Cob Rocket Stove

Earlier in 2024, after the April TN Workshop with Alex - I came home and built a cob rocket stove.

It worked great, until it fell apart completely LOL'

It fell apart because the lime plaster I used incl regular garden lime from the hardware store, and I didn't 'cure' it... or at least that's what I think happened.

I figured out pretty quickly (after the first rain) that the plaster didn't work and never got around to fixing it. A few weeks ago after some very heavy rain it finally toppled over.

I've got a lot of footage I haven't edited yet, IDK if I will get around to it... but below you can see a few pics/vids from the project!

Overall, it was fun. 10/10. But I need to learn more about true lime plaster.
