Boil water 4L is a little more than a gallon so 2 pop bottles will be a gallon passed through the much smaller pan. The 1st pot I sterilized the pee cups. 2nd pot boiled water and then drop egg in boiling water it cracked in 2m. Then I poured the boiled water in my vegi broth. Put a raw egg with the cracked one to boil in the last pot.

May I make a temporary j-tube stove from brick/stone and use it to boil water for this bb?  It would not be welded together with metal.  It would not (although I could) have cob to seal it.  Just brick or stone stacked to make a j-tube stove to cook on.  I'll use it to cook outside when it's too hot to cook inside.

Thanks, Tina

It was pretty fun and crazy to see just how little wood you need to use to boil water when you have a super efficient wood burning contraption.  

Come to the PTJ and do BBs in your spare time ;)

Using a j-tube RMH cooktop at Wheaton Labs during the SKIP, I was able to boil one gallon of water.

Boiled some water for my dinner on the jtube cooker at Wheaton Labs.  I didn't have a gallon measuring device so I used what I estimated to be a gallon and a half, when compared to a 2 gallon bucket.  Behold!

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.
