DIY Project: Rocket Stove

DIY Project: Rocket Stove

Welcome to this exciting video where Joe will take you on a journey through the step-by-step process of building a rocket stove, from inception to completion. Using a three-sixteenth-inch steel cut with a CNC machine that he personally constructed, he brought to life the Sunburst design by Jim Biebler. Grab your tools and materials, and let's get this DIY party started!
