Put Ur drill in drill mode and not on the clutch setting that's for driving screws so u don't overdrive them

Interesting observation sir... too bad the hatchlings never made it into the food below. If the system were placed inside the chicken coop it probably wouldn’t matter if the hatchlings found their way to the coop floor. Wishing you and your family a blessed weekend. Peace brother

DIY ay nakakahangang gawain at nakaka challenge at medyo magastos hahahA

Kamusta..

I have this very set up. How has it been working for you since you did this video?

A stove big enough to heat 55 gallons in the barrel, then pump to a radiator and fan set up at the other end of the house. Hot water heat transfer and the rocket stove at the first end. Nice stove and video, well done

Temperature inside not become to high?

I know a lot of people don't like it and some really hate it, but I use glyphosate or triclopyr. But I don't spray it, I use a paint brush and dilute it much stronger than when used in a sprayer. I hadn't thought about using duct tape, though. That's a great idea! Thanks!

Thank you which one was lighter in weight and heat resistance ?

Definitely helpful

Nice first one. Like a Dakota hole stealth fire on the high ground.Im going 2 standard size 2 inch thick blocks and 5 two hole 8 inch blocks.👍

The problem with this is you would fill it faster than they can eat it, also they poop which would eventually fill the bucket too

They found the bin so fast and grow even faster. I like the new bin. Thanks!

Hi, can we get a tour of your chicken coop? I love the design and I was going through your videos to see if you have a video of the build, but I didn't find it.

Mix in a bit spoon of pea protein, a 25kg bag costs $100. Makes all the difference. And if in a cold environment a big spoon of brown rice flour to keep the metabolism up.

I would oil the bucket.if it sticks to bucket i will just cut the bucket afterwards.

Yummy... I’m sure the chickens look forward to seeing you visit them. Peace brother

I'm super-excited about your design!! Awesome. DIY foam. I have an air pump from my sister's flat tire that I fixed in 20 below F. northern Midwest weather two winters ago!! $30 I thought we were supposed to pay $350 for a foaming agent device? hahaha. thanks

They'll get used to it.

Are you leaving a leaf for the larvae that escape too? Just a snack to keep them healthy before meeting the chickens. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Thanks Tom

How will adult get in to lay eggs, and what/where is the medium for the eggs to be laid? Have you worked that out? Also, I love the simplistic design.

due to moisture (dew) that occurs quickly in closed bins (I had a similar set up as well), many have climbing out already. You may have lost 50% because the dew that forms at night (overnight) allows for mass exodus. BSFs do not like being wet at all so when moisture forms, those ready to go leave asap. So you'll need to completely sort out a more intentional "exit". Good luck!!

Most curious... have you looked at the larvae under magnification via camera or microscope? Does the moisture allow their paws, fingers or appendages create and release suction? Inquiring minds... Peace brother

Wow. That is just the opposite of what I expected.

Chickens are so funny. I often find myself talking to them and explaining things to them lol. Great video and I really like the simple design.

Maybe problem was color ... maybe chickens don't like blue ... ???

How do you toss the compost when its FULL of larvae and avoid squishing them? I have a million and I really need to sometimes when i add new vegetation

I probably would have used pipe tape.

I used two 5 gallon buckets for my compost bin. I used the larva to give to my bearded dragon when he was a baby. I supplemented his cricket and roach diet with the BSL What I didn't give him I put in the bucket with wood pellets and kitchen scraps like watermelon rinds and carrot peelings, I didn't and still don't have chickens; but, if I lived in a place where I could, I definitely would. I live in Washington and the soldier flies might survive the summer, even though it is not very humid; but, I think our winters would kill them off.

Welcome back Tom. Good seeing your design and fabrication process on this channel. This is a great recycling project if you have chickens. New motto for this year, Safety first and science second. Peace brother

Chickens are like cats - it's quicker and easier to leave them alone and let them figure it out.

Chicken psychology! I'm always amazed at what you can put together with the various connectors that TinkTube offers. Great design Tom!

Our chickens would always prefer to scratch their food off the ground than eat it from a bowl. Strange birds. Could you do away with the catch-tray altogether, if it's going in a chicken coop?

I did this late last summer and it worked on English ivy growing way up a huge maple!!!🎉

I have been searching for a way to kill vines with minimal-to-no collateral damage. This is PERFECT! Thank you.

Great idea never thought of that can really build on that, maybe use screws nuts washers and work on the burrs thanks I'll keep an eye out for your content.

Did you deal with flys? I had a massive invasion we even with 3k soldier fly larvae.

Thanks so much for this!❤ I'm very interested in how to achieve different Temps on a rocket stove. Could you do a thermometer test with different size fires? I'd just like to have a simmer for keeping food hot but not cooking it further. For food safety reasons. Maybe just elevation of cooking surface somehow? 🤔

I saw a video of a cement stove in a metal can. They left the metal can on it (which would protect the concrete)- along with the handle.

You said a while ago that you were going to rebuild with a new design. Is that on for this year?

Hello Sir Your concept is great. One thing you mentioned is that you had smoke, you should have another opening at the back for sir flow then you would have less smoke as you have two openings in front so it's block no air flow meaning less o2 . I hope I was at help

Absolutely Fabulous Job

It's a version Micky Ds, possum style. Free fast food.

So sorry for your loss. 😆😆😆 And his or her gain. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. That was so cute.

To be fair to the little fella, he did at least look a little contrite.

Remember those little latches that you put the eyelet on one side and have the spring-loaded latch on the other side and you just hook it in. And then let the spring load a deal latch 2, you can latch one of those in there where it just stays open right on the inch and put 1 on each end that way they can't. Squeeze in, and then that way you won't ever have it open enough for any big animals to get in there and eat the stuff. Just don't. Maybe you might think about that. And I mean, they're cheap, I just bought some of them 42 ninety 94 a pack of two

Maybe a cone type chimney baking the top about half the size would create more draw from the bottom, and would ignite the gasses more and be much more efficient.

i suggest not using abbreviations in your title. Are we supposed to know what the letters mean?

Good morning Tom. Great seeing your smile on YT. Enjoy the possum’s visit; they too are an integral component in a healthy ecosystem. Could have been worse, we had a family of skunks setup home in our compost bin. Not a pleasant surprise when showering them with egg shells. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather. Remember safety first and science second on all projects. Peace brother.

Opossums are dangerous! They have a mouth full of needle sharp teeth! They also too often carry rabies! This is no laughing matter, call animal control NOW to get rid of it!!!!!
