Nice work, great site, I built a rocket stove similar to this with no plans in about 5 hours. I work in Estonia as a mason building masonry heaters but lately have become really interested in rocket stoves. I built my stove with just the junk around the farm, clay from the forest and sand from the beach nearby. Thanks for the interesting info.

Simba, I hear ya. The pants I wore back in ‘75 in high school sag enough on me today to be “in style”. Guys like us probably won’t be spending weeks with the flu. I spent three hours reading your entire blog here and your work is comendable to say the least. I learned more in three hours than I can thank you for. You are a man of Tao.

Simba, thanks for the lesson. For what its worth, I think your rocket stove is a beauty. You just have to have the right kind of eyes.

I’ll call it a success if somebody builds one and turns off the propane. It will, however, be interesting to see if the video climbs towards the top of the list on a google search for “Rocket Stoves”. The teaser clip right now is 13th of 13 at youtube under “rocket mass heaters”. The wife is taking the formatted video to her work today, where she has a T1 internet line. I couldn’t upload from home since you tube is sooo sloooow from a regular connection.

Looks like you’ll be needing a publicist soon. Its a wonderful act, its going to go over very well on the coast circuit, perhaps the whole US Canadian border. I suggest adding music, maybe get those little cobbers on a wooden xylophone.

Bare foot brick layer. Probably comes in through the back door.

Thanks for the pics. They shed of light on the process.

Skinny?!! . . . all I saw were those hunky biceps. This must be one of those times when men and ‘wimmen’ just look at things differently.

@Mayberry

The reason why he looks skinny is because we are all too fat!

Haha… I eat and eat and can’t break 140. Geez – I wear the same size pants as I did in high school… whereas most all the guys I grew up with are fat and balding. They drive nicer cars, though…
