Building a Concrete Rocket Stove

We’ve seen multiple rocket stoves in action. The StoveTec, the SilverFire, the Grover; they’re all pretty neat… and they’re all pretty expensive.

Rocket stoves aren’t rocket science. With some ingenuity, there are plenty of ways to build your own… but today’s design takes the cake.

If you’re tired of coffee-can rocket stove designs, this concrete rocket stove is the ticket to not-getting-cut-on-your-super-efficient-cookstove land.

Steven with Cook Different shows us how it’s done:

Our only suggestion to improve this design would be to add some notches at the top to allow a pan to be placed directly on top of the rocket stove without needing the addition of pieces of tile.

Overall, this is a truly impressive and very cheap homemade rocket stove design.
