Brick Wide Rocket Stove

Extra wide rocket stove. I tried the smaller half brick chimney but needed a larger cooking area. Works better for me.

Base Slab

my stove was set on a garden turf patch. I inset the slab by cutting a turf patch and ensured it was level.

1st Course of Bricks

i used 2 half bricks but you could use 2 whole on rear. Ensure snug fit around internal corners. I made grill out of corner plaster beading which i cut into 3 pieces and hammered flat for tray.

2nd Course

3rd Course Onwards

full bricks for subsequent course ensuring snug fit around internal chimney. Alternate brick pattern interlace for each course.

Top Stove Area

Heres my rocket powered grill.
This cast iron grill cost £20 delivered from Andrew James.

This should keep direct smoke off the food. It has a flat and ribbed side. Ideal for burgers n bangers.

Have yet to try it. Will post pics when I do ☺
