I’m going to build a couple of these with our church youth group. This is an excellent simple build that can be done with some relatively basic tools. Thank you!
The machine oil line made me chuckle, and that was a lovely bit of ribeye. Will add this to my list of possibles, although I would need to get one made for me.
Hi nice to see what you can do in a single day, as makers of products that can take months often years in the making of a few products so it is refreshing to see what others get to do in a day and to get to make high tea we think this is great equally. We are two guys with all of the needed equipment to weld that have welding and machine way scrapping to complete in our abilities and this makes for yet another reason to stop in and enjoy a great build by you welding and all. You did a great building job, steak where is the tea? Oh there it came after the fine meal, very settling. Thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.
In a rocket stove the equilibrium of full pyrolisis is created by the length of tube after the burn chamber. Although mostly smoke free, your design is letting most of the VOC (flammable gasses) release before combustion. Basically just a contained fire (evidenced by the bright yellow flame). Yours would benefit greatly from moving the feed tube lower, and in the middle of the 90° bend. By circumstance it also creates a larger burn chamber and will burn hotter. You will need a fire grate, but it really doesn't conplicate things, mount it halfway up the bottom tube from end to end. There is a ratio between the pipes as well. 3:2:1 being the riser, the air tube, and the feed tube respectively. Please try the mods, and take this travesty down.
It looks nice, and thanks a lot for dimensions, I'm thinking of doing something like that, maybe, adding some handles for easier transportation and something for better steadiness on uneven ground. One question I have - how heavy is it, how much does it weights?
Hmmm, perhaps I've misunderstood the rocket stove concept. This just seems to be a normal stove. Normal stoves (like this one) = put wood in, have air path, light fire. I thought rocket stoves should have the burn chamber and riser separated, with provisions for insulation (you mentioned that) and preferably some control of secondary burn. Fire or smoke should not be coming out the top of the riser as it indicates an incomplete burn and doesn't offer the opportunity for it ...no?
Great Video David. I will certainly be making one of these. As a matter of interest what type of Plasma cutter did you get and are you happy with it? Thanks John
Wow, one whole day to build? How about twenty minutes but if it's overtaxing your brain just look up the Farm Girl who used four foundation blocks. Odds are you will forget all this when truly needed.
She looks like a wonderful cook. But the masonary block cracks and crumbles when used hard. I like to use the rocket stove for boiling down tree sap for syrup.
As a young stoner in yesteryear; I would have seen a different (and misguided) potential for this device - but would ultimately have eaten too much, fallen asleep, and forgotten what a rocket stove actually is. Now, I’m gonna build it and use it correctly...like....later...
OMG> Did you just say 'tea'? meaning dinner. You obviously came from a servant background...and I'm not even English.. 'Tea' and 'supper' are servants meal times..You need to break from those traditions...that's too long ago to be still speaking like that and carrying on those redundant traditions.
Absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed this no end. The way you combined a number of skills into one fun project was great. I loved the drawings over the video at the beginning. Nice idea. Now, how did you cook the baked potato to go with the steak?!
Thanks Nick. I’d been thinking about getting a drawing tablet for a while but couldn’t quite make my mind up. Luckily, a rather helpful and talented artist at work who has one let me have a play.
Hi I’ve only just discovered your channel as I was searching for a Warco 250 and I see you have experienced with one, would you recommend the lathe? I’m looking at purchasing a new inverter drive motor one. always great seeing another craftsman’s work and ideas keep up the good work 👍🏼
