Thanks for watching! As Bill has mentioned in the comments, make sure that you know what kind of fuel you are burning when you are cooking on this stove. Don't burn pine, hemlock, pressure treated woods or anything containing plastic. The soot from some of these materials can be toxic.
The only problem is the flames are too large at the top. So it will burn your pot and could also burn the handle of the pan. They should build a nozzle at the top or incease the lengh of it so that the flames that reach a pan or pot are minimal.
Thanks for watching and commenting Francois. The pot definitely was blackened from that demonstration. Part of that could have been the fine twigs that I was using, and my "more is better" habit when I build fires.
@@themostlymikeshow That is true, but they should still built a nozzle at the top. Normally you should make a product like this as safe and minimal harmful towards the equipment you are using. So I still think a portective nozzle would be great
Thanks for watching. It's been a couple years since I made this video, but I don't think that it took very long. They burn very hot.. Much hotter than a gas stove. I hope that this helps.
@@themostlymikeshow thanks, if you can also answer another few questions... I've been having an issue understanding where everyone is starting their flames from... I always notice a "air chamber/pipe/duct" then the fuel duct/pipe on a lot of rocket stove designs. There must be some sort of grate/steel with holes (smthing like that) separating the two ducts right...? And do you start the fire by dropping the flame from the top of the chimney, or dropping the flame into the fuel duct with the wood, or does the flame start from the bottom with the air duct? Also (sorry for lot of questions, if u can't answer them all it's alr), would putting a lid on the fuel duct where I put sticks in be a good idea...? If I did, could u think of any pros and cons of that lid? The only pro I see in a lid is making sure air is only coming from the air duct/chamber from the bottom. And I also noticed a lot of designs with a horizontal pipe as the air duct/chamber under the diagonal pipe which u feed fuel/wood into. would this design be optimal? (Sorry for the bombardment of questions, if u can answer most of them thx)
Thanks for watching Lex. Yes, a fair amount of smoke, but I believe that a lot of it was because of the type of wood that I used. It was mostly twigs from my hedges and shrubs.
I only have one concern and that is the type of wood you use will cooking isn't it suppose to be only like apple wood or mesquite ? I think there are other types but I'm not sure ?
That's an excellent point Bill. The wood that I used was Maple, Cherry, and Birch, which I believe that all of those are ok. Pine or any evergreen species should definitely not be used. Thanks for watching!
Well that rocket stove isn't very rockety there's no secondary burn. I was under the impression that the rocket stoves efficiency is a result of a secondary burn in the vertical flue resulting in 50% more heat at the hot end. What this is, is a very nicely made rocket style fire cooker.
Thanks for watching Jules. Yes, this stove was made for cooking. It seems to provide adequate or more heat to do that. I actually think that this time I had it too hot.
@@themostlymikeshow Thank you for an awesome relaxing video. It does look like a nice stove. It just also looks like a rocket stove. FYI for those who don't yet know the benefits of a rocket stove is to use 1/4 the wood for the same heat in a smaller footprint with 1/4 the pollution as an open fire and 1/2 better than a closed fire like the one in your video. So, if the stove in the video was in fact a rocket stove it would be 1/2 the size and / or use 1/2 the wood for the same heat.
Not sure these are true rocket stoves, a true rocket stove has a horizontal burn chamber and an insulated riser where it gets extremely hot and the secondary burn takes place, these are basically a self feed camp stove, it’s very cool but not really what it’s name says
Thanks for watching Bret. I don't really know much about these. This one was sent to me to make a demonstration video. I haven't seen the type that you're talking about.
That seemed to generate a lot of smoke ...I think reducing the Climate Impacts and health impacts of our energy use with dry, locally sourced wood depends upon generating less smoke
Thanks for watching! No offense taken, but I believe that you will still need a flame proof container to hold the water. I know what you're saying, but they do look cool while they're working.
you dont seem to know how a rocket stove works they are smokeless of you adjust the air flow right and it causes a rocket sound... you just burnt some wood on a pipe and had no clue how it works
@@themostlymikeshow its not your fault the manufactures are just ridding a fad train and dont even know how they are suppose to work and they didnt even make any ducts control the air

Lmao. The edits are incredible. Especially the one at 2:06. 😂
Ha ha glad you enjoyed! I spend a lot of time editing.
2:06 caught me off guard, 😂
Glad you enjoyed! I'm going to have to go watch it and see what's at 2 minutes and 6 seconds, LOL. Thanks for watching!
We watched it In class on the big teachers whiteboard we weren’t expecting it 💀💀
@CraftyJae. Oh geez! What happened?
Says page not found on the link,,
Thanks for watching Mike. I'll check with him and see if something changed.

@@drakZesInsyed of a nozzle at top they should put a nozzle at the Air intake and control the air intake which might control the flames.
Just use a pizza pan. It will heat hot enuff to boil a pot on top of it
@nickdavis6294 Thanks Nick. That's a great idea!
so how long did it take to boil the water?

Was there quite a lot of smoke though?
Thanks for watching Lex. Yes, a fair amount of smoke, but I believe that a lot of it was because of the type of wood that I used. It was mostly twigs from my hedges and shrubs.
@themostlymikeshow Because you know when you live in a neighbourhood where no one expects a lot of smoke. They might do before long, mind you.
@therespectedlex9794 Yes, that's for sure. No one minds in my neighborhood fortunately.
I only have one concern and that is the type of wood you use will cooking isn't it suppose to be only like apple wood or mesquite ? I think there are other types but I'm not sure ?
That's an excellent point Bill. The wood that I used was Maple, Cherry, and Birch, which I believe that all of those are ok. Pine or any evergreen species should definitely not be used. Thanks for watching!
You won't believe this but there are MORE THAN 3 SPECIES OF TREE on planet Earth!!
😂😂😂
You missed the other four types of trees: lawn tree, forest tree, psykaya tree, and christmas tree.

Thanks for watching George. That was probably due to the wood that I was using. I'm sure that they all smoke a little bit though.

I'll have to mention that to the guy who made this one. I had no idea.
He will probably change the design.
Hi there, could you tell me what thickness that metal is? I am curious if it’s 1/8 of an inch, 14 gauge, or what it is. Thanks
