Just made this exact version thanks to you. Thanks for the info and helping me understand how it works. This version is the beat because it is gravity fed, the wood naturally falls in and you also don't have to bend over to insert wood. Also it's practically wind proof. I've never made one with the mouth to the side but I could see it causing problems getting the fire going with any wind. Just makes it easy maintaining the fire with wind eliminated from the equation. Also this version has I taller chimney than most, it has more suction and draws heat more powerfully to the chimney. Also as you said, the height is perfect, once again no bending over, very practical. I paid $8 at Lowes for the blocks and actually broke one completely in two when trying to hammer out the middle part. It went back together okay and I didn't have to make another trip to town. It's hard to imagine you could make such a good stove with just $8. What's wild to me is the wood insert opening isn't hot at all, all the heat goes up thru the chimney, even when the fire is on the otherside as you said. Thanks and happy stoving!!
I want to make an updated version of this and make a new video as well because I know breaking breaks is not easy and you have to be careful , But there are half blocks that you can get and there are other ways to do the bottom crossover like a simple hole in the ground. So there are other ways to build it without breaking blocks , Or by buying half blocks and hollow blocks
Home Depot sells what they call "Angelus block" which is exactly the cut version already cut for you-so convenient! Thanks for this design. I have access to as many free oak pallets as I want so will split and stack all I need. Currently I cook on my gas grill to save electricity because the rates doubled (went from $100/month to $200/month 😡🤯). The first month cooking solely on my gas grill I saved $80.00 so it's worth it and I like the gravity feed design 100% better, exactly what I needed!
Awesome tip about the blocks , thanks! I had the idea to discuss the half blocks and make an update but life has been crazy and busy so I haven’t made any updates yet. Thanks again
thanks man, brilliant
Build this to the outer side of a covered porch. Put a table with a chair next to this stove for mixing and prep work. Each night Rise your bread in a dutch oven over the final dying embers of the day. First thing each morning, stoke up the stove. Make breakfast and immediately after breakfast, bake your bread and any dessert for that day. After noon, put on your stew or casserole for slow cooking using the embers again. Repeat each day. Never cook indoors again.
May 2020 - I built this stove and cooked lunch for my family. It worked great !
Carpenter Family wow 🤩 thanks so much for your input feedback. Today was a good day 💯
After using it about three times, I disassembled it to clean out the ash. My old back didn’t like hefting the blocks around. I have a handheld grinder with a masonry cutting disc. On the bottom edge of the feed tube wall, I’m going to cut a square hole, 4 inches wide by 2 inches tall - so I can clean out the ash using a flat piece of metal stock bent into an L. During normal burn use I’ll block the hole. That will save my back as I’ll never have to move the blocks for clean out. ( Young folks need not worry about this. 🤠 )
@@carpenterfamily6198 my favorite way to clean a vertical feed is with a shop vac or vaccumm cleaner hose. Just stick the hose down in 🙏🏽 hope that helps
Finally something to cook on that's quick and easy to build, is smokeless and only requires 1 tool. Very informative video as well.
Thanks Wally, I’m sure it could be done with less tools or with pre made half blocks or something. I have had some ideas for improvement in my brain i just haven’t had time to implement them yet
I just looked up concrete blocks at my local hardware store and they have half blocks. Now I just need to get them to deliver enough for 2 stoves side by side. I'd have more that one pot cooking at a time.
Wonderful design; the slight design/construction variation is ingenious. Thank you for taking the time to construct, narrate, and demonstrate this design.
Thanks for watching and interacting , glad you like it 🙂
From all the others I've seen kid, you've got the best and most simplest idea of all. You're the BOSS. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this post.

Absolute best block rocket stove.
Thanks 🙏🏽 🙂
At the risk of sounding dramatic...with the cold that's coming this Winter (combined with the unaffordability of distillate heating oil) this could save lives. Thank you, sir.
Thanks 🙏🏽 for your input, appreciated 🙂
Frigging Rocket ship buddy ! Fat n happy. Gotta be the coolest block stove I've seen.
Oh frig yeah bud thanks 🙏🏽
Excellent, looks great... Gonna make one this week!! I collect rainwater for drinking, ice water, cooking, and baths... this will eliminate using the stove/electric to heat bath water!! Thanks for the great idea and info!!👍😊👍
Reduce Reuse and Recycle
i have not tested long term use of these blocks as they are not fire bricks, this was originally intended as a non permenant fun camp fire experiment, but have fun and be safe at your own risk. thanks for watching and interacting : )
Verry well explaned, a grate exampal of simple construction and neat rocket stove. Thanks, for making and posting this vidio.
thanks :) sorry about the sub-par quality back then
Thank you for sharing this design. It is the most ingenious stove of its type that I have seen, and I am going to try it. There is a device called a chip-heater that is used for heating water. This type of heater is made like a cylinder within a cylinder. In between the two is where the water is, and it makes lots of very hot water very quickly. It uses a cone insert that acts as a blast furnace when placed into the round hole in the top of the heater. The cone gets hot and sucks air mightily and blows it straight onto the fire. As the name implies the chip-heater uses small bits of wood and sticks for fuel.
Awesome. Thanks. I have made another one previously that burns pellets, with no auger nor blower required. I still have it but that one is made of metal
Excellent design and I like the height of the cook area.
Jim Gibson thanks 😊
I like vertical feed using gravity. But with one more enhancement you get three major more benefits.
On the vertical feed side, you also need to create a horizontal opening for three purposes.
1) First for free Open Air Intake horizontally. This way you can fill the feeder without blocking air.
2) After the fire is over, you can easily scoop out all the ashes, as right now you don't have an easy access to remove ashes
3) By having a side intake, you can control the air intake for fast or slow fire with a small brick.
This way you get the best of both worlds. Easy feeding and easy clean up.
Hope this helps.
Ben Hayat that’s the way most of my other rocket stoves and mass heaters are. Most of my other units have front access also. For this model I recommend sticking a vaccum hose down the feed for clean out
@@613Builds
Awesome.
Yes, I have revision ideas and easier construction method ideas I just haven’t implemented them yet. Could use a hole in the earth for the bottom crossover
@@613Builds I did exactly that, as I only had standard blocks on hand & am far too lazy to bother modifying them. Worked great in the Missouri clay.
brilliant
Thanks
Resonance. Like your style. thx, bro.
Good and simple. That's a great design. The 2 venturis are helping with the air flow, the stack being higher than the feeder.
You could experiment with varying the covering over the intakes to boost the flame intensity.
Personally I might consider covering the Venturi or experiment covering part of the Venturi , that way the feed box doesn’t get too hot to affect the convection and drawl of the neighboring heat riser
@@613Builds OK, sounds feasible.
@Donna Pack You could, but you would need the windows open so as not to die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Also you would soot up your ceilings something horrid.
Finally! ;-) It's different because it's a true J-rocket stove! Awesome and simple. Thanks man. Me and the boys are going to enjoy this. ;-)
Thanks Byron! glad you like it. simple yet effective. play safe, have fun and be careful if you break any bricks. maybe have one extra brick incase one shatters.
I have to incorporate a horizontal intake into my rocket stove. Good suggestion. For air and clean out.💫
This is my favorite rocket stove design ! 👍 The cinder block idea makes the most sense to me. Thank you for this video !
Glad you like it! thanks
Thank you very much for sharing your absolutely brilliant and simple design. I'm building one right away to boil birchwater! Sadly I did not know of this the week before for my maple syrup, would have saved me the propane. As a bonus it's a great way to get rid of all the branches fallen this winter. Me cleaning the lawn, that will make my wife happy! :)
Lambert Cusson thanks I appreciate the feedback 💯😊
What do you do with the birch water exactly?
@@wmluna381 you can boil birchwater to make syrup. Although because the water is twice less sweet you will need 80-100 liters for a liter of syrup. Because it's mainly fructose you cannot boil it as hot as maplewater. Be careful not to overheat especially at the end, finish on the electric range in a small cooking pot. The syrup is dark a little bit like sugarcane molasse but with a more complex taste. Torrefied frutty nutty caramel taste. Clearly the champagne of syrups. You can also drink a small glass of the freshwater every morning for a health cure, it tastes good and refreshing. East europeans haves been using it as a spring cure for centuries because it's full of minerals and vitamins at the end of winter. The birch starts seeping about 3-4 weeks after the maple start. Between 4-8 liters/day minimum for a medium tree, very seepy! Stop collecting when the water is not clear anymore (it's sap). Sadly the water does not keep very long ( refrigeration helps, have not tried freezing it though) but it gives generously for nearly a month, lots of water!. I use the same small tubes ( sorry I don't know the exact term in english) we use for maple and 4 liters water bottles( sometimes 2 per day) attached to it. I just filter it to get rid of possible debris.
Try it out, it's fun, if you have some time for evaporating 98% but hey, it is a good excuse to stay outside in the spring! This syrup makes nice base for salad dressing or marinades.
Good luck next spring and I'm sure there is plenty of videos about it on utube.
@@lambertcusson593 Thank you so much for all the information and specific details! That was great and very generous of you to share. The white river Birch is one of my favorite trees in terms of looks and function. There is a park near me that I think I can tap some in an out of the way place to get a feel for the process. I was planning to tap some mature black walnut trees on the property where I work as well in the next month or two. I like what you said about Birch being the "champagne" of syrups. Good to know. ☺️
@@wmluna381 Wow I would have never tought of tapping walnut, why not?
There is so much "untapped" ressources from our tree friends. My wife takes balsam fir gum to help with respiratory problems.
Please feel free to share the result of your experiment.
Next spring I might try to do some spruce beer, more like an un-alcoolic soda type that used to be popular here.
If not I will hug a tree instead. ;)
Omg thats actually an amazing idea
thanks poison pixie :)
Nice...thank you! ♡
Thanks for watching 🙂
I love this design! Doesn't require 30 bricks, or mortar, can be disassembled to store, etc. I've been researching rocket stove designs on YT to be prepared for what I'm hearing will come soon (maybe in December 2022) where we'll be "required" to get another "vaccine" in order to access our bank accounts, shop in a store, etc. and we may have our power cut for a period of time, so in addition to stocking up on food and supplies, having a rocket stove for cooking in case the propane in my BBQ runs out, is fantastic!
Ya we are too reliant on other people and sources for fuel, I agree. If fuel ever ran out, I’d go back to the good old days, wood stoves and horses 👍🏽 wood grows on trees, and it’s carbon neutral as well as sustainable if you are properly selective when cutting trees, such as dead trees or nuisance branches
Wickedly smart. Thanks! I wouldn't be afraid to double this up to have something more staunch. You could boil drinking water for a large family or do laundry with doubling something like this up.
chris hogan thanks
Good build,very useful.
wow i watched till end #5
S R Channel thanks for the support ! :D
That’s cool!!!
Thanks Ernie ! Glad you like it
I have the exact same design, leaning on my fence, unassembled. It works really well.
😅👍🏽
I have to say I underestimated your idea at the beginning of your video, Indeed it is one of the greatest and more efficient I've ever seen and I have seen a LOT of this kind.
Thank you, man, I'll go with yours
Guillermo Estrada thanks so much 🙏🏽🙂
Great work and simple. Didn't think about warming up the higher side of bricks first.
Ill make one of these since I have unused cinder blocks. Plus I have some old electric range burners which would be perfect to place the top. Thxs!!!
awesome ! :) thanks
I just made one for emergency cooking. Your video made it really easy to understand and build it myself. Thanks for this. 😊
Anita Frey thanks 😊 I appreciate your feedback 💯😊
I myself was wondering why people didn't think of this earlier. I was going to construct the same design only not as high but with the bottom patio brick and two concrete blocks.
Very good sensible design. I'm going to use a grinder with a masonry disk though to punch out the bottom block center. Good show.
Good idea. The J-tube and gravity feed is very common among rocket mass heaters , and rocket stoves, so this seemed like a no-brainer. I do like the match box or micro batch box but this is a simple and proven design. Cutting with a disc or using a hollow block would be a good idea ✅. I actually have a new idea that’s even more simple , might only require 2 or 3 blocks
@@613Builds I would like to see your new idea, please share it with us. I can't believe how easy you made this, it's amazing. Thank you.
Do you think that you could cut out the outside wall on the bottom cinderblock on the left side to use as an ash clean out?
@inspirationoillife8306 it’s only designed for temporary use but I always unjust stick the vaccumm hose down in there. Usually there is a lot of fly ash so a bunch of it actually goes up the stack sometimes
excellent demonstration
Glad you like it! thanks :)
Great rocket stove 😁 💖🙏🕊
🙏🏽 thanks 😊
Brilliant idea, I am going to make a two side by side. Double burner. Thank you
Thanks 🙏🏽 😊
I was thinking the same lol
Looks like something to try...I call it a 3-in-one rocket stove. Now if the rain will only hold out, but not looking great. Buster is a happy pup. 🐾 You must be Canadian...love the accent! New scribe. 👍🏻
😁 Canadian yes 👍🏽 thanks 🙏🏽 ☺️
I found a tall section of a terra cotta chimney liner that has a vent hole already in the side-I’m going to try to use that for my fire stack. My challenge is trying to hammer out one side of a cinder block for the bottom opening without cracking the entire block into pieces! 🤞
There’s another way. You can just dig a small hole in the ground and use the hole as the bottom crossover. Or hollow blocks or half blocks. I might make an update video showing how to do alternate layouts or use alternate materials
Great idea! I’ll try that tomorrow! Im excited to try out the top loading, rather than from the side! Much easier to feed it from the top!
Thank you for sharing your ideas!! @@613Builds
@@lorim4651 be safe 🙂👍🏽 take care
Good stove, as I understand it, the Dakota fire pit was a design we natives got from our fox den fires. Foxes build dens with the door to the prevailing wind for ventilation, if you punch a hole 2 feet in from the entrance, put wood in the fox hole, it makes a rocket stove. We discovered this when smoking foxes and small animals out of their dens..
Thanks 🙏🏽
I like yours best.
Thank you so much Sandra 😊🙏🏽 I really appreciate it
owww wow great job my friend:)
Thank you 🤗
Awesome vid : )
Thanks ! appreciated : )
looks great. I want to make one. hope i can do it without smashing the blocks
You can buy half blocks often, or a hole in the ground might work for a bottom crossover . I have ideas for an easier update video just haven’t implemented it yet
I would like to see it with just 1 brick rise instead of 2 great video.

I made a 4 burner rocket stone,grill,oven and it feeds from the side
Homesteading The Pioneer Way nice work 🛠
Very nice. Any issues with the heating/cooling cracking the block?
Thanks. The heat will eventually start to crack these type of blocks yes. But it works well for a temporary use or emergency use camp or survival stove
🔥😎👍🏽
Great video, only question is about the clean out. How much work is there on that, since it's a J configuration. Thanks.
this is a temporary unit because it doesn't utilize proper firebricks, but a vaccumm will work great. my other designs haave front clean out ports but i always prefer a vaccumm
Thanks, sir. I've watched many of these the last few days andthis seems to be best design and the first one I am going to try. This might be a dumb idea, but I have some old semi-rigid aluminun duct. If I fed that in to the output riser could I turn that into a heater where I could direct warm air as needed?
The exhaust can possibly be harmful so possibly as a separate fresh air heat exchanger, so long as the exhaust gasses are external and not inside the duct it might be possible but this is an outdoor model rocket stove. You might be more interested in a rocket mass heater which is different in such as indoor use and heat resistant materials like fire bricks
@@613Builds Thanks for the heads up. I'll worry about finishing this project before I concentrate on something else. I'm a new subscriber; look forward to a new vid notification.
"So Hypnotizing"
I agree , It's better than television . The fact you made a Rocket stove out of brick is like fire porn . I love the design , by far the best cinder block one I've seen . I'm gonna make this one for sure , maybe a couple around the hood .
PS - do you realize the dog is still missing ? lol the title scared me by it saying "BBQ" j/k
Thy Horror thanks for watching I'm glad you like it. The dog is in the original footage but I re-edited the clips and i may have removed that part during editing.
I don't think you realise just how versatile this machine really is.
I have more ideas for improvements and easier build ideas I just have not yet shared the updated ideas
@@613Builds I see this being used as a kiln, a forge, a trigenerator, a water heater, even as part of a blast furnace!
@@TheRojo387 wow that sounds very intriguing. i do have water heater designs as well, where the exhaust passes up the center of the tank, same as a propane hot water tank, in one of my designs. certain amount of forging is possible i knw because ive had some glowing red including my burn tube in the vertical compact RMH hybrid i made. it can burn pellets or biomass or wood , and it can cook food
I didn't realize concrete block could hold up to the heat without cracking, but this is a great idea 👍
Ya only for short periods of time. It’s a good emergency stove or camp stove, backyard experiment, but for longevity proper fire bricks would be more adequate. Thanks for watching 😎😁
@@613Builds your welcome and thanks 👍
This video would be even more impressive if people could see you boiling water or frying an egg quickly, to demonstrate the effectiveness :)
good idea. I might do a cooking video on this rocket stove soon. thanks for watching :D
good idea, but how to do cleaning after burn? and if you put any cook on the upper stove, that will dramatically reduce the sucking pressure to keep the air flow, what do you think to put something there to ensure the air flow?
Astro Boy use a vaccum cleaner hose to clean it out, or remove the brick from the base. Yes you will need to ensure the air flow if you cook on top , maybe a spacer
Dakota fire hole!! Yes!! I've used that technique many times camping. Great to keep fire contained and discrete.. When you are done douse it with water and fill the hole back in.
yes the dakota fire hole. classic. good tips. hey Wordzwurth i notice this old video of mine is trending years later, mind is i ask how you found this video? curious for analytics purposes. thanks for watching
@@613Builds I was watching cinder block rocket stove build vids and it came up
@@Wordzwurth 😎👍🏽 RUclips recommends search results ✅
When not in use, do you need to cover to keep rain out or is it okay to leave open?
It’s probably a good idea to keep it covered , not intended for frequent use but if you’re going to use it frequently you might have to replace blocks occasionally
Besides cooking does this put out heat to sit around it? I like this design.
The heat is almost “concentrated” over the “exhaust” area but it is still entertaining to sit around the fire 🔥 there is little outward radiation but it does a good job of warming the hearth
Nice one buddy, I like this shape in fact i have tried ti build One but when I put the Pan on the heat riser the heat goes back to lower part..consider There Is a good 5 cm from heat riser top to the Pan. Why that?
matteo try not to cap-off the rocket too much. you'll definately want a spacer or gill of sorts to let the dragon breathe and also so you dont burn your pan. its similar to forced induction only with natural displacement via convection of heat rising out of the top, so its almost like a slow blow torch in that regard so it can get very hot at the very top
And also how you will solve ashes flying on rocketing..when you have all food near the chimney.. but i will try my self soon..
Fly ashes are likely inevitable, but they are non toxic. You can use hardwood and firestarters to greatly reduce the amount of fly ash or have a lid handy for your pots and pans 🙂
I admit I was skeptical at first with the vertical feed. But you 'sold' me. Lol
Would it be a bad idea to use the part where you feed the wood as an additional burner to cook on?
probably a bad idea yeah, because thats the air intake. its odd but the flames get sucked down in, so the heat and flame doesnt really climb out the feed port unless the heat riser (taller chimney) isn't working properly. all the heat should be concentrated on burning the smoke and over the heat riser (taller chimney side)
How many have cracked on ya?
We tried it and two of our blocks cracked. So what do you do when they crack.
Rebecca Silveous I have to be careful when I chip the center block out but the normal bricks will eventually crack. Fire bricks are superior but this is just a simple camp stove for fun or emergencies
Great build may I copy it?
Sure ✅ I’d love to see people enjoy it. Maybe if you buy half blocks or hollow blocks it may be easier to construct
I did the samething with lot trash and a pumpkin .
stoking would be improved by removing the end part of the middle block, sort of like the shape R ?
Yes possibly . That might actually improve the drawl as well, because your lowering the intake air feed , which increases the riser to intake ratio. ✅ I sort of like the box for fire containment but I believe you’re idea would work as well.
Sometimes the lower the flame the better regarding cooking. No need to worry about soot getting all over your pot. A lot of heat is all a pot needs to cook. Less is more.
rocket stoves introduce so much fresh air and burn so clean that its almost impossible to produce soot. you are correct, sometimes hot coals are the best thing to cook on, but this hot intense concentrated stove is good for boiling water off-grid or camping / emergency. the best steaks i ever had were cooked over camp fire coals and marinated in budweiser :)
Save a little bit of chisel work and just dig a hole under the brick
yes thats a good simple idea !
I know they work very well, but I'm wondering if the blocks will start to fall apart from all the heat? I know concrete will explode from too much heat, but have yet to see if those blocks will or not?
They will eventually crack.
If you use wet blocks they could possibly explode
🧐👍
I use sand to seal it .
Good idea 👍🏽
Hi, excellent construction that fulfils all the rocket stove theories and practices. And gravity feed on top of it. Did you check if the narrow hole functions also as a secondary air source downwards? Does it suck air from there?
Ilpo Pölönen 😊 yes thanks, you are correct it seems to be a secondary air inlet Venturi style yes it does suck some fresh air similar to a p-channel 👍🏽😊
Does it get hot enough to fry fish?
It gets very hot 🔥 all the heat is concentrated at the top 🔝 be safe 🙂
How do you remove the ashes?
Stick vaccumm hose down in, but mostly there is a lot of fly ash. A lot of the ash goes up in fly ash because the drawl is strong 💪 🔥 💨
How do you get rid of all the ashes?
Vaccumm cleaner hose down the feed port is pretty effortless. That’s my suggestion
very good but I'm sure you could have explained it all in 5 mins
Sure I could have if I wanted to. But I don’t cater to the short attention spans, I’d rather share with the ones who want to watch and listen ☝🏽😎 so it’s not the content but rather the viewer demographic
"L" shape would get hotter.
"K" type allows for auto feeding.
I much prefer my own variation
Thanks for watching
The clean out must be extra trouble though. right?
can be easy with a vaccumm cleaner hose
The old truck vac good idea
What is the purpose of the first block being hollow ?
it allows the taler heat riser to act as a chimney and it allows the fire to be sucked in and down. its what makes the J-Tube work and connects the firebox or intake to the heat riser or chimney
Isn't it harder to clean out firebox with this configuration?
no its a breeze just drop a vaccumm hose down the feed port and/or the heat riser. let the vaccumm do the work. it might appear more difficult with traditional thinking or if youre looking for problems but if youre looking for solutions with new easier more efficient methods , the vaccumm hose works great!
How long before your fire is flaming up your feed hole? Still have to push coals to the back, only now you have to reach down into the brick to push coals back. I dont think you will keep this design.
I like the design but I think once you have a coal bed, you might have flames coming up the intake.
you have a leak or some other problem if the flames are coming backwards up the intake feed port. make sure the front is not open or seal the gaps with mud. if there is any other openings besides the intake and exhaust, you will experience flames coming out the front feed, which is not the proper way to build nor operate this block rocket. it works upon displacement, so the fresh air MUST come in the feed port and nowhere else. otherwise it will backfire. make sure you are sealed up as best possible so the intake can work properly. also as demonstrated, you must pre-heat the exhaust riser first. be safe
@@613Builds thanks
I love the idea of these cinder block stoves, but many comments say they explode with dangerous consequences...... which caused me to hesitate.....
Anybody have info on this ??
How dangerous are they ?
thanks bill! henry, these are not "firebricks" so they may eventually crack or fail sure, however i don't think they will explode either. that being said, some things can hold moisture in a shell and cause steam to build up but you'd need a very fresh wet brick with a shell on it so that is VERY unlikely but other things like soda-pop cans or anything with moisture inside a shell could explode. i'd say very unlikely for any block to explode, but if you want to be extra cautious maybe use only dry fire-bricks.
Why don't you cook something for sample egg or water or noodles.
Hi 👋🏽 Good idea , I want to make another video with easier build and improvements so maybe next time I will

Блоки рассыпятся от огня. Не долго послужит такая речь. Очень жаль
Gotta be kidding m e. I made one that required 5 cinder blocks and took half the time. 22 min to explain yours.
Well, I made this video well over a decade ago before the RUclips shorts came out back then people used to have a better attention span but it’s OK if you don’t have the attention span you can still do it with half the amount of blocks. I could explain an up-to-date video, and I could explain it much shorter, but I’m not here to cater to the people with short attention spans. There is a fast-forward option if you want but I understand this is an older video and shorter videos. Do better nowadays I guess.
Oh Please Drag this out a little Longer, grrrr !!
in my day kids had patience to sit through a 3 hr titanic movie. seems now they don't even have the attention span of a 30 minute episode. my content is geared toward the mature generations, i realize millenials and current generations have minimal attention span so i do now keep that in mind, not to gear toward them, but to gear towards what works for the future of my channel. this is an old video episode but i will continue to keep this in mind into the future analytics. thanks for watching
@@613Builds Please do not let the immature low attention span circle dominate how you handle your videos...you do an excellent job! I recently built a 46 red brick with a 6 cinder block base rocket stove. We made the feed opening larger by using that # of brick and didn't have to cut. Loved it so much in a matter of 3 days using it for grilling, bought another set of blocks and bricks and built one along side of it...now making it a side by side or double burner stove. Only wish I could post a pic here to share with you but I don't think I can.
@@613Builds Don't consider shortening your vids. You cover very well.
@@alessandriaj7265 awesome, good work, thanks so much. i do try to improve my content as much as possible and i find it's better now that i have some experience
You know if you hook that to an indoor flue and cemented the blocks togather for a solid unit and added an air controller on the wood intake hole you could operate that in a residence. And it's dirt cheap. $10 maybe and durable. It a very good heat mass collector.
Superb! I'm gonna do it 💫
No please don’t. This is NOT a RMH rocket mass heater. This is a temporary outdoor fun camp stove for yard debris .
A true Indoor RMH mass heater is a totally different animal requiring fire bricks and requiring a bell heat exchanger, requiring air tight connections. This is a temporary rocket camp stove , this is not an indoor rocket mass heater
Edit: also you cannot cover a vertical gravity feed, and you cannot cover a true rocket 🚀 because heat rises and it needs fast air intake to operate properly. If you cover the intake feed side even partially the heat riser will suffer from conflicting stack effects which is no good and can cause serious problems
@@613Builds Do you think it would burn through concrete if the blocks were cemented together? I realise it would operate at lower temperatures. I'll experiment with it outdoors before trying it indoors. I think you figure it's operating temperature would be too high if not damped down and damping down would reduce flow. The way to counter draft conflict is to make it a front feeder. Then no flue conflict,; no second flue.
@@josephpetrick3499 right, I do have a match box micro batch box RMH design in some of my older videos. It’s a front loader with a “front door” and the air intake is only 1.5” x 1.5” when the “door” is closed . Fire brick core
Cool video this is JESUS thank you 43 from call of duty black opps 2 I lost you as a friend on x box live did you delete your account
camodigital2 hey thanks for watching! :) I still have my account :D
Hearth is pronounced harth, not hirth.
Thanks for the clarification. After living in the Canadian wilderness most of my life I honestly didn’t know that, I always thought it was “herth “ like earth. Maybe it’s just me Canadian redneck slang lol 😜👍🏽
@Mr John 613 Builds English is an awkward language, even for native speakers. You can't trust the spelling to tell you how words are pronounced. The classic awkward words are the -ough ones. Tough and enough rhyme with each other, but cough, bough, though and thorough are all different.
In England, there's a village called Cholmondley. Most English people, if they didn't know, would pronounce it as choll-mond-lee. In fact, it's pronounced chumlee. There's another famous village called Beaulieu, which has a castle/ palace. If you know any French, you are likely to pronounce it as bo-lyer. In fact, it's pronounced bewlee.
Where's your air vent ?
air vent? i'm not sure exactly what you mean. can you be more specific?
