I got to use the rocket engine today.  Smaller wood and more of it is a good thing when aiming for fast heat.

Here is my submission for the Rocket - Sand - Boil Water on a J-Tube BB.

I used a J-Tube Stove at Wheaton Labs during BB20.  It lit of quickly at 9:03 and I loaded the wood feed at 9:08.  I added more wood at 9:21 and had a rolling boil by 9:30.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
       o pic of starting materials before fire
       o pic of fire started
       o pic of additional wood added
       o pic of water boiling

Could I use a tiny coffee can rocket for this bb? Or like a cinder block j-tube style formation? Or does it actually need to be done with a more permanent model?

It can be a temporary build but I think it has to be a J style

I did this for the first time a couple months ago and am pleased that it went even faster this time. We built both a dual-burner rocket stove and a j-tube rocket stove. I mostly work on the j-tube and I love it! The colder months make working outside less pleasant, but we had beautifully mild weather this morning. Our water pump is giving us rather orange water right now, so I will not be cooking with the unfiltered water.
