How To Make A Soup Can Rocket Stove | Perlite Insulated Riser

- I make a soup can rocket stove with an insulated riser to make it more efficient. Perlite is an expanded volcanic glass and is an excellent insulator. You can find perlite in the garden center as it is an additive for potting soil.

If you add holes to the bottom of the stove, and to the top of the stove, you'll have secondary combustion like a wood gasifier stove rocket stove hybrid, so there is barely any smoke. :)
Great tips, Melissa. Thank you.
@GreenShortzDIY you are very welcome, Tom! Feel free to make videos from the tips. It would be interesting to see! 🙂
I liked how you made this kind of "rocket stove" and plan to build a couple of them. I think a bail handle would also be useful for carrying it around. There is a bit of homeless folk in my area and I've wondered if a rocket stove would be useful for some folks needs.
I suggest using 1/4 inch bolts for the pot holder. The thread holds much better & bolthead is better on the pots I think.
Watching soup can vid and annoucing when a train came through reminded me of Fort Madison Iowa. They claim per "Capita" they have the highest train movement in the USA at an average of 1 every 15 minutes.
I just finished a similar rocket stove. I used strong wire mesh across the top to hold the pot and fire proof caulk to seal in the perlite after bending tabs over on the center can. We'll see how it holds up. Thanks for your ideas for my next build.
Note that when "Hola" is followed by an exclamation point, an inverted one precedes it. Spanish encloses exclamatory clauses like so. It also encloses interrogative clauses between question marks; the preceding one, again, being inverted.
Thank you for the info! I will adjust going forward! ¡Hola! :-)
@@GreenShortzDIYI speak Spanish myself.
The tray looked like it held up so that you could cook your eggs. Here is an idea that you could try; but, it might be more work than you want to do for something so small. If you want, you could use two pieces of the steel can and arrange the so that the ridges are at right angles to one another. The cut them into strips so that they could be woven together like a basket weave. It would be two layers that look like one layer. The basket weave would just make it pretty.
Hi Donna G. That is an interesting idea. Thank you for sharing.
@@GreenShortzDIYDue to the efficiency of such a stove, were it made of alchemist's clay, a material seen on Fraser Builds, then it could potentially "be its own kiln", as long as its draft were "capped" and forced downward around its outer surface.
John Fraser even states that he'd been trying to replicate Ancient Egyptian use of pots as kilns.
Liked your build. One potential fix for your sinking nails could be to simply cut some tubing to put between the nail head and the cement (like a washer, only much thicker) which should keep your nails at your desired height. Cheers.
Thank you, Roland. Great suggestion. Thank you for watching.
Those weird nails with the double heads used for tying off level lines would do the same thing.
Congratulations on securing your toes in style. Tom, you are amazing; even your tin can stove is a high technology device. Now you have got me wondering if I should nest a Rocket King mini inside the larger Rocket King with the addition of perlite between them.
Lots of leaves coming down in NE Ohio with accompanying branches and twigs. Time to fire up the chiminea for cool autumn weather and restful evenings. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and time with family and friends. Keep your toes covered! Peace brother
Thank you, JW. We had a hot day today in GA…in the 80s. Cooler weather coming this week. I sent you a discord msg about a cameo. Let me know what you think. Peace, brother.
@@GreenShortzDIY let me ponder the concept. I wouldn’t want to scare your followers off... although it is Halloween. Peace
Nicely done Tom 👍🔥
Thank you, Richard. Good to see you!
From my experience those melt quickly, built one out of coffee cans, worked well until I insulted it. Them it melted. I used ash to insulate it
Interesting. I’ll have to put it to the test. Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, these should be lined with refractory cement or mortar if you want it to last.
This is great!
Now you've got to grab your hobo stove and go jump on that train haha!
You can even put an alcohol burner inside where you feed the stove with sticks. Another option to cook with. :)
Use those nails with the double head thingie that they use to tie level lines off. The little secondary head bellow the actual head would stop the nail from sinking, keep them all the same depth, and just be all around better.
Great video! Insulating the vertical cylinder also improves the draft. 3 trains? Is that a record?
Agreed on the draft! And I’ve had a video with 5 trains, I think. :-)
By putting the cement in the bottom of the can doesn't that block the air flow under your pull out tray? Pretty cool build non the less.
The cement doesn’t block any of the horizontal can. That can comes in a little off the bottom, offering room for the cement floor. Thank you for watching.
oh ok I see thx for the reply@@GreenShortzDIY
Good job, a bit higher pot stands like you say and it would be perfect.
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
nice!
Thank you!
Looks familiar
Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Love rocket stoves. Would like to make a cob oven to bake bread and pizza. Also using found fuels. God Bless and stay safe.
You’re welcome, Joey. Good to see you. Hope you are doing well.
Maybe turn the nail upside down.
Thank you, Mark. Great suggestion.
I was just going to post that. Upside down, double headed nails with both the tops and bottoms of the nails bent 90 degrees might make a more stable surface for the pot to rest on (up top, pointed end) with the double heads providing more meat for the cement to cure to on the bottom.
Turn the nails with the head down.
Great tip. Thank you.
Increased efficiency ? Why ? It's a Rocket Stove ! It is for boiling water or frying an egg and doing using a handful of twigs. That is pretty damn efficient, not that it really matters much, the design is more about convenience than efficiency. You really don't want to draw more heat from one of these or you'll burn your food. You are not trying to smelt metals with one of these. There is a tool for every job the trick is to recognize its limitations.
"A rocket stove is an efficient and hot burning stove using small-diameter wood fuel. Fuel is burned in a simple combustion chamber containing an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface."
"Rocket stoves are better at combusting the fuel, thus using less fuel and producing less smoke, carbon monoxide, and soot."
"In field tests in India, rocket stoves used 18 to 35 percent less fuel, compared to the traditional stoves, and reduced fuel used 39-47 percent, compared to the simple, traditional, open, three-stone fire."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_stove
It was designed with efficiency in mind, they even won an award for that.
