    Thank you. This is one of the few videos on RUclips that really explains the core principles of how rocket stoves work. People make videos saying nonsense like.... "the sticks go in here and the riser should be this and that..." They don't explain the main principles like this video does.

    Downside : burns small amount of fuel quickly so will have to manually feed it, until the mass heats up enough to release the stored heat through the night (etc). Automated woodchip feeder is something to think about.

    The stove top was brilliant. I'll be using that idea at my offgrid farm. I have 2 questions about your rocket stove. I did not hear how much lye you added to the mix and it would have been nice to see how you 'washed' it. I'm wondering also why you made the riser hole go all the way through and what you used to keep the fire off the ground.

    • @t.h.o.r.

      I made it that way because i couldnt block the end of the pipe former on the day. In hindsight I could have cut a disc of plywood. to keep the fire up off the ground I poured a small mix into the bottom and let it harden.

    if you have to build another one I'd say carving the firebox and riser from expandable foam then split the bucket in half top to bottom a strip of plastic glued on one side to form a u-channel then a belt or 2 holding it together while it sets up. That would save a LOT of fighting with the mold.

      It's just water through ashes, and then test for strength. Floating a potato is the old-timey way of testing lye strength. I don't recall the details, but I'm sure they can be found. You'd re-run the water through fresh ashes to increase strength if desired. Potassium hydroxide (ash lye) makes a softer soap than sodium hydroxide (the sort sold in stores). Also hominy is made with lye--and I'm going to try that someday. I've made soap a few times.

      They'll both clear a drain too. Lye has many other uses-"sweetening" hog feed is one given on the label of some. I really don't know about chemical agriculture. I'm now regenerative farming.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_stove Dr. Larry Winiarski, Ph.D Mechanical Engineering, said a rocket stove has 4 elements. A solid fuel shelf the wood lays on, a 90 degree bend in the combustion chamber, an insulated combustion chamber 2 to 3 times as tall as the diameter, a pot skirt 1/2 inch around the pot and 1/2 above. He recommends Perlite as the insulation and the fuel shelf, chamber, and pot skirt made from sheet steel and cut with tin snips.
