Making an insulated rocket stove hot water system

The Rescuers Down Under reference "I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing" is pure gold, especially from an Australian.

You're the neatest welder I've ever seen on YouTube.

I assume you are a professional welder - but given that - your work is superb . It is very satisfying & calming to watch . First class in every way .

I always appreciate your work, both with metal and video documentation. We need more folks like you in the world. 😃

The combination of your skills, humor, editing and 'enthusiasm makes for entertaining and informative viewing. Great stuff. Cheers for sharing.

The only thing i could think of to get more thermal transfer is to put some fins on the inside of the vertical pipe. You only have a flat surface there so a lot of the heat is leaving the stove without impacting the water temperature at all. So basically a heatsink in reverse. Stainless is a terrible thermal conductor, so anything added to increase surface area of fire exhaust to stainless to the water would increase its thermal efficiency. You basically want the exhaust to come out as cool as possible, treating the water as "liquid cooling the exhaust".

appreciate all the work you put into filming this and sharing it with YT, living vicariously.

You've always been fun to watch but you've stepped up the entertainment value and it works.

If I lived in Australia, I'd love to buy a unit. Well built and a pleasure to watch. All the best from Indonesia.

Awesome project! Those welds are a thing of beauty!

Jeez those tig beads are bloody perfect mate! Great stove, I really enjoy watching these. Keep it up 👍👍

Its a pleasure to watch a professional metalworker doing his craft. Thank you for posting this educational clip.

My grandfather built something pretty similar in the late 40s after he returned from ww2 for the old homestead he was building, and it worked so well that he never really changed it out till the early 90s mainly because my grandmother wanted something a bit easier, but still kept it as a back up when the power would go off. Its definitely a handy little set up for sure.

Some of the best welding I've ever seen..... looks like it was done robotically it's so neat and precise

I am impressed by this new hot water system and can see a lot of possibilities , the results are very good, looking forward to updates.

For the first four years of my working life I made wood fired boilers for domestic and commercial use , it’s interesting that we are gravitating back to this old tek . My first home had a briquette HWS

Great build. I really enjoyed your process, your skill and the design. I appreciate that you went back and completed the ash diverter. Good for you your wife has such integrity to encourage the remedy. When I was younger I had this skill set, I should revive it.

Ive had my EMU a couple years. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Highly recommend. Its a fantastic edition to the back yard. Lets me turn my apple-tree branches/twigs into summer night fires the family, roast a couple marsh mellows; or just enjoy the heat. Little mess, lots of heat, and just an enjoyable time. Worth every dollar. Dont need to cook on it, can use it on a balcony or backyard. Amazing.

That is some expert level bead work; really tight pattern. You sir are a prolific welder!

That's a really nice build. I like that one. Better than I thought it would be. Makes me want to start playing around again.
