Lapis Lignum's video: How to make a rocket stove with folding legs all on the ground

Making a rocket stove with folding legs and removable pot support I've seen a few rocket stove builds but never felt the need to build one until camping overnight in an area with only little sticks for firewood, I built it this way to keep it compact. It works fine without a lid for the stick hole or an inlet air damper, but these can be added later if required. It only took a big handful of sticks to bring a pot of water to the boil and cook some 3 minute noodles, but did take some stoking, a fire grate would probably help. Unfortunately my local steel supplier didn't have any rusty tube, Vinegar is excellent for removing the zinc coating, but limited time and vinegar meant I had to grind it off near the areas to be welded. stove 0:00 the square tube appears 0:03 measuring and marking first cut 0:09 first drop-saw cut 0:34 first angle grinder cut 1:18 measuring and marking wood chute hole in riser 1:25 moving fixed drop-saw clamp jaw to allow top face cut in tube 1:39 making horizontal cuts for wood chute 1:51 clamping guide strips in place and making vertical cuts for wood chute 2:16 completing cuts with jigsaw, hacksaw blade and hammer 2:27 cleaning up and beveling edges to be welded 3:14 vinegar soak to remove zinc plating 3:48 rinsing parts with water 3:53 sanding edges to be welded 4:08 positioning wood chute to riser for welding 4:16 Turning up the welder current to "all of it" 4:21 tack welding wood chute to riser 4:30 bad part fitup and bad welding = blowing holes and welding up the holes 4:46 slightly better welding 5:14 welding air inlet to riser 6:00 a grinder and no paint making me the welder I ain't 6:13 test firing the traditional orientation, works well! 6:33 test firing the alternative orientation, doesn't work. 6:56 cutting rebar for legs 7:07 marking length of pivot pins 7:11 cutting pivot pins 7:17 cleaning up cut ends with grinder 7:26 grinding down nut flanges 7:38 sanding rust off pivot pins and legs 7:44 sanding rust and zinc off underside 7:54 laying out position of pivot pin on underside 8:04 marking out welding jig for attaching pivot pins to legs 8:10 welding pivot pins to legs 8:57 welding pivot nuts to underside 9:18 folding leg demonstration 9:26 cleaning up stove with strip pad in little grinder 9:43 preparing material for removable pot support 9:56 welding locating feature to removable pot support tube 10:15 pot support tube finished 10:19 welding standoffs to pot support tube 10:35 making pot support cross 10:47 welding pot support cross to standoffs 10:55 welding on additional pot support rods 11:18 wire wheeling removable pot support 11:27 fitting pot support to riser tube 11:32 lighting the fire 11:53 putting a pot of water on to boil 12:13 putting noodles in boiling water 12:35 tipping cooked noodles into bowl with flavor dust 12:46 putting flavor oil into hot water 13:08 adding flavor oil to noodles 13:24 stove color from heat, side view 13:29 flames through pot support Material used: 100mm(4") 5mm(7/32") wall zinc plated square tube flat iron, rebar nuts Tools used: speed square dropsaw grinder with thin cutting discs, grinding discs, sanding pads little grinder with stripping pad jigsaw hacksaw blade hammer ebay inverter ARC welder (6013 rods)
