I built a Rocket Stove!!

[Dan J]

So I've wanted to build one of these for ages.
I managed to cadge a piece of 110mm steel tube and then put my mediocre welding skills to the test.

I enjoyed making it, despite having limited metalworking experience. Seems to work pretty well. I had been worried that it would be a bit unstable but its pretty heavy so it won't knock over easily.

Sorry if the video quality isn't up to much. Its only the second one I've tried editing together.

Now to do it with sliding components so you can pack it

Great little stove! welding skills are certainly neater than any of my attempts!

Good stuff, what will you do with it? Seems a bit too small for large pots and too big to carry around?....

 

[scarfell]

Nice build! Just needs a little flap for inlet air control

You made it simple enough for me to consider giving it a go! Had a few ideas of the years for building a stove, they never seem to sell them just the way i'd like lol

Brilliant job and the pot stand,very impressed with that simple but effective.

How long to boil a litre of water?
Seriously though that's a nice little project build, no frills and very functional.

Hi folks. Thanks a lot for the support and the feedback.

I can see what you mean.
I mostly plan to use it on camping trips rather than carrying it around anywhere. Usually I'm only boiling a kettle or cooking for one or two people.

A great project you have done, could do with a breather/air regulator, I still have one of these on my list of projects to do.

Now that's cool.
