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.
This is the video I'll be recommending people watch when looking to build a rocket stove. Excellent and detailed information.
Thanks- It was interesting to pull out the old ones that Ive made and play with them some more
Your horizontal rocket stove is truly brilliant!!
I think so too! lol it is so easy to cook for a family on it.- Thank you
Tis a good idea indeed.
Great video. The first time i've seen anyone MIG weld with no shroud lol. Apart from that, great!
Its gasless- no need for a shroud with no gas
You sre very smart , thank you so much ! Oklahoma 👍
Well done! Simplistic explanation of how they work I've ever heard... Warts and all... Nothing edited👍
Good to see you the other day, Nice use of the nails you were getting from the pallet well done
ha ha Tim obviously!
Thank you friend........For a very comprehensive video.
My pleasure! checkout my best rocket stove ever- The flatbed rocket stove- ruclips.net/video/5JMhsdpMNHA/видео.html
Love your work mate - excellent presentation/explanation/demonstration. I can see the time you've spent researching your projects and trialing various methods
I mean, i can see you're a great ponderer and tinkerer
Many thanks Corin !Its great to get this kind of feedback.
Another great video. Thanks for explaining it so well. Thanks, for explaining about the ash in the comments.
Any time! I enjoyed that one.
@@t.h.o.r. Your utterance of "lye" was misinterpreted as "lie". Maybe I can correct your subtitles for you? (Even if you say "ley" as I do it's likely to misinterpret that as "lay". Lye and ley are the same thing, btw.)
Awesome, now I cann make some fire brick! Thanks :)
I think those are just awesome. Thanks for the great video
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing
Great job sir. Well done and big Thanks!
hey- I love that fed back!- thanks so much for taking the time to comment David- Search around my channel for lots more stove and burner videos
Superb ! I love the skill & research in your presentations!
Well explained. Cheers! Like the little gas bottle stove, perfect size I reckon. Is there welding involved with that one?
Just tack welds- it could be riveted together though. Its made in three parts. The riser and the flame box get slipped in though the holes and the vermiculite/pearlite/crushed pumice is fed in at the same time. then 4 lil spotwelds hold it together
Very good job
Very good
At 6:25 I've seen those from quite a a long time ago(years) but great information. A guy named (channel name)
Pekka Leskelä built many stoves in 2013
Nice! New subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
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.
Ur 4 pot J Stove looks like a variant of little Korean ondol, cheers
13:51 Never forget to wash your ash. It’s the best way to get the big chunks out…😁
Haaha- I laughed too when I heard what I had said! Thankyou for having a warped sense of humor!
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.
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.
Brilliant
Never saw that link for more info. I've got a new rocket stove idea but need to study the physics more.
Brilliant !
Id like to know more about the ash part...couldn't hear what youd said.
What happened to your anaerobic plastic treatment plant?
the insurance risk outweighed the benefits 😂
Nothing is new under the sun. Things go in and out of fashion all the time. It was probably developed on the plains of Africa 20000 years ago.
The Batchbox rocket and the Walker Cores are new advancements.
Great video, very informative. What size flue pipe did you use when making the rocket stove. I'm struggling to find some at the moment. Would I get away with using a plastic 4inch soil pipe?
Looking forward to building one.
Have you seen the rocket oven that permies built. I can send you links if you like. Keep up the good work. Thanks David
It was 6inch flu. It honks with a length of flue on it.
@@t.h.o.r. thanks
@@t.h.o.r. Influenza at six inches?!
A garden hose fitting inside the bottom of the bucket will develop a 40 psi tool to help get the bucket off.
Safety tip make sure your hose has the least amount of air possible.
A scrap of bucket lid in the bottom of your bucket mold will be needed.
What a brilliant idea! I used to make fibreglass bonnets and boots for Escorts back in the day and had an air fitting in the middle of my moulds to help with seperation
Any more info on the antique rocket stove at the end of the video
No but they were a common thing back then before LPG and heat pumps
I'm not sure this will work in all situations but we spray concrete forms with diesel fuel so they don't bond. It would be an easy fix if it works for ya. Rubbing it with petroleum jelly should also work. Good luck
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.
haha- you are dealing with a guy here who has a little cry when I bust a $2.00 bucket. Cut one in half!? - Gulp. I need some time alone to come to terms with this. I hope you understand?
@@t.h.o.r. well I suppose you could alway continue to tear the things you're trying to cast in it in half. Also if you need buckets pretty much any farm will have hundreds. They'd probably GIVE you as many as you want. I know I would've when I was working the farm.
Maybe use a cement board tunnel they use to make base of a picket then burn it...
I was thinking of building one out of box section steel and stacking bricks around it to heat a small glass house would it work or be a bit of a overkill?
a great idea. - just start researching and see what size people arc building- its a great way to use up all those winter tree trimmings
@@t.h.o.r. I was thinking of building the model K version as I think that the wood self feeds into the fire.
I was also thinking of packing old bricks around it to retain the heat over night .
I made mine from a gallon paint can and some plain old bean cans with clay cat litter for insulation.
Hey mate, did tell us how much ash u put in the mix, cheers Graham
A lot. I use the same amount as the cement and the pumice. Ive not had one fail so far. I make all sorts with this mix
@@t.h.o.r. cheers
You did not mention how much lye to add to the refractory mix. Please advise
True!- you add as much ash as you can to the waterto make the strongest alkaline you can. Like 50-50 by volume. then add enough of that to mix it to the right workable consistancy
If you put a plastic bag, repurposed of course, inside the bucket before pouring your concrete mix surely that would leave it easier to remove the bucket and similarly a bag, or cling film, around the plug/stove pipe would also aid in easy removal? Or am I totally wrong? 🤣
Haha- dunno- Im learning too- next one I do will be sewer pipe cut in half then taped together again with masking tape. Thanks for watching my video
What is the best procedure to do it from a gas cylinder? especially to prevent a tiny explosion.
Maybe removing the valve and throwing a match in there (to make sure) and then cut it with a grinder
Let me know how you go.
@@t.h.o.r. ok
Fill it up with water then cut the top off.
How much lye did you use?
as much as it takes to make cement into concreete
I'd like to see the lye making process in full.
Are you feeling soapy Kath? Its very simple- Just burn wood down to ash and soak the ash in just enough water to cover it overnight- then pour it off and sieve through a cloth.
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.
Thankyou, yes would like to give it a go.
@@wadepatton2433 Isn't potassium hydroxide the same used in growing things? Was wondering if you happen to know of this is organic fertilizer?
@@l0I0I0I0 potassium hydroxide is lye that acts nearly exactly like sodium hydroxide in the process of saponification (fats into soap). The notable difference there is it makes a softer soap rather than a hard bar. I actually blended the two when I last made soap (shave soap).
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.
Pearlite is very lite weight
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.
