@nuonnuon Thanks!

Are there any actual rules for rocket stove design that would help resolve combustion chamber sizes? A rocket for camping would be cool (from black pipe).

@fallguy100000 I think the only real rule is that it work well. Outside of that I think it would have to be what you want it to do. In the case of imau2ber below, he is not accustomed to handling anything larger than three inches so Im sure his stove is very small.... if he has one. If you are planning on doing car camping then size wont matter, you just want it to work. If you're hiking in someplace then you might want something smaller or even built on-site and left there.

Your riser is WAY TOO high.

[bshupejr]

@imau2ber How do you figure? Based on the internal dimensions of the combustion chamber it is about perfect. Additionally, the overall height of the stove does not match the length of the riser. There is about a 4" extension on the top to elevate the pot off the stack/riser allowing the heat to expand and affect the whole bottom of the pot more evenly than the type that have the pot sitting right on the stack. Thanks for taking time to watch the vid and comment.

@cmathew4 Then use that.

@2012Twist I used sheet metal screws to hold the structure together (strength) and the tape to seal it up.

[2012Twist]

did you use h v a c silver tape to make those fittings stick together?..

long term no problems with the metal burning through? and careful when burning the stink off!
