Learn How to Build a Rocket Oven – 2.5 Hours of Video for 10 Measly Bucks!
The Duke of Permaculture, Paul Wheaton is well-versed in efficient, clean, wood-fueled fire. I’ve told you about his Rocket Mass Heater stuff, but that’s just one application of rocket stoves. Another is the Rocket Oven, and Paul has a movie with everything you need to know to build your own, including materials, tools, and safe practices. As someone who loves good food and appreciates resilient home technology, I’m particularly interested in this one. As you’ve heard me say, 2 is one, and 1 is none, so build yourself a back-up oven.
So what is it? A Rocket Oven does everything your regular oven will do and more, without the need for natural gas or electricity. If you’re trying to find ways to reduce your reliance on the grid, build yourself a rocket oven. It is perfect for off-grid, covert, survival scenarios, as well as everyday use. They use so little fuel, you can fire it with yard waste or even cardboard in a pinch.
Ten bucks gets you two and a half hours of top-notch instruction from Tim Barker and Tyler Morrison, masters in the appropriate technology field, who show you their previous rocket ovens and why this design is the best. They present a detailed, simplified, step-by-step system for building your own rocket oven. Material costs are kept low, no welding is involved, and no prior experience is required.
Cob ovens are popular in the permaculture community, and backyard pizza ovens are common across the country. But they are heavy, they can be difficult to build, they take hours to heat up, and they waste a lot of wood. That’s why people quit using them after a season or two, or only use them a couple times a year. Rocket ovens, on the other hand, are moveable, much lighter than cob or stone ovens, and they are way simpler and less expensive to build. Paul’s Rocket Ovens movie gives you all you need to know to build your own!

Thank you Jack. Purchased!
Hi Jack. I’d like to purchase the rocket oven dvd, but I don’t have paypal. In fact, I just cancelled my paypal account. I clicked on the “pay by credit or debit” link and it still takes me to a page to open a paypal account using my credit card. Can I pay using a M.O or cashier’s check? Thanks!
Hi Jack,
Me have same prollem. I won’t use paypud, ever, for a variety of excellent reasons. Does Paul take crypto or traditional payment, do you know?
Do you think this is something that all small businesses in this space ought to consider (losing customers because of pp)?
Thanks
Mike
Permies lets you check out with your cc, even without a paypal account. Paypal, however, sometimes doesn’t let users pay without a paypal account, due to many reasons. Sometimes, people try a different card, a different browser or device, or a different location, and are able to pay via paypal without an account. Paul has a lot to say about this over in the permies forums, including ways to pay with crypto and other stuff.
Jack,
When paid for will I be able to down load video for future use?
Thank you.
Hi Mark, yes, there is a downloadable version available. I answered your question more fully over at the Ovens thread on permies, but I can’t link it here due to Jack’s spam filter. You can follow the links in his post to see the full info.
I saw some plans else where on this site that look like they are for this oven. They are dated 2018 though.
Are they for the latest version of this oven?
I would perfer to work from prints as apposed to video.
Hi, FreeYeti, I believe the video is documenting Tim Barker’s workshop at Wheaton Labs. That was in 2018 if I remember correctly. So the plans are as up to date as the video. You’d have to see the forums on permies.com for any updates.
