MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How do you have internet at your cabins? A: I have cell service at both cabins but it is spotty due to foliage and cloud cover. I can access the internet from my cabins but have to drive to a local wifi location to upload videos.
Q: How old is Frankie? A: Frankie will be 10 in April of 2018
Q: What video editing software do I use? A: Presently, all I use is Windows Live Movie maker but I’m considering trying imovie, Adobe Elements or SONY VEGAS PRO.
Q: How do you get your water? Did you dig a well? A: Presently, I haul water to the NY cabin but at the NH cabin, I drop a kettle into an old well that was dug by hand by the settlers in the 1700’s.
Q:What is your favorite brand of cast iron cookware? A: I prefer using vintage cast iron. My favorites are BSR and Griswold. If I had to buy new I would buy a Lodge Brand. I plan to purchase this dutch oven in the future:
Q: What do you use for refrigeration? A: We have a small gas refrigerator that we salvaged from an old Shasta camper and a custom icebox that I built into the cabin wall. We make ice on site with a propane freezer.
Video of icebox:

My wife and I are in the middle of selling our house, buying an RV to go find our little piece of quiet and are going to build a slightly modified version of this stove for the road. Thanks Boss, we really enjoy your videos.
Best of luck with your new venture :-)
I just sent a copy of this video to my wife and had her watch it. She decided that we need one. We are going to build one with the upgraded ideas that you mentioned. Really a great video.......
My grandfather had something like that when I was a kid. Pretty neat.
Pretty handy little device, it certainly looks easy to make. Another awesome video Boss, keep up with your hard work. You and Frankie take care and stay safe.
Jeff Bagley Very simple indeed. Fun project.
every video of yours is like a trip down memory lane, good times in the woods hunting and fishing and camping with my dad an granddad, they taught me to be the man I am today, thank you very much for your videos and your backwoods knowledge and for taking me back to a simpler and better times for me, thank you again and God bless my friend
Boss, that’s a great design and easy to make. Can also make it on the cheap, which is even better. My friend, God bless you and yours! You’re an inspiration to us all!
Really needed to know this for my future nomad life.. thanks👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️🇨🇦
I'm mid way through marathon-ing all your videos and I just want t o say all of them have left me with at least one thing if not more that I've found to be useful, helpful, and inspirational to me. My dream is similar, and you've brought me more hope that it can be done than any other site or video or direction.
About your rocket stove it is the first video or instruction on this that has made sense and looks affordable, doable and possibly more economical than my current situation.
Thank you so much and I love you're videos and you're puppy!
Katie Jacobson Thanks Katie. So happy you find the beneficial. I have A LOT planned for this year so stay tuned. All the best.
Nice detailed and simplified tutorials,, gonna make one and keep in my pick up tool box, you never know, I'm back....
Ray RayRay Cooking food in minutes with nothing more than twigs is just plain awesome.
Cool JC....just goes to show you what a little ingenuity and a little work can come up with......props my friend.
Love Frankie laying on the snow @ 13:54....great job...would come in handy when there are outages for sure, or even cooking outside during the summer...
Dallas_Red It's amazing how well it cooks with nothing more than twigs. I love it.
your videos are just awesome and I just "escape" when I watch…… I go someplace mentally far away when I watch. Thanks for all the video and work that goes into them.
Jeff Hamel Glad you enjoy them Jeff. Thanks for commenting.
Great video! I'll be making one soon. Thought of making some to sell. Thanks Boss. Please give Frankie & Tildy a hug from Simba & Dollie, my 2 Dobermans.
Twas the night before Christmas with you and Frankie are my favorites. It has become a family tradition every year now during the holidays
Mine too!
Great demonstration. This one would last a lifetime compared to the one I saw made from metal soup cans and a larger coffee can.
MT
MegaMadTrapper The soup can one was very innovative but this is just too simple to make. I'm lovin it.
Will definitely upgrade when the coffee can is no longer serviceable.… “ if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”....... and as you always point out boss…ITS FREE 😉.
Definitely going to make this, thanks so much for the instructions. Glad you included a bit of Frankie's antics.
Fran L Good luck with your project. I think I'm going to put some high temp chaulking around the pipe to hold the sand in.
You n your channel is a n answer yo prayer. Thsnkyou both very much.
Thsnkyou for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Great approach for anyone wanting to do something similar without many resources. A temp stove can be built using a pile of rocks and mud. You kept it simple so others in such a situation could make the design connections. Thank you!
This stove makes a wonderful cooker for something so simple.
Ove your directions. You are a nayural born teacher.
How very clever.. love the finished project and am very impressed! You always are the perfectionist with all you do. Who would have ever thought of using a stainless steel pot? I was amazed that those tin snips cut through it. Thumbs up JC for your creativity! God Bless!
1994abbygirl This perfectionism is sometimes more of a curse than a blessing. I just finished making an intro for a new series I'll be starting. The intro is 27 seconds long but it took me 5 hours to piece together. I'm a sick man Abbygirl. It came out good though. I'm anxious to start that series. The rocket stove is really cool and works great. I love it.Have a great day my friend.
thebossoftheswamp I appreciate your perfectionism and professionalism..in today's world we see a lot of sloppy unfinished things happening. It takes time to think things through and in the end we get something great. Like your cabin, your land and little or big projects. I am anxiously awaiting your new series. Blessings!
great stove to have, not only in emergency but for a cook up as well.
One of the best cheap Rocket Stove ideas I have seen J.C., God Bless...
Romans Ten Fourteen Thank you kindly.
That baby is awesome!!
Very cool project. I took my out door Grill to the dump as i was tired of rebuilding the grates and buying propane. This looks like it would be great for cooking lots of different foods just use a Cast Iron Skillet instead of a pot. Lots of fuel in the woods. I will put this on my list of projects for sure. Thanks!
Take care
JC, your opening sound and visual effects are awesome. The stove came out excellent, great work and it seems to be an easy make as well.
Danno Quin Thank you Danno. Yes, the project went together really quick. I've got some improvements in mind for my next build.
I have to say, you are the real deal! You are so knowledgeable and talented, and an all around nice guy. Also, your videos are so well put together! I watch several outdoors/nature/diy sort of channels, and this one is the best. You should be on cable!
Nate Chung Thank you Nate. I appreciate your kind words.
Amen 🙏 Amen 🙏 to that!!! 🙏🙏🙏🕊
that would be great when your lights go out. Lovin your videos. keep it up. Thanks
Very handy indeed. Cheers :-)
Simple design & great results. Thank you!
Another great use of a Walmart stock pot. I love the fact that you took the time to think of a simple way to build a rocket stove that anyone could do with minimal tools and investment. Trent
Thank you
Really appreciate the tin snip info. If one had The proper size holesaw, would it cut stainless steal?
another great vid so simple and works great thanks,,give Frankie a thump for me
chapmaker46 One thumb up for Frankie :c)~
This was sooo cool, got me thinking about baking while out in the open country
As always JC...loved the video. I learn more practical things from your videos, than most of my years in school. Can't wait to make one of these little stoves...
BrassTurds I didn't learn anything useful in school either :-)
Your amazing Boss, that's awesome, might make me one of those thanks.
These are really cool stoves :-)
Now that is an excellent looking little stove and very simple to make.. Good job and great video again !!
eaglehill6 Thank you. It went together really quick. I'm going to build more and add some new features.
Well, Boss, I've been looking at rocket stove designs for months now and just saw this one you built as I was going through the videos. I have to say, it's the easiest design I've seen... I can do that one with the tools and things I have or can afford to buy. That's important for me. Glad I found it, thanks!
This little stove has served me well. Good luck with your project.
drywall corner bead makes a good pot holder/wind break because the stuff is stiff and has holes for the smoke to escape. Just make cuts with snips every 2 inches on one side and you can bend it around in a circle.
Another winning video JC. I'll definitely be making one of these. It will be great this spring and summer cooking a bowl of vegetable soup or chili while working in my garden or shop.
Rohn Stearns I'm impressed with how well it works with nothing more than twigs. I love it.
Loved this! One of the best designs I have seen yet. Thanks for all you do.
Hi. Just a quick tip. For better burn it would be good to have some sort of shelf at the opening where you feed in the wood like some other rocket stoves do. This would allow air into the burn area. Also if you made a lose fitting skirt that goes around the size pot you intend to use to get the heat around the sides of your pot. Good luck. Whish you the best. Jason, Waiheke , Aotearoa nz
Now all you have to do is go out with Frankie and tap some of those Maple tree's and boil up some Syrup for the Cabin. ;-)
Im so excited to have a stove again
Thanyou for letting me know before i tried it.
I saw the set of interchangeable tools like you mentioned but got to find who has them in stock
Praise God!!! Thankyou both again for all your help.May the Lord bless you so much so that in your hearts you know that He loves you both n that you are blessing others through your ministry teaching how to live a simple wholesome life
Well looks like I add another project to my to do list lol thanks Boss
I love this thing.
Another great video, looking forward to the new series. A little common sense and knowhow will get the job done.
Bruce Walker Common sense and ingenuity will go a long ways.
Pretty cool idea! I'm going to have to make on of these. I'll give you the credit when the compliments start rolling in! Thanks again Boss. God Bless!
Jeff Schweiger Thanks Jeff. I'm going to make a few adjustments and experiments and post an update. All the best.
Great how-to. You and Frankie take care.
Excellent idea!! I've been impatiently waiting for a new video. Keep em coming, Boss!
Great vid. Have you ever seen the "rolled top beer can stove"? I've made a few and they work great. Small enough to fit in your pocket and boiled water in under 5 minutes. Only draw-back is the gas-line anti-freeze fuel. Plus side is it all fits in a tin mug. Great for a mug-up in the middle of no wheres. Keep the videos coming and us home-bound folks happy. Thanks for everything. Dave and Melody.
monk13131 Can't say I've ever heard of it. Sounds interesting though.
Now how Awesome was that, Thank you Boss !
Ingenious idea... I love it! You are right about the U-bolts being to high though. Thanks for the tutorial JC! You're living the dream man!
Clever idea! All the hard work in planning has been done. I am going to build one of these this summer.
Dennis M Please watch my rocket stove recap. There's more info you may find beneficial.
Just have to say I've enjoyed watching your videos. Especially that awesome wood stove you have. Very true my generation doesn't know much about patience and saving money. Living off what's not what's wanted has been a hard thing to curve I have to admit. Thinks for some amazing insight on things and great explanations on how to do stuff. Videos like this go a long way.
Nathan Mcbride Glad you enjoy them Nathan.. Definitely agree about our society. They all want instant gratification but their lives don't appear to be very gratifying.
Great idea., keep them coming. It is nice to see you en clouded Frankie in you videos.
Dwight Mc Lean Frankie finds hi way into them whether he's invited or not :c)~
Cool project JC !
I have used sand in the bottom of small wood stoves to protect the metal. Thanks for sharing how to be more self-sufficient.>>
Here comes a personal request that may be on your list >> How to build a chuckwagon campfire pit with all the bells & whistles for my back woods outdoor kitchen.
Looking forward to more Backwoods Logic episodes!
All the best >> Diane
Love that stove. My 1 pound tanks are not cheep. And I do like a slow cooked chilli. Looks to be a winner. Tks.
Great little rocket stove,great idea.
southernmost homesteader Thank you. It was fun to put together.
Brilliant! Love it. When you put your thinking cap on it worked. I want the stove and the cap.
Possible alternative to the U-bolts on the top would be regular bolts, using washers as spacers. You could then add/remove washers as needed.
Another fantastic video! I am taking your suggestion and taking my two oldest grandkidlets shopping, each with a list of things to get and we are going to build this. They are 15 & 16 so should be a great project for us.
That is after we get the Gorton to a slow simmer and the English Muffins raising. I know for sure this time I will roll them thinner.
Sherry Woyczik Having Gorton and English again this morning :-)Good luck with your stoves. Swing by the dump and grab a few stove grates too.
Yes! this seriously rocks!
Man is that the deal or what. Awesome stove, thanks for sharing, love it.
Thank you
Your videos are always so refreshing and I look forward to them all the time, I like your version of the rocket stove and it really seems like it would do a good job and I also am planning to build one from your version also. Thank you for the wonderful videos you do!
jedediahbc I'm going to make a few adjustments to the design and will post updates soon.
well it looks like im off to wal mart boss , cool little stove for emergencies . I ve been watching you tube for years and years and found your channel about a month ago . It is the only channel I have ever subscribed to and I am hooked . I ll pass the word to my friends and family . yessir.....
MARK HARRIS Thanks Mark. Please spread the word. I'm going to experiment with a few ideas for this stove and will post an update soon. Yessah
I like it,and think i will do it.Thanks again !
Very clever idea and looks relatively easy to make. Thanks for sharing! Rick
Rick's backyard garden Very simple to make for sure and cooks great.
Great idea, and easy to make and use. well done JC
daniellegrandpa I'm loving this thing. It cooks really quick with just twigs.
Great project! Thumbs up.
Quite a nifty and inexpensive idea, thank you for sharing
Great little stove!!!!...:)
This is a nice one....I'm gonna make one for the cabin...thanks
I like it. My son and I are planning a rocket stove project which we'll post in an upcoming vid. Thx for sharing.
Nice rocket stove very nice and efficient and cheap !
Thank you
Thanks again for not assuming that all your viewers know all about tools and techniques! The information about the curved vs. Straight tin clips is great; I never would have thought to even wonder about such details. I am going to recommend your channel to all my women friends like me who are OH so very independent, but have few skills that are necessary to get projects done on our own down here in "The Magical Land of Nada; Luna County, New Mexico".😱
Happy to hear you enjoy my postings and thank you very much for sharing my channel with others.
All the best :-)
You can use Perlite as an insulator. Just be sure to get the stuff without fertilizer in it! ;)
It looks fantastic!!!
easy and quick here Bossman...
Well how cool is that? Love it. Great idea and another great video. You're such a cool guy!
deeann pookie Awww thank you Deeann :-)I'm loving this little stove. It's amazing at how well it cooks with nothing more than twigs. So handy for emergency purposes.
If you drill holes on the bottom of the "T pipe" you might create a secondary burn like a wood gas stove. :)
I really enjoy your videos and especially how you explain things. I've learned quite a bit from your videos.
Kudos on the concept!
A couple things that you can do with the exact same parts.
1) Use the cut out pieces for a foundation at the bottom of the burn chamber for added resistance to a burn by sliding one to the bottom then adding an inch of sand, and then the second one onto the sand. This would work best if when being cut, they were nearly exactly the same size as the galvanized section.
2) Your U bolts were brilliant - but nothing says you can't turn them upside down to use - there by lowering OR even making adjustable the height of the "grate" you're replacing with them.
My hats off to you - PLEASE keep these wonderful ideas coming and your channel viewers will be ready for anything!!!
~Soft Winds and Starry Nights~
Thank You Sir!
Nice build and demo . Thanks !
This satisfies my OCD in so many ways... ❤️
Gonna do this tomorrow
Great video. Smart construction. Thanks
What a great bit of kit might try this with the kids😊 another quality video my friend 👍
Sean Briggs Thank you. It was fun to build and it works great.
WOW ! you are really smart
Hmmm didn’t think of using a spot from Walmart.... smart idea....
That was a awesome idea!! Looked like it worked great!!
rodney newbury I was impressed that it worked so good even in the high winds. I've got a few ideas to tweak the design a bit. Fun project to make.
I always enjoy your videos, thanks and keep them coming!
Gave this design a go today. Used a stock pot as well but couldnt find the T you had so I pieced together some ducting and an old coffee can as my feed tube on the side. Havnt fixed up the lid yet but I gave it a test fire and seemed to draw great. Thanks for another great video.
Great build brother, the usages of that thing are endless, i think every outdoors person should have one!!
SwampDonkey530 I have so many ideas for this thing. My 6" one is in the works and I'll be adding an oven to it as well. I'm having too much fun with this.
'Mornin, Boss & 'Lil-Frankie; That's what it's all about simple and effective. Shouldn't B 2 hard 4 this 'ole boy 2 figure 1 out. Thanks 4 sharing the build with us. Will give'r a whirl. Thanks Friends
Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada ATB Terry
" GOD BLESS "
T.W. Milburn This little stove works great buddy. I've got a couple little improvements to make and it'll be great. Updates to follow :-)
thebossoftheswamp will stay tuned, Friends
Well done Boss, really like it. Best fit and finish I've ever seen on a rocket stove.
Canesser Thank you my friend. I've got a few upgrades in mind so an update will follow.
Thanks Boss. I never seen one built like this before. Pretty cool. I work for Metro North Railroad and I bring my rocket stove to work on occasion. Being out on the railroad right away to just need a handful of sticks is awesome. Place a pre-made pot of hamburg soup or chicken vegetables soup or a flat griddle for hamburgers & hotdogs. Bam 15 minutes later and you're eating like a champ. Sometimes I bring my solar oven. Set it up when I get to the job site with hotdogs in a black pot. A can of chili & a jar onions. Bam lunch time the boys and I are feasting. Fun stuff Boss. Thanks again for commenting this video to watch. Best wishes brother...
Rocket stoves are so damn cool. Just twigs and you're cookin good ;-))
sir u are a genius....Thank you!!
You are most welcome :-)
That is just freaking cool !!
nice wok!...as usual. cheers mate!
I had a funny moment with this one, when you post a video I get a notification on my phone and it didn't show the whole title, it left off the "stove part". I pictured you and Frankie in space suits and moon boots. The stove was a cool build too :)
backyardmeat LOL. First border collie on the moon :c)~
Neat design Boss, anything that uses free fuel is a winner in my books, it'll pay for itself in no time ....!!!
***** It's amazing how well it works with nothing more than twigs. I love it.
