All components are made from 4 1/2- inch stainless steel pipes, because that was what my friend had at hand (scrounged them many years ago). This is the first stove he has made, kind of a «prototype». There are many instructional videos on youtube, some of them are actually quite good (search for «rocket stove»).
The «feet» are just rings from the pipe, welded together. It is actually quite stable, but more rings could be added easily. I’ll consider this as I get to test it more. A wider «crown» at the top might also be a good idea.
One design feature I’d like to recommend, is having a functional lid at the oblique pipe, where you put the firewood. Not all designs incorporate this. It seems to make a huge difference in air-flow, and effect.
