    I was thinking along the same lines but it's good to see a finished model.
    Nice one

    I've been keen to make one with my new found welding skills (if I can call the blobs I make "skills" at this early stage). Where did you get the pipe - I can't seem to find a nice large pipe to make one with.

    Comb your local scrap yards.You only need an off cut bit 2ft x 4or5"round or square.some Gate posts,use large square section.Looking on line/e.bay.the prices of stock steel are astronomical!

    Youve got a PM.
    First one i made was with tin cans ,second ceramic pipes,in an oil drum.surrounded by gravel.worked great but only good for static operation.

    That answers my question Midas ... Was wondering how efficient the Rockets are if they aren't insulated ...

    Examples on You-Tube usually show'em insulated with sand , ash , or vermiculite ...

    always wondered how portable they would be ... Question answered Ha Ha Ha ...

    Very nice looking stove BTW ... Iron art is right on !!!

    Cheers Whistle
