This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in Wood Heat.

Rocket technology allows us to heat things very fast with wood.  The best thing ever is a rocket oven.  Let's build one!

 
 

Here's a quick cross sectional video of the innards of a rocket oven:


Minimum requirements:
  - Build a j tube rocket oven using your rocket engine core (or from scratch)
  - This is a "white" oven where the smoke doesn't mingle with the food
  - Large enough to fit a standard cookie sheet pan
  - Able to achieve 500F

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The oven parts you're starting with
  - Several points during construction
  - Finished rocket oven
  - Fire going and proof it can achieve 500F
 
Always respect your superiors. If you have any. - Mark Twain / tiny ad
Contemplate spending the next 20 years puttering in permaculture projects
