Grover Rocket Stove

[paulhoy]

You guys need to make a lightweight version for backcountry camping...

I bought one of these stoves and cooked for six and a half hours yesterday on about six handfuls of 2 ' long pieces of wood no bigger around than 1 1/2 inches. These stoves rock!!!! Make sure and use a windscreen and your performance will be greatly improved

lighting it***

@CornyIsCool I use newspaper stuffed into the bottom of the burn chamber with a little lamp oil to make it easier. Also, I place two to three small sticks into the burn chamber throught the air/fuel intake just so the ends are exposed to the fire. If you feed too much fuel in, you will choke out the fire.

What is it insulated with?

vermiculite

quick question I just built a similar stove design but my inlet and flue are both 3" not 3 to 4" like yours. Just wondering how tall those nuts are that you are using as a stand off, because i have yet to finish that part.

thanks I'll get a video up of it up when it's done in a couple weeks... tell me what u think if you get a chance
