As someone who learned the hard way. Do not use cement for a fire pit . The water trapped in the cement will vaporize and the cement will explode. The explosion isn't dangerous but it will throw very hot chips 10 to 15 feet . And the fire pit just crumbles away
Biggest thing they should've added in description is give it at least a week out of the mold to fully cure and dry. If you've ever wanted to know what happens when you make a concrete stove that's still got moisture in it. Your gonna find out. And hopefully your far enough backwhen you do find out.
I love it! A few things to note though: First, add some silica sand to that cement to help it deal with high heat, but wear a mask when dealing with the dry sand. Also, hot firing wet cement is a good way to destroy it, possibly with violence. After the cement has cured for a few days at least, let your first fire be low and slow, to drive off any remaining moisture while avoiding a steam explosion. But while you are waiting for the cement to cure, you can easily carve it with kitchen utensils. Go nuts on that surface and personalize it! Use sticky wax to attach things like glass beads or tile mosaic inside the mold so they are embedded in the cement later. And put that thing on a flagstone so you don't burn the surface under it like in the video.
I think it would be far easier using bricks. And you wouldn't be discarding a perfectly usable plastic stool. Lay bricks into a square shape. Maybe 2 bricks in height. Add the metal rods between the 2nd and 3rd layer. Continue stacking brick, mortar, brick mortar etc. Then just add more metal rods between the 2nd to last and the top layer as your pot holder. Done.
Totally AMAZING to do this beautiful piece with such imagination! It's called using your brain to create something nice instead of walking around in public like a ZOMBIE with a cell phone in your hands almost 24/7! Real creatively is the key for accomplishment! Very good job indeed!
Why don't you put in your description the exact materials used, Eg: that solution that you brushed on and exact type of concrete and the rest on the information?
@@wisconsinfarmboy9232 If they want it to last more than a couple of uses without cracking, you need to use refractory cement. What is used in a fireplace or wood fired ovens.
This very well might be one of my favorites on this channel. I think I might attempt making one soon. I saw these plastic chairs the other day at the Dollar General Store. I already have the rest of the other materials needed. I might add lava rocks to mine.
@@michaeldillon8286 I try to use the finest granular cement you can find. I avoid the cement that has large gravel in it. It almost resembles sand. To be honest I can't remember the specific name of it. Instead of gravel in the cement for structural support I use layers of wire coat hangers. Do 2 to 3 inches of cement then do a layer of wire. Criss crossed wire. Horizontal and vertical. I made a couple of these. They turned out pretty awesome.
Concrete explodes. That's why fireplaces are built out of (FIRED In a KILN) Fired bricks and mortar. This is stupidity from an artist... not someone that understands that it's unsafe
I think the answer is...use the stove to heat a smoker and it would be perfect. That way you could keep the heat low...like no flame. Maybe just shovel in hot coals and wet wood chips. That would be perfect for a smoker., In my experience. You could modify it with some doors for ventilation and control the temp even more. Enclose the bottom maybe. Less oxygen the better.
@@cementstove can you please answer his question? Many of us would like to know how you managed to create this without the fracturing or possible combustion of the cement used.
Muito bem feito más creio que cimento não resisti ao fogo com o tempo ele estoura a não ser que seja um cimento especial apropriado para resistir a altas temperaturas.
Some of what is being seen as negativity is directed at the common safety of people who might try this not knowing that the product could explode causing serious injuries.
Very creative you are a serviver I work with concrete so overstand all that you are applying to the plastic bucket and the small table looks great start your business $$$$$ money 💵
Muy linda idea del chino esté. Pero hay un problema, el cemento al calentar tarde o temprano revienta y esa olla con sus contenidos van a volar por los aires😅
A good idea if you have an old stool lying around, if not flat pieces of wood would also suffice. Yes probably need fire cement. Will save this video to my book marks so I can adapt later..
tbh I think this would be interesting for a campground. The only initial issue I see is the fact it's so low to the ground. If you could somehow raise the platform for ease of use this might be used more.
You should try to find a different chair, that can fit an oven-pan inside it so you can use an oven-pan from a scrapped oven to collect the coals and ashes.
It's pretty self explanatory. Fill a frame up with cement. Put Styrofoam or other objects where you don't want cement to go. Build in right fashion. Let dry then test
@@NateThunder no because I've worked with cement and done masonry for forty years. I know what fire does to cement. Fireplaces are made of brick or stone and not plain cement for a reason. When you build a chimney with cement blocks you have to put a clay liner in it. Trust me that project is a waste of time.
@@shealdedmon7027 That depends on what he used. He didn't explain what he used. Some products are good at handling thermal expansion and correction. (I worked in a spring manufacturing company and used cement to line aging furnaces)
If you're not planning on moving them anytime soon or often, these might work well, but impractical if you're looking for a portable type of this burner. A metal one would work a lot better and most people probably know someone or can find someone easily enough that would weld some metal together to make one.
If you're going to go to the trouble of asking someone to weld something, wouldn't it be easier to just buy an already made stove if you want portable... or buy the bricks to build one on the spot? If you want >light< and portable, I don't think you're going to get that from a content creator called "Cement Creations"... Just sayin'...
That wouldn't be much of a cement creation would it? This wouldn't rust and would retain a lot more heat, depends what your needs are. But, you could put something similar together from a couple of old car wheels
Yes I'm nerdy on this but it's my job. The mix used isn't concrete nor is it cement, it's mortar. Cement is a constituent of concrete and to complete a concrete blend you need to add water, sand AND aggregate (usually 10mm or 20mm coarse limestone). Ordinary PC (Portland cement) will not withstand repeated exposure to the heat given off so don't run down to your local building suppliers for some - it needs to be something similar to what is used in refractory mixes. As for the mould oil, don't waste your time with vegetable oil, use a proper mould oil release agent. One final note to rain on everyone's parade is that this thing will weigh a tonne so don't expect to be able to take it camping!
Well, if somebody needs a mobile heater a metal stove is the choice. In case somebody don't need mobility (and have cement) the classic stove is better than anything else. For sure, bricks will be required as well. But construction from bricks is much stronger than pure cement.
@@cementstove You know for that little bit of extra strength I would have used one of those tomato cages in the form to give it structure not only around but from top to bottom too like a rebar cage since the wires are spot welded together, just cut it to shape. Great looking stove. Experiment with the design and give us a rocket stove version, just move the fuel input to the bottom, you could use a piece of pvc for fuel feed into the bottom and feed it wood chips or pellets.
Amei a ideia, muita criatividade, mas não precisa abrir a cadeira, podemos reutilizar, basta jogar água quente sobre a cadeira quê descola do cimento ok?👏👏👏👏
P.S. After cutting stool, mount two sets of hinges on top...using flat-head bolts.. re-use mold, or give it away ... so you continually re-cycle the plastic ! P.S. Adding perlite and water-glass to cement mix would raise its heat tolerance greatly.
Estructuralmente, las varillas para las patas eran más largas, creo. Así como las varillas intercaladas en el cuerpo. Y ponerlas desde l a primera capa. Creo que puede mejorar estructuralmente. Bien por la idea. Me gusta.
I think this is amazing, I’d never done this, no experience in mixing cement, could you include the proportion please of cement-water-sand? And how long did you have to wait until you took out the plastic stool and the styrofoam? Thank you!
from google = "What is the ideal cement mix ratio? As per the experts, the safest cement mix ratio for all kinds of concrete used in different construction purposes is 4:2:1. It means 4 parts of crushed stones mixed with 2 parts of sand and 1 part of cement will create the ideal cement mix to prepare concrete for all purposes." however, it is much easier to just get a couple of bags of concrete mix, and you just add water, but don't add too much water. probably find a guy who is familiar with mixing up concrete to help you.
While the idea is sound, anyone who tries this HAS to use the specially made heatproof cement: Where we live we used to burn our garbage or make barbecue pits from concrete blocks and metal barbecue grills. AND after roughly five to ten fires inside them, the inside block surfaces became so blackened and brittle the slightest movement of the block would make the inside crack apart. And the entire thing needed to be rebuilt.
I think this is a very clever idea. You put together a small cement cast stove that will work for little projects and cooking. Don't be bothered by those worrying about the plastic stool. Frankly I can't believe it. Thank you for coming up with an inexpensive, easy to make, clearly described solution for someone that needs a little stove outside. It's fire related. Anyone with common sense will be careful.
It will crumble after a few uses. You need to use refractory cement to withstand the heat without falling apart. This video is just a views mine, it isn't about being an effective item, it's about click bait.
I for one am not in the least concerned about the plastic stool. The real problem here is that basic concrete is not meant to be used in high heat environments. Heat will cause steam to build up, expand instantly and cause mini explosions, sending cement shrapnel flying with considerable force, possibly injuring those nearby. But it is a neat idea, just be mindful to use refractory cement, which is intended for heat applications.
So you are using portland cement and not concrete ? How much sand do you mix in the cement ? Doesnt it crack with heat ? Could you please provide a link for the top burner piece ? Thanks
I'd survive well with you as a team player. Outdoor Cooking Cuisine , people could even rent me to cook and prepare what they bring as they enjoy the outdoors.
