Hi! I still haven't gotten around to try making one.

However I did come across an interesting one that can also be used for baking pizza or sit next to. I haven't seen anything similar commercially available.

It's also made from corten steel.

Curious to hear what you guys think about it? I think it looks quite cool and I like the functions it provides. However I would be a bit worried about Its longevity.

A downside is that it will probably be extremely hot on the outside.

Cheers!

Thanks for these recommendations!

I feel like the k style often seems to smoke back the wrong way and I am also a bit concerned if the material (corten steel) really can withstand the heat without spalling or degrading? I don't know how hot these stoves that are not insulated can get.

Seems like building a j style with fire bricks is a better way to go in the long run!

Hi all!

Hi all, my first post here.

I've been trying to find a simple design for a rocket stove to use for occasional outdoor cooking. Originally I was thinking to purchase a k style made of corten steel. However, I have read here that k style isn't the best and that steel isn't ideal because of the high temperature that can be reached inside. Therefore I started looking at building one using fire bricks. But I also read that firebrick might not be ideal in a wet climate?  But maybe it would be ok if It's covered when not in use?

I don't want to spend too much time on this but I really want a design that gives very little smoke.

So any suggestions on what to make would be highly appreciated. Or if I should just go ahead and purchase one in steel. Not many models to choose from in Sweden I should add.

All the best,
David
