  Anyone else just plainly jealous over not finding a piece of scrap like that?

  Instead of insulation, Add pipes for future water heat exchange and fill the empty space with sand and it'll be a sand battery. inner walls should be insulated for better heat retention.

  As gas cylinders are most often filled by exchange I don't need new cylinders, just serviceable ones so I accumulate them buying used (in the US via Facebook Marketplace, shop closing auctions etc) and it doesn't take very long to have MANY full cylinders as I immediately exchange them. I keep LP cutting tips (LP is cheaper than acetylene but uses more oxygen) too and LP has the advantage that bouncing about in a truck doesn't require settling time like acetylene. Moderns seem afraid of torch work (yet cook on grills and use gas stoves) so used quality torch and regulator outfits are easy to find.

  I had a idea which incorporates a similarly sized rocket stove, and where you put the rock wool I would replace it with wood. Turning the whole thing into a charcoal retort as well as a stove.. obviously allowing for the top to be opened to remove charcoal/replace wood. The other thing I would do is using some pipe from the wood/charcoal zone, plumb it back to the stove burner so that the wood gas helps to fuel the fire.

  Great hand/arm control with the welding and cutting torch. Nice.

  Love your build wouldn't thought that would make a good rocket stove . I live where the oilfield is gone so there is probably some manifolds laying around.

  It’s a joy to watch this expert lay down such beautiful weld beads even on outside corners!
