In this video I layout a pretty simple process for building a rocket stove that will you a lifetime and uses a very small amount of fuel (wood, sticks, pinecones, etc) to cook your meals with.

I went ahead and made an attempt at building this stove - cost me about AUD$15.  |

Well, I used the rocket stove last night - had a fire going for about 30 minutes - I only used twigs as big as my little finger - I had it burning for about 30 minutes. The heat it put out was really hot, and, no cracks that I could see.

Used the stove again this past weekend - cooked bacon on it - exceptional heat.
There is starting to come a crack, which I knew wold happen, as i used cheap concrete.
I'll be making another stove, re enforcing it with wire, and adding lime, which should make it heat proof.
I'll post photos when I begin.

Try adding vermiculite. It may help to control the cracking.
There are a heap of search results for "rocket stove vermiculite".
