Was born near benghazi in Tripoli were my dad served in the army in 1965, found a benghazi burner at an old TA centre in Yorkshire it was simple large metal upbend tube submerged in a dustbin filled with water, had an oil dripfeed can on the top of the ubend , it was lite with a small peace of cotton used as a wick tossed into the bottom of the tube. Got incredibly hot! Use it once but couldn't find it on Internet, seen it used for water heating and soup cooking in the 1954 film Zulu. I live in Germany now and build some of your devices, love to see it used on your show or a modern take!

Robert thank you so much for answering all of my questions. Great video btw. At the time we (my family ) were living on 5 acres in the US. Natural Gas was not available to our area. So we used to have a wood burning stove in the living room area, , The primary heating system for the house was outrageously expensive. It was electric baseboard heating. Therefore we used the wood stove for the entire house. The 2 main drawbacks to a wood burning stove is the incredible amount of work involved especially cleaning out the ash, and the cost of fuel. Not all types of wood are created equal ? i.e. Soft woods like PINE burned up very fast vs. hard woods like OAK which would last all night with a single log.. All that being said there was definitely a reason why our forefathers continued to search for better burning less labor intensive methods of heating their home such as natural gas forced air furnaces! 😀😀😀

It occurs to me that a way cheaper way to do this (for people on a bit if a budget) would be with standard stove pipe instead of plumbing pipe- as all those fittings exist for that just off the shelf anywhere they sell stove stuff (from 4 through 8" diameter). Though the T might be tricky to find. It would not be as long lasting, but it would be a great deal lighter and half or less the price. Good option for an emergency or camp type stove. You could also hybrid that- using the heavy plumbing T for your fire box, and the lightweight stove fittings for the rest of it.

Just encase the metals in a cob so that when the steel burns and/or starts to rust through (as it will), you'll still have a working stove. If you want the cob to be lighter, stronger, and more insulative, instead of sand, use a mixture of fumed silica and diatamaceous earth, and instead of straw/hay use fiberglass clothe or chopped strands. And add some perlite to the mixture as well. The combo of fumed silica, DE, and perlite will make it lighter and more insulative, and the fiberglass clothe or chopped strands will make it stronger. Once everything is fully dried/cured, coat it all with some thinned, high heat silicone to make it more water resistant. (Obviously it won't be a portable camp type stove anymore though. Will be too heavy and/or fragile for that). Another lighter method is to skip the steel part, get some fiberglass clothe, ceramic fiber insulation, and make a 3 part water glass mixture (60% sodium silicate to 30% potassium silicate to 10% lithium silicate), sandwich the ceramic fiber insulation in between two layers of fiberglass clothe, coat the outisde of the fiberglass with the silicate mixture and shape to desired shape and let it fully dry while in that shape. Once fully dried, coat outside in thinned high heat silicone. This will be A LOT lighter than the steel + cob version. To shape it, you can lay it over cardboard and then burn that out later. (why that particular mixture of water glasses? I've read some research that indicates it lasts longer and is stronger than straight up regular water glass [sodium silicate in the states and potassium silicate in Europe]. Makes sense because you have 3 different sized molecules that are in a sense, locking together more closely with each other).

Plumbers use trivets that is sized to perfectly fit their pipes, for cowls. You put the trivet over the end of the pipe, then you place some sort of cap over it which allows air to flow but prevents debris falling into your pipe/flue, and makes it more awkward for birds to get in.

My one is an old gas bottle 9L and a 304 stainless pipe about 4 in. I filled the gas bottle with normal concrete as I did not want it to tip over. I did buy perlite to make the light concrete but it would be too dangerous for the people around so I went a high lime normal concrete. It works on oil but if I drill a few holes it will do wood. The main air inflow is about 15 deg so unburnt oil will drip out. I will put a stainless steel scourer in. We used to burn it in place before the lorries took it away.

This is the cheapest way possible and in a survival situation, or a apocalyptic scenario, something that you can scrounge together. Please experiment and make a video on this...

A cheap recommendation, if it's possible, try and source some old water pipes. If there are any industrial or large commercial buildings being worked on, you may be able to get all the needed fittings for free. A local hospital shut down a few decades ago, and got sold recently. For the past 5 years, maybe more, it has been under development as it's being turned into residence. They are still removing old iron pipes that they need to dispose of, they would be happy for me to come and take some away for free. Just make sure it was only used for water.

Controlling intake of air could be quite easily achiueved by simply sitting a plate over the hole. Lean it against the hole, and the angle it is leaning defines how much it restricts the air flow. Or you could lift the plate up and down to partly cover the hole, but that would probably be a little more awkward.

It looks like a nice clean burn on the video so you probably don't need to change anything, but in my reading on wood gasifiers it seems that the down-draft types (like that basically is) use a taper at the bottom of the fuel hopper to force the heavier gasses given off by the wood to pass through the hot charcoal at the bottom and break up in to H2 and CO before being used, or in your case, burned. I wonder if that's a concept you might like to play with. Do you have plans to build a gasifier and run an engine off it? That seems like the next logical step.

Hey @Robert Murray-Smith , really enjoying the content recently. Thanks for demystifying the rocket stove / mass stove and some of the basic concepts. Tell me, is there any benefit to a rocket stove over a well made cast iron log burner ? As you said in the video, the efficiency is gained from capturing the wood gasses and burning them rather than being lost to the wind so what's the difference?

The DEFRA smokeless rated log burners are very similar as they recirculate the exhaust back through the front of the fire before exiting. The difference is the thermal mass of the stove and insulation and length of chimney before exiting the room (through wall or up traditional chimney) but will require more fuel as the burn chamber is so much larger

Presumably the size of the burn chamber just constrains how much material can be combusted at any one time and therefore the power output? If the heater is matched to the size of the room then surely a larger burn chamber is going to be desirable in order to produce enough heat to overcome the thermal losses and bring the room up to temp in a sensible time frame. I would have thought that heating a larger space with a stove as small as the one in this video would take rather a long time comparatively and would have to be refuelled several times over before a desirable temperature was reached.

I have seen these made in the woods from hollowed logs and standing tree stumps. I have also seen them in 3rd world countries made from cement block.

you should be able to screw in a handle from a rolling pin into that brass piece to keep it and allow you to take off the feed cap. Sorry I forgot to comment this last night.
