Rocket Stove Concept #1

Backyard Projects - Rocket Stoves

After digging around my 100 year-old shed I found a collection of cinder blocks that were used at one point to make steps off our patio and thought to myself, "With these I think I can make a small rocket stove."

After a couple minutes of different configurations I came up with one that actually allowed for a fire chamber and chimney setup and it worked pretty well. One wood match on some yard debris (which I have plethora of) in the chamber and it was off and cooking!

Next up will be a much heavier duty stove that I plan and making as a fixture in our backyard and also will be a lot safer by being surrounded by stone and away from anything that could burn.
