The best rocket stove design just got better! Airflow was an issue with the original #10 can rocket stove design. I cut some two inch wide "flaps" and pushed them over the top of the rocket stove. This helps keep the top on and allows great airflow. Now the rocket stove is really rockin'.

  • I would be curious to see how much wood it takes to boil a kettle of water just so that I have something I can relate to. Have started saving cans so I can try making my own. Thanks for the inspiration.

  • @hankyknot Let me know how much wood it takes when you do it.

  • If you wanted the rocket stove to heat an area and not just to cook on, wouldn't the vermiculite make more sense? My thinking is that more heat is being transferred through the vermiculite than just escapes out the chimney when sand is used.

  • @hankyknot That could be. I haven't tried it. A stove this size is mainly for cooking not heating.

  • The link in the video for the dangers of this excellent stove is broken, also thank you for the post, I will be making one of these badboys

  • @aei05h1 Thank you for letting me know. I have fixed it.

  • This is brilliant - I'm clearing a lot of land and can drink a limited amount with flask. Will be making one this weekend. Thanks for sharing :)

  • @pmaughmer Thanks for asking. It works great! It works great because it causes its own "suction" due to the design. When the wood is lit it pulls air through the hole on the side which helps burn the wood. It is the easiest wood stove to light and keep lit I know of.

  • Alittle curious as to how well this model works on a day with little to no wind?

  • smart fella.
