Well, had the extreme pleasure of visiting Vietnam, and catching up with a member, Strop. Stayed at his place along the Mekong delta for a few nights, and was able to catch up, have a few beers, and throw ideas around. Anyway, his in laws were there at his place, cooking on this little wood fueled cooker. It is small, generates a LOT of heat, and uses small sticks/twigs. They cost about $6AUD to buy in 'nam. I loved this concept, and this will be my new project ( when it warms up - too damn cold outside atm ).

Looks almost like a modified clay flower pot.

Good one. I would imagine that if you had a source of clay you could even fasten one also.

First thing that popped into my head was rocket stove as well. I have made one of these out of stainless steel and an old gas bottle, they work great, as said create good heat and use minimal fuel. mine started like this  and finished up like this,  I ended up adding the 45 degree angle part to be a self feeder. We have cooked on this many time and it works great, The inside of the gas bottle is filled with vermiculite to help hold in the heat. |

plenty available in the swedish / Asian grocery shops in the suburb of Inala ( Brizzy ). we've had one for years. Propane is better for cooking on, but if you've got the time, use them for cooking satay sticks over the charcoal. Very nice !

Jay, no problems mate, thanks for posting, it looks great.
That rocket stove looks grouse, well done! although, is the dome shape more of a wok than a flat pan for cooking or are you putting a pan on the outlet?
Also, can the top allow and extension for exhausting if you were to use that in a smaller enclosed area specific for heating the room?

This is the way I first cooked on it as it was not quite finished, I have also used and engine crane to hold the camp oven and just jacked it up and down to adjust the temperatures.  in the next pic you can see the arms I put on so I can just sit the camp oven on, I have never use the mess it was just in the picture.  and here it holds a chopped done beer keg  |
