He keeps calling it a rocket stove, but I thought they were called jet stoves. They were originally developed for poor nations like Africa iirc.

I'd love one myself, just not sure on the materials. I don't know if I'd trust cinder blocks. Fire brick is designed to handle heat but they're probably pricey.

Yeah. It's an incredibly easy emergency backup concept.

There's plenty of room for improvements.

I found this, looks like the Vietnamese had their own type of rocket stove since the 1950s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%B2_tr%E1%BA%A5u
