    Stack one more block on top, creating a taller riser, and you'll get closer to having something that functions like a rocket stove. What you show in this video has very few of the characteristics or geometry of a functioning rocket stove.

    Why an H block? An H block causes the tinder feed to be at the side. If the sides were opened (making an E) instead of the ends the tinder feed would be oriented differently. Is there an advantage of one over the other?

    to everyone who keeps saying "ItS NoT A CinDeR bLoCk ItS CeMeNt!". thats a distinction thats no longer relevant because cinderblock is under the same linguistic umbrella as "kleenex" or "coke". Its a colloquialism meant to refer to a largely standardized object made of nondescript, vaguely durable blocks of calcium based synthetic rock. If you're going to be pedantic, be pedantic well. Its cinder blocks made of cement because "cinderblock" refers to form regardless of chemical composition. Either learn how to be pedantic or stay in your own poorly maintained lane.

    Did you realise that you didnt have to cut the complete section out at the end of the block? if you had stopped at 1:55 that would work and cause a stronger updraft for a cleaner burn, but I assume you was copying someone else so didnt experiment with it
