to do this in a simple and easy to understand procedure.

[@roymadison5686]

For those who are concerned with the block "exploding". When a block building catches fire the combustables burn leaving the block standing. Call your local fire precient and ask about exploding block. They will tell you it is not a concern. Under intense heat they can crack and crumble. If the stove begins to crack, just replace the block with a two minute fix. Done ... solved

[@hectorperez7655]

if you raise the grill pipe 3/4 of an each wont you get a better air flow ?

[@cocobonner9727]

Mind you don't burn down your deck! Great stove.

[@rasputim2007]

Thanks a lot! Gonna try it.

[@Jammy._.]

the stove looks a littl e short would it not be better to have it a little taller maybe half a block or full block?

[@sailingyemaya9781]

Nice rocket stove

[@cornbread1209]

My experience with using cinder block is that they crack crumble over time after heating to over an estimated 1,600 Farenheit. In the short term cinder block is cheap and effective.

[@nellayllanes3545]

Thank you !! Just perfect 👌

[@jafinch78]

Is "spirit meter" Australian or New Zealand for "level"? I've built and am building with salvaged materials and have with clay to I dug up in the wild. Have a KZbin video that isn't so great regarding if interested and a new similar design that I am working on that I haven't documented yet... though will. Juggling a few projects. Hope all is well down that way! Thanks for sharing!

The exploding blocks can take you out. Try another material other than cement /concrete. No Joke , the shards blow as far as 15 feet instantly. Been there ,done that.

[@henryottis295]

I've been hearing that on several video comment pages. Good to know. Wanted to build one as I already have the block, but now I'm not so sure.....

[@gabhandebrun1871]

Use fire bricks that’s what there made for other then that not a bad idea. Just use fire bricks just as simple. Or heat resistant slate and the jobs a gudn 👍

[@ihavequestionsaboutthings6167]

Fucking creep.

[@josephpayne4591]

I see a lot of you don't know that concrete can explode under high heat. Call your local fire dept.or a brick company and ask. That's why they make high-temperature bricks. All restaurants with brick ovens use high temp bricks. You will never pass inspection if you use concrete blocks.

[@TinkerPrepper]

The bricks may explode if to much moisture is trapped within the brick, but that would be highly unlikely due to the slow heating of the bricks

[@nellayllanes3545]

Will explode if you cook a cow 🐮

[@powellcpr8747]

Not true, if this was out in the rain and you tried it a few days later it could blow up, you are right about calling the fire department, however, I am a career Firefighter/Paramedic and know this can and will happen. Google it if you don't believe me.

[@kelleyotto4714]

You do know these block are used in Firewalls Right?. Joseph

[@awkward-stranger]

Best rocket stove ever!!!

[@ihavequestionsaboutthings6167]

How long has it lasted, if you don't mind me asking? Considering making one but getting mixed opinions on using cinderblock.

[@awkward-stranger]

@@ihavequestionsaboutthings6167 I have not had it long (2 weeks) but works very well. As far as cinder blocks exploding ,Maybe at higher temps than this can produce. No problems for me.

This is great. Have blocks, will build. Don’t pay any mind to people who tell you that it will explode. Been using one for years no problem.👍

[@johnmarkhatfield]

there are specific dimensions a rocket stove needs to be to create the venturi effect. if designed correctly and loaded correctly, it should burn at a very high temp. if not, it's just a tiny chiminea, which won't get to high temps. rocket stoves should be made of insulative material so it gets up to temp quick and is super efficient. use chimney fire bricks with refractory cement for a store bought rocket stove, use clay, sand, straw, and horse manure for a lo-tech one. natural materials are not standard from location to location and needs to be experimented with before going all in.

[@fannybuster]

You might want to glaze the blocks with portland cement so the blocks can't absorb water and explode when heated.

[@hogue3666]

Awesome thoughts here. Thank you. Quick question: If you didn't use the paver stone in the middle to separate the two chambers, couldn't you just light a big fire under the whole thing and use longer logs? Maybe having two separate cylinders helps keep things under control?

[@MrRedtaco11]
