Great video for times like these. Anyone still coming to watch this, know that if you dig yourself a little divet nearby the rocket stove and fill it with sand, you can place the bottom of your cast iron pot into the sand after taking it off the rocket stove and twist n turn it around on the sand to wipe off the soot before taking the pot to the table. 😉 May Peace be with you, Eaglette.
my friends used to laugh at me cause I learned and I am still learning wilderness and urban survival and the art of bushcraft. They laughed even harder when i built two of these rocket stoves using brick and other recycled materials. Now in 2020, the laughter towards what i learned finally stopped. One of my friends sent me this link asking if this is how it’s done. Of course i said yes. Thank you for posting this.
I made a 16 brick rocket stove after a hurricane and made 3 meals a day for 6 people and we had only gathered a 5 gallon bucket full of sticks and bark before the rains started. Power was out 6 days!
I LOVE this!!!!!!! I’ll bet that even when your soup is finished, the residual heat from the stove could be great for rising dough for bread. Some old fashioned Southern style hot water bread with butter would top this beautiful chicken dish off like a champ!
I like your simple presentation. No bg music, no dramatization, no script, every bit of it so natural & inspiring. You both seem to have a great chemistry as well. To condense the long story, you’ve got a like & subscription from me. If possible, share with us how you two got along :p I am sure every one would love to hear that story.
You simply HAVE TO buy a traditional 3 legged South African “potjie” pot – used for outdoor cooking over an open fire. A small sized one would be perfect for this stove.
Semi retiring to my own place with a plot of land here in Wales for a simpler way of life. Looking at creating an outside kitchen and your video has just solved my ‘how’… 2 of those on a brick plinth would provide all the cooking surfaces I require, great simple video thank you.
I accidentally found this video and had not even heard of this stove, but I was super impressed with the step by step instructions and the recipe sounds yummy too, it made me feel hungry. Loving couple too
Also big thumbs up seeing older people doing you tube vids don’t you agree, I’m middle aged, and love seeing people of all ages on you tube, love and peace to all around our planet
I love your wife, I can imagine her giving me a warm bowl of soup and telling me its really not so bad and we’ll all get through this if we just help each other.
Our ancestors have used this technique for years (I’m from India) however we still use it in urban areas during short tours or picnics and the intresting fact we use more lucrative ways (we wrap it up with clay paste for extra thermal conductivity) of this earthen stoves to cook regular dishes we usually eat… You must see couple of videos available on YouTube. With lots of love and respect from Kolkata, India. ️
Looking at the comments it’s all been said before but not by me. It’s clear to see you are a warm loving couple who have a big caring generous heart between you both, and the tips and instructional uploads you do are there to help people who for whatever reason find themselves in situations that require these type of skills.God bless you both x
Cleaning the ashes out will need a shallow flat scoop or dismantling the thing, (which is easy enough.) Maybe leaving a trayin there, so when you are done, just pull it out. I went and built one of these using an old 7″ saw blade as a ledge for the sticks, (I pinched it between the blocks). That way, you need only 23 blocks if you don’t need any for the kettle stand. I also I put it on a small table I had around the house, so the dog isn’t tempted, and I don’t have to squat. Thanks, I’ve been wanting to make one “forever,” and yours looked so easy, I finally got mine made. Thanks!
