CAUTION wet cinderblocks may explode when exposed to high heat. Moisture inside will expand as it heats and may possibly crack/explode the concrete
This, this is very dangerous…
@@MagicSwizzle😳
Simple solution: cheap tablecloth from DG, wrap it around to keep it dry.
I've used cinder blocks around a fire pit for 5 years now and never had an issue
Yes. Concrete definitely will pop and "blow up" at a high temperature
My Grandsons had friends camping out on our farm. 13 years old, 10 years ago. They built this! They came in and asked for a skillet and eggs. Cooked all of us breakfast.❤. A great memory. Great breakfast♥️
❤
Great story. 🥰
So can river stones put around campfire
Use dry stones to make an edge
I've used one similar to this before, during a power outage that lasted almost a week. Some friends had the blocks stored in their garage so they were dry, and then put it together in less than 10 minutes. One thing they did was have a couple good size bundles of twigs also stored. Good thing too because it was winter and all the snow and ice would have made it impossible to find any. Set it up under an over hang that had plenty of clearance for smoke and kept it dry. That morning pot of coffee sure was good.
Cinder bloçks don't do well with the kind of heat that can be generated from a rocket stove.possible crumbling of the cement that's used to make the blocks.
@@charlesbecker8658 in an emergency it worked well. It may not be suitable for long term but we didnt use it for that. I stated the facts I had. It kept hot coffee and meals available to our families for a week during a blizzard. And my friends still used it after that occasionally during other storms.
When a blizzard happens it works fine, when you have no other alternative. For those of us that have survived blizzards we know it works! 👍
If you knock out the other side of the brick , you will have 2 stove !
thanks for sharing !
Ah smart
Great idea.
Right. 😂
Nice job. I solely cook on one of these all warm weather season until I can cook inside on my wood stove. My cinder blocks last a season cooking everyday or at least heat up water for morning coffee. A.couple of times I've gotten 2 seasons out of the blocks but seldom.
Say have you ever tried lining the inside with clay? Like any kind of potter's clay, used like daub to seal the cracks between blocks and line the fire contact surface. I've got plenty of red terra cotta free for the digging and I think I'm going to try that. Naturally I'm going to let it air dry completely before the first use.
@@newoneinblackI would think covering the outside with clay would help too for longer term use.
So, build one with fire brick.
Also, pine cones are great fire starters. They burn hard and hot getting the other twigs ignited. I use them in my wood burning stove whenever I have to get it re-started. Fall is the time to stock up on them.
Ah but fire brick completely defeats the purpose of improvisation. If I was going to order the fire brick from eBay, wait for it to arrive, and then build a shell to hold them properly with my welder which runs on electricity - oh wait I guess I'm going to be waiting until the power comes back on. But when it does, at that point why not build an actual wood stove?
@@newoneinblack Or go to the local hardware store and pick up enough firebrick and store it away in the event that something happens
Pine cones, huh? Do eat pineapple as well? Gotcha
@@beebob1279 So, why don't you go ahead and build a permanent case around the firebrick to keep it safe and dry and rodent free then? Actually that's the best solution anyway. If you're going to invest all the time and money into firebrick, and then to 'improvise' it right, and use refractory cement on all the joints, and add a chimney to get the right amount of draw - just make an extra stove for your shed and be done with it.
And you're very right about pinecones, they're excellent for driving the damp out of kindling.
I heard potato chips work…
Not only about building an emergency rocket stove, but learned that ashes are good if you have parasites!😂
What?
@@sielorstout1213 That's what she said. I don't know if that's true or not. If it is, how do you do it or what do you do?
Vaseline on a cotton ball gets things going faster, even when it's wet.
You can also knock out the other side of the cinderblock to have a double burner.
I've noticed on my block rocket stoves that the ones I've built out in the weather degrade much faster than the two I've had under some shelter. I think water may be the greatest issue in the break down of the blocks. Just my observation. ;)
Other than the stove exploding and possibly killing you, this is a great idea.
Watching from post-WWIII grid-down apocalypse, wondering how I was going to heat up the rat I caught for supper. Plenty of cinder blocks laying around since the bombs went off. Thanks for sharing!
Say hi to John Conner for me.
Lol 👍
You forgot your meds today, dude.😂😂😂
@@BigMama2022and u lost your sense of humor
Ukraine?
You can also save egg cartons for emergency fire starter. Put steel wool or cotton balls (dip in isopropyl alcohol). Cut a piece of an egg carton, one at a time
Oh my gosh!! I love it when your accent comes out when your talking. and this is a life saving video. Thank you for this.
I got some free fire brick off Facebook Marketplace and created a fire brick rocket stove. I have it covered outside. I tested it, boiled water in 10 minutes in a cast iron 12 quart pot that had legs on it but I also have a gas stove grate to use for other pans.
So, the emergency rocket stove can explode. What a great metaphor.
Being prepared for winter emergencies gives me confidence! Thank you!
I found out the hard way this can be dangerous. If the mix wasnt done right it can have air or water pockets inside and when super heated can explode with tremendous force! I didnt know this and when sitting back in our backyard it exploded and i ended up with hot coals and ash on my legs!
Good thing i had denim on!
Thanks. I got my cinder blocks😊
Maybe coat the cinder block with cement water repellant? Just an idea to keep them dry
Or use your BBQ grill and charcoal to cook or boil food.
Or bricks and a oven rack with charcoal on the ground under the rack.
Wood works, too.
Thank you for this instructional video. I'm alone in a small apartment and not allowed to have any sort of BBQ or fire pit. This just looks like something I'd use for plant stands, but a heating and cooking source when in need. ❤️
I built similar with rough slate and beach sand. It had direct fire, baking and stove top. Building it was almost as much fun as the fresh blueberry pie with granola crust we made with it.
Thanks for the Stove Idea.
Looks Great..
I have all that available.
Gonna Try it out tomorrow
You got this, it really is super easy!
@HomesteadCorner Thank You.
I will let you know how it Goes. 👍
That is too cool , I love that stove , lol , Thank you Jinne
You could add fire brick mortet layer over the block and it would last 7:50
I swear I learn a lot from you and I appreciate it. You got me in vacumn sealing…bought the bags you suggested in a video and they are great. This video was helpful as well….such a great idea.
Love your videos
Great video, and thumbs up for the warning about this not being a long term solution - the blocks won't last long and it can be dangerous, but in a pinch it's a great idea to get a dinner cooked if you're stuck.
This is what my weekend project is! Great minds think alike, Jinne! Cheap, easy and ready when you are!
Interesting. I was going to do one with number 10 cans. Thanks for the video.
Hi Jinne, this is a great idea! I've been wondering about how to do this. Thank you.
Might i suggest using a lintel block in the mix?
God Bless you from all us in the bible belt. Thank you for all your messages. May God bring you and your family thru what's coming.
Rebar makes good spacers and with some wire you can make a rebar grate to place under the pan.
Jinne thank you for sharing something that can be used in an emergency situation and also advising to be careful and aware. People need to use their best judgement.
Gracias por la advertencia. No querría que me explote el block. 🤔
Great video!! Thank you
Great video ! Always good to know alternative ways to cook food.
Great 💡 idea! Thank you Jinne! 😊👍❤️
This is a great idea!
Very nice i remember building one of these awhile back they work very well. Thanks.
Cool, a great short term solution.🔥
TFS HC, take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Absolutely love it
You can use the knocked out part of cinder block instead of the metal spacer on top
Wow thank you so much, I always heard about this but never knew how to do it!! Your channel is so informative!!!❤
Good idea. Good job on the video. Glad you mentioned the possibility of the block exploding if they get too hot. We had a power outage last winter but only lasted about four hours. This idea is good to know if it had lasted for days. We have a grille I cooked on one winter when the power was out for a couple days once.
You showed how you hammer out the cinder block side. I spent weeks going around looking for the right cinderblocks, and finally gave up. Your information is better than the many other videos I have watched !
They make a block that is U shaped for pouring lintels. They go around the top of the walls and they lay rebar in them and fill thrm with concrete.
You can get a few lintel or U block at builders supply stores. They are not expensive. They are made of a higher strenght concrete than regular blocks.
If you kept your concrete block stove covered when you are not using it the stove would probably last at least a couple of seasons.
I think wet and dry cycles as well as heating and cooling cycles shorten the life of the blocks. They get
brittle over time. You might consider restacking the stove every few weeks to rotate the blocks so the same ones dont get all the heat all the time.
This is a good emergency stove.
If i was going to build one for a hunting camp or cabin or off grid home i think i would get some red brick or fire brick and build a permanent stove out of those long lasting materials.
Aren’t Rocket Stoves wonderful? We have one made of fire bricks 🧱 that work great!! The grandchildren enjoy stuffing the sticks and dried pine needles inside.😄
I converted an old gas cook stove into a wood outdoor cook stove works to really good .
Let’s see the video on that, I’d be interested, I just made a smoker out of a 30 water heater,
What a GREAT idea Jinnie 🤗🤗🙏 Kendra
Thanks for the tips! Excellent tips!
Great video thanks absolutely love the ingenuity, You never know when things might change
Just use the block endthat you knocked off, to raise your pan up off the top cinder block.
Now that Beryl has passed through the Caribbean and wipe out most shop there is a lot of dry twigs around for boiling water to drink in areas cut off by down trees, most people always have 2 or 3 cinder blocks aound their property
Good idea 👏
Everytime you buy a new oven you need to take the racks out of the old oven. Come in handy.
Thank you. I've been wondering what I was going to do with the five cinder blocks I have.
For emergency use this would be right up my alley. I don't know how to operate outdoor cooking devices that use propane or butane or other fuels, but I do know wood.
Once upon a lifetime a friend and I were on a long distance bike touring trip. We camped one night at a quarry in Eastern Washington state. While making supper over a camp fire the rocks in the fire pit started exploding...yikes. Wonderful trip with unforgettable experiences. ;-)
for those that don't think first aid is a necessity....I just had an accident and punctured my lower right ankle...thank God I had some first aid supplies on hand. 😢 yall make fun of preppers. it's not about being a "prepper". it's having a simple supply that can save you. I went straight to my little medical bin, I'm bandaged up and we'll see.
Most useful video of the day! Ty
the simple things are always good...awsome stove..happy camping...
Cool!
If you plan to build one, maybe invest in fire bricks ? But yes, as an emergency, these cinder blocks work in a pinch.
I bought a rocket stove - I'm lazy, lol
Oh yeah, I use wood and charcoal in mine (EcoZoom). The wood gets it started, and the charcoal keeps it going (heat) so you can cook, simmer, or just keep warm/reheat food fairly fast. I've used between 4-8 pieces of charcoal and my "fire" (coals) stayed hot for quite a long time. Absolutely worth the investment, jmo.
There are the foldable, lightweight, more portable type rocket stoves available. I prefer what I bought for my use - you buy what you need for your use.
Excellent video Ginny, thanks !
❤ Blessings 👍🙏
Thank you for sharing this simple effective method.
Great idea Jinne
I rigged this up exactly a couple of years ago, just to see if I could do it fast. I guess we just think alike!
This is a terrific idea! Unfortunately, I will have to wait until January 2024. A must-do. Thank you for sharing.
🎶Hey Good Lookin' What cha' Got Cookin' 🎶😂 Jinne is having more fun with her fav matches. Great Share for alternate cooking method.
Excellent video and tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting...thank you
I finally put one together early in the summer. I used it to cook dinner on, and it was a workout! But it works.
Oooh, safety glasses, girl!
Very useful information in an emergency. I hope I never need it, but will store it away for the just in case California mishap.
Good idea. Thank you. I will try.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing
Handy tip, thanks for posting.
Adding clay, metal or fire brick can extend functionality up to permanent use.
Use careful monitoring to prove your customized version, and adjust to fit th need!
Great video and thank you, Jinne 😀
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
You have such a practical channel❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant.
It hammered out easily enough. Wow.
Very smart idea thank you
Glad i have a friends in the mason business 😂❤😊 never even thought of this thanks again.
Thank you!
Awesome video. I will be saving my dryer's lint and find me a cast iron trivet. Or a gas stove burner top. Yep, and I subscribed. "Prepare for the worse while hoping for the best"
thank you! so simple and so genially
I stopped by a used appliance store and picked up 4 of the gas stove burner grates for $2.00 each.
Thank you!!
We made a outside stove the other week ❤
In my 75yr life, those are concrete blocks. Cinder blocks look quite different. It doesn't matter what you call them, GOOD show.
@johnboy6916*
I have concrete blocks.
Several people here are saying the cinder blocks are dangerous to use.
Are cinder and concrete blocks the same? Thanx
Cinder blocks are weaker and should not be depended upon for heavy loads. They are more grainy looking (not as smooth) and a little darker than concrete blocks. My Dad built our house, while I was a kid, that's why I know a bit about that kinda stuff.@@Tess1984
@@johnboy6916 Thank you very much for answering my question... Good information to know....🦋🦋🦋🦋
There are paints you can use to make the blocks moore fire-resistant; you can also make metal inserts with rolled tin or aluminum to act as a barrier, that will help the blocks last longer. Eventually they will have to be replaced, but they are pretty cheap, just get rid of them once cracks start to appear....
THANKS FOR THE INFO ❤❤❤❤
PLEASE wear safety glasses or goggles when hammering those concrete blocks!! Great little rocket stove for an emergency, so thanks for sharing.
Great video!!
Thank you
I love this lady.
brilliant
Thanks
God bless!
