    Hey FHC, long time no see! Thought I'd drop by and share my latest rocket stove video with my wood hoarding crew. In this one I share what I've learned from building stoves using this material over the years.

    For this video, I built a little sauna at my cabin, this tech works great to quickly build a little heater for any outdoor space. Hope you guys find this useful!

    Hey Matt, long time. Glad you made it back.:handshake:
    Like Dave said, Brian has been building some rocket stoves. He hauled one out to Dennis' for the spring gtg. Fun to see and watch how fast they make heat. Brian is getting some great burn times also.
    Let's see your other appliances. :yes:

    Hi Matt,
    Good to see you!

    I keep saying we need a new rocket stove/heater sub forum here, huh Grizzly Adam ;)

    If you haven’t tried compressed sawdust fire brick fuel in your batch box Stoves, do me a favor and give it a try? It’s extended burn times 3 or 4 fold in my prototypes and I’m thinking this is probably universal due to their density and lower surface area, but still providing the most intense burns.

    My current stove prototype, using a ceramic fiber board core and a batch box (which you may have already seen at the rocket heater forums): 29F4B6CC-620E-4CE8-AF20-3DC43C8937B0.jpeg 6CD07DED-FCB3-4A84-9C35-7C5D213C5AD3.jpeg 0E847961-9997-4B75-A6BB-74D1D3D73111.jpeg 3B522C1F-62F3-4505-B07B-ECBA2FAC5C52.jpeg
