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.millerweld...
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!)

my new favorite quote: "The best thing about working with steel is how fast the glue dries"
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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I personally prefer a wood welding
@@billyjones9045 and what wood you weld? :D

This is my second Keurig Coffee Brewer. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBrV-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.
I don't know what impresses me more: your simple, yet ingenious designs; your meticulous skills in all manner of materials; your perfect voice overs; or your extremely polished videos. Well done, sir! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your comment!
@@Grunblau Any chance that you’d be willing to sell plans? I bought one of your foundry years ago but lost it. I’d love to buy a PDF.
Agreed, so classy!
@@Grunblau i would like to acquire these rocket stove plans also. Please contact me or comment how and how mych they would be. Thank you
@@Grunblau honestly your voice overs are so perfect that for 3 videos straight I thought it was a text-to-speech voice!
So smooth!
Happy that UA-cam featured your channel. Nice video. True engineering for such simple thing. Impressed so much.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful result. Fantastic work as always, Brian!
I'm going to have some words with you soon sir if you don't stop watching UA-cam and continue work on the Kawa. 🤣 I keep finding you every where Ronald, very pleasing to see you! All the best!
I soaked my metal pieces in vinegar prior to cutting to remove the mill scale. Like you, I'm going to let it patina for a natural look. Thank you for sharing.
I always love your design aesthetics. Your attention to detail and meticulous work ethic
Thank you, that’s nice to hear!
@@Grunblau absolutely! I know many are always excited to see a new video from you
Hear hear!
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!
Actually reminds me of old 1950's military technical instruction film narrator. It was fun and great video.
Warm coffee,, whats that,, 🤨???
Cheers and thank for sharing B.O,, 🍻😎👍!
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.
Yup, exactly!
Wonderful video as always. Your voice sounds exactly like a Canadian television presenter from a 1970’s documentary on industrial design in 1930’s Ireland. I could listen to it for days 🥰
First time ive seen someone doing stop start weld technique to prevent cooking the steel, nice work
Nice to see you back. Love the vid. Love your pot and mug.
Functional and beautiful.
Also, it somehow has a Star Trek feel to it. Like, I imagine Kirk using on a camping trip.
Could be because I have been binging Next Generation for the last couple months?
Normally the last video I would ever watch would be yet another rocket stove build, until I noticed this one is from Brian!
I hadn’t realized they had gotten so popular until I was half way into the build! Oh well, at least it is a different take.
Please keep posting. Nice to watch someone with a flare for good design.
Thank you!
One of the best UA-cam content creators, bar none.
I'm going to steal that quote: " The best part about working with steel is how fast the glue dries."
Any time I go back to wood working, I get antsy…
Yeah thats getting added to the repertoire here too
Sir, I have subbed and 'Liked' your Rocket Stove video. Your presentation, with easy to watch, clear and 'instructional' overtones was a delight to watch. The absence of loud endless electric music is a gift as so many youtube video's today seem to demand loud stomping noises with absolutely no context, explanation or helpful narrative. Your video Brian, shows how a good video is put together. I tip my cap sir.
Thank you. I hope you find some of my other videos! I don’t post often so they are easy to miss. I call the music genre “underwater-electronic-screaming babies” and I am not sure why it became a thing. I suspect it had something to do with Casey Neistat as a lot of UA-cam was influenced by his great documentaries. Welcome to the channel!
Casey managed to teach a lot of us how things should be done.
Great you´re back doin´ your thang again!!!!!!
I have seen hundreds of these DIY rocket stove jobs many of them are bloody fantastic, but this one is just amazing, such accurate detailed work, and awsome design, looks like it was done with a CNC machine, - my hat off to you sir, - had to subscribe.
Thank you and welcome! Be sure to check out the deck chair if you are interested in how else you can go directly from the computer to steel! It isn’t CNC milling, but I used laser cut patterns to aid a hand held plasma.
That's the most futuristic
rocket stove I've ever seen ! It could be scaled up to do some real cooking !
Finally someone who doesn't use a grinder to cut everything out!!!
Yeah, I think a lot of people buy a welder and a grinder…. For like $20 you can get a reciprocating saw and a metal cutting blade. I bought my saw fully intending to use it for wood, but it hasn’t left the metal shop.,,
Beautiful work! Pleasure to watch you create ❤
Thank you!
Honestly even a rocket stove is turned into a piece of art if it's made by you.
Totally reminds me of an old two-stroke crankcase ports!
Great work and thanks!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀
That is a great build and you have the best training voice out there God bless
Love the retro style of narration !!!!!!!!!!
That is a work of art my friend. An optional fuel source if you can find a restaurant supply is bamboo chop sticks. They work great and come with a paper wrapper.
Huh, that’s hilarious! Thanks
Good looking design makes such a difference!
Thank you!
Awesome.. The truly rocketlike concept was just on point. BTW. I love your workspace and equip. Much love from Nigeria.
Beautiful yet simple design.......Meticulously done......Awesome job......Good on you
Slickest looking version yet. Nice work.
Always kept an eye on your channel over the years hoping that you'd come back. Thank you for taking the time to film once again. Excellent
You know there is like 4 other videos since I came back, right?
@@Grunblau
Yea it started with the kayak then the storage was super cool and practical but definitely next level mechanical engineering patterning which we see in this video. After that was some casting which brought me to the channel originally. I missed the koi project but I see the very high level water jet cut outs which are near impossible to replicate without the insanely expensive equipment that you have. Very cool to see high level professional preparation, design and manufacturing process. Thanks again
Sounds like you are up to date! 👍 I paid to have the Waterjet cut… “Better to know someone that has a WJ than to own one!”
I thoroughly enjoyed this splendid video.
I am glad you found it!
Glad to see you making more frequent content. Your stuff is A++.
Thanks! With the new algorithm, fewer and fewer actually see my content (1/4 of the #s before the change). So I am trying to continue to make it a priority.
I’d like to get back to once a month, ideally…
Awesome project
Finally a truly useful shop project, I hate cold coffee when I'm working. Job well done.
Cred că nu scoate fum. Forma E buna. Eficienta maxima. Bravoooooo. Top 1 de pe tot netul la arderea racheta. Și gustul preparatelor este superior.
I wish you'd post more videos, hands down the best content on youtube, the merge of intellect and design is extraordinary
Thanks! I wish I could post more too! I have quite a few in process that are getting close though!
Really nice. Good things often take a bit of effort. Thanks for the post.
I'm so glad you're back. Your projects are so well designed and executed.
Know that’s a classy rocket stove excellent job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks!
Nicely done. I love rocket stoves but this is beyond my expertise. But my father would have loved how far soldering has come. I remember watching as he used flux and solder wire and a crude iron. That was many years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the nice comment!
Always a good day for a Brian Oltrogge video! ^_^
Welded the chimney up. Then I welded the bottom half. None of those match. Gonna be some thiccc welds to make this work. Really appreciate your design. I new to welding
It's been a fun project 😂
Slice through the seam on the side that is too large with a cut off disk. This should get you closer! Also remember that the pieces are wedge shaped. You might be able to ‘slip’ one against the other and have it match up. Then just grind the excess off the ‘lips’. Good luck!
A tutorial worthy of an academy award. Thank you Sir.
Easily earned my sub. Time to go watch the back catalog.
Ha! Thanks and welcome! Hope you enjoy!
The way the world is changing and energy and fuel prices are currently through the roof, this mini-rocket stove design “which is by far the best design I’ve ever seen” would sell like hot cakes! I’d personally buy several for myself and family. Let me know if you ever start selling these, thanks.
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!
I love how you're able to use this stove indoors!
Beautiful design 👌
Thanks!
That's really lovely. I wish I could buy one of this quality.
Always a great day when I see a new video from you in my feed. Such a cool design and great video.
Thank you!
I am very happy about your program I wish you the courage and longevity to carry on a project like this
I love your design aesthetic.. You encourage me Sir!
The synchronization of the music to the tack welds at 11:07. Mmmmwwwwaaahhhhh.
I made pretty much the same thing . I was stuck out in the cold trying to repair my truck after my house burned down . so I cooked everything on that thing and of course coffee .. I wrapped copper tubing around the chimney Part. have water dripping 50 tubing then going up to an insulated tank so it works as a hot water heater to . then I went ahead and wired it then Mixed vermiculite with concrete and covered it . then I started adding on and I built the heat riser for the pipe inside it that it's hot and then a fan blows so it works of the heater to .
Wow! Great
I like your style Brian
Hey, Thanks!
That's badass love it. Just built a rocket batch stove heater with attached bench seat. Keeps a 600sqft room at 70 all night long in 27 degree weather. Never haven to get up one time to stoke it are feed it. Works great now I'm going to have to try this.
That sounds awesome! I’d want to design something that uses pellets next time…
You're a Rocket... man, I just love watching you work, it's inspiring.
Thank you!
Nice to see a non traditional looking rocket stove. Love the looks!
That’s a piece of art! Well designed and expertly crafted. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
One of the best channels online. Love it.
Thank you!
Well done Brian, your a very gifted craftsman.
Thank you, Mr. Anderson!
Solving the problems that we didn't even know we had. Amazing work man!
You got a great voice for this, it's almost as if i were watching a documentary..."we see here the welder at home in his natural habitat" haha. Good job on the video
Ha! Thanks
Functional Art...simply the best!
Your welding hood is dope. I always talk about buying it but never pull the trigger.
The view screen is wonderful on the helmet! I am not sure why you would need that much peripheral view, but it sure nice to have! Thanks
That saw is sick
Just spoted it last night. Great work will buy plan got to make one thanks.
Have fun! Good luck with your build!
This is the most impressive rocket stove design ever. I am super impressed! So satisfying to watch your design and craftsmanship. This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I'm subscribed at first sight.
Thanks and welcome!
Great video and narration! Amazing!
Nice idea man!
That is the nicest rocket stove I’ve ever seen
Thank you!
Awesome creation sir! 👌🏼
Great video! But i'm really in awe with those cool magnets!
Absolutely! I think we sold them out on Amazon…
@@Grunblau i´m based in Europe. Did you make those yourself?
Nope. The link is in the description ^
Awesome design and a great video! (The intro almost had me thinking I clicked on a This Old Tony video)
Beautiful as usual.
What a genius way to easily produce bent pieces!
Beautiful design, thanks for showing the options box tube gives. Or a plate sheering machine and a brake. You can put your welding machine a little higher while keeping the same wire speed. When pushing the welds hold your pistol at a shallower angle, so that more of the wire ends up at the front edge of the puddle.
Thanks for the info! I know I forgot to turn the machine up again after doing the hinge or the expanded metal. I’ll play with the approach angle more!
What a Brilliant Design :)
Thanks!
Beautiful build, and nice coffee pot as well
Another beautiful episode great job
Love how that cooking grate worked out! Amazing build as always!
Pretty satisfying when you find a way to get it symmetrical! Thanks…
This is the best by far looking extremely great rocket stove. Great workmanship.
You sir are a master craftsmen in every sense of the word.
You also have great taste in coffee.
If you ever need an apprentice/ volunteer,
I would be more than willing to help.
Always great videos. Happy to wait the time it takes for you to put them together. Quality trumps quantity. Keep it up. 👍🏻
Now THIS is a rocket stove like no other
This must be the first "Pretty" rocket stove design I've seen. Very nice.
It looks almost an ideal welding project for me to do with my nephew. The kid can weld OK, but like most young teens, he's a bit impatient when it comes to accurately cutting and shaping the pieces before making sparks. :D
I think so. Miller asked me to do a project that weekend warriors could do in a weekend. Seems like a nice project with a fun pay off at the end!
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your talents.
Elegant simplicity = beauty
Thank you!
Amazing and clever design, i love it. Also i would never imagined to use a squared tubing to make angled plates, thats a good option when you dont have press brake.
This is originally why I started doing it 👍
Brilliant as usual
This video introduced me to the moka pot. My French press is now a milk frother.
I made the chimney. I'm new to welding. It's been two attempts and It's been quite the challenge. I'll cut out the body tomorrow 😃
Just keep after it! Tack as much as you can. Then go back and weld when it looks good. No shame in cutting tacks and repositioning! Have fun!
I love the look of your stove. Really nice 👍
Ha! Thank you. Someone here was wondering what you would think of it!
Beautiful! Such a steady build!
Another great piece. If you do another one you could tig it so you keep the welded look but the weld will be flat.
I am trying to get a welder guy that builds F1 race car engines to give me some pointers on TIG. I tried it a few times and love it!
@@Grunblau it’s easy once you get the hang of it. I’m sure you will catch on quickly. I don’t weld anymore I’m a CWI now. So I just inspect the welds now. I do miss welding though.
Your talent is amazing and inspiring as always, Brian! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us! Always feel fortunate to get to watch your videos!
