What it is – a Rocket Stove (#4)

Here is the result of my project: a mini Rocket-stove, assembled out of old chick pea tins and vermiculite (the vermiculite is the insulation around the sides).

Rocket Stoves are very efficient at burning stuff, and I intend to take this camping at the weekend and cook my meals using only a few twigs. I haven’t tested it yet, as my yard is quite small and shared weith my neighbours, not sure they’d appreciate the flames.

I’ll post pics/video once I get it running, too.

Can you tell what it is yet? (part 3)

It’s almost ready, final assembly is only an hour or so away with any luck.

The design has had to be tweaked and modified as I went along, sometimes to add extra features, sometime to minimise my mistakes.
