Rocket stove

[weldore]

Has anyone built and used one ?
I was thinking of having a go but wondered about what type of design to make.

cheers lads..i dont know how i found out about them Ringo, i think i put youtube on and it was one of the vids on the front page.
they say you only need a few sticks to boil a pan of water..free fuel really.
i was just wondering if i should make something thats light that can be chucked in the van or maybe go down the gas bottle route and use it in the garden.
that one that you linked sleedale looks like it could be easy to make

They sell them on ebay, amazon, and lots of other sites. There are also folding versions.

I have a frontier stove, which could be very easy to replicate using a drum and bit of pipe.

Ive built a few out of tins also converted one of them there mexican stoves (chimnea?) by insulating the chimney that worked well. Now thinking of incorporating it into a pizza oven none of these would portable. If you want to boilwater the kelly kettle is the same principle and designed boil water. There is loads on the internet and I have a book on it from the states.
