Hmm... I would like to see the next rocket stove built with one tool! This would be fun if you had a lid on the soup cans so you could haul a bit of cargo in them.
Not sure about the one tool method - at least for this kind of build. You can make a "hobo" stove just using a knife or one of those triangle hole punch/bottle opener things. There are other vids on YT for that. Although a Dremel with a metal cutting blade may do it if you're creative enough. As for the lid... if you buy the right sized items you can get a plastic lid for the can. So say for instance (at least in my area) a can of diced tomatoes (I think 16 oz but not sure) and a small can of mixed nuts both have the same diameter, so the plastic lid from the nuts will fit (sometimes a little bit loosely) on the can. Just a matter of comparing the items while your grocery shopping.
A while back I made a rocket stove out of a 20 quart stainless steel stock pot. My insulator was river sand. That was the cheapest and most available insulator for me. And it worked reasonably well.
I really like this stove, but just thinking about maybe getting the build one step easier( Georgia residents only). Tape the two soup cans together and pack the big can space with your local free clay/cob mix. After using it a few times the small cans may weaken and burn out and you're left with a fired insulated clay liner. Thank you Shortz for your experimenting, it's backyard fun for big kids.
I like this one. definitely more simple! Going to build something like this in the spring (warmer garage, brrr) in case of power outages, wish me luck!
Dude. I had some stainless cans that were made for food grade materials. I’d probably use my dremmel with a cutoff wheel for cutting that. Of course. I’m a tool ..... so, minimal tool builds aren’t my thing. 🤣
Rather than mineral wool, ash and perlite - you could have just used that Georgia Clay - love that stuff. I can give you my fav Compost recipe - where you need clay - haha - also how about some wood vertical in the soup cans - that will cooks lots or boil lots - especially if you use some home made bellows - haha
@@GreenShortzDIYThere are a lot of trolls in this video's comments section. Ranting about heavy metals and other toxic galvanic metals like aluminium and zinc.
as always i really enjoyed watching your diy video..thanks for sharing your ideas and welcoming others suggestions...can't wait to see your next project.....a subscriber from stockton, california
Thanks so much, Therese. I’m having fun with this. Love hearing all the good ideas in the comments. In spite, of the occasional troll, TH-cam is an amazing community. Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching.
No Georgia clay or perlite. Stuck it on top of a modified chimney grate, in my actual chimney with paving sand as an insulator and now it's tea time and soup time. If you stick a slate on top instead of a pot it makes quite a decent heater!
I’m a pyro. I admit it. I did let it die down on the soup, but needed a nice burst for the thumbnail. I did see the irony myself though. Thanks for the laugh. Thanks for watching.
Its not really a stove but a glorified chimney it will not last long if kept outside and that's a waste for the work involved still I will give it a thumbs up
Hey Tom, I see you got the tin snips... some "hand specific" (right hand cut / left hand cut) would be better as that the cutting blade is shorter and better for cutting circles. Also starting with a larger diameter drill bit or using a "step" bit to increase to hole diameter prior to cutting with the snips. One other ideat I had was instead if the plastic bag to cover the center,make a cone shape out of some card stock (cereal box) to fit over the hole
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your thoughts on the curved snips. I already had my straight ones, so I made it work. I do have a step bit, but didn’t that of that. I like the cone solution. It would have been easier. I had to pull the plastic out carefully so I didn’t pop the perlite all over the place. But, I do like using the suggestions as they come. :-) Thanks for watching.
[Another pouring solution for your Perlite/concrete/insulation]....On another episode of reinventing the wheel: Literally think "dunce cap". Try an inverted funnel or cut the bottom of a plastic soda bottle. You can just pour without caring. The cone shape would naturally guide the mixture & gravity does the rest of the work. Appreciate your work Sir.
About 3 years ago you posted a video using a blower to feed combustion air into a larger stove. The following suggestion is just for getting fire started without stressing your lungs or stealing your wife’s hair dryer. When you are at a loss for a small project consider constructing a bellows or squirrel cage blower to feed additional combustion air into your firebox. Bellows: th-cam.com/video/NJjJ4k71yBA/w-d-xo.html. Blower: th-cam.com/video/nDmEN9faugU/w-d-xo.html A Korean engineer I follow added a bit of pipe for secondary combustion just below the chimney. Love your channel. Wishing you and your family Peace, health and happiness. Cheers.
I am not sure what the point in the soup cans are. Did he not create what is essentially an insulated chimney? What is the real benefit of this over just using refractory bricks.
Hi Charmaine. If you pay for shipping, I'll send you this one. :-) You'll just need to pick up some bricks and assemble. If you are interested, email me your address (Don't put it here) and I'll find out what shipping would be. My email is tom@greenshortz . com (No spaces of course)
Try a fixed blade knife to cut out can instead of snips. Bump it with Palm of your hand.. Have done this to open cans when fishing. A burner grate off old gas stove on top.
@@GreenShortzDIY a long time ago we went out for pizza. My buddy ordered extra mushrooms. It had about three layers of mushrooms on it. It was awful. I could still taste them after I picked them off. I still can't eat them.
Tasty toxic galvanized enriched soup! Can't get better than that! Well, maybe fresh welding arc infused soup is pretty good too! Gotta get your heavy metals naturally, right?
Could a large can that held greenbeans work? It was 6 lb can of green beans, If it isnt good for this project, any suggestion on how to repurpose this can? Not crafts please, Google just brings up crafty decorative ideas. We want the dirt!
The big problem of using the green bean can for this build is to preserve the contents AND still only have a soup can size hole in both the top and bottom of the green bean can.
Hi Andrew. I think your cost estimate is about right, not counting the tools, of course. A few of the items I used were salvaged, so I don’t have an accurate number. Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching.
Hi Johannes. I think charcoal would work. I was curious if it might glow again with the heat of the riser pipe. That might not be a problem though. Thanks for watching.
Hi Paul. I had to look it up. :-) Mineral wool is a fiber made from metal oxides that form at super high temperatures. This makes them a great insulation material for temps up to 3000 degrees F. There are different types. If you want to know more, check out this Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mineral_wool#HTMW
Not everyone likes the music. I have been using it less. But, sometimes I need to cover loud background noise or a speedy section. And sometimes I just need to jam. :-) Thank you for the feedback. Thank you for watching.
What the... Why are you Rinsing Perfectly Good Food down the Drain?😲🧐 4 Cans of Soup🤔Why didn't you simply buy a Bigger Taller Can🧐🤪 Your Mother ought to be ashamed🧐🧐
Thank you Tom. It gets cold over here in Siberia and the Rocket Stove is very helpful. Now, I can cook soup too!
Thanks Mr. Follicle. You're a stand up guy. :-)

What is the little tray below the grate that you put the lit paper on?
Very easy if you can get a clean empty paint can.

Can i use rivets instead of screws
if they are steel only , some rivets are made of part aluminium
