How do I make a rocket stove
Want to make a rocket stove?
If so check it out over here for more detailed info.
Use a drum with a hole cut in the bottom
Use matching cans for ease of stacking.
These were all the same brand baked beans.
Use ash to fill the drum
Put the kettle on
Cooks boiling water within minutes - lots of heat, fuel efficient, no smoke.
Great for stir frys
rocketingly yours
Doc ;)

Re: How do I make a rocket stove
Ahhhh now it makes sense because unless you look at your blog there's something glaringly missing - a heat source! I was wondering what exactly it was that made it heat up.

Do you weld the cans together somehow?... this looks fantastic BTW.

Re: How do I make a rocket stove
correct me if im wrong, but you can make it even more efficient by putting a horizontal divider accross the bottom cans like this: (-)
then only feeding wood in the top "shelf" - i have read that this is supposed to suck more oxygen for an even more complete combustion . . .
