Hi guys, I invite you to see our rocket oven. I want to thank the knowledge learned from this forum that allowed us to make it. I hope you like it.

Great documentation. I never seem to have my camera at the right time... I love what you have built. Where in the world are you? Will you build anything to protect it from the rain?

Yeah, excellent job of detailing the entire build. Max, you know what to say at 1:11. But it does look like a rather substantial piece of metal
Thanks for posting

But it does look like a rather substantial piece of metal Thanks for posting Turtle Well, it's surounded by cob, it's not inside a building, so it shouldn't kill anybody. But i should have noticed! Metal is doomed! I wonder how hot this thing gets, and how long the heat stays in after the fire is out.

I regret that the language does not allow me to fully understand your words. The fire did not reach any metal part, it will not suffer corrosion. It Does not retain heat, it is not designed for it, it works like your home oven, turn it on, heated, cooking food and shortly after finishing it's cool. No thermal mass. Within an hour running can be heated up to 250 degrees Celsius, you can go higher, but we want to cook not produce coal. The rain problem has been solved with a roof of reeds. I hope that Google translator it's works well.

The fire did not reach any metal part, it will not suffer corrosion. Yes, aurelio, I was referring to the actual flue tube that appears in the video from 1:08 to 1:14. It appears to be a spiral- welded heavy steel pipe thru which the flame apparently travels up to the oven heating chamber. If indeed this is not a steel pipe, I apologize for being critical of the design. We have much experience with steel component failures, due in large part to the high temperatures reached in that portion of the stove Turtle

Yes Totuga indeed is a steel pipe. I know what is the end of this tube in time. Our aim and hope is that when the tube is gone, will stand in coverage mix Arlita (expanded clay balls) with liquid mud. We expect the high temperatures cooked through and become ceramic. I think this is not clear in the video, my intention was detail the steps that others can repeat if interested
Again I hope myself understood.

Looks like a great build when you take into consideration the metal issue that already has been mentioned. I will be building something similar myself for hot weather outdood cooking in Granada province, Spain. Thank you for the inspiration.
Wiscojames: when I put 'Viladecans' in google maps I get the location for this oven as Barcelona, Spain.
