- I make a 13-brick rocket stove using clay bricks and 2 salvaged grill grates, stuck together with some Georgia clay.

Lessons learned while making rocket stoves. Perhaps a chapter on scalable dimensions. Some of your projects did not change scales well. On this 13 brick stove I noticed a 1-2-3 ratio of ash bin to fireplace airflow and chimney stack?
Nice seeing the red torch still working. It’s good seeing you back on this channel. Stay safe out there and enjoy your family time. Wishing you and them another blessed week. Peace brother
Thanks for the suggestions, JW. Proportions are important.
Red torch needs a refill. :-) Still plenty of butane in the can you sent. Peace, brother.
@@GreenShortzDIY The rocket stove ratio 1-2-3 reminded me of the TMA 1-4-9 proportions from the Arthur C. Clarke / Stanley Kubrick movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Curious...

Happy New Year, and welcome back. Looks like you need to make a morter and pestle along with some wooden tools. One good rule of thumb is, "If you think you have enough firewood, double it."
I used to stack chimney blocks on top of termite blocks for a base and clean out. It worked fairly well for picnics and ice skating parties.
I built rocket stoves with 2 hole concrete construction blocks for my siblings. I showed them how to build them and use them. Then reconfigured them into flower planters. Looking forward to the book. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.
Use a cover/lid for your egg-pot to save on erergy/fuel and ensure a quicker and more stable boil would be one potentially useful comment. Happy New Year and till next time. Did I miss the train this time? :-)
Great point! Thank you. Thats a Goodwill pot and I don't have a lid for it. I'll have to find something that will work. Actually, you didn't miss the train. It was a quiet day on the tracks. Thanks for watching.
That is a very good stove actually. I have seen a few similar ones but you have more better bricks than ordinary.
One problem that I have with most rocket stoves is that they're not ergonomic. No matter what style of stove you build, raise that base. When I built my stove, I added about 14 inches or so of base, then a large concrete paver to act at the floor to build the stove on. It helped so much.
Agreed! My Rocket Stove Row sand table brought the stoves up to counter height. Much easier to work with. Thank you for the tip. Thank you for watching.
I recommend using some of that scrap iron to make a floor for your feed tray. That way the burn chamber will be the size of the chimney. It will improve the draw under the fuel.
Absolutely brilliant...I have some left over bricks to try make my own brick rocket stove
Chapter suggestion for your book: A wooden rocket stove. Take a piece of log, ~10 inches diameter. Drill two 1.5 inch holes - one from the top thru the middle, one from the side to meet with the center hole. 2 inch holes if you want a hot, fast burning stove. A burner grate or three nails around the center hole to support a pot/pan.
+ stone rocket stove . limestone, granite, etc. shape: flat or river. how to test them for breakage under heat.
+ a friend's backyard rocket stove. walk out into the back yard of a few friends and wing it in under 3 hours. show people how to think through tools and components gathering, design essentials, and use. when folks lose power and haven't yet created a backup stove outside, how can they wing it? even when there's snow on the ground!
+ maybe not a chapter, but a section covering why (and why not) you would build a certain stove in certain conditions. e.g. you're in Kyiv and you need to cook a big pot of food for everyone in your building, you want to set up a summer kitchen and use it every day, city balcony with fire restrictions but the power is out,
Great suggestions! Thank you.
To set up technique for baking, frying, deep frying, grilling and rotisserie. Could create backyard cooking on another level. Wood chips would work.
Nice clay - use it to make Indore Compost - the best Compost ever
Book sounds great!
Thank you!
Dakota Fire hole to just use mother nature with no bricks. Also, rocket stove with two attachments: oven that sits on top of and a big pot for a community meal with a pot skirt to minimize heat loss
I don't know if I have mentioned it before but if you use a pot skirt around your pot you will use 30% less wood.
If you have good clay and like working with mud, have you ever considered a project making something out of cob? Like a pizza oven or a tandoor?
Yes! I have made a cob bread oven several years ago. I have also made a pizza oven powered by a rocket stove. :-)
@@GreenShortzDIY Oh great, I'll have a look for those videos. I love cob; I once lived in a cob house
Steam generator for light's. Box trailer with rocket furnace inside towards back . Make insulated wall that allows cooking and working area. 3 Hoppers to feed wood chips into fire pits with a trough . A months worth or more. On outside walls have panels and floor to fold out and enclosed the space. Could be green house fold out! Can vent heat from trailer for other garden houses, animals also. Place cage of rocks underneath animals for radiant system.
I legitimately clicked on this video, thinking the title said "3-brick rocket stove", and I thought...THIS I GOTTA SEE! :) It would be very interesting to see how effective this stove is with one more course of bricks, and then another course, to show how much riser height influences how hot the outcoming fire is.
Ha! Thanks for spotting me 10 bricks. I'll have to experiment with more bricks. Thanks for the tip.
Great 😊
Thanks 😊
Ernie and Erica wisner rocket mass heater book
Rocket stove central heating
Rocket Mass Heater is a great book for this, but seems beyond the scope of his builds presented here.
Jason, I concur with @azmrl. The rocket stove is a component of a rocket mass heater. A very doable project for the DIYer. There are already a lot of great books and videos on this topic. I'll be sticking with stoves. Thank you for the feedback.
