A few of the scouts are taking over my shop to make a rocket stove. So far, so good. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/wMkR6RJP/IMG-20240128-102246908.jpg) That's "Thor's Hammer" in the back. It's heavy as heck and a work in progress.

No. It's a ridiculous 17 pounds of 1/2" rebar. They want to do a hollow one now though. 😁

We'll need a picture of the stove assembled and working.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Rocket stoves are great. I've been ruminating on an idea to make a stove that breaks down, and all the parts nest together. Just need some time to actually get it done.

![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Gmk1vDJf/IMG-20240128-115510258-HDR.jpg) It's a car camping/scouting toy IMO. Should be fun though, old school coffee cooking in the am on about camp outs.

Looks good..but why paint it? High temp paint stops/delays rusting. And I have a bunch for the fire pokers we sell.

So forgive me question on the stove. Never seen on I understand the concept but how does it work and fuel used etc It should boil water for coffee reasonably quickly using just sticks as fuel. There's a metal grate just above the vent/ash removal opening on the bottom so even when "stuffed full" there's air flow. Some don't have that, and have the angled piece of tubing where you load sticks separated into two channels and one is the "vent" for air flow. It's pretty easy to get the sticks burning, as it's the same concept as a charcoal starter with open air from below.

Does it still stink when you burn it in? only the first time. I'll "season" it before using it to cook, but really only see me using it for coffee. Gonna go old school with the percolator and wood instead of using a JetBoil at Scout campouts.
