How to cast a smokeless stove with cement and paint bucket

if you like the video please subscribe

MAJOR WARNING: NEVER USE CONCRETE FOR FIRE PITS. Any absorbed moisture can literally cause the concrete to explode under high heat. Always use a product that is rated for high temperature.

Really cool, although. Use Fire clay in the cement mix to greatly improve resistance to the heat. Moisten the hardened cement for the first few days to harden it and be sure allow it to cure / harden for 21 to 28 days prior to the first firing-and start with small fire-increasing it gradually.

Vibrate the bucket with a hand sander after the main pour and it will remove the air bubbles for the face of the casting.

I love a how to video that doesn't tell you a thing about ingredients used or what to use. Awesome!!!!!

You know what fascinated me most!?! When you took off the entire cement out from the bucket without pounding it, and guess what you only used hot water!?! 😲 I think i learned some new tricks from you! Thanks for that!

If I were to try to build one I'm sure I wouldn't change much, this looks very fun and practical

Lots of exploding cement comments on here and it depends solely on the cement used. If you use regular cement, then it will likely crack or possibly explode if the cement was wet. However there are cements made for this type of application. They are usually called high heat furnace or high temperature refractory cements. Those types of cement are non porous and can withstand direct flame without cracking or exploding. Provided you set (vibrate the concrete) and cure them correctly to avoid air pockets. The non porous nature of these types of cements, will prevent moisture from absorbing into the cement and causing catastrophic explosions to occur. Basically use all products for what they were intended for and read the product instructions to make sure you are using it correctly.

You can greatly improve the strength of the hardened concrete by keeping it damp for a month or so, after it sets. Cement does not harden by drying, but by reacting with water. Longer reaction time = more strength.

Several people have requested a material list in the description, which is a great idea. What is the oil in the beginning? What type of cement mix to buy to withstand high temperatures? What is the green and white objects placed in the bucket? This would be good info to have to make this more of a "how to" video and less of a "watch me make" If you are not going to provide a materials list, then just change the title of the video to Watch Me Cast a Stove From A Paint Bucket"

Muy bonito, muy bonito el aporte en conocimiento a los demas por parte de ese maestro es una gran persona.

TOTALLY building one of these! Great video!👍

I am DEFINITELY making one of these for my cast iron wok. Love it! Thankyou

Great stove. Best I've seen on KZhead. So versatile. Great video.

You have to use a type of cement called”Refractory cement” for this type of stove.Regular cement can not withstand the heat and will crack.Can’t believe he would put that much work into this project and not know this.Otherwise a great build.

Fantastic video, great process and finished product.

Okay, people, be wary of this thing: chances are, you'll keep it outdoors. That means it will get wet. Concrete absorbs moisture like a sponge. So when you fire it up, the moisture inside turns to steam and there's a better-than-average chance it will blow up like a bomb. You could get hurt. Seriously hurt. The guy who made this video knows this - if not, he certainly should. And there should be some warning about it.

Magnífico... gracias por compartir.

that was ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT ! AWARD WINNER LOVE IT

This was great! Love the idea. Just need to source the proper cement and I will build one myself.

O melhor fogão que ja vi. Simples prático e muito fácil de fazer, meus parabéns

New subscriber on May 23, '22. This rocket stove is new to me and I will make one in a week or two. I have several new cooking items that I have saved for the rocket stoves and plan to "break them in" this hurricane season. I am on the Alabama Gulf Coast and always like to be prepared for the June to November wild weather months. Thanks for the great video.

I definitely have to try this. I want to clear my garden this year and bring in some rocks, so a stove will be ideal once that's done!

You have knowledge, the oven is simple and fast. Thanks for your sharing.

I see that the exploding cement topic has already been addressed👍Mainly its the water trapped inside. Even if its the correct cement, it needs to be slowly heated over the course of a few days. The the cement needs to be completely dry inside and out

They make furnace cement that can be used outdoors and withstands over 2000 degrees F . You just have to make sure you buy the right kind

Respect ! simple but 200% efficient !

That's really wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

To increase the concrete strength and to minimise moisture in the concrete, use a vibrating saw ( jigsaw, sabresaw, multitool etc) without a blade, on the outside of the bucket to vibrate the mix immediately after filling the bullet. Having said that, this type of fire is VERY dangerous, and can explode due to the moisture in it expanding as it heats.

Nice one. Correct size, well planned, top job done 🔥👍

Thank you for good editing and not yammering stupidly all through the video. Good video.

Marvellous master piece. Totally smokeless.

Fantastic and easy to make, also a wood/charcoal saver!!!!

Great job!👍😍 Please tell me how you prepare the cement mortar? What are the proportions of water, cement, sand?

Very Cool. The human's ingenuity never ceases to amaze! If I may, one thing I might've done, is put "more foam at the bottom, and put it to one edge. The reason being, it would be the size of a small metal drawer/tray, that could be easily removed for the ashes... ;)

Very nice, simpel and economic design, thank you so much. Greetings from the Netherlands.

A list of materials in the description would be nice

Oi Parabéns!!! Tô pesquisando pra fazer um pra pôr dentro de casa e c/forninho.Vcs fazem os melhores 👍🏻

I love your work man ... very nice and neat ..... I would love to make one of those .. would you please tell me what kind of cement I need to use?? I would really appreciate that a lot . Thank you for sharing this with us by the way.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!!

Gostei muito parabéns pela sua criatividade,

Acetone would melt the foam cores almost instantly instead of having to dig or burn them out.

Hello my new friend! Thank you so much for sharing your great video! ❤️

Very nice design, love the hot water release trick.

Very cool job, however will it last without cracks?

Nice, but I did not see any rocket action and the top of the flue was not shown. Was it only smokeless on the cook surface?

Me encantó la idea!! Saludos

Awesome! I like the idea of the vent pipe

Smart and creative job,Thanks

We have used the same method but inside the stove we use clay brick and cladding with clay also works very well 👍

Amazing! Exactly what I’m looking for!

Love this very much, well done.

Thank you for this video. Subscribed. Looks like a neat idea but the other posters are correct: You need refractory cement, and you need to keep it wet for four weeks so that the chemical reaction can proceed, for maximum strength. Also, after a month of being kept wet, you need to fire it several times with a very small fire so that any remnant moisture can be driven off.

Amei pra o Interior e otimo

Great design! Thanks for sharing.

At last someone built something smart! Thank you.

My favourite part is the little kitty coming to check the quality of the job lol

So cool, but I wish you put like some words, or a link to words. Some sort of diagram/measurements? What's the goo at the beginning? How'd you cut that foam so perfectly? And agreed you should sell "just add cement" kits, you'd make good money!

I'm impressed by this and sadden because my mind could never comprehend how to do something like this.

All that and in flip flops and socks,,, you make it look to easy 😊,, I have got to try this thanks for a great video

You can make a paste by mixing burnt wood ash with water. Passing this paste on the outside of the pan before cooking is much easier to wash off.

Thank you , i must try this one when i have time 🙏😇🙏

That’s a beauty! Love it

Very nice simple design and cheap!

Amei muito pratico👍🇧🇷

Que belo trabalho, muito útil. 👍👍👍

Супер печь !!!! А вот если её глиной обмазать, просто для эстетического эффекта .Вы молодец!!!!👌👍

That is the prettiest stove I’ve seen nice job 👍

Use clay or silica sand + furnace cement mix instead of structural concrete based on Portland cement.

Excelente👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

That is amazing and really creative! you should be well chuffed with yourself, what great talent. I liked and subscribed.

Love it. Gonna be living in the mntns at a building site at 2000 meters. This is gonna seriously help me win 'cribs' bushcamp edition 😁

Wow, when I first read the title I was* disgusted thinking about a stove made out of paint and cement, but Watching this video satisfyingly showed me how unique and magical a simple process like this can turn out to be nothing more but absolute perfection. It's so incredible to realize how simple some household items can be such a great use to us. Thank you so much for sharing, I really can't wait to try this myself God bless.🙏

Ficou perfeito 👌 meus parabéns

That is bloody brilliant!

Verdadeiro artista do fogão .

Edit: How to die from fire pit shrapnel. Theres a reason actual fire bricks exist.

Thumb down. You came up with a very nice idea, and took the trouble to show how to execute it. But, people are asking very relevant and important questions here, and you choose to ignore them. So why all the hassle of the video? Too bad.

My favorite part of this is the music. Not kidding. Also, if this guy doesn’t also have his own cooking series too then he’s totally selling himself short.

very nice , Wow

Never ever pick up a pan at 200°C full of oil with bare hands! Oh, and wear body armour when using this stove coz there's a damn good chance it will explode.

So this 150 pound oven is something that might be good for backpacking

When my husband and I had only been married about 2 years. He built a little fire to grill with on the back Cement porch. He put down aluminum foil And placed some wood sticks Bricks and grill! He poured on the lighter fluid and let it soak in to the wood. It also sunk In to the pavement. Luckily he went into the house when it blew. It blue several holes in the concrete and if he had been out there he could have lost the dial or a finger or whatever. Luckily the baby and I were in the house. Yes it's very dangerous season dry submit because that drought have been there in that patio had been there probably 20 years.

It looks wonderful!

Will the cement dont crack teough heat

Really cool, but could you confirm the Materials used - I got the cement and plastic bucket, obviously. Thnx.

Gracias por la idea ,,lo are ,cuida a tu precioso gatito 💕

1st time watching and I’m hooked! If there were a narrative, it’ll make your videos that much epic!! … Awesome job tho my dude and keep em’ coming bro 😎👍✨

Heat will crack cement and sometimes causing it to explode very dangerous.

몇일을 굳게 하고 틀을 분리하나요 너무예쁘고 좋아요 한번 시도 해보려구요

I love it ! Thank you !

beautiful! Thanks!

Wow it's amazing

Очень хорошая идея, благодарю! Мне кажется нижний отсек маленький, не удобно очищать и быстро будет заполняться?

Gostei muito parabéns pela sua criatividade.

I want to sent you Congratulations. Your work is Very nice. Here in Brazil You Will dele a lot.

Wear eye protection when using it, because it will probably explode.

Concrete can explode in a big way when it gets hot. You absolutely need to get all air bubbles out of the concrete. Not just around the side

Nice work. I am gonna try surely

G'day mate fantastic idea. I make a lot of things out of steel and going to give that a go for sure. What is the ratio of sand and cement do you need for heat 🤔. 🍻
