I have done a 23 day water fast and a 29 day water fast. Im an iron worker with a physical job and I put in lots of overtime. After the 4th day of fasting, its smooth sailing. Energy and mental clarity happens when you switch over into ketosis. Fasting is one of the best things I have ever discovered. I feel and sleep sooooo much better when Im not packing around extra weight (plus all the bennies that come with a long fast) Now I just do a 5 day every month (during one work week) Sometimes I skip a month. The only downside I noticed when fasting is getting lightheaded for a few secs if I stand up too fast.

I love eating keto but since the woman is always getting ahold of free sources of food and is always bring boxes of it home ..... its hard to eat that way. We have a very large supply of food that has to be rotated and used.

Thank you for the warm welcome and reply. I have been a spectator here for some time now and figured it was about time to join. Ill update my profile soon.

I was leaning toward the second myself. The plans for this build is more of a back up way to cook food in case of an emergency. Plus the 1/4 steel tube was free from our scrap dumpster at work. ( Im a fitter / welder )

I have not bought the book. Currently putting all my extra money into being prepared for emergency situations and to get some land to live the permaculture dream on. Ill prob pick it up when ever I get around to making a rocket mass heater.

I will post a photo and let you know how it works soon as I finish it.

Id like to get some input from any of you rocket stove building gurus on a stove Im building. Im trying to determine on where to place the fuel feed tube. I have looked up a million diff plans but they all seem to be different. I have 2 photos here the two diff ways I have seen them built. I also have the option of cutting the feed tube to go centered into the 90 also but, dont have a picture of that.

Another question is would it be a waste of time to build a grate in the bottom horizontal tube. I plan to add an air regulator on the bottom tube and a full cover on the feed tube.

TY
