      Could you build this inside a fieplace, in your house. Let it cool

They laughed even harder when i built two of these rocket stoves using brick and other recycled materials. Now in 2020, the laughter towards what i learned finally stopped. One of my friends sent me this link asking if this is how it's done. Of course i said yes. Thank you for posting this.

      Thank you for the correction. I apologise for not checking beforehand. I was under the impression that the words were correct as I saw someone had posted a photo with the words on the popular social media site “f*cebook”, some years ago. I gave up browsing that site not long after that as my account got hacked, personal data stolen and used without my knowledge etc etc. I’m glad I stopped reading their posts anyway as, like the quote, most of what is on there is either fake or inaccurate!
      But I still have immense respect and admiration for Gandhi. I will double check before posting any quotes in future.

      This guy's demeanor, he wife asks is it good, he states: " it works for me ". That's the selfish demeanor that enslaved the chosen People, killed whole tribes and still lives and operates his bloody kingdom of the sweat death, rape, robbery and murder off the chosen and the price for that is neigh.

So this will definitely be something he learns to build. We live in an urban environment but nestled in the mountains so we still fish and hunt and are in the woods often. He will breathin how to do this in our back yard so he can know how to find the materials needed in the city. Thank you An Gar for helping our fellow people throughout that storm.

Even though the lovely lady was nervous, she REALLY did a wonderful job explaining the recipe and by keeping it simple, and taking her time allowed me to follow along, unlike other cooking shows that just breeze on by.
    This video has strengthened confidence in myself to know that I can potentially cook with a stove made of bricks, a piece of paper, and everything else that you need for the emergency fire could be found in ten minutes. I also picked up on how Bio conscious the gentlemen in the video was energy conscious and only used a handful of twigs, only what he needed.

    Cleaning the ashes out will need a shallow flat scoop or dismantling the thing, (which is easy enough.) Maybe leaving a trayin there, so when you are done, just pull it out. I went and built one of these using an old 7" saw blade as a ledge for the sticks, (I pinched it between the blocks). That way, you need only 23 blocks if you don't need any for the kettle stand. I also I put it on a small table I had around the house, so the dog isn't tempted, and I don't have to squat. Thanks, I've been wanting to make one "forever," and yours looked so easy, I finally got mine made. Thanks!

    Excellent vid, thank you.
    You'll get a very similar experience using a Dakota fire pit (often called a Dakota fire hole), if you are travelling I recommend the Dakota method; no need to carry any bricks, leaving space and weight for other essentials.
    If staying long term in situ, or making a semi-permanent camp, I would use your brick rocket stove because it has a sturdier cooking area, requires less calories to set up (no need to dig and can be kept long-term) and provides more effective cover from rain. Keep a spot of fatwood on hand for more difficult weather conditions and you are golden.
    A quick side-note, much of your early smoke is not from the paper; even when seemingly dry or mostly dry, pine litter (the needles) holds moisture due to the large overall surface area - it causes a lot of the white smoke. You might also consider using a little char-cloth, crushed charcoal or fatwood (never cook until your fatwood is completely consumed) instead of paper in an extended survival scenario; it's very sad to have to start burning books.

    This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. Building this stove could save a life during an emergency, at the very least it will keep you warm and dry and allow you to boil water....I'm blown away. With all the extreme weather and storms we have now in North America, people should keep the supplies needed on hand.
    I'm going to make one and keep branches on hand just in case our power goes off. Every time I prune back a bush or tree I can stack up branches and twigs to keep in a dry place.
    My dad would've liked this video, he was an outdoorsman for many years before he passed away, and likely made a stove like this when he was out in the bush.

I do have enough smaller landscaping bricks I could use in a pinch, considering it’s almost 1/20/21 and this is the first time I’ve ever felt close to a SHTF scenario. I ordered a propane stove, with the small propane bottles for a spare/backup plan, but when I went to pick up my WM order, mysteriously they had been omitted, and refunded claiming they were sold out. 🤔 it’s ok, I can build this rocket stove and we have enough of the things we need until we reach our bug out location.

      @Riaining7 Před 5 lety +5

      Yeah it's definitely an easy setup. Permaculture rocks!
      Some people make feed tubes, so you can literally get it piping hot, and then start putting much larger pieces of wood into it, standing straight up, and because it burns side-ways, you can literally walk away and let it burn the large block of wood without worrying about whether it will go out or not.
      This is truly a technology that exceeds all the store-bought products and conventional oven-based technology.
      People turn these stoves into advanced heating apparatuses by adding a Mass along the exiting pipe in order to soak up the heat and not waste any out of the exhaust. They become so efficient that all that exits the pipe is a light steam. There are other changes to what is made in this video which require a bit more preparation and more bricks or other material such as a drum or barrell, and in doing so they can actually create a fire-vortex inside the drum/barrell that burns and reburns even the very ashe that would normally leave the exhaust. The stove shown here is really simple and easy to do as they've shown.
      Permaculture technology is amazing.
      Thanks for the video and instructional, it will certainly help many people to do it themselves and get away from consumer marketing programs that sell cheap throw-away products, most of which aren't even made in America.
      Permies.com is another great resource. All permacaulture technology and discussions.
      Thanks again for the video.

    I have to say I made this darling little stove & tweeked just a couple things & turned it into the cutest zen stove for my patio.
    I bought one 16" x 16" base slab & set it on four cobble stones under each corner.
    Then instead of cutting a brick in half, I left the bricks whole & placed them so they protrude out.
    It added dimension to the zen design & I can set salt & pepper shakers on them if I need to.
    Before I added the top layer of bricks, I cut and placed a thin metal screen over the chimney then placed the last 4 bricks on an angle & closer together to decrease the chimney hole size. It makes it look like a decorative cap.
    When I don't need to use it as a cook stove, I set a candle holder on the screen part for ambience in the evenings.
    I have also set a battery operated color changing candle in the top for ambience.
    It's close to my water fountain & I love it so much!

    I spent a year and a half homeless in a tent in the woods behind a bad landlord with my now ex. He was the propane master for our camping cook stove that we rarely used. I was the pyromaniac who managed setting up the improvised fire pit, gathering wood and kindling, and cooking with the campfire. Something like this would have been great. I had to use mini bbq grills, or put a suspended grate over a peice of metal for the firepit. I'm in tx, and putting the fire directly on the ground is a good way to burn a hole in the ground and possibly set the woods on fire. So, a rocket stove as long as it's not in contact with the ground could work. I'm not homeless now, but with covid and the Feb ice storm that hit and almost caused a state wide electrical blackout, I'm almost in full doomsday prepper mode. I'm making my own emergency rations, preserving food, setting up my own mostly off grid laundry set up, learning how to make soap, and learning how to clean and dress wild game as well as dehydrate the meat in the feild. I still want to learn to forage for wild medicinal and edible plants so I can be more self sufficient in case distribution and supply lines implode. And I agree soups and porridge are a life saver when you don't have much to work with. I'm on fixed income and food stamps, and for almost 2 months my food stamps were cut off between mailbox probs and covid regs. I had no money to buy food, and fresh food was low. My stockpile including pemmican (home made by me) and fermented veggies allowed me to have lots of soups and porridge to live off of. I will say I almost got burnt out on that though

      @@flashlitestriker4028 CZcams has loads of videos on stuff, ive got a hard tack recipe down, and pemmican. I did a variation of those from recipes found on the townsends podcast. The porridge recipe I used is a offshoot of a porridge recipe found there that uses sourdough bread instead of grains to make it. I ferment lots of veggies for food preservation. I haven't gotten making bouillon or portable broth or aged cheese yet. I've got down making butter sour cream and yogurt. I'm focusing on making tortillas, fish sauce, and fermented lemons next. I finally got a chance to try making barbacoa, and it came out good. I've got loafs of things I'm still tweaking to get right, and things I still want to try. I've almost gotten home made spreadable butter right. I've gotten good at making fried rice and kimchi. I make my own vinigars too. Feel free to message me if you're interested in tips. I've got a reddit acct I post on sometimes under Missy5454. I'm not afraid to help and teach if I can. I'm not a expert though, just got waaay too much time on my hands with covid and decided to be productive with it by learning and experimenting

    In 1965 Our boyscout leader had us make adobe bricks, stacked them in a like fashion and lit it. The "bricks "cured" with the fire. He called it an up-draft fire stove. Your video rekindled (no pun intended) that great memory.
