I'm off to build me a fire monster

Post by Orfy »

Just started on the "Skull" of one of these.
Pizza oven was too small so I'm replacing it with a "rocket monster"

Pictures to follow.

The structures done.
I did it in brick first so the "Skull" was a different shape.

I made me a monkey with it's brain on fire.

I need to finish some details around the mouth and fangs.

Pictures later if I don't open the second bottle of wine. )t'

Crazy fire monkey.

But I wanted something to cook on. It's based on Rocket Stove Technology which uses minimal fuel, creates very little emissions or ash and give maximum efficiency.

Here is my fire monkey (Not Finished yet)

I built a rocket stove a few yeas ago for the allotment Orfy. they really are good. I use mine mainly in summer cooking beetroots on the allotment in a large pan, I then dont have to wait for them to cook for my salad tea when i get home.

Orfy, you are a laner of many talents, how long did it take you to make that, it looks pretty fearsome, was it a good breakfast.

Thank you.

Just an afternoon.

It's quite tame. It's designed to heat a pot with the minimum of wood.
A few sticks and a little kindling will do.
