Build A Rocket Stove, Step-By-Step

Build a Rocket Stove Step-by-Step. Building a rocket stove is quick and easy. You will need one #10 can and four small cans (soup, corn, beans, etc.). Seeing how to build a rocket stove is much easier then explaining the process in writing. I recommend watching the video and commenting if you have any questions. This is a great alternative heat source and cooking option for camping, emergency preparedness and to cook your food storage on. If you can cook it on a stove you can cook it on a rocket stove.

nice vid .try to use screened ash to insulate heat, instead of sand.

[LDSPrepper]

I understand ash works best as an insulator. Thanks for the recommendation.

Finished my soup can rocket stove based on your video. Thanks for posting. BTW, I didnt video the build but I shoot my daughters cooking in their brand new stainless mess kits on it. Bacon and eggs and they shared with the rest of the family!!!

[LDSPrepper]

Awesome. It was a cute video. Thanks for sharing.

nice but you didnt show it in action. Id like to see it working before I try making one.

[LDSPrepper]

Please view the other Rocket Stove videos in my playlist to see it in action.

I add more wood.

[LDSPrepper]

I use it to keep the sand from spilling and to stabilize the inner can.

Could you place this in a camping tent? Like a Nylon tent..would it be safe enough?

[Eva Zyg]

the airflow is more controlled/directional so it heats what you want it to

it also burns hotter because of this & the insulation so you need less wood there is not a lot of smoke either because you don't need more than several handfuls of twigs.

A rocket stove has two benefits. 1. cooks your food 2. keeps you warm. If you use vermiculite it would dissipate the heat too fast after the fire goes out. You need the thermal mass to remain hot long after the fire dies. The fire is going to cook your food at the same rate regardless what the stove is insulated with.

Okay, wonderful. How do you put a pan on top of this contraption without putting the fire out? Don't you need stand off's to hold the pan above the edge of the #10 can?

my question is what does this do as opsed to just sticking some wood in a can does it conserve the wood higher temp what ?

A Spaceloft Aerogel mat is said to have an R value of 30.9 and costs only $5 per square foot on eBay: ebay(.)com/itm/Aspen-Aerogel-S­PACELOFT-Insulation-Hydrophobi­c-Mat-Per-Linear-Foot-57-Wide-­/180860317203

So how does the aluminum hold up to the flame? Wouldn't it burn through the aluminum?
