It looks really pro. I would like to try your design but I can't figure out how you joined the seems at the top of the cans, that looks really tidy. Was that soldered? What did you use? Look forward to see your next one.
@lusoportugal08 Thank you I'm glad you think so, no soldering or welding at all. Just cutting as precise fit as possible and a bit of deft hammering around the top to complete it. Since this rocket stove was done I have made a few more, a couple have been posted on youtube. Check out the other more recent vids...cheers
Stainless... Great use of damaged stainless pots. I can hardly wait till next years garage sales! Question, in the home models the have the wood entry areas tilted so they are self feeding, is there a reason all the portable ones are not tilted?
@brendahodgins Probably just a little more straight forward to make, from my own point of view it was easier to make with the materials I had to hand. A self feeder could be made and indeed has been made into a portable rocket stove, maybe one day I will make one. But so far the ones I've made have worked very well, I still think a traditional shape gives a better draft than a self feeder. But I could be proved wrong when I eventually make one, thanks for your comment. Cheers
just finished mine ....but are they ever finished .... really ? ,myself ,being a wanker had to use the MIG welder ,in order to get it JUST !!! right :)
this stove is almost perfect! good job! do you think you could make one so the pot can go down further into the fire & be surrounded by insulation to keep hot, even heat? I have a perfect application for a unit like that. especially if possible to have 2 burners (opening for cooking), front & back, but one firebox. are u a builder? engineer?
@Marleyites :-) that's very kind of you! Yes I think I could but just haven't bothered yet cos so many other things I'm doing, I have recently modified this this and my other rocket stove with a device to help burn more efficiently and it seems to work. Upload or patent? not sure yet? No I'm not a builder or engineer, but I guess I have acquired various skills through...shell we say...a variety of work and jobs in many different fields :-). This is just a bit of fun for me now. Cheers bud...
@thejesters1975 Thank you for your comment, it was a bit of a rush job late at night just before I went to bed. I am currently working on another one, but I will take more time to do as neat a job as I can with the materials I have to hand. cheers!
