Rocket Stove DANGERS

Rocket stoves are very safe but they also can be dangerous. Be very careful when building the stove that you don't get cut by the sharp metal. Also watch out for the hot sticky glue that held on the paper label. That can burn you severely. If you take care you will have a great experience using your Rocket Stove. I recommend you take the 30 minutes and build a Rocket Stove using this design.

DON'T ever put on gloves when you use a drill press!!!

@AMilitantAgnostic Very good advice. Thanks for sharing.

[mrshammerhankus]

thanks for this particular video, i appreciate not having to learn that stuff first hand,

[LDSPrepper]

@mrshammerhankus I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I hope you enjoy using your rocket stove.

Thank you for this fine series of videos. The instructions are very clear, and your commentary is useful. I especially appreciate the 'part 2' and 'update', which helped clarify points brought up by commenters. You may want to put in a word about the green-colored wood, which appears to be from pressure-treated lumber. If it is not from arsenic-containing lumber, please ease our minds about it. Using appropriate fuel is an important safety consideration!

@DanYHKim Yup, don't burn treated wood.

@WulfBand okay, I was a CNC machinist for Rockwell Int. I made parts for Space Shuttles and B-1 bombers and GPS Satellites - again - don't ever put on gloves when you use a drill press!!

[WulfBand]

@AMilitantAgnostic It's not the gloves, he should have used a clamp to anchor the peace he was working on. There is always a danger with a drip press to try to hold the work peace by hand. Harbor Freight offers some excellent drill press work peace holders for a reasonable price.

@BarneySaysHi Very good idea. Thanks for sharing.

When drilling in sheet metal it's a good idea to clamp it onto a piece of wood that's larger than the metal you drill in. If that not an option, hold it between your shoes, when it's a can for instance, but with a sheet, you might consider standing on it. That way your weight keeps it in place. Worked for me in the past.

@2bornot2b1984 You'd be surprised how many people need to hear this advice being given explicitly. Not everyone thinks ahead about such things. A clear warning may save someone a bad experience with their stove-making efforts, and so will encourage them to expand their own DIY experimentation.
