Sorry, if there’s a million typos and awful grammar, it’s because I’m typing and editing posts while kids are beating each other with Wii controls.
Rocket stove design how to#
My favorite is to help the kids cook with it and teach them how to make their own dinner! So bust it out in your front yard, take it to work, or give it as a teachers’ gift (maybe they can use it to burn some of that ugly apple decor they always get)! Keep feeding in wood to keep the fire going for as long as you need!
I usually just cut up some of the scrap wood we have lying around, but use whatever you have that will fit and burn! It will make your stove look pretty (which is very important :), and helps it to last longer! If you want to be real fancy go ahead and spray your finished rocket stove with some high heat spray paint. Drill two small holes and thread a piece of hanger into them and bend it into place.ĩ – Spray Rocket Stove with High Heat Spray Paint Cut about an inch on each side of the can.įor a finishing touch add a handle to the rocket stove by using a metal hanger.Hammer the metal to make if flat if necessary.Cut a rectangle metal piece with flaps that will fit inside.Hammer the remaining 4 tabs on top to secure the lid in place.Īlmost done! Not sure where my pictures disappeared to for this step (maybe the same place as the I-Pad), but you basically use some of the scrap metal and make a shelf!.Place the lid with the circle cut into it, on top.Fold down 4 tabs, use a hammer if you need to help flatten them.Pack it in until you can’t fit anymore!.Insulate with whatever you want that won’t catch on fire, I just grabbed some insulation from the attic for mine :).We cut 8 total, but look below to see approximate spacing. With the top lid, trace a circle in the middle of it using one of the smaller cans.Fold some of the tabs up to make a snug fit.Squeeze, smash, squish and do whatever it takes to get it through both cans.(see picture if I’m not making any sense :) Then make about 1.5 inch tabs around the can.With the can you haven’t touched yet, cut off the rim first.Once you’re ready, let some more sparks fly!.Using the piece you just cut out of the #10 can, place it on top of the smaller can and trace!.but this time measure and cut the can that will be going INSIDE the #10 can. Once you get something that could pass as a circle, get to cutting! This is where you get to use your Tin Snips! But if you want live on the edge, pull out a mini saw, don’t wear any safety goggles, use your toes to cut everything, and go to town!!!Ĭheck your tracing skills by seeing if the can fits through the hole you just made. With the large #10 can, use a lid from the small can and trace a circle. HIGH HEAT SPRAY PAINT – If you want to make it fancy ).MARKER – To mark where to cut on the can.HEAVY-DUTY GLOVES – So you don’t cut too many fingers off!.TIN SNIPS – or anything that can cut metal!.EXTRA CAN – You need an extra can to make the shelf.2 LARGE 28oz CANS – Eat lots of beans tonight :).#10 CAN W/ LID – Recycle one or get one from the cannery.So make sure to check out his Website – PREMIER ROCKET STOVES, and send him a HUGE THANKS :)
He was nice enough to let me invite myself over to his workshop and be totally obnoxious with my picture-taking. I got my first Rocket Stove from him, because lets face it, I was NEVER going to get around to making one. No… lets just go ahead and make one! Grab Some Scraps and Make a ROCKET STOVE!Ī huge thanks to Brock, who is an Organic Wellness Doctor by day, and a Rocket Stove engineer by night. Everytime I’ve done an emergency fair, the most popular alternative cookingmethod that I demonstrate has been the Rocket Stove (by a long shot)! People LOVE this one, including me! It has immediately shot to the top of my FAVORITE’s list and something I recommend EVERYONE should add to their emergency supplies!Ī handful of twigs can cook an ENTIRE MEAL!Īnd if you use the design below it fits anywhere, only weighs about 1 lb, very portable, easy to use, practically free, great for camping,….
