Make sure your foundation is stable. We had to take ours down, rebuild a firmer level base on the dirt, and rebuild. (We had a leaning tower.) Took less than an hour. I keep a couple nooks for small fire starter and twigs and small branches where they will stay dry. Needing a stove in bad weather is much easier with dry kindling. I also learned to smear vaseline onto a cotton ball as a better fire starter for it.
If you have 4 pieces of rebar, hammering that into the ground in your brick holes will add to the foundation stability. With just a little ingenuity a 45-degree slant feeder can be added as way to self-feed.
Disassemble your brick Rocket Stove after you cook and boil water. Put each brick in a "shoe bag" ( to deal with soot) then put them in your bed to warm it over all, then shove them to the foot for a relaxed night's sleep or a day nap. I also will bundle several bags in a quilt settle my feet on them ... pull the quilt to my lap while I do clothing repairs or read, or crochet or meal plan or repair something... As you said, the stove is quick and easy to assemble and enjoying the residual heat is a benefit.
I built one like this earlier this year. It works so good, cooked soup on it! It’s covered with a small tarp for winter in case it’s needed if power goes out. I have a Vesta as well,but this is fun!!
I love Rocket Stoves. They are amazing. If people have the financial means, I would recommend getting a Kelly Kettle too. You can boil water at the same time as cook your food. 🥰🥰
Thanks for another idea on how to cook without a stove. Hope I never have to do this, but have a few small logs stored on standby just in case. Don’t have a fireplace or would probably cook in that and warm the inside of the house at the same time.
Thanks Jonathan,l think l have some bricks in my back yard, l will dig up some old oven racks or expanded metal.May get some fire brick.l think l can even put that together. Would be great for boiling water to conserve fuel,like butane and propane.😊
I don't have many bricks laying around but I do have a portable fire pit and also a burn barrel. Might these serve the same purposes for outdoor cooking? I also have an indoor recessed covered wood fireplace. Any suggestions for how to cook in these? Thanks for your great tips!
I just bought it on Amazon amzn.to/3ZbD1Xq. We picked up the block from our local hardware store. I bought the inner ring on Amazon too amzn.to/40LzUa4
Fire brick can withstand temperatures up to 2,300 F while regular brick start to break apart at 1,200 F. If you are using them on a regular basis you would want to go with fire bricks.
I collected the materials for my stove from my yards scrap pile. Red bricks, and found a couple of stove pot grates cost zero. Concrete bricks are a poor choice for a rocket stove the disintegrate over time. The pot grates are just one of the scrape I had not they will keep you from dumping your water in the stove and shattering the hot bricks. When I was done I put all the parts in my fire ring for storage.

I love my Kelly Kettle!
Great tips Jonathan!
Great use of bricks. Also as the weather becomes cooler, its nice to hover by the fire. Looks like you covered all the bases.
Thanks for another idea on how to cook without a stove. Hope I never have to do this, but have a few small logs stored on standby just in case. Don’t have a fireplace or would probably cook in that and warm the inside of the house at the same time.
Very good DIY build
Soup is “souper” easy 🤣🤭. You can use cinder blocks as well.
Good video , thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Thanks Jonathan,l think l have some bricks in my back yard, l will dig up some old oven racks or expanded metal.May get some fire brick.l think l can even put that together. Would be great for boiling water to conserve fuel,like butane and propane.😊
Great Jonathan, thank you for showing us this. I have to get some bricks. Happy trails!
Excellent idea. Thank you.
You guys are awesome. I have a back up brick rocket stove just in case. And your wright they go up fast.
Awesome!
Awsome , Informative video. Thanks.
I don't have many bricks laying around but I do have a portable fire pit and also a burn barrel. Might these serve the same purposes for outdoor cooking? I also have an indoor recessed covered wood fireplace. Any suggestions for how to cook in these? Thanks for your great tips!
Can you use any bricks? Or a special kind?
Can you tell us where you got the circular grate/containment system you have over the firepit? It's awesome, and just what we've been looking for!
I just bought it on Amazon amzn.to/3ZbD1Xq. We picked up the block from our local hardware store. I bought the inner ring on Amazon too amzn.to/40LzUa4
Wahoo
I have leftover pavers from the patio. Would that work as a brick substitute?
I would try it! Let us know how it works. :)
What is the difference between the bricks you used in the demonstration and fire bricks?
Fire brick can withstand temperatures up to 2,300 F while regular brick start to break apart at 1,200 F. If you are using them on a regular basis you would want to go with fire bricks.
I collected the materials for my stove from my yards scrap pile. Red bricks, and found a couple of stove pot grates cost zero. Concrete bricks are a poor choice for a rocket stove the disintegrate over time.
The pot grates are just one of the scrape I had not they will keep you from dumping your water in the stove and shattering the hot bricks. When I was done I put all the parts in my fire ring for storage.
focus more on showing the actual build in slower motion. The cooking part isn't important
I can't find the bricks.
Lol
Thank goodness you stopped opining on politics and git back to food. Your political takes were strange.
