@boat6868 thanks! tomorrow i fire up the little rocket stove i just built a couple days ago. check back for the results of the boiling water test late evening.
Great fabrication work, your very talented, what you experienced were just minor set backs which really were not set backs at all, probably just a little frustrating.
Thanks for sharing your video and ideas, this is what makes the world go round man.
@tryin2lhard thanks for the kind words and i agree. the youtube community is a wonderful thing. its the best of all people and cultures combined to be one fantastic learning machine.
@tryin2lhard yes its been a real learning experience with this stove. i used cedar until i realized haw bad it smelled and how much unburned ash would float around on and land on m food. then i accidently used what i thought was wood trim. turns out it was 99% plastic and stunk so bad. it took forever to get tyhe smell out of the stove. now i use pine and hardwood exlusively. my freind is a cabinet maker and he gives me all his scraps. thats what ill be using from now on.
Your welcome, be sure to leave a gap at the end where your wood will be on fire, you almost want to create a small chimney at the end of your steel plate for the air to come up from underneath, this essentially creates a jet stream of air placement.
Nice stove man, I think you would get a much better burn if you used a solid flat piece of steel for your wood to rest on, your open steel does not force the air to come up and under the ends of your sticks, that in part is the idea by using a flat solid piece of steel, to direct the air flow under and over the very ends of your sticks. Great stove man, very nice job.
@tryin2lhard wow! thanks so much! i cant believe i missed something so obvious. i put a lot of time and reseach into the subject before i built my own and i cant believe i missed something so important to the clean burning of the gasses. thanks again for pointing that out. im gonna mention this next time i use the stove. im out of scraps so next time i go to the salvage yard ill loolk for a piece that i can make work there.
Rolling boil in seven minues is very impressive.

@mailroomelf the new ones that im building are going to be much smaller but also capable of boiling water quickly or cooking on.

I like your idea of a heat shield made out of flashing, what kind of wood are you using?
If your using cedar that stuff really burns black.
It may have been plastic as you said in your video that had gotten in the mix, yikes!
