how to make a rocket stove :: part 02

[nitr0burn]

Make sure you do a high heat burn before using this to cook with! This is the easiest way to make a rocket stove, but those galvanized pipes will give you metal fever if you don't burn it off first! (applies to directly cooking things over the initial flame!)

[mogges1]

Any way this is really a informitive video.thanks

[mogges1]

I can see making a solar over out of either aluminum foil are buying those um insulated aluminum boards.the kind used for ac/ht ducts

[carol75150]

BSA teach how to make a home-made version. Get a box 14"x10" by 10"tall, cover it in heavy duty foil. Add the cooking bag is a good idea to hold in more heat.

What is Tryad? on your shirt

[TheMarPacifico]

Good job...learned a lot of good things...thanks

[PeterGratrex]

Well presented man, great work. You can be glad to know many people will benefit from the work you put into making this. Much appreciation from England.

[jamiemenuez]

i've seen alot of rocket stove videos, but never explained as well...thanks.

[lienad76]

its very helpful nowadays, because LPG is very expensive

[behindeverybush1]

It's about time to get a haircut young man and I mean now! You're starting to look like a hippie. And turn off that Beatle music!........................­Oh wow, where did that come from. I think that was my dad channeling through me. Well anyway, that's a good video and well explained. I'm going to build one for sure. Thanks.

[yahoodlums]

Great tutorial, nice work.

[lifeissugar]

Say the twigs get burnt and we keep putting more twigs. At a point there will be lots of ash inside. Do we have to stop and then clean out the ash and then start it up again with more twigs?

Built mine today, using a round 5 gal can from a hardware/farm supply store. Seemed to build about the same. Hard to improve on this design but I added a handle from a 5-gallon plastic bucket so its easier to carry around. I also didnt have any ashes (I live in the suburbs) so I used 25 lbs of kitty litter, which also seemed to work OK. For lighting, I had trouble until I removed the platform and stuffed 1 sheet of newspaper in the elbow, and put sticks down the top of the chimney.

Thanks a lot dude. Very helpful.

[doriandoti]

well done



[TheBgcheez]

Great video!! Thanks for posting this. Can you tell me what type of can this is that you used to make the stove? Thanks.

[chandler22]

fantastic! thank you!

just subbed to your channel :)

[flooringpro]

Do you think an emergency solar blanket attached to a similar pattern would work for a solar stove? Might be a real cheap way to make one.

[RJBURG]

if you like to see how my solar cooker works plus tips on them go to [ rjburg ]

[Bazanteria]

me like. you look like edward's scissorhands brother :) very interesting video. well done !

[ThorsgaardFoundry]

GAY!

[richardday]

@ThorsgaardFoundry How on earth is this 'gay'? I'm assuming English isn't your first language. Either that, or you are a tool.

[bctruck]

do you think sand would work as an insulator? i know it would be heavy,but i wouldnt be moving mine often.

[ThriftyWitch]

@bctruck I know that the Bedouin or the desert people in egypt dig huge 5 foot dep holes with fire in them and take a whole goat and place in a metal drum and bury it in the sand and 8 hours later the whole goat is compleatly cooked..

[wingzofsteel]

Very good presentation.

[scott777survivalist]

what about cat littler instead of ash ?

[kenfo0]

Please...PLEASE! I BEG of you: lose the euro-gay muzak. other than that, good vid.

[Amanensis]

Why do you pull the remaining part of the plastic bag through the reflector? Is there any theory behind this, or is it just to get the excess out of the way (so the reflector is not 'shaded' by part of the bag)?

BTW - I was jammin out to the song interludes!

[ahj666]

Easy to make, cheap available materials and massive heat

thanks for sharing this video

[yomama111336]

Haha you kinda talk and look like Michal jackson

[bassbugg7]

good video. thank you.

[pgmessage]

fantastic thanks - well done

[normbrag]

Love the rocket stove there,now that's is cool as it gets,..Great job !!! Keep the vids coming,..There's nothing like great thinking...I really dig the education there as well...

[stclairstclair]

A well done set of videos, looks like some nice country where you are, Keep the videos coming!

[moratraken]

Thanks for the great / informative video. oven cleaner works rather well on smoke blackened pots and pans. Wrap the outside with aluminum foil before putting them over a fire works even better!! :)

[MagicStarER]

That was cool. I learned something. Good job! :)

[plutoplatters]

I would think sand ( like in a playground) would work even better than ash...as it's rock and would retain heat even more so ...

[RDLONG30]

The method with a SKIRT around the pot makes it MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE,other than that, GOOD JOB.

[magiliw2]

I like the black coating it looks cool.

[elrodqfudp]

To keep your pots (and anything they touch) from turning black rub their outside with some liquid soap. If you do not have liquid soap, then rub bar soap on them followed by a drop or two of water.

When you wash them all the black coating comes off.

From the Boy Scouts Handbook, 1953

[elrodqfudp]

If you add water to wood ash you will get lye, a strong alkali. It is useful in removing flesh from hides as well as hands.

[RTSBMX]

revenge of the nerds

[CyrusDawes]

You're so right. lol

NERDS!

[scoobydog411]

cant you water the ashes down to keep dust down ?

[ilyAndreax3]

very well descriptive! thanks!

[meetcha2nite]

a couple hours! what about bears?

[Conjurbiscut]

great information! thanks!

[ariel0785]

uh, wouldn't the plastic bag melt due to the heat? still cool though.

[vavrekcom]

no... the plastic bags are specially made to resist heat...

'oven roasting bags'.

they actually can survive oven temperatures...

thanks. :)

[featherian]

awesome work.

i suscribe

good stuff

[TheGodMasterful]

hey bady go and make a haircut

[XINIX100]

it looks like a barbyq

[otowise]

Well done Good tutorial well made thanks for postiing it

[99cachorro]

alot of us will need to use these cooking techniques as we slip into third world status

[Amanensis]

Or when we all raise our vibration, seeing that methods such as this are much more friendly to our Mother.

[kenfo0]

@Amanensis stop your "vibrating", you're going to grow hair on your palms.

[kenfo0]

@99cachorro your political rhetoric aside, these are useful for power outages or camping.

[ccolley3]

@kenfo0 Political rhetoric? have you not been following the news within the last 3-4 months, 2010 has been one of the biggest years in history.. you will see third world status where you live and in your lifetime, Providing the climate allows us to make it another year or two... so lets make a list of your future.. sorry to be a party pooper but heres whats to come soon!

- Ice Age

- Volcanic Age

- QE2 by the fed will crush the dollar.

- Complete tyranny

- Civil Unrest

- and most likely WW3 .

[kenfo0]

@ccolley3 I could tell you were a retarded canadian even before I checked. read what you wrote....stupidity like "2010 has been one of the biggest years in history...". What? Like it's 6'2" and 300lbs? By what criteria is 2010 more important than, say, 1939 or 1776? You simply blurt out stupidity as if authority. Your list is stupid....you are one of those idiots who believes in MMGW, then you list "ice age"...derrrrrrrrrrr! You are proof that leftist education does not work.

[99cachorro]

@kenfo0 sure 2010 was one of the biggest years in history thanks to the fed shoveling money at us. I think you'll find they are trying to beat a dead horse

[kenfo0]

@99cachorro ???Where the f*** do you retards come from? It is like some kind of a "stupidvirus" that is running rampant and spreading faster than one can compute. Why are you looking at a rocket stove vid? alex the a-hole jones didn't approve it.

[ccolley3]

@99cachorro have you made yours yet considering your now third world?

[99cachorro]

@ccolley3 hell yea, I got several of them.

[Murry25]

I made one of these and when I fired it up it did not play house techno music. I am sooo disappointed.

Nice video, five stars!

[josuha2006]

Well done.

Good tutorial.

[breezebro]

Where are you in this video? It looks like a very nice place.

[wuberman]

These stoves are pretty cool. I am going to replace my burned out wash tub fire pit with one. Possibly using a eight inch square tube and brick. How do you clean out the ash? just shake it out?

[theHeraldTV]

Cool beans (well, ideally, hot)!

[riskyduckfeet]

I find it very disturbing that you would use someones ashes for something like this.

Seriously though, Vavrek, a good tip for curing your carbon deposit problem is to smear your pans with a thin layer of washing up liquid, then the soot will wash off really easily.
