Low-tech DIY Rocket Stove Water Heater PART I // Construction

Heating water using a Rocket Stove is the best low-tech solution to heating my Biogas Digester. In this video I build the rocket stove with copper coil ready for PART II where I will hook it up to the water system and fire it up.

The parts for this stove a cheap and it is easy to build, check out below for a parts list. I have tried to keep it as simple as possible so it can be done with any materials at hand. Th most difficult thing to source will be the copper 10mm tube.

Parts used to build the rocket stove:
Re-claimed Chimney
10m 10mm Copper microbore coil
Sharpe Sand Bags x 2 (any hardware store)
Roofing Tiles / Slate / Rubble

This is the start of an experiment to get an off-grid water heater that could heat my digester. There are many ways you could go about this, I have chosen to go for the most low-tech solution possible and work up from there. Let me know what you think.
