During an emergency, the ability to purify water could be critical. This improved brick rocket stove could be built for about $10, if you have to buy the materials. It's possible to salvage all of them. This is an improved design from the previous SurvivalCommonSense rocket stove post that has received more than one million views.
You use any biomass stove at your own risk, since a variety of unforeseen circumstances and/or materials could affect the safety of the stove.
Please order my book: "Bushcraft Basics: A Common Sense Wilderness Survival Handbook" at your local independent book store: www.indiebound...
or on Amazon: tinyurl.com/bu...
or at Barnes and Noble: tinyurl.com/Ba...
Thanks!
Stay safe and go outside!

If you put the lower air intake vent to the side, it might work better. That would allow you to keep your kindling shelf (brick) against the wood intake area.

If you add another layer of mesh near the top of the chimney, then you can be assured that no hot embers fly out the top. It could prevent a wildfire in super dry or dought conditions.

I also might add that a rudimentary version of this type of stove was commonly used back in the 1700's during the Revolutionary War whenever regiments were going to be in one place for a few days or weeks. They would dig a trench about 3-feet deep and 2-feet wide. Then about a foot back from the edge they would dig a hole about 1 to 1½-ft. deep. Next they would dig in from the side of the trench to meed the hole coming down from the top. You would light the fire in the bottom; sit on the edge of the trench; and feed in fuel through the bottom. They you'd put a few twigs across the opening in top to set your pans on for cooking. These were known as "Kitchens" and they could easily have 30 or more of them built in a circle with the trench. Once you get the right amount of draft going, it works well for cooking. Normally one man would do the cooking for each mess of men. There were typically 6 men per mess and per tent in an encampment. "Rocket Stoves" were around long before the term "Rocket" was.

@@MuhammadAhmed-qh7ut Yeah, I wasn't saying that was the first time it was used, just pointing out that it's not new and even digging one into an earth bank is effective. It wasn't called a "rocket stove" in Rev War times either. It was just the way they constructed kitchens for each mess (usually about 6 men who all shared the same tent) to use any time they stopped for a couple of weeks.

Hi, and thanks for this great design. No arrangement of found materials is going to be perfect, but is there a kind of 'flue liner' that would protect the brick? Perhaps sheet metal bent to the interior dimensions? Some cost, but would lengthen the life of the chimney. Are flue liners double sleeve with sandwiched insulation? Thinking out loud here.

I noticed that after you left a space for the draw under the fuel, you covered it up with a brick. Obviously moving the brick will allow it to draw better and burn hotter. I noticed at the end of the film that you had moved that brick slightly to come in at an angle so you could still use it to support long pieces of fuel and yet allow a bit of an opening for better draw. Pretty cool!

Another solution to rest your pot/pans on over the flame, in the event you can't find a nice grill from a range or something, is just to place two more bricks diagonally across the opening on top... one on each side of the opening.... then rest your pot on top of that. The gap between the flame and pot will be a little bigger, but it'll work in a pinch.

It will happen without any warning , not one , in an instant , catching masses of people off guard just like God always does, ie the flood , sodom and gomorrah ~ a rude awakening . Matt. 24:44 jesus said Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. No one knows the exact day or hour the rapture will happen is a certainty . THE RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN NOW at ANY TIME make no mistake !! . Please awake to Christ Jesus which is the ONLY hope NOW and dont let yourself find out it IS all true later when its too late and you have been left behind in the most terrible times the earth Has Ever experienced Before and ever will...for anyone who sees this and doesnt know what to do please If you havent given your life and heart to Christ Jesus you will have REAL BIG problems way bigger than any problems you have Ever had If you are left here on earth after the Rapture . After the Rapture The USA , Worldwide , will face More evils , Inner city chaos, firearm wars etc etc ,power and water , food shortages , military invasions,mass executions (yes much blood will be required by antichrist ) etctec than it Has EVER been seen Before and you surely dont want to be Here then . We Have Time NOW to change , please seek Christ Jesus while there is still time to save ! no one knows the day or hour of the rapture ,But the rapture will start out just like any other day .....The Rapture will Take Place In the day In Broad daylight, sunny day , In an Instant FLASH without ANY warning , and there will be peoples Driver Ids, cell phones ,wallets found in various parking lots , Purses bill folds Found at work etc etc with NO explanation , and People VANISHING so No One can refute it has taken place. . romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Many of those that are left behind were seen in deep regret and many hung themselves on fences on interstates , and roadways and different places, their cars left by the roadside and many others also used their cars to kill them selves wrecking into things . It will be a horrible time , and regret will cause many to commit suicide . NOW is the time, dont wait until its too late seek Please Christ Jesus NOW. Those not going in the rapture and left behind , who rejected Christ Jesus' Love, and those that are practicing sin will have a big nightmare when left after the rapture example woman dancing in topless bar practicing sin , will NOT go in the rapture when it happens abruptly , and many other examples of willfully practicing sin daily .matthew 25 :1-13 parable of the 10 virgins, 5 were wise 5 were foolish and payed a severe price .

I first ran into a backwoods 'stove' similar to these 'rocket stoves' in the 1970s when backpacking in "Valley of a Thousand Falls" camp along the Berg Lake trail up to Mt Robson in the Canadian Rockies outside of Jasper. Someone had constructed a 30" high 'chimney' out of rocks, with holes around the bottom for air intake and sticks to be inserted. It worked great, seemed to put out a lot more heat per stick than your typical open fire pit and worked fine in the rain. There was a regular parade of sherpas up to Berg Lake to climb Mt Robson, which is a training climb for Himalaya climbs. It's quite possible that some of these folks may have been the source of this rock stove if these sorts of stoves were used in their native lands back in the 1970s. It's probably no longer there... 'Leave no trace' folks tend to break down these efficient heating structures.

I've seen several similar videos. This could be called "Iimproved" because is simpler. But if the combustion Chamber and the air draft are in the same position, there are two problems: the temperature cannot be controlled and you cannot put a support outside for the fuel,., that will SOFOCATE the fire. That"s why you had to cut the video and put the support a little slanted. But the wrong thing is not to EXPLAIN IT!

I think this design would also make an excellent thermal mass heater for inside a camping tipi which naturally allows the smoke to rise out the top. Using four half blocks around the chimney hole place an 18"x18" pizza stone (or larger) on them, then place another layer of blocks on top of the pizza stone for added thermal mass or just warming up foot warmer blocks. Design option: Build this with a double burn chamber and chimneys for more cook space and construct a simple oven over one side. Just think, fresh baked pizzas in a winter camp tipi and enough thermal mass to heat it all night.

Now all you need is the sneer for when the neighbors look over at your yard and see you making the pop-tarts they're unable to toast anymore. "Forgot about visiting the Lowes when you saw the news on TV, eh, Flanders?"

Just wondering if you could use a spark arrester partway up the chimney, or on top under the stove grill you set your pan on. We live in a place so dry in summer and fall that you wouldn't want to risk a single spark getting loose and landing in the dry grass.

You could put another mesh in the top layer of bricks and it should serve as a spark arrestor. The base is a Dutch oven cooking table that was custom made.

Hey, if you moved the top layer of bricks outward by about 1/3 inch, you might not need the grate. I am going to try this.
@4y6857
@4y6857 10 лет назад
Just a quick thought... If the bricks on the fourth and fifth levels were placed on edge instead of flat the height of the chimney would be increased, increasing the draw and subsequent heat at the top. Providing either higher temp at the cooking level - or - same temp with a lower rate of fuel consumption. I'm just thinking out loud. Haven't tried it yet...

About a year ago I built a Brick Rocket using your Pattern. Since then I've built numerous others using Freon Tanks, and an old grill to make a Hot plate Rocket that I do most of my cooking on. I plan on making a short Video of my old Brick stove and will give Viewers a Heads up to your Channel for the Brick Layout. It certainly made it much easier for me. Keep up the good work.

If you move that brick in front bottom position out of the way to allow air to be sucked in BEFORE the ignition point, then you would see a dramatic increase in temperature and output. As it sits, like someone else pointed out, it's only a fireplace with chimney. The idea behind a "rocket-whatever" is to use the heat from the fire itself to create an area of low pressure and then provide for a way to introduce colder air which is drawn into to the mix before the flame due to the colder air having a much higher pressure. This provides a higher density source of oxygen to the combustion process
@survivalcommonsense
@survivalcommonsense 10 лет назад
The brick in front is intended to serve as a way to regulate the heat. Actually, the biggest problem I've come across using the rocket stoves (I have four commercial ones) is that they're too hot, too fast. That's fine if you're boiling water, but it makes simmering and regular cooking somwehat of a challenge sometimes.
@Kube_Dog
@Kube_Dog 7 лет назад
You're wrong, dumbass. The brick you put down to lay sticks on ENTIRELY BLOCKS the air intake. Creating the air intake is the entire point of putting that mesh in there. That's what gives it a hot clean burn. Without that, you have a regular fire with a chimney, which works of course, but it's not a rocket stove anymore. Don't be a stubborn dick. Jeremy is right, and I'm right. Don't be afraid to learn.
@artsmith103
@artsmith103 6 лет назад
Kube Dog You really missed the whole setup. Rocket stove is too hot for cooking. This can be throttled. Also better to cook with larger diameter sticks.
@LLuE88
@LLuE88 10 лет назад
THE UTILITY IS GOOD BUT MIGHT CONSIDER THE HIGH HEAT LOSS TO THE BRICK UNTILL IT REACHES COMPERABLE TEMPERATURE IN THE BRICKS. THATS WHY THE MORE "COMMERCIAL" UNITS HAVE A LIGHTER INSULATION MATERIAL. MIGHT ALSO SLIDE BRICKS TO ALLOW A LARGER FIRE CHAMBER SO IT COMPARES TO THE COMMERCIAL / UNITS GIVEN TO SOME AFRICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES / TRIBES.

Look around at construction sites - you can probably salvage the bricks and then the stove is free. Or check out Craig's List.
