Here is what a fellow made and well photographed so I wont re-invent the wheel,I will link to this so you can see construction.

I like it runs on twigs and tiny branches,almost always easy to find.

And a youtube

===============================

This is my version.....

I needed 4 screws,drill,tin snips,2-43 ounce Yuban Coffee cans,2-28 ounce spaghetti sauce cans and 2-14 ounce vegetable cans.


The coffee can has a lip around the top.I cut the bottom off 2nd can and its screwed to the lip of stove can, on the top to make the lid.



I filled mine with sand instead of perlite because I had it and you tubes say sand keeps sides cooler and figure added weight will make it more stable.




So off to amazon for a stove grill and pan,

grill was 5.75

drip pan was 4.79

Girl checking out parts...



Drill 4 holes,screw on drip pan




Finished stove.I like the nice cooking surface




===================
Cost ten bucks and is a FUN 45 minute project (Kids would love it!),you could skip the grill and its free,or you can buy one for 82.00 or 115.00 on Amazon

Spuds... nice job...you have inspired me to follow through with a brick rocket stove...most of the brick models I've seen don't have the air supply channel underneath... I think several short sections of 3/4" pipe laid on the bottom would improve efficiency...something to think about ... hurricane season in 3 months...I like the idea of the taller 24 brick models..other videos show a better overlap of brick seams

Yes, Les,the brick ones look real nice.

Great stove spuds
Thanks for sharing





Les, I made a brick rocket stove and used cement blocks behind it and beaneath it to protect the house wall and floor.



The blocks under the stove have holes. They were put flat on the floor and were spaced out about one inch between them, so they do let air through from below the stove.

I like the taller versions as you don't have to bend over so much to use them. Maybe I will make one this summer and see how it works.

Very nice. Looks like a fun project. Thanks spuds!

Nice Hobo stove design....Going to have to try,or maybe a gassifier?

Saw this,I like it all cheap parts and just press together

Home depot paint can,a Progresso soup can,simple simple simple!

Well the stove had problems. It filled up quickly with coals and couldnt breathe,when I emptied the coals,out came the sand.

Relit it,worked better without sand,but a rebuild is in order....

Before....feeder inlet lower


After....feeder inlet higher to allow room for more coals


The inner burn chamber used to be a Hunts can,now its a larger Juice can


Before,note opening size...


After,notice the larger opening from the bigger can,much better




Instead of sand this time Im using these
---------------------------------
Expanded clay aggregate, is a lightweight ceramic shell with honeycomb core produced by firing natural clay to temperatures of 1100 - 1200 °C in a rotating kiln. The pellets are rounded in shape and fall from the kiln in a grade of approximately 0 - 32 mm with an average dry bulk density of approximately 350 kg/m³. The material is sieved into a number of different grades to suit the application.

With the advantage of light weight, high permeability, high durability and excellent sound and thermal insulating properties, expanded clay is a good 'all round' aggregate for use in an a variety of applications

Bottom of stove and clay pellets


Hydroton Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate added to stove


And bottom cover screwed on (That used to be top cover of version One)

It's B-UUUUU-T-FUL!!
