This is one of the few videos demonstrating cooking with the briquettes, thanks heaps for sharing. I wonder if it really matters what shape the briquettes are. Your stove is great to keep the heat inside and you mentioned it burnt in 4 minutes. Wouldn't smaller sized briquettes burn as quickly and at the same temperature? I make long briquettes then tear them into 3 cm chunks. They burnt faster and turned ashy white than the larger pieces in my experiment - these remained unburnt.

@CardboardFurniture you're right, it matters a lot what shape the briquettes are like. this size was defined by many experiments and represents the most generic dimension for different briquette materials as well as stove designs. bigger hole tends to suck too much air in the combustion chamber which cools down the fire and its difficult to ignite, too small holes don't provide enough air.. it depends on the briquette material as well

intresting stove idea. How do you make the briquetts, and do you "fire" the clave tube stove?

thanks

@Swazooli the stove is preferably fired yes for durability, lightness and efficiency. the temperature of the kiln depends on what kind of clay you're using. briquettes are made manually with simple machines, pls find Legacy Foundation website for further info

I love this stove who makes them, Please let me know. Thanks

[RokStoves]

@Prince7641 nobody makes them for sale except in some countries in Africa, maybe elsewhere as well. It can be made by anyone having access to clay, some sawdust and firing kilns. If you want to learn how to make it, you can watch other instructional videos on my youtube account or visit my website googling keywords Mdula Stove

Make soap out of the ashes. Just saying. Nice interpretation of the rocket stove.

Have you made some Art School of some sort?

0:29 OK i think there's a ghost in that park because if you pause it on the frame where the bottom goes green you see a face ps i am able to pause it on that frame because i use vlc streamer not u tube player.

Thank for share this video, it is very interesting, I'll try to do one by myself

[tonyaquinoxx]

good video, why can we design a plug for the intake and exhaust and save the unburned fuel for the next meal?

[MrUAV100]

Thanks for that reply, I will check it out.

Cool!
