You don’t get the enjoyment of a open fire but a better use of your fuel supply and if your not asleep after eating all that yummy food you can still build a fire for entertainment
I work with Tools in Maryland, USA. I watched 5 men make these stoves, and 3 of them did more dangerous/stupid things than i did as an apprentice. It was good to see a Real Craftsmen "Git-R-Done"! - Nice build!
And I bet they are all still alive. Sometimes to be creative you gotta do things differently than the norm. Great inventions were made not following what u were taught but by branching out.

Thanks mate! I work in metal craft and have grown fond of overlanding and outdoors camping and this is perfect! Easy to make and resourceful. EDIT: thanks for the layout template and nice looking welds!
Well it’s 11pm and I’ve just watched this and now I’m hungry. Very neat and quality work there Scott. I can imagine it’s hard to get these jobs done when you’re in between both places. Thanks for the video.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Excellent, I look forward to that. I understand you'd have so much on with trying to get set up on your block so I appreciate your effort in posting the videos when you can.
Simple but effective stove. Not too complicated. I like the angled feed tube. That wouldn't be too hard to build even without the big tools, just a hand held grinder and a welder. If you didn't have a welder you could find someone who does and pay a bit for them to do the welding. Good video, nicely explained and demonstrated.
That rocket stove is a bloody ripper Scott. I look forward to the day I get myself metal working tools. Man that Makita metal compound saw made a huge difference to yr cuts.👍👍🙏
This is a neat little stove! awesome build. For the tight welding corners they make tapered gas nozzles so its easier to get your gun in there. I learned that from Kurtis over at CEE
I have made 3 of these rocket stoves must like yours, I just have different legs on them. I am making a other one now. People seem to like them. Yours are very good, keep up the good work.
Fantastic work, Scott! 😃 Something like that would've been fantastic when my parents were starting to clean the place and build the farm house... So I guess it's going to be really useful for your construction! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
When I worked as a welder, the machinists used to tell us off for using the bandsaw for hollow tubing because it always mangled up the teeth on the blade. I noticed it drifting on that angled cut, and it brought back memories.
There are those in every trade that like to assert their incredible knowledge on others ;) It's all about teeth per inch (TPI) and surface contact, and speed. You get that right and it's perfectly acceptable to use a band saw. The saw you used may have been set up for cutting heavy material. Yes my saw may drift. Sometimes it needs resetting and sometimes I'm too lazy.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious All good, Scott. I was just remembering my own mistakes and getting banished from the bandsaw by grumpy machinists. They had that tool set up for cutting solid shaft.
Great little project. Hope your winter is going well. It's been a hot summer up here in Western Canada. Nice for a change! Rocket stoves give you such a good heat to combustible ratio. Always an excellent choice. Cheers.
Hey Scott. Nice addition to the bush kitchen mate! I reckon life in Wondy is gonna be great for you! I look forward to your projects, they're always educational.
What an awesome little cooker! 👍😎 I would have made the top grille much finer, and removable for cleaning, so I can do flame grilled steaks and burgers directly on the grille. Flame grilled is so much tastier than pan or hotplate fried...
Great job Scott. I’ve been making these for a few years now. I make an optional pellet gravity feeder insert version. Took quite a few goes to get the feed just right. I’m toying with the idea of fitting a length of 3” exhaust tube about 2.5m long to a 180’, then back down to about 1.8m, with another 90’ elbow, then it goes out through a panel that fits into a window (only needs to be clipped into the frame), and then a final exhaust flue. It would be as an emergency backup, should we lose power for an extended period. We lost power for 5 days after a storm in May 2019, which was tough, but at least it wasn’t the depths of winter. Cheers from southern Tassie.
Thanks for your message Andrew! Yes there are lots of adaptations for the stove and your idea sounds interesting. I used mine again a few nights ago, uses very little fuel to cook up a good feed. Thanks again and all the best.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Simple and efficient. I'm surprised there's no grate, back opening or front door for the wood. Apparently it's not necessary.
This is so awesome. I'm gonna show this to my husband and you gave a new subscriber here. 💪😁Keep up the great work. WOW. Just impressive. I wish I could stuff like this but my hubby and Son do the welding😁😁😁
Cool build, woulda maybe made the pan support adjustable height-wise to give you a bit more temperature flexibility beyond the amount of material in the chamber. Nice vid!
I’m building one for a project in school out of 1/4” wall 4x4” square tubing (like 6mm wall and 100x100mm roughly if you use metric measurements) How would you make it adjustable in height?

I remember in the early days of my engineering apprenticeship when I was welding a structure, the foreman who was about 60 years old, wandered over and said, "Hows it looking, is it square?" I looked at him and said, "Looks pretty close to me." He went off his head, saying pretty close, this is precision fucken engineering and you says its pretty close, he then asked for my square, eyed it up and said, yea thats pretty close alright and walked away. It was OK for the foreman to say it was pretty close, not the boy.
Very nice build, excellent, but the walls are not insulated, I thought all rocket stoves had insulated walls to increase the draw.

Thank you Tony. I will admit I am no expert on what classifies these stoves. Others have said that Rocket stoves must be insulated. My experience using this stove is once it gets hot it works much better and has that nice draw. It work well. Cheers.
I made a k style rocket stove here recently. I noticed my feed tube & air tube are about 5 inch’s longer than yours. Does it make a difference with my air tube being longer? Does it hurt the airflow? Should I cut them off or just drill some holes closer to the front?🤷🏼♂️ Thanks in advance, any info is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I really haven't tested tube lengths sorry. Just thinking it through; if the air intake is longer there is potential to get more airflow obstruction. How well is your stove going, that's the best indication? They take a bit to heat up and get going initially, but once going it should give good heat and draw in that air. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious my stove is not to bad , I’ve tried it a few times, it just don’t seem to roar like some stoves I’ve seen on here do. I got a small pot of water to boil in 20 minutes, it was just hard to keep it boiling. Thanks for the info, and quick response! I might tweak it, or I might just keep trying it ,…and it might be good enough. Thanks again!
In the legs? No, not in this case. Good question though. The rear leg would get the most heat, therefore have air expansion. 4mm thick tube with 3mm caps on the feet is pretty strong. A tiny hole would give peace of mind I guess.
It's a matter of controlling how much fuel (wood) you use and when you cook. This is a simple stove. It has no adjustment but seems to work pretty good how it is.
G'day Nick. This one seems to work just fine without a grid, perhaps as it has two air intakes. I made a smaller one with a grid and it's hard to say if it makes a big difference or not. I have a scoop that helps clear the ashes as it burns.
This was a good alternative to the open fire as it was a bit too windy that evening. Spuds were delicious.
:)
I never thought about that - thanks for the advice!

Much appreciated!
The cool things people come up with! Such a cool simple design. Seen this around but, never watched a build vid before. Nicely done! Good on ya.
That cold cut saw was a cool addition to the video. Gave a nice cut as opposed to your grinding 😄😝
True ;)

I enjoy watching your metal work, so clean and precise, and your welding is mint...
Nice build!…. What I could see looks like you’ve got a nice little shop going. Thanks for post…. FYI I’m from East Texas.
Thank you Tom! I've since moved into my new much bigger workshop, though I'm yet to organise it properly.
That rocket stove is a bloody ripper Scott. I look forward to the day I get myself metal working tools. Man that Makita metal compound saw made a huge difference to yr cuts.👍👍🙏
Thank you Elwood. Yes the saw is pretty good. It takes a little bit to get used to.
I love that I’ve been watching your channel long enough to see your welding improve so much!!! It’s really neat to see and I love your work!!
Built like a tank! Thanks for sharing the build along with the dimensions. From Montana, cheers mate!
Cheers Paul!

Or for really tight areas ... stick.
Awesome mate, sometimes I feel like I am one of the tools people work with 😜
Haha - me too I guess :)
Got myself one of those shirts to wear when in virtual meetings 😜
It's better better than I work with Knobs I suppose :)
Beatiful job! Like you always do. But I guess, the top grill should be better if it is removable. 👍👍👍

I am making a other one now. People seem to like them. Yours are very good, keep up the good work.
Thanks Bruce! They are a good simple wood stove, and like you have said, you can build in improvements to make it all work out a bit better.
Great video and build. Nice design and fab on the stove. Looks so robust. Food scenes made my mouth water. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )
I always learn something when I view your videos. Thanks, mate, for sharing!
Now I know what all the grinding and cutting was, well done.
Thanks Barb :)
Once again, another unusual and very cool project - thanks!
Thanks Scott & Judy, i might build me self one.
Great to hear! They are not hard and I reckon they work pretty great. Cheers!

but may have to find a kid friendly protection plan ,to stop burns
Yes that's true, insulation might do it. Cheers.
Belle vidéo, et projet bien réalisé. 😉👍 ( nice video, well done project)
Thank you!!
Nice job!
I've always wondered if adding a venturi to the intake wouldn't increase airflow to make it burn hotter.
I think you could experiment to get the best cleanest burn. Wood gasifiers work well for this.
Ey man thought u retired no more fabricating too busy on you new project 👍🏽💪🏽
I hadn't done any fab for ages. I had to squeeze something in :)
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious i know but you allways put you own style ,, keep us alive saludos from texas 💪🏽
Love your work mate
Thank you Luis!
does the angle of the feed tube matter much?
I don't think it's critical. This one is at 45 Degrees and works fine.
Felicitari Scott,am sa fac si eu o soba dupa modelul tau. Multumesc
Mulțumiri! Da, este o sobă bună și nu vei regreta că ai construit-o.
Very nice build, excellent, but the walls are not insulated, I thought all rocket stoves had insulated walls to increase the draw. In fact I thought this was the major difference between a hobo stove (not insulated) and a rocket stove.

Definitely no shortage working with Tool’s. 🤙
Haha, yes
Do you leave a vent hole open when you are closing in the tubing?
In the legs? No, not in this case. Good question though. The rear leg would get the most heat, therefore have air expansion. 4mm thick tube with 3mm caps on the feet is pretty strong. A tiny hole would give peace of mind I guess.
Muy bueno y practico
A good oven. I made one, but portable with folding legs for traveling by car.
They are well suited for that. This one has a bit of weight but is very stable. All the best!
How do you controls the heat? Is it height adjustable? Or pull wood out? Close down the hole?
It's a matter of controlling how much fuel (wood) you use and when you cook. This is a simple stove. It has no adjustment but seems to work pretty good how it is.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Thanks! Awesome build!
Yeah I was just thinking that out camping, frying eggs vs steak is totally different heat levels.
