Cooking food is one of those challenges that comes with virtually every survival situation. This is particularly true if the issue is a power outage.
While most of us have outdoor grills, if the survival situation is long enough, eventually propane stocks will disappear, and traditional charcoal will become scarce. Depending on the survival situation you face, those outdoor cooking options may not even be available.
It is at either of those points that this amazing rocket stove, made from 24 bricks becomes a viable option for cooking outdoors.
It can be built quickly on any flat surface and besides the bricks, all you need is a wire mesh/grate to hold your fuel a few inches off the ground to allow for air access to your fire.

Need an article on how to build one out of a dugout hole in the ground for “shtf”.
Look up “Dakota Fire Pit” in an old Boy Scout Fieldbook. It’s in there.

Awesome!! Love it
Nice!
Facebook is getting desperate for likes. Lmao so old.
Make it from fire brick or they might explode eventually. Rocket stove temps are extremely high and that heat and expand followed by cool and contract cycles will damage regular bricks.

You could also kiln fire your own pottery and temper your own glass.
But a bunch of other pages are doing the same thing or similar.
We had a full sized one growing up , grilled everything on it

Go back and build another one.
Why don’t you go$#%&!@*yourself FAT$#%&!@*!!!!
and millions of people know EXACTLY the same stuff as you do and learned it at the exact same time….
:- :- :- :-
because millions of people were born knowing the exact same thing, right?
Who carries 24 bricks in their survival pack?
Thats going to be one heavy bug out bag.
What a moron. Use your rifle butt to make a half brick? Who cares what it looks like? Just let one brick stick out the back! If you’re so stupid you have to be spoon fed step by step instructions on how to survive, just give up and die quickly. You’ll only prolong your own suffering while being a burden to the others in your group.
Could come in handy!

Don’t use pavers like the guy in the photo. They can explode if they get too hot. Any real, fired ceramic brick will work safely, so long as you keep them dry.
This and so many more are not survival skills. Like others said who carries a bag of bricks. Why make a compression fire starter and carry it when a bic lighter will last for a long time. What ever happened to the kiss method. Keep it simple stupid.

Ok already!$#%&!@* Every fucking day! We get it already! You can make a little chimney!

This isn’t a rocket stove.
This is a standard stove made from bricks.

For real… This is like the 13th time I’ve seen this on facebook.
Wow, you built a small chimney, this is not special or practical or need to know.
Fail.
Outstanding
Don’t rocket stoves re-burn the exhaust? To make way more efficient.
This works really well. I am thinking about adding a second one so I can have a double burner effect
I would think lugging all those bricks around all day would be a killer
This is for if you are staying in place somewhere.
Need to be fire brick. Regular brick will Crack and fall apart
Ur lost in the woods with a pile of bricks ?
In the woods were you going to find brecks
or stones by the riverbed
I have one of these in the backyard. works fine. it is not intended as something portable you take with you. after a disaster, there are bound to be shattered buildings and this is demonstrating how to use the materials at hand to do the things you need done. there is also another project idea using cinder blocks instead of bricks. deep in the woods you would dig a Dakota Hole instead of a rocket stove. but honestly, how long would most people survive deep in the woods with no access to modern materials? Try reading the short story “Lot’s Daughter” to see what those who did not die in short order in the wild would be reduced to. I guess it depends on what level of civilization you are willing to settle out at once the fall begins.
I have seen bricks and concrete blocks explode after being used like this.
Stones that are wet will explode. It’s not hard to cook BY the fire so just make a regular fire and cook. The whole concept of using bricks to cook something is a waste of time and most importantly calories.
#cool, my #1 !!
great stove , i built a rocket stove once out of a metal bucket,tomato juice can, and a soup can worked great also distilled water in two tomato juice cans on said stove
