Rocket stove

Built a few variations of the rocket stove this winter while the shop was slow. I'm looking forward to testing them all out. Anyone else into these?

 

was gifted this one. It works great, and very lightweight

 

Since this thread has been such a hit , I'll add my newest project now with 100%more ash catch

 

Looks good. I want one but I have zero use for it other than having a thing for fire type stoves.

 

That's my only justification as well

 

Yeah, I look at a lot of the stuff in the garage/shed and there is a lot of money sitting there in pieces and parts for ideas I just had to see if I could make (proof of concept for some semi-retarded idea I got in my head). I've probably got half a dozen penny/alcohol stoves sitting on a shelf that have only been fired up once just to see if they worked; I have never actually tossed one in my pack. I've got at least three fire pistons that I made from copper stub outs after reading an article about making them in Backwoods Home Magazine; the list goes on, and on, and... It's a sickness I tell ya.

 

Old thread, but needs reviving.

I built this rock at stove from a pair of old boat seat pedestals.


The air door also serves as the clean out door and it has a removable shaker grate that runs the full length.


It has a pot stove on the chimney and a warming plate to keep your coffee cup hot.


This photo was taken before I welded the handle on to the shaker grate.


I built this one from the shock absorber off an old Silverado, and the case of a small chinese refrigeration compressor.

 

I built this one as a project to learn how to weld

 

I have one but they burn to hot for cooking from my experience..... maybe im doing it wrong
