I have his stainless steel model and it's magnificently built. No large company would ever allow a design to have such high quality materials or such skill in fabrication - it would be nickel-and-dimed down to a price point. This man is a true craftsman.

Planned obsolescence. If you make a product that lasts a lifetime you most likely will be approached with an offer so the buyer can cheap down everything and soak up a bunch of money. No character anymore, just money.

I have made waste iron pipe and cylinders.

Drawing (intake), draft, and exhaust (flue) are all good words to describe the movement of air through a stove.

Thank you for your information! I've been doing research randomly learning in and outs about them

Several things to add: there's to be certain height of chimney tube for max efficacy: the afterburner effect for the flammable volatile products of wood pyrolysis, which are burnt while acsending. For 100 mm diameter chimney, it's to be at least 600(!) mm height. Secondary contour as small holes in chimney additionally deliver air for more complete combustion, reducing height for 6-8%. Also, the horizontal feeding tube doesn't allow wood to drop by it's weight into the combustion area. Though these stoves are for cooking seemingly - size and flame! "Perfect" rocket stove works by heated gases only, however they may get to 1000*C = 1832*F!

I was kind of wondering why he tigged it but I guess if you're good at laying it down quickly it's probably cheaper than using wire.

Of all diy videos I've seen, your welds appear to be the absolute best. Very nice craftsmanship! Most others leave their metal parts looking like they're adhered together with chewed bubblegum.

Finally someone who put it in layman's terms that make it very easy to understand the more complex, thank you.

And that's what passion is called! On your YT channel, from listening and watching you get warmer and happier!

Thank you. Finally some one explained it properly --Nice welding by the way ..Thanks mate.

Nice explanation on stove function, I made a double burner rocket stove along with a hot plate attachment, it has a on/off flap if your cooking on one side, a air control door for flame control, and a slide door at bottom for ash also use for secondary air flow. But nice small stove and info thanks for sharing.

I think your " improvements " are interesting. Thank you for explaining why you are making them the way you do.

Great video and good explanation of the basics. I like the idea of using angle iron in order to ensure the airflow isn't blocked. I guess the same is achieved by adding a 45 degrees tube or pipe as fuel feeder, which leaves the horizontal arm free for intake of air. Another idea would be to add a small grill at the point where the three tubes meet, and underneath add a sliding pan with its own opening that collects the ash, and can be removed even when the fire is still going, and emptied. I'll know more as soon as I've tried to build one myself. Regards.

Thank you for the inspiration to finally start using my brand new welder which has been sitting in our shop for over a year now. I feel like I can make a rocket stove and may experiment with a gravity fed method for “fuel” to add itself in as required for longer cooking cycles.

I know this has been out a couple years but you are very informative and I have learned a lot from you Thank you. Also would love to have one of your hot water tanks for an off grid hot tub

Thanks for the explanation, it will help me very much when I built my own👍🏽

At minute 0:58 he says "in my mind, that's the prettiest part." I have to agree. Those are beautiful welds.

6:36 you could make a little cavity on the bottom that could serve as a secondary air intake and an ash dispenser

Being a welder myself I have to agree the first thing I noticed was the beads that you ran looks good to me

Bucking frilliant!

trying to make one atm lol i to noticed the welding good job i wish mine were like that

It looks to me like the beauty of the J style over your L style of stove is that it is self feeding. I like this video, you did a good job and provided a nice, simple explanation

Excellent description and build quality man !. Like your dumbell positioning device. My welding reminds me of one chicken crapping in a box. Thanks. Dave

Wish you were in the US so I could buy one of your stoves. Nice job!

Agreed. I’d be in for at least one as well. They look very nice, the welds look great and you clearly know what you’re doing. I’d say they’re well worth it.

Your stoves look absolutely beautiful. I would make the chimney longer but i totally understand your explanation why you dont. Your metal looks so great it almost seems a sin to paint it

Your work and explinations are perfect. For an easy add on, weld a small pipe to the top inside of the combustion chamber. This should give super hot air.

Hey man, thank you from the U.S. I got the idea to make one of these and your videos are in the top best of all the ones I've seen. Thanks from another diy guy.

Gorgeous welds!!!

Good job. Thank you from Charlotte nc jay

I Built a rocket stove from some stove-pipe and elbows, no air-chamber, just feeding sticks as they disappeared. Sounded great and the thin metal glowed red sometimes.

Great explaination of rocket stove theory. I believe that a lot of the makers of rocket stoves could benefit from watching this as a refresher course. Thanks!

Thanks for the great video. Good explanation of the combustion issues and I like your flame maintenance slot in the fuel stick tray and classy welding. Keep exploring. I make tiny light (SS or titanium foil) Aussie stoves for alpine backpacking (described in the links below). They are kind of 'rockety' but, at as little as 500g weight, they don't qualify fully because they have no heat riser (metal, ceramic, round, square or otherwise). However, they have ceramic lining in the hottest parts (to retain heat for initial combustion and protect the metal) and have 'J-style' fuel stick feeders that let the sticks feed themselves into the pyrolysis chamber that naturally regulates the amount of fuel that can be pyrolysed at any time (like yours). The steady plume of wood gas completes its combustion, in the stove box/cooktop/ heater, having passed through a bed of glowing charcoal and air mixing is aided by rapid changes of direction of gas flow within the stove box. The combustion is very clean and efficient (only~400g/hr with no significant smoke or any sparks from the flue pipe). Most of the air enters between the sticks (no separate air path as in yours) and the stove makes a quiet chuffing sound which I think results from the burn rate pulsating during the natural self regulation process. As in your stove, ash builds up at the bottom of the J-tube and restricts the burn chamber volume, but it is slow to accumulate and can be pushed out of the way into the stove box. The useful heat output is from the stove box inside the tent. I view them as regulated smoke generators that burn the smoke completely. I would be interested in your comments and if you think I have a correct understanding of the combustion process. timtinker.com/ultralight-tent-stove-part-2/ timtinker.com/larger-ultralight-tent-stove/ Tim

That's a really nice stove you have there, very unique and practical. I think you're on the money, I honestly can't think of anything to add or say that you haven't already said. Good job, mate.

Rocket stove. Intake =X, Exhaust >X. I think everything you've made pretty much fits that. I don't have a welder so mine are brick, cement, and tin. Dad often told me to utilize my resources. And that's what I do. Love the taste of meat cooked over sticks. I haven't bought gas or charcoal to cook outside with for 25 years. Peace brother.

Thank you for your explanations! It really helps. I've just tried a clay one... a disaster, but I've learn very much. Now, I can understand every subtilities of rocket stove designs ;-) Thanks.

Great way to explain how the stove works.

Great welds. If you cut into the side of your pipe where the upright pice is ten to twenty m.m. below the wood insert pipe you have a place for your ash. Also if you put it on a cinder block it will be taller and a small metal can in cinder block is easy to remove and dump.

That was the clearest, most concise explanation I've heard yet! Thank you.

I like your innovative design, and the stove size is just right. Your on the right path, no worries dude.

awesome weld!! I use to weld like that high school auto class

Wonderfully clear explanation Thanks

Nice welds

Nice small Rocket Stoves. I've built 3 Rocket Stoves so far, but mine are a lot bigger. I think a small one like you built would be great to travel with.

very nice design and weldworkk and thanks for sharing the concept/ theory of the rocketstove.

Most wood stoves exibit the aspects of a rocket stove when their first lit, especially when leaving the door slightly open as the wood starts to light off, and it starts to roar like a rocket,but its impractical to run a wood stove at that level, as the wood consumption would be very high as well as the heat output.

VERY nice build quality. You could use them as axle stands when you aren't brewing a cuppa...! when I was 11 I now realise I made basically what was a rocket stove (or furnace actually it was that imposing!) The bottom section (horizontal) was made of bricks fastened with clay, the chimney was made from a 3 foot section of steel gate post about 4 x 3 inches.That thing was scary it roared so much and was red hot at times great big blue/orange flame shooting out the top I read somewhere about the designers of high performance steam trains, they uused a secondary burning chamber for better fuel efficiency. I think some top range woodburning stoves use the same principle, recirculate and burn the smoke

Very high quality work great craftsmanship and video is very interesting and informative. Good video to watch if you’re looking to build your self a rocket stove. Thanks for sharing mate! Tim in Michigan-usa

i like the "V" fuel tray i would enlarge it to the back wall of the chimney and eventually made of steel mesh instead of solid V steel stock for better ventilation and holding the bigger embers over the air stream.

Loved the video. Learned a lot. Your notes that flash on are hilarious! And the end where the video is running in reverse... interesting... Giggles. Thank you.

Great production techniques with the text commentary! Good pace, informative! Thanks!

Hey dude. Bead looks great. Keep developing. Loved the video. But since I'm in the U.S. the fire would shoot out the bottom. You know like the water swirling opposite!!!!😅!!!!! But seriously if you could make door / push rod combo that would seal well, could that deal with ash control and help stop / prolong burn time? Would it even be worth the time involved? Good luck

Your rocket stove is using the fuel way more efficiently, that’s one reason the fuel last longer. Would it be possible to add a trap door on the bottom to dump out the ash? Love the build. Keep pushing the boundaries.

I was thinking of a rod attached to a plate that butts up against the back wall of the upright. You could just pull the rod toward the front to scrape out the ashes. I like your idea too, for a freestanding stove. I'm going to build a rocket mass heater into a cob bench though.

If I could lay a bead like that I would never ever paint over it, well done.

Those cylinder ones @3:25 look cool too!!

Beautiful tig work, mate!

THANK you Thank you, someone that LOVES TO TEACH ARE ALWAYS BLESS

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Have you got a stove primarily for heating vs cooking?

Good luck with your stove venture. Those welds looked great.

Good video. Good explanation. I like your design too, simple and efficient looking.

Really clear video on how they are so effective.

Maybe expand on the principles of Gasification primary and secondary burners and why a highly insulated (2nd burner with added air feed) high temp combustion chamber for the wood gas enable complete combustion (heat generation) of the wood stock. ie Highly Efficient.

Great explanation and I agree, the welds were Class AA+!!

Thank you for that clear explanation.

Love watching all your videos 👍 Think you could make a lightweight foldable or interlocking titanium rocket stove for hikers?

Beautiful welds! TIG I assume? Very honest video, interesting design points

Hi there. Is there a reason not to have the fuel input leaning at 45 degrees to allow a bit of self feeding? Assuming a separate channel for air flow.

Beautiful welds, not just uniform but tight. looks like a machine welded seam

Hold on, what is most magical are those welds, wow wee - how beautiful! Thumbs up on those superior welds.

I want a "U" shape so it can have a verticle feed and firr on one side, chimmey on other side. (Middle section should not be the main burning chamber.) Clean ash out with shop vac.

Love the subtitles that finish the sentences you don't. If you could make an app that did that in live conversation, you would put a bunch of therapists out of work!

You're giving away you secrets! Great video.

Hi great video, if you angle you fuel intake downwards the wood will be gravity fed that way you can carry on with something else.

@derekrobbins6735

5 жыл бұрын

Look at the fuel intake, it is already angled downwards. That will help but a larger and steeper fuel intake would keep the fire burning for longer. The problem with the ash build up would however be bigger, but maybe a sump in -built would help?

Wow - That weld bead at the beginning of the video looks awesome. Quality like that = long lasting rocket stove.

great looking tig welds.

Wow that is some pretty welding!

Mate great work wish you could make a small home heater same as gstove i reckon you would have plenty of interest.

Wow very impresive and also can be improved!! Thanks for sharing

This was entertaining mainly because you seem like such a great chap and all your videos are good. A bit awkward though.

Thank you for the info it help a lot and good info on how it works.

We'll done, cheers !

Best video I have seen on a rocket stove! Very imfroming

What welder do you use? I'm curious.

Your video is the best I’ve seen so far that explains how a rocket stove works. Does having the feed on an angle for gravity feed improve it?

wow, This is the best video I have seen explaining rocket stoves. Thank You!

Thank you for explaining how the rocket stove works...n the reason behind the fire 🔥 force

Thanks to your video my head has now more knowledge!

What setup are you using for welding? Gas, torch type, tungsten? (I'm assuming it's TIG)

First time I hear about the rate the wood burns.. I was wondering about that. Good video.. The written pop up comments are funny. Ghadai mite!!!!

Excellent presentation

Maybe cut a square hole underneath and add a slide out tray to dump ash out occasionally. Could use 2 bits of small L bracket as guides and a bit of 2 mil steel as the tray.

I like it that your experimenting with different design ideas. A purist to me would still be driving a model T, though i would like to own one. Im wanting to try a rocket stove heater but with all the "purists " design my floor would cave in from the weight and with it all the other stuff "wink" i have in that room.

Thanks for the video...how much? Or can you send me the dimensions? I don't own many tools and don't know how to weld

Wonderful explanation!! Now I've got it!! Thanks a lot!!!

Brilliant video thanks for sharing and teaching me new skills

Love your channel! First time posting!Have you tried a wooden rocket stove inside a rocket stove! Game changer!

i light mine and walk away for 1hr !! wood port at 50 degrees, would slide in automatic, (gravity) air intake below the wood intake.. grid added, acts as a choke, wood lasts 30% longer

Brilliant mate..... really good explanation. thanks

I’m ready I want one

Beautiful welding.

I think you are through the apprentice phase Sir. Others have noticed your welding skill as have I. Other people ask whether you sell these as well. I Sir wish I had plans and drawings so I may be able to attempt to duplicate those welds myself. I don't mind having to grind some I can't see and braille welding is the only option. Thank you.
