i'm gonna make me a rocket stove. so first up is gathering parts. i've heard the best rocket stoves are ones that are made for a specific pot so that everything fits really snug.
as long as i'm taking time gathering the perfect parts, anyone have an idea what a perfect pot material would be for these high-heat fast fires?
i really like glass, but it's kind of hard to get. i know not to use aluminum. and i have a feeling that cast iron 1) i may not find a good rocket stove size and 2) may heat awkardly on such a stove.
does anyone have any suggestions? I'll most likely just be sniffing around thrift stores for it, but don't want something crappy.

Are you doing something aprovecho-esque? If so, you gotta let us come and be part of it.
I think stainless steel would be the way to go.

rocket stove: a small stove that holds small fast-burning fire that directs heat very efficiently for cooking. I've never made one! I think I'll start with a large coffee can size and experiment.
As I've seen them, in the interior of the coffee can there are other tincans cut and arranged from the bottom (where the fire is lit) to the top (where the pot sits) plus a little chimney to redirect smoke away from the chef.
I'm sure to make some mistakes! But I'll be happy to learn from them. And I'll keep a lookout for a stainless steel pot that will fit on top of a coffee can. It's sure to get sooty and burnt on the bottom, but the bottom of the pot doesn't need to be clean!
I'll keep you posted!

Kelda, did you make your stove?
How did it turn out?
I've heard new (never used) paint cans are good, too, and a little sturdier than coffee cans.
