Homemade TIN CAN ROCKET STOVE. Simple DIY. no special tools required. easy clear directions. This stove is great! Items needed: 3 metal cans, gravel/sand and/or dirt! that's it. only tools i used were a hacksaw, pliers and a drill. powerful stove. wind and rain resistant. can cook full meals using very little fuel (leaves, twigs and small sticks). i've even fueled these stoves just on "junk mail!". if you like the vid. please rate, subscribe and share. notes: main body of stove (largest can) is a one gallon paint can. bought it at home depot for $5. medium sized can is a pasta sauce can and the smallest can is a standard size soup can. i used a 2 1/2" hole saw to mark (score) the paint can
UPDATE: (06/01/2018)… if interested, here’s a youtube video link to my newest rocket stove design. This one is also made with a one gallon paint can but has an extra-wide chimney, an extra-large fuel feed tube *and has a metal “shelf” built into the feed tube!

Next time, fill it half full of water and put it in the freezer. After it's frozen just use your hole saw, the ice will support the cut.

I haven't been on here for awhile it's been like 6 years or more and it's like my 1008th time using this Stove it's still going strong today. I always get asked at the beach what is that!! Then I show them by cooking burgers, chicken,hot dogs,steaks,pork chops,bacon and eggs and Brew my coffee as well as make soups on the beach everyone always says where's the flame and smoke I tell them it's virtually invisible and ask me if I want to sell it. I'm like no but I will gladly show you how to make one. Best stove I've ever had I just walk along the beach picking up thrash and dry driftwood and branches or even dry seaweed and burn that for hours on end. Still love it and use it almost every day.

Just a tip for people trying to cut the hole in the first tin.. If you fill the tin with DAMP sand , then lightly drop the can from about 5mm off the ground to pack it in, place the lid on top of the can and lay the can on its side.. you can now easily use a whole saw to cut the tin. ;)

To avoid smoke you might have to increase the gap between the pot and stove, that seems to help for us! Keep up the solutions people, the time is here to share good info.

Wow ... great ideas from all. I like the ice or sand trick to let you drill all the way through. Hole saws can get grabby though, and cause a little two-step quicky on the ol' wrist. Another idea is to use the hole saw to 'mark' the circle, then use a jig saw with a fine-toothed blade to cut out the circle.

@Heathenboy30sum 8 жыл бұрын

I made one today and it seems to work good, going to use it when I go ice fishing. I traced the soup can with a pen onto the pail and the larger center can, drilled a starter hole, then used a solid knife (banana knife) to cut out the holes a 1/4 inch at a time. I put a hole in the center can instead of notching it as you did, because I wanted to keep the base on the center can. I only used sand so that it would pack in and stay in place better. For those wondering how to clean it out, the ashes fall out of the inlet (soup) can easily enough. Thanks for the vid!

I love it! I have seen many different versions on how to do it and yours is one of the easiest. I assume that the paint can has never been used, it looked like that to me. I have a dremel and I think that would work a bit better in cutting the can. Cleaning it out would be easy once the coals are no longer hot.I have a wooden spatula that I use for cooking and that would be great to clean it out.

Well made video. Easy to follow instructions. Great job. I do have a suggestion. When cutting the inside can, you said the hardest part is getting the cut started past the lip of the can. If you take a can opener and turn it sideways, you'll cut the entire lip off rather than just the lid, but be careful as the edge is extremely sharp.

Good stuff. I've been using something similar for years. Because I like to build my own furniture and bee hives, I have lots of wood shavings and saw dust. So instead of filling the outer sides with sand and gravel, I pack in my saw dust and or shavings and light that with a piece of paper. Beware the can will get hot enough to burn a floor so it needs to be set-up on stones or something fire-retardant. The inner cans are used for a mould to create a tunnel / chimney. A four litre / one gallon can of saw dust with give a good even heat for about an hour, so more cheese sandwiches please.

You should put some holes along the base of the outer can, above the sand line. The heat that builds in the outer chamber would cause air to be drawn in, adding to the upward flow parallel to the burn chamber. Not sure how much the gravel will impede that flow, though (most I've seen leave the air space).

Usually the insulation around the stack is a bit better than rocks, usually some sort of perlite and clay slip blend. Thats a little more complex for a hobo stove of course, but the insulated stack is where the magic of a rocket mass heater happens. Since that solidifies, you can turn out the ash no problem. The taller the insulated stack, the better the mass heat conversion is.

@susanp.collins7834 6 ай бұрын

I'm clueless. Are you saying that a perlite and clay slip blend will melt and solidify - like fireclay? Perlite you can get a garden centre, can't you? And a potter could supply the clay slip or can you make your own if you have access to clay (I do). Can you give a ratio?
