Hi Rabi, The lady on YouTube built a very nice grill.
As Tereza mentioned, if your charcoal is up on a grate, it will burn better, and your pots need to be closer to the charcoal.
Using clay mud to seal air leaks will also improve performance.
Having said that, I do feel the need to point out that this design is not a rocket stove at all.
This is a charcoal/ wood fire grill made out of bricks, not much better than the brasier, although the bricks will hold some heat.
A true rocket stove burns wood horizontally; it has a distinctive shape with a vertical feed tube, a horizontal burn tunnel, and finally a riser that you cook over.
Designed to produce a smoke-free, super-quick heating fire to cook on.
Once those bricks are heated up, then charcoal can be used to maintain cooking temps.
13 acres in extreme rural Montana 100% off grid since 1983. Solar and micro hydro. Summer time piggy farmer. Restoring 2000-04 Subaru outbacks wagons for fun and a little profit. Not quite old enough to retire YET but closing on it fast... until then I must occasionally leave Paradise "home" and run large construction cranes on union job sites across the inland northwest. I make (Well try) A-2 A-2 cheese, I love cooking with my wood smoker for everything! Would not live anywhere else but rural Montana ! My wife Liz runs "Rocks by liz" a successful Etsy store and we have a summer booth at the Missoula peoples market. We currently breed and raise persian cats but are about to retire all the girls and let them be happy kittys for the remainder of their days.Oh and my biggest thing is... I LOVE MY RMH !
