  • 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

    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)..

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

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

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

  • excellent info, good work

  • refine the clat whit water and it will look nicer
