Just found this today, got yourself a new sub!
Thanks my friend... the sub and support are truly appreciated! :)
Gonna try this over xmas with a 3" steel pipe at the inlet to see if I get a more intense heat, and better burn...Thanks for experiment 1 results..Nice!
I've made a few. They work great
Tips: Drill the horizontal hole at a slight downward angle to meet the chimney hole. (use a cordless drill if in the woods) Put it out for future use by covering both holes. Let it burn down in the original upright position and it will burn completely on its own. Unseasoned (not green) logs take a while to get going but last longer that totally dried ones. Keep your beer and schnapps cold 😁
Great video John! I never knew it could be so easy. I'm making one of these for my Scout troop.
+Survival On Purpose Thanks my Brother! Awesome that you're going to be doing this with the Scouts... would love to hear what they think of it :) Btw... really appreciate all that you do to get kids outdoors and instill a love & respect for nature in them... along with some good strong values. You rock my friend! :)
Brilliant! I'm guessing you can cap the top or bottom hole to smother the fire--hence reusing the log?
So happy to see your face! I'm glad you're making videos again, your tips are really useful! I work for an outdoor outfitter and I am always giving my customers your tips!
Super idea friend, i'll make a few of them all at once, i think they'll make a practical addition to my winter survival gear in my vehicle. Subbed you also, always happy to support a fellow angler...Cheers from Manitoba, Canada
+SwampDonkey530 Now that's a great idea... keeping a couple in the ol' vehicle during the winter in case of an emergency... thanks for passing it along. Thanks for the sub as well my friend... it's very much appreciated!
Tight Lines! -John
@@IntenseAngler you can use one (or more) as a seat while the other cooks your food :D Regards from Norway!
That's the coolest rocket stove I have seen yet. Self fueling and all natural!
"Count me in"
Nice rocket stove Jon! I will have to do one of these!
+guns4funcajanajustin Thanks man! Awesome hearing from you btw... hope all's been well over your way! :)
Make 1!? Im gonna make 100 :D
+IntenseAngler what a great idea .great video .
+Jane Gray Thanks Jane :)

Great directions! Our Scout Troop made these. We used cherry and had to use an industrial grade drill to bore the holes. Probably can use a "normal" drill with pine or a soft wood. At 1", the space is a little tight. To light, place a couple pieces of thin, dry kindling down the top hole. We use a long-neck wand lighter to light the kindling through the side hole. Airflow is very important! Do not put paper or anything else the blocks the air. Found works best with lots of air and turned the side hole into the wind. We used two this weekend at winter campout to keep water boiling, probably burned for about an hour, maybe more before we put them on the main fire. Just use three small rocks to set the pot on (Don't bother with the nails).
I was all ready to make one of these from another video in 20 easy step's. Then I found you video. Thank you for being straight to the point.
Definitely a great idea for a back yard get together, thanks for sharing.
Jason
Great video and idea. I'm trying to think of a hand wood auger (with removable handle) that wouldn't be too heavy to put in your backpack, that way you could use this method in the bush! Count me in!
+Darrell Holloway Yep, mankind has been putting holes in stuff long before Ben Franklin flew his kite. :-)
+Darrell Holloway You can always split the wood, burn the inside with some coal from pre-lit fire and use paracord or such to put the parts back together, nothing but an axe needed :)
KerrankiSuomee That sounds more like a Swedish Torch than a "rocket stove". FWIW, can't remember, if it was the bronze age or iron age that introduced metal augers. Prior to that stone & other materials were used for drilling holes. Who knows, our ancient ancestors may have made "rocket" stoves, too. No way of knowing for sure, since most if not all of the evidence was burned away. ;-)
+Oldtimer Lee I suppose it technically is but I believe that the swedish torch burns faster and on the split part too... This shouldn't happen using the technique I described because the air gaps are sealed.
I wanted to build one that would last, so I tried making mine out of concrete, but I don't understand how the starter works because I can't get mine lit.
Concrete doesn't burn. This is a disposable stove, as it uses itself for fuel. The stove cooks itself from the inside, and concrete doesn't catch flame like wood does. The whole "wood" part of this stove is that it burns itself to sustain a flame. Concrete won't do that.
Kyler Peek I know it's been a year, but I hope you've learned the internet by now. Rule number 1; don't feed the trolls
He wasn’t a troll. It was a joke! Jeez.
Excellent diy project for the home! I am thinking these would be an excellent way to have your camp/patio lit up. Sort of like torches. Count me in my friend! I think my son and I are going to do some experimenting! Take care -Chris
+Windham Woodcraft Thanks Chris! Definitely agree that these are great for use on the ol' patio. Hope you and your son enjoy making a few together... would love to hear how it turns out :) All the best my friend.... -John
Great Idea! Easy to do with electricity and not much harder when it's not available. Maybe just more time consuming, depending on which pre-grid option is used to get the intersecting hole. Not only is it functional, useful, it's a great conversation piece for family gatherings and other "enjoy the outdoors" type gatherings. Count me in.
This is awesome!!! Im not even gonna go to work tomorrow ! Gonna go cut a log and do this!! Thanks!!
Right on! I hope that you have an awesome time making this my friend! Definitely love to hear how it worked out for ya! Thanks for taking the time to watch and for leaving such a great comment by the way... it's very much appreciated!
Great video. I actually thought of doing that before. Glad someone took the time to do it and show it working.
Cool!!!!! If you go camping often you can just grab 3 or 4 logs and take them home with you drill and prepare them, store them in the garage or shed/ RV/camper/trunk, and take em with you next time you go.
Thanks!! I'm very happy that you enjoyed this one my friend :)
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment... it really means a lot to me!
just found this video on reddit, instantly a fan.
count me in
+Bryan Widener Oh wow.. that's pretty cool to hear that you discovered this over on reddit and stopped on by for a visit. Really glad to hear that you're enjoying the videos... sincerely appreciate the support my friend.
All the best.... -John
I use a Bushcraft Survival manual 1 Inch x 9 Inch Scotch Eye Auger to make my rocket stove…but if you have a drill, use it I guess. I recommend everyone care an auger wrench with them when camping.
Right on. An auger would definitely work great for this... especially while out camping with no power supply of course. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment by the way my friend... it's very much appreciated.
I got in big trouble for showing my Thai friend,
- "you not cooking anything"
- "you just light fire and not cook"
- "flung dumbdumb"
perhaps a non time laps video of start to finish cooking a stew or something please
That's a great idea John. I'll definitely have to do a video showing something cooking on this. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment brother... it's much appreciated.
Subscribed because of the extension cord joke
Ah, a man with a good sense of humor I see ;) Seriously though... thank you for your subscription and support, it's very much appreciated!
check out 'Swedish stove'. Same principle but done through sawing 2 cuts down to 2/3 of the log and starting a fire in the middle. Done using only a (hand) saw.
+ookiemand The Swedish torch/stove is definitely an awesome one as well. Posted a version of it awhile back... will include the link here if you (or anyone else) wants to give it a look. ATB -John

Looks great and fun. I was reading some comments try to find the drill bit size is it bigger then 1” ? Thanks
Thank you very much Lior. It's definitely a fun project to build (and use) for sure. To answer your question... the drill bit that I used here was a 1". I hope that helps. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment by the way... it's much appreciated my friend.
good to see you back with the vids john, just a tip here, a lot of people are starting to carry the scotch eye auger wood bit, which is of course a hand turned bit so as long as you had one of those there is no reason why you couldnt make this stove way off in the boonies, or failing that, you could make the swedish log stove type by splitting the wood into 4 and putting the log back together, then lighting the fire between the relocated sections, cheers, dave
Count me in.
I think I might start lugging a bit and brace along with me :-)
I was looking for "how to burn out a tree stump when I stumbled on this. After watching, I made one with the 3' tree stump in the back yard. Set up my bbq next to it. Awesome.
These things are so cool ! I use mine for a portable & safe fire place, I can sit it on my wood deck then move it somewhere else. When I show others, they are amazed. I guess small minds dont take much to entertain, lol
Good to have you back John! Very cool trick.
Count me in! (Though if I do win, Ill end up giving it away on my channel lol)
+RevHiker Thanks my Brother!
Will definitely try this at some point.
1. Does it need to be a very dry log?
2. can you make the hole lower to burn up a longer part of the log? guess you could if you had a long enough drill head
What a flipping awesome idea!!!!....always great ideas from intense angler...thanks!
Great timing, you just helped me with my holiday shopping. They will make great hand made gifts!
This is a great way to made due of a few, and have them on standby. great idea. one for the memory, i hope to adapt. thanks! new viewer! going to watch a few more, i have a fireplace i may just do this, and also perhaps a rocket stove .. right now i have a toolbox flipped open and it's elevated. it's a nice touch, but i may want to do more! anyways! thanks for sharing your talents.
I wonder how it compares to the Swedish stove?
Personally I would use it as firewood, but extinguish it as John stated for future use. As the bores get bigger you have more power ug, ug :)
This is one of those deals I've seen done, but never tried (same with a Swedish torch). Your simple step-by-step format is motivating me to go out and burn one now! : )
+CampfireTalk Glad to hear that I could help light a fire under ya buddy ;)
2:37 Ha ha!! More like "Intense Angler" Flames. :-)fun project will definitely have to try this.Totally "Count me in"
+Jon Durfee Was wondering how long it would take for someone to catch that and comment on it, haha ;) FTW Brother!
Never seen a stove made like this before. I did see a video where a guy made one similar but out of concrete. He used a 5 gallon bucket as a form and 2 pieces of pvc pipe to make holes. Not for camping because it weighs close 100 pounds. After concrete cured he removed the pipes and cut the bucket off. Can't remember the link. Wait, I think I see it on the side here, "A heavy duty $6 DIY Rocket Stove" by Cooking Different.
Hey John its nate I'm glad ur back and making videos again because I love fishing camping hunting and basically everything about the outdoors. And you make me thrive to keep doing the things I love. I just want to say thanks
+complete angler (Completeangler) Hey Nate.. awesome hearing from you man! Really glad to hear that you're able to get out as much as possible and enjoy doing the things you love! All the best to you my friend... -John
Must log that. Easy as falling off a log. Ok, I'll stop before I trip.
Damn, never thought of that!
Good stuff!
SORRY JOHN I have used this idea for over 30 years and i use a hand auger in camp NO POWER DRILLS FOR THIS MARINE OH-RA!!!
Very cool. I will need to bring my cordless next time. "Count me In"
Went from looking for a wooden rocket picture to this. Great great great. Can't wait to test it. And excellent channel BTW!
goddamn, this is good survival info. You just got a new subscriber.
Yeahp, 1 more, I m in 2
Man, that looks sweet! Thanks for sharing this one with us buddy. Always cool to see what you have cooking. :) - Chris
+inspireAson Thanks Chris... really appreciate that my brother! Hope the weekend was a great one for ya man :)
I have made several of these and they work very well.
Crazy russian hacker just put this vodeo out a few days ago. I knew id seem it before and clfrom a channel im already subbed too
Another idea from IntenseAngler to try out. Thanks and Thumbs Up! Congrats on over 150,000 Subs!
1st video of yours I've found. Love your style man
Thanks man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment by the way... means a lot!
Not bad for a tent stove.
But those Swedish style fire logs split and put back together with a small between the pieces gap can go forever if you replace the slices one after the other with fresh pieces.
I will Defiantly have to try this one!!! I usually cut a 10"-12" diameter log star cross pattern top to mid way down, Swedish Torch style, This might be Better!!!
I don't know if it would be worth packing the extra weight but an old-fashioned Brace-n-Bit drill with a big auger bit would make pretty short work of making a rocket stove like that. I know they are pretty heavy but you don't need anything but muscle to power it.
There's got to be a good way to do something similar with just a hatchet. But now I'm interested!
Dev Sorrell There is a way. Here ya go... hope you enjoy :)
ruclips.net/video/elNZ0x2tQsw/видео.html
Wow Lovely Really Very Nice,Simple,Useful And Easy. We Can Make Its At Home Before Going To Camping And Use It There.
You could probably figure out some hybrid between this and a Swedish candle/torch. I was in a garden centre in The Netherlands once and they were selling swedish candles... just a log with a couple of saw cuts. I thought these would be great things to have a few in the garage for extended power outages. I have a rocket stove for that, but you could give away the single use ones to friends.
Cool idea mike you could bring your cordless drill to make one if your going car camping good alternative instead of making a large fire less maintenance!
Sort of the modern day version of the Swedish Stove where you split the log into four equal pieces. Love it John..
+mobiltec Definitely. Gotta love the good ol' Swedish Torch/Stove... easy to make & works great. All the best my brother....
Awesome! Great idea and great Video. Thanks for showing.Greetings from Germany,Micky
At least just one more thing to make this video a really effective one, which is to light up the stove without using a lighter as a fossil fuel that just wastes such non renewable energy and rubbing a stick or any other concepts could be better!.......
I have seen you having that pice of that log a couple years ago. And just the other day i seen a few guys cut the wood in querters and i have seen it fall down. And another guy made it from cement and concret. I say there to heavy and now other heat outside only inside with fire. That one i do not like. I like the one that's made from wood. And i like to thank you for utting on RUclips.
Google ecozoom rocket stove. There's some nice ones and they're sold online. Every Homestead should have one for when Society melts down you can always cook your food even if you don't have electricity or propane
Very cool. Added to my things to try list. I'll use my scotch eyed auger or sometimes I find logs with hollow centers.Count Me In
John, that is yet another top tip my friend, just Awsome.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Al.
+alan roberts Thank you very much Al, I really appreciate that. Cheers my friend....
what a great idea im going to try it ,but in the woods with a cordless drill ,i just love being in the woods thank you "Count me in "
I think this idea would be great if you are doing car camping. You could drill a couple of logs at your house then have these logs at your camp.
"Count me in"
That's pretty cool ole buddy!Good seeing a vid from ya bro, thumbs up!~John
I lobe this concept I know and have used a rocket stove as well as a Swedish torch which very close to this. But it looks like this will burn much slower than a Swedish torch and more practical for cooking on.
Tried making one..didn't work..all my fire did was burn out from trying to light it.maybe I need some boyscout firestarter aka gas
I always enjoy your videos and hope the best for you and your family. Count me in.
Looks great so I had a go but it was unsuccessful. Because I only had a short bit and maybe I cleaned the hole too wellbut I haven't given up yet, lol.
3 plunge cuts top to bottom with a chainsaw nock out center. Prop up bottom for air. Tinder and fire starter down the whole from the top. Boom done relax Great way to use up pine after a bit it will burn on its own. Super hot can melt cast aluminum if not careful
does it matter what kind of wood you use? i tried it with pine and couldn't keep it burning. had a nice wind to help it along, turned it into the wind (side hole) and tried angling it away also. nothing short of dumping gas on it would keep it burning. also i have forced air heating and had the log sitting on top of that to dry the inside out as much as possible for several hours.
I had a friend make 1 once but it was an?idea & had never done it before, only had a hatchet to use & was lucky some of it was rotten already. Will definitely remember to do it this way though
Rocket stove? ummm no, does everybody just make up or borrow names from other things when they don't know it's real name?
Count me in,
nice cookstove for in a base camp for making breakfast and afterwards for the campfire in the evening
I’m definitely doing this when I go camping later this year!!!! Fucking rad
Good stuff John! This really works well with pine due to the high resin content. Count me in!
+matt4270 Thanks Matt... much appreciated!
Tying smaller, short branches together with wire or cordage will save on the power tools and work as well ... just a thought. All the best.
Nice ::)
... I tend to be in the woods so end up splitting them and then tying them together... I finally using a wedge when tying them together sends more air through and makes it easier to light inrougher conditions...
ruclips.net/video/4r0V0CXZo_Y/видео.html
Thanks :) I hear ya there... I do something similar as well while out in the woods (kinda like a Swedish Fire Torch I guess you could say). Great minds, eh ;) Really appreciate ya taking the time to watch and comment by the way... means a lot my friend.
Good video - like the use of fatwood - Will try lighting mine with a piece
So much work 4-6 inch log 4 slices same length duct tape wrap the bottem of each with duct tape then tape them together. coupletwigs to start it good to go! more fire length longer longer logs feather the insides to help it start!
Ive been trying to get mine started most of the day but cant get a sustainable fire going, any ideas? Im running out of Rum and patience. thanks.
SUCH a relaxing voice. It makes me feel like I'm drinking coco in a nice warm cabin just listening.
+jessicamshannon Thanks so much for the kind and generous compliment Jessica. Speaking of a cup of coco and a nice warm cabin... that sure sounds good right now :) -John
Loved it John we used them all the time.. note a great off of a gas cooking stove works great... Just don't let Mom know you took it....
Cool video ! And for the giveaway if you can send the items to Canada.... Then count me in !Thanks
Very cool, wonder if you can control the flame height by partially covering the side hole? Count me in!
good sharing bro..i am going to do this soon...thanks for sharing bro!
You're welcome brother! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment... it's much appreciated!
I can see it working at a campsite. The kind of cooking I do is mostly wilderness. My pans couldn't take that level of flame very well. Now my iron skillets at a lake site during a holiday break is fine. But for backpacking, we trust our white gas stoves. Its clean, doesn't risk fires (unless someone in your group is Eagle Scout or Order of the Arrow), and makes striking camp easy.
LOL You don't need a really long extension cord, just plug your drill in a current bush.
Interesting! Would be nice for a backyard cookout.. Count me in...
Can't wait to do this! Scoping out my neighbor's trees for a candidate.
Looks like a very good item for the prepper crowd. I'm gonna have to try this......
Thats the first time I have seen this type of variation. Pretty neat! Ya you can count me in bro!
+TomsBackwoods First time, eh? But you're the fire master bro ;) haha. You're definitely "in" btw :)
Hope you and Teresa had an awesome weekend my Brother! ATB
Great idea. I have a bunch of logs in my yard that will no longer be taking up space.
Why wouldn't this work if several holes were drilled a round a stump to remove a stump.
What a cool project this would be for a chest-high stump (currently serving as a support for a wire poultry fence) on my ranch. After slaughter & processing, the bird could go straight onto the rocket tree-stove! Very interesting idea.
Thank you.
Wonder if it would snuff out (plug both holes) to avoid the water wetting so you could use it again next day...
+Woodenarrows Yeah.. if I plan on using it the next morning to brew up a hot cup of coffee & some breakfast, I'll just turn it upside down and plug the air/feed hole with a rock... wake up to some still glowing coals inside and an easy fire :)
Can be done with a chainsaw: 1 cut down thru the center of the log- the 'fire-cut'- to a few inches above the bottom of the log, and 1 side cut halfway thru connecting bottom of fire-cut to air supply. If the fire-cut slit is too narrow, make a second one at 90 degrees to the 1st, carving an "X" down thru the center of the log.
Great idea! We're going to try making one of these tonight!
Boat Krazy Thanks! Hope it worked out great for ya :) Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment btw... it's much appreciated!
Well, we tried, and failed. The wood we tried doing it wasn't fresh and not seasoned, and a gallon of gasoline wouldn't have set it on fire! We're not detoured, and will try again.
