I was going to make the same comment. Pine and cedar are somewhat similar, but white pine definitely burns hotter and faster. And even at that, we have no idea what the moisture content of each log was. I still think the general conclusion that the Swedish torch makes a bigger fire is still valid, but you're right - it would have been better to use two adjacent logs from the same tree.

Different Woods & Air Holes in a Torch Stove! 🤬 What The Fruit!

Swedish torch needs no hole, just wood stick inside to prevent it from burning in the bottom. The rocket stove version needs to have some tinder added to the chimney part to start the log catching fire on the inside. reality is that very few will carry a 2 inch forstner bit and the drill to go with it. If done by hand, the energy and water spent making the effort will deplete you of your calories asap. Swedish torch can be made from 1 piece of log split or smaller rounds of timber side by side. You wil have your hot coffee after you had your meal before you even completed drilling a rocket stove by hand...Conserving energy and strength is at a premium when in survival mode.

Less work, faster return on investment, as you said a bundle of branches works too, doesn't require wind to keep going, structure stays load bearing (while RStove seemed to erode the base). SLog it is.

As you noted yourself, the vent for the rocket stove was not pointed in the direction of the wind but the vent you put in the Swedish torch was. This put the rocket stove at a severe disadvantage as the you forced the air to go about a quarter way around the stove before it could enter. The wind blowing across the opening creating lower air pressure there due to the Bernoulli effect. This will oppose the draft effect of the chimney (perhaps why the fire burned out through the vent in the first place). The opening on the torch, facing the wind will have a higher pressure, forcing more air in. To make a fair test, you should align the direction of the vents with the wind for maximum benefit to each. (same material and size would also make for a better comparison)

Nice side by side comparison. It would have more validity using the same species with the same diameter.

You do it then

I always thought the rocket stove design was about conserving fuel, using as little as possible, certainly not burning the stove up itself. Having said that, I also agree that if the test is about how each burns itself up, the two logs should be cut from the same tree and be the same dimension, etc. I think you can make a rocket stove without a drill. You can saw halfway through the log about 4 inches from the base, split that half off and then split it again and take a little out of the center and bottom of one of the quarters and put everything back together, plug the cracks with mud (ask the primitive technology guy about using mud for everything and anything, he wouldn't fool around, he'd just make that whole rocket stove out of mud).

Makes sense, thanks for that advice.

I'm not sure if you made the rocket incorrectly, but when I use them they produce unholy amounts of heat and that hole in the side never expands to that extent. The point of the rocket is to have a condensed combustion chamber so that the heat is intensified. That thing should burn steady for a few hours (obviously depends somewhat on the wood as well). Just my opinion, but if I am able I always go with the rocket over the torch.

. . . torches - in general - are lit from the (near) top. BTW, need some help for a clean up in your backyard ?

I like them both, sometimes we don't have a drill along so the Swedish torch is the only option then, I like the controllable of the rocket torch if you plug the holes you could extend the burn time or even put the fire out and use again later.....

Dig a trench from the fire pit to a few feet outside the tee-pee Cover the trench with large flat rocks. Be aware of any anticipated snow and plan for that. Make sure the top of the tee-pee is very open. When there is a fire, the fire draws outside air through the trench to the fire. Open top of the tee-pee vents out gasses and smoke. Similar in concept to a Dakota stove. A Sweedish torch may not last through the night. And as it dies down, less heat goes into the tent. A metal rocket stove might be good too.

First time viewing... Overall a reasonable and fun test in your driveway... practice is always a good thing. It's not exactly a well thought out comparison/experiment this vs. that pros and cons at several levels (tho' discovery is well worth it going thru the motions). Different conditions, materials, orientation, and designs prove more worthy in the real wilds based on what you find (the environs, wood sources, seasons and weather) as well as what tools (you have, know how to use effectively, and what sort of efforts with timeline) you are needing to put into the mix. In my opinion from years of both professionally outfitting/guiding and from personal experiences... the Scandinavian Torch or Canadian Candle is by far the best field expedient, possesses advantages/likelihoods outdoor tool-wise being more the norm, and has way more versatility with practicality. The 'Rocket' is facilitated by an internet armchair expert bunch, nearly impractical, combustion chamber dimensions dependent... and who other than a cabin builder or a professional in the practice of arboriculture is going pack such drilling tools?

The rocket stove is actually upside down! Believe it or not timber burns better standing the same way as it was growing. The Swedish one is the right way up.

Erm, the point of a rocket stove is that it pulls the flame up - so, if your log isn't doing that, then you should have drilled a wider bore, to reduce the resistance to airflow. It's like comparing cars when one of them has a broken engine. Also not sure why the Swedish torch had a bore hole, when that's the feature that makes a rocket stove useful - should have been a traditional torch, six wedges bundled and lit from the center. This test was really just comparing "rocket stove with bore hole that's too small" vs "rocket stove with flanges". As far as experimental design, to determine how many hours*heating each produced, to measure useful cooking time and efficiency... put big metal wash basins over each of them, on a platform, and measure the equilibrium temperature, for crude calorimetry - it won't tell you exact joules, but it will tell you ratios between the two. My guess: rocket stove wins, by increasing temperatures in the core, which leads to a higher percentage of combustion of gasses, compared to the torch, which has gasses cooled along the flanges, escaping uncombusted.

Keem Osabe Thanks Keem!

The swedish Torch is 100% the best ..have Trang That a LOT.. svensk eldkubbe

also turning one into the wind and the other across the wind didn't help the comparison.

That's true... Eventually I'll make a new video with a true comparison.

what if you split a log 6 ways and then tied it back together with wire and put some fatwood vertical in the middle for the swedish meatball version? brb, im hungry.

Meism Theism I've thought about that for a video. It would definitely be easier than drilling it out... Hopefully it works just as good.

Let's compare and not use similar pieces of timber... hmm

火力と時間の使い分けかぁ、torchにも色々あるのが勉強になる excellent 、こういう事が出来る男性がいたらアウトドアも楽しそう 🎄⛺🎄🚙、まあ自分インドア(*´･ω･｀)b

I nearly watched that video, but had to stop it because of the music!

Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

Walt Doyle Once I pointed the bottom hole towards the wind, it stoked the fire up enough and helped it go vertical, instead of horizontal. I think a wider log would've worked better.

Thanks for posting. I did a rocket stove recently and wasn’t impressed.

I'd like to try it on a longer log and see if the draft makes a taller fire.
