great idea but id go and find a local scrap yard and find a few old big paint tins and a tube of metal much cheaperand better than buying 2 good cooking pots ,and make it that way ,ive used old gas and oxygen tanks in the past ,to make rocket stove very much the same ,,if you live in the black country plenty of scrapyards about or in the midlands
Another way to start the fire is to put bigger wood on the bottom and smaller wood at up layers, the smallest twigs on the top and then light some soft paper or tissue to start burning the twigs. This will make even less smoke. We do this in the wild to build self feeding fire and it lasts longer and burns almost all wood. hope you give it a try.
Interesting project. I don't think you needed to drill holes into the bottom of the larger pot because the bottom side holes would provide the intake air. Also, maybe small embers could fall to the ground. I might try one myself.
Was fun making it, I thought it might get even more air in the bottom with the holes plus there's a metal tray underneath to catch stuf. I must admit it works well once it warms up for a few minutes. It's prety much smokless around here, no chimneys just central heating so it really tickles me to have a great flame but no smoke to speak of so the neighbours don't even know I have a fire lol. Thanks for the comment.
Might be 'smokeless" but not that efficient. I don't see much blue flame at the top openings, but lots of high yellow flame that is probably just managing to be smokeless because they used really dry wood and have lots of air coming in everywhere.
How did the tape hold up? Thinking of using the same tape as a sealant for a stove I'm making out of a little 15ltr galvanised incinerator garden bin (converting it to a rocket stove).
It did let a little flame through the odd overlap and I'm guessing it won't last too many fires but to be honest I had the lids too so I've cut the lid so that it l just covers the top where the tape is and I've tapped it around again and it's holding up good for now.
Mush you have to do more vids like 👍I was in stitches. Made my fookin nyt mate 👌Loved the project aswell 😆 Edit. Mate your selling yourself short at £875.95 it's definitely worth a grand at least pmsl
Lol, to be fair I was thinking of doing more if people liked it, and just noticed it's had a few thousand hits lol. Crazy, great too so yer, ol think ov something else. Thanks for the comment.
Build smokeless fire pit, proceeds to light a cigar. I guess you just miss the smoke after all, lol. Nice looking portable fire pit.
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing!
I like your style good job
Make the top secondary combustion holes bigger.
Well done to you really done fab job
Para ti este trabajo debio ser tu obra maestra, en mi país le llaman de una forma muy muy distinta

Enjoy my friend
Larger holes on inner fire chamber base will make it perform better.

usually in our village we use coconut coir for cooking and usually it is very smoky, can you experiment with it?
Pretty cool and even cooler that it was made from spare parts. Could you use that to make charcoal?
Thanks for watching, I have no idea my friend, I only use this to cook with and in anticipation of 3 hour blackouts.
Barnaby...Perhaps you should read an article on making charcoal.
I don't know how you can get rid of the ashes...I guess business sucks.
2030? good I have time to think about it. Lol
Now now then haha
3 legs is more stable
Tell that to the guy who tumbled the 3 wheeler over himself.
