[xXMATTanator99Xx]

Why are they called rocket stoves?

[MrSchpankme]

[MegaBrick24]

You sound like you could use a nice cup of hot water! How convenient

[2JobsStillPoorUSA]

very cool. I'll remember that next time I have issues building a camp fire in the rain. LOL

[forty5degrees]

Your first ever, as you know it, its nice very nice. but its not the first. This method of fire lighting/ cooking is being used to this day all over the world, including, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran. and other parts of Asia and Europe.

They use mostly animal dung to light it. simply because those areas are sometimes very cold and wood is hard to come-by; therefore animal dung is the first choice, turned into large saucers and broken into pieces for daily use. However i commend you.

@forty5degrees first mud rocket stove on You Tube... thanks

[FacetsOfTruth]

That is very cool. First one I've seen. Thanks!



[stone4bread]

excellent info, good work

[CoolKillerClan]

[Hapatzu]

Thats cool



[fletcher0102]

this one is epic!!!

[tarxantoo]

cool video

[crazyhorns1]

it looks like a giant pipe

[stayingawake20]

Dude, that was awesome! Thanks!

[CARTESIANZ]

An excellent video ! I am a fan of the Dakota fire hole , but this is so much more versatile . I like the idea of turning it into the wind . THANKS so much

[LivingHistorySchool]

@CARTESIANZ

yes the Dakota is nice, but this one is some what mobile

[shaolinadr]

its like bronze age forge only smaller

[LivingHistorySchool]

@shaolinadr

Interesting

[sheep1ewe]

@shaolinadr

Sorry for my english..

I must actually try make one a bit bigger and see if it can smelt brass...

(and perhaps add one or a pair of blowing holes for bellows in the bottom of the stove)

Seen similar but bigger constructions still in use in about as late as 16 cent. among bellmakers. if i am not misstake... Was studying a simlar but even bigger construction used for iron bloom (correct name?) about 100 AC or so. (it does not smelt iron but make a spongy block possible to work)..



[Yankeeprepper]

very cool dude.

[OKBushcraft]

Great stuff, just found your vids. *****

[jmg1957]

thanks jim..

[LivingHistorySchool]

@jmg1957

Jim did you send it?

[MrEhud77]

That is sweet!

[BeantownJim]

Try mixing wheat grass with that clay for strength.

[B4realalready]

So what's the life span of your stove? I made 4 using popcorn tins, beer kegs and anything that was free. I'd love to try your design if it's durable, or at least comparable with my beer keg rocket stove. Thanks for the great video.

[cdltpx]

Look up rocket stove and you will see the dimensions needed. I think you need 2x heigth than the feed that would require something stronger than clay the heat should be to the walls of an insulated chimney. So a piece of terra cotta with some steel rods to support pot or the pot can be suspended from the top since you have the wire on pot I would suspend from the top. Burner level needs to be seperated air bottom combustion top once going it makes its own updraught.

[cdltpx]

@cdltpx I like your idea I would have a hard time calling that a rocket stove it is an oven of sorts but hardly a rocket.

[LivingHistorySchool]

@cdltpx

that all sounds logical

[GIJeaux1]

1st ever????? Type "Dakota Stove" into Google. I think that the Native Americans probably beat you to it by about 11,000 years or so. Great video though. Thanks.

[LivingHistorySchool]

@GIJeaux1

dakota stove are in the ground and can't be moved around

[jmg1957]

nice..

[MrBabelfish5]

Awesome video. I would have never thought of doing something like that. I'm going to try and make one of those.

[4ancientarts]

very nice!

[pyroman675]

if you had a little bit more room in-between the pot and the stoves outer lip it wouldent smoke as much and youll be getting a hotter and cleaner burn :)

good video im going to try that A.S.A.P

[LivingHistorySchool]

yes your right, video tape it and attach to mine ...thanks

[pyroman675]

okay ill show its easy/ ill get it up probably this weekend :)

[earthflow]

JimboJitsu is correct. You need more space around the cooking can. (Or a smaller can. Great idea great job... You will find that you need more of a riser to get best results. (The space between the burn chamber and the cooking area needs to be longer.)

[LivingHistorySchool]

I agree

[vientorio]

chiminee. lolz, seriously though, cool vid.

[rickster348]

well, I guess with the economy the way it is, we all better learn stuff like this.

[LivingHistorySchool]

clay pockets look like clay you can use regular mud too

[desertsurvivalist]

That is really cool! I remember building one of those a long time ago. They are really fun to build and use. Thanks for sharing that.

[Ghostkamo]

Thanks for sharing this. 5/5

[JimboJitsu]

very nice video, thanks for sharing! It kinda looked like it might need to be a little bit wider to get the rocket affect when the can is inside?

Great idea, great video, 5 stars!

[FabriceKerg]

QUESTION: Don't you have to let the stove dry first to avoid that I will burst completely?

[LivingHistorySchool]

no I didn't let the clay dry before I started it up...it dryed by use

[davidnightingale]

5 stars. Excellent, good job. Cheers

[oregonmikes]

Nice job Scott.

[QuitePatriot]

Nice piece of bushcraft, but wouldnt it be easier just to put the can on a fire to heat the water?

[LivingHistorySchool]

This works well if you have limited amounts of wood, with a few small sticks.

[QuitePatriot]

looks great and some excellent use of resources and that is at the heart of bushcrafting. Thanks for the post !

[Equip2Endure]

Great video, i'm going to give this a try. I really like the idea of not using much wood. Thanks,

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!! 5/5*

[yojialjimbo]

will ordinary clay dry out hard?

[LivingHistorySchool]

I just used the local clay, you can just use a mud cob mix will work too....just experiment.... I dug the clay and built the stove all within 35 minutes...it will dry as you use the stove..just experiment

[EDINBURGSTAR]

Great stove, five stars.

Thanks for sharing.

Bushcraft along the Rio Grande.

[skybirdbird]

very cool........

[bushcraftbartons]

Job Well done! 5 STARS

[NibiruMagick2012]

nice***** I plan on trying this myself.

[woodswoman783]

That's great! I've always wanted to build a rocket stove for bench heating but the clay around here is limited. Maybe that's a vid you could do. Show us how to find clay. Thanks much for showing us this. I'll have to give it try once the ground thaws.

[IVOIPSG]
