Hi, that is not a rocket stove! It is a masterful work of art! The welding is worthy of a race car chassis, brilliant wok, kind regards from 🇬🇧 Tim

I DO NOT understand how your channel doesn't have a million subscribers. Informative and sky high production value as always. Love the videos keep kicking ass

Does anyone else look away from the torch arc when he's welding? 😄😄

Great stove. The free plans is awesome. Thank you and thank you for adding the metric system. I makes my life easier in South Africa

I really love how the wood inlet and the air inlet match up to make it look like the piece of square tube passes through the other

So glad so many are interested in building one similar! Here are my basic dimensions: 4” x 4” square tubing. Main shaft: 16” without the plate holder. Fuel/Wood shaft: 12” on the longest side. Attached at 45 degrees.

Just a cooking tip from an elderly boy scout: If you're cooking on an open flame the pot/pan bottom gets sooty and hard to clean. Solution: Soap it up well with a wet bar of soap. Let the soap layer get sooty; it washes off easily.

Frome one metalworker to the another: You are a master craftsman. Enjoyed watching you work.

I can’t believe there’s 899 haters as of this writing. Very nice rocket stove. I’ve made 18 of them in various sizes for friends and family that want them. This is a unique one indeed. 👍

Love this design, added touches of the wood inlet and grating as well as the pan trivet. Nice job!

That turned out bad ass. Love watching welding videos with a solid project. You hit it outof the park. Keep up the awesome work

Dude, this is great. Made one with my daughter and we love it

Justin, I find this video inspirational! I recently purchased a tig welder, I'm retired, that makes this also an opportunity not only to build a cool and efficient rocket stove but a terrific tig welding project as well.

Honestly, ive seen a lot of type of rocket stove. But you have the best man! Genius design ! Thanks for sharing.

Easy! built one while watching tv!

Cracking build Justin, you have taken many of the best individual features of rocket stoves and made a great version for yourself. nice arc shots too buddy :)

Outstanding job Justin. I must now build one myself. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Your work is flawless, man. Great attention to detail, and great engineering, too. Much respect. Also, mighty clean shop.

Justin, thank you for sharing this build. You've made it a very sweet design and a great build! I know I'll be making one like yours for my own use. I'm wondering about making a grate from small diameter steel rod, with the pieces laid criss-cross and welded where they cross. Have to look at that - I've got a pile of bar stock (3/16 in. & a bit of 1/4 in. round) in my offcuts. Something I saw in 2015-16, on a larger, clunky rocket stove cobbled up from plate sections (uggh!) was having a small (1 to 1-1/2 quart?) water-heating tank on the side opposite to the wood feeder. Square tubing would make it simple. Arrange the filler to one side at the top, & hot water drawn off a few inches above the overall bottom plate - high enough to get a cup or small pan/pot underneath. It wouldn't have a filler that sealed tight, so it couldn't become a "boiler bomb." For a drain, ideally it wouldn't stick out, to avoid snagging something and tipping the stove, or just being snapped off by accident. It would hold enough hot water to make 2-3 cups of coffee, or to mix up another part of a meal in a small pot while a pan was cooking on top. Must give that some more thought. Anyhow, you've made this a work of art as well as a great rocket stove. Thanks!

Great skills and good design about increasing the space for more wood to burn, my little suggestion for review is if on the air inlet you add a rectangular drawer to extract the ashes away from the combustion chamber.

Dude! Love the quality of your videos and how you shoot/edit/educate in them! Keep truckin man! Happy New Year as well!

Very good!! Thanks!! From Brazil!!

mixing your audio 50% higher than your talking doesn't make using a band saw more intense, it just makes me change vids, yw for the engagement

I built one today at work as well! Looking forward to seeing how well it works! Thanks for the great idea! 😊👍

This is sick. Definitely gonna be my lunchtime project at work next week.

it was a joy from beginning to end to watch this video! Thank you!

Nice work! For the grate on one I built, instead of expanded metal, I drilled a series of holes and ran large nails through, welded them in, and ground off the ends. Worked pretty slick.

Im making one in stainless steel! Thanks for the drawings, awesome build. Clean and simple

This is the simpliest yet good rocket stove I have seen on KZfaq.

Hi Justin, Just watch your video and really like your fabrication. Just got the plans. Thank you very much for taking the time to prepare and share. Greatly appreciated

Nice job! Great fabrication and design!👍👍👍

I love how everyone has their own unique style of TIG welds, kind of like a fingerprint

Best of the basics I've seen yet after ten years of KZfaq viewing: This is the only one of its kind.

wish i knew about this back when i was in school for welding, every idea i had was either too expensive or not school friendly (i thought a trap for my pellet gun was a cool idea but apperently not) this would have been a nice and easy project to do and actually have a practical use!

Simple, clean, nice looking and a great build with quality workmanship! Thanks for posting! …… You mentioned during the build about a great opportunity for one of those weld magnets. I do everything by my self and have a few and they are great but I also have a few magnet I took out of old microwaves that are strong and very useful. Thank You again!

This video is going nuts, Justin. 209k in 5 days!? Awesome.

It's really satisfying when the weld starts to shine

Really like it! I'm a noob welder DIY. Gonna have a go at this!

Really like your stove. How much does it weigh????

Damn guy, nice welds, love how the piece looks like a variation of a Viking Rune.

That's a beauty! I like the rear air intake, and the trivet to hold the pan is very nice. You should build a "chimney oven" for it. It would be very cool to do some outdoor baking with that thing. I saw one a while back, it was like a 14x14" box inside of an old gas cylinder. The escaping smoke goes around the inner box (that your food goes into), before exiting. These rocket stoves are amazingly efficient. Once it's running hot, almost zero smoke. Very cool project!

Thanks for the video! I used your video for guidance and built one today in welding school! Can’t wait to try it out

I've got some leftover 6 x 6 and a buzz box. I like your design. Looks like sufficient inspiration to get something started!

I loved the fitting and welding. I would love a Tig in my shop. It looked so easy to do but I am sure it is all about the skill of the operator.

Very impressive. Great project, great video. Makes me want to learn welding.

Excelente trabajo!, Gracias por compartir los planos!

I was just looking around for rocket stoves, glad I stumbled into here! You lay beads like a boss!

Great job Justin! Your attention to detail shines through! I have a similar stove, but it doesn't have the opening at the back. I like your design as it allows great airflow, and certainly makes clearing the burnt wood and ashes easier. A big thank you and best regards from South Africa!

Dropping dime's I like the up close welding

Skilled fabricating, The best design for a rocket stove on u tube , built one ,took it north of 60 on a fishing trip ,broke it in on a great fish fry . Thanks Justin !

Excellent piece of workmanship, beautifulest part is, you can feel when your art is pleasing. I can't wait to build one. Thx

That thing is more well built than any rocket ever.

The holes could have been places to drive spikes through into the ground to prevent it from potentially tipping

This guy has all the time in this whole world

I built my version today! Thanks for the plans!

Very nicely done 👍 Most folks don't know the sound of a well built rocket stove. Yours seems on point from the audio. Viewing this has inspired me to re-visit the cranial file cabinet and tubing rack. A resurgence of sorts. Many thanks for creating this video, Justin. Well done sir!

AWESOME!!!! Really liked your attention to detail and your tig welding skills. Everything you did in this video seemed to flow flawlessly.

Love watching you "layin dimes". Beautiful work,like art

Gonna be building one of these for my ice shack. My buddy has one in his that is very old and still cooks them trout good!!

Best made rocket stove I have seen so far....👍🏽

Excellent design. I love how the the the wood is loaded in like a hopper seperate from the burn chamber. Super efficient. As soon as i rember where i put my old stick welder it's happening.

I welded aluminum stainless and mild steel for 40 years. Tig is the best way to go on projects like this. I think it is cleaner with better penetration. Great job on that stove. I taught a lot of people few have your kind of skill it is a work of art.

I love this, suggested it to my mom who lives off the power grid !

This is the first time I've come across your videos & dude... WOW!!! The info, the editing, the end product everything is amazing, I subscribed!

Awesome design. Love it. Turned out great 👍❣️

Best looking rocket stove I've ever seen. Good job.

I _just_ finished mine. Then what pops up in my feed? This video! Kinda wish I’d seen your build first. I went with the 2/3 vent/feed tube. I’ll likely add a vent under the combustion chamber like you did now.

Great job, thanks for the plans. The world could use more people like you.

I enjoyed your video and really appreciate you taking the time to make the plans. This will be my project for next weekend! Want to bring this in my travel trailer to cook in a fun way. Hope all is well with you!

Pretendo fazer um para mim e o seu projeto e o melhor que vi. O vídeo e ótimo e muito detalhado, parabéns.

Would suggest adding a handle.

GREAT Video GREAT Music And it's nice to see someone who is a GREAT Tig welder !

Excellent welding works( neat and clean) superb job 👍

man, these videos are really well put together. thanks for sharing!

I would consider a choke for the air inlet that you can open/close.

Excelent work man, thank you for sharing this with rest of us =)

Nicely done video. When I build mine, I think I'm going to try to make an adjustable air intake flow slide door to control the air going in.

Great video an always humorous because fab’in something doesn’t always come together as planned out an sometime you need to take a Vear it just keeps the focus anjoy in it. Thanks

Я 2 печки таких сварил , удачи и респект тебе коллега.

Super Nice ..... Liking your work from Cameroon -Central Africa

Nice project and your welds look absolutely clean

I stacked a bunch of bricks I collected and made one just by stacking, and will use it if (when) the power goes out. I was surp.rised at home efficient and hot it got! Now, it has to be babysat for feeding in fuel, but yours is the real deal, self feeding. Now I'm thinking, what about a brick tower and base, but make a slanted steel chute...? Hmmm. 😏

Nice job, earned a sub. Recommendation from a professional KZfaq Video consumer? Not a fan of the music, but if you're attached to it, turn the volume down on it a bit. It can be VERY overpowering.

Very nice build. You got some mad skills on that welding. Enjoyed watching this.

Stunning, thanks for sharing the plans.

🥓 🥓 You had me at Bacon. 🥓 🥓

WHY in the world would there be so many dislikes? IDIOTS! This is cool as hell, great job! I have a MIG and a stick welder and sure wish I had a TIG welder. Those are the bomb! But yes you did a very good job on that. AWESOME 👍🏼

Well, I guess I’ll add welding to my list of hobbies. Great work, hopefully I can make one that somewhat resembles it.

Thanks so much Jason I just tried the one I made out based on your plans. I do think yours is the best design so far.

Hey it's a rocket stove, not a rocket ship!!! Close enough is good enough!!! Nice work brother...

Well at least it was simple to make! Just need a few household tools, bibity bobity boop you’re done! Simple little stove!

As a TIG welder you did a excellent job.

Awesome build. It looks pretty safe as well.

I think two holes, either on opposing sides or opposing corners, would be useful. You could then use tent pegs to hold it in place, so it's harder to accidentally knock over

Music way too loud, constantly keeping my mouse on the volume control for when you'd talk... Great video and build though! I liked that you showed figuring out fit ups and work holding - and great arc shots.

Outstanding fabrication! Thank you!

I went straight out and bought a bandsaw, air compressor, air grinder, mig welder and all of the material to make the stove, and I can confirm that it is a good stove. Luckily, I already had the cast-iron pan.

Whao, nice job dude and that pan riser is what seals the deal for me!

I’d have MIG’d it. Love the design though!
