Thank you for this vid, it's below freezing, snowing and the power went out in the middle of the night. Your technique allowed me to cook and make coffee for my family using dead hardwood.

If you add another brick on top, it will work even better, easier to start also.Another note; The opening should face the wind.1. The wind feeds the fire oxygen directly, you will hear the fire roar on each gust of wind.2. The smoke will be blown away from you.3. The flames will be less likely to burn your pan handles.

Hi! Great and simple design!
 I´d like to give a little advice for better combustion and fuel effiency. Simply add a grate made out of a tin can into the hole where you feed the wood in so that the wood rests on the grate and fresh air can pass under the grate and enter the burn chamber from below. This gives the  fire a lot more oxygen, resulting in less smoke and a hotter, cleaner burn. Also there will be less ashes and residues left after the burn. For cleaning of the stove just pull out the grate and rake out the ashes

Finally, a rocket stove I can make using items on hand. No money, no hassles and you've proven it works!

wow...this is the most simplistic yet doable and best rocket stove I've come across....thanks for this video...

[wanderingwade]

Simple. Doable. Excellent video. There are too many 'easy' videos that aren't that easy.

[BipolarPics]

I like your videos. Straight to the point without a lot of yickity yacking and jaw jacking.

[MsHellaCity]

you could even add another cinder block to the back and have a 2 burner stove! great video! thanks for sharing

[MrJackswan]

Seriously, though, cool project. Thanks a lot for the video.
I think anybody who's browsed rocket stoves should be very glad to find this.

[anselmosaopaulo]

I'm watching your video in Brazil. You Are Genius !!! It's easy after you see how it works. Congratulations.

Here is an idea to regulate the fire, use another cinder block sideways partially in front of the air intake inlet to regulate the amount of airflow. Thanks for the excellent video.

This Video Is Awesome! Though Its Almost 6.5 Years Old, Your Stove Is A Great Idea If Things Ever Go South In This Country! Thanks For The Great Idea!

My family would do this whenever we ran out of gas for cooking. Wow.. it was almost 20 years ago. Still remembering the old times.. 😊

[jaybob]

Just slide the top block back to dampen the flame. The aft portion of that top block will still be plenty cool enough to grab with your bare hands as you slide it back. Great design!

[JacobsOompa]

Great job and simple inexpensive design....and VERY PORTABLE.. A second burner grate would be great for the open space to simmer or keep something warm in the meantime.
The stove didn't burn the needed to flip it sooner I am sure one will understand their stove as time goes up the great THIS....Good job.!!!!

You deserve the 3 MILLION views on this. Great idea!

[nalorik]

Thank you so much for sharing. I come from the small Pacific Island nation of Vanuatu (recently hit by Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Pam but recovering well) where such an idea would be perfect! Thank you again. Wishing you well in all your ventures.
