The 16 Brick Rocket Stove - Quick (30 Second) Build - Easy DIY - Simple Instructions

in this instructable i'll show you how to quickly and easily make the 16 brick rocket stove.

This is a "to the point" video showing how to construct the basic "16 brick" rocket stove. full instructions with "burn footage" in under a minute!

rocket stoves use minimal amounts of fuel (small sticks, twigs, leaves etc.) to cook full meals. the heat is funneled directly up under the pan resulting in maximum efficiency. additionally, they are wind and "light rain" resistant. made using only bricks. cost $8.00 (50 cents a brick). note that two "half-bricks" are used in the right hand corner of stove.

start by making the base

finish laying the last 4 bricks and add a burner grate. *or anything that will safely hold the pan above the stove...even 3 or 4 rocks (of roughly the same size) can work.

add twigs, leaves and small sticks and light it up. add fuel as needed. cooks fantastic and can be disassembled with ease.

i've included a second video showing an earlier stove i made years ago. the video shows 3 different sized rocket stoves. a 16 bricker 20 bricker and 24 bricker (all with cooking footage).
