I’ve made a rocket stove and a cob oven but never a stove out of cement.

It might work but I also would guess it’s not very efficient.

I would try something else. It’s not too hard to make a rocket stove! Thee are a lot of efficient designs available.

I had not knew the concept of "rocket stove" before you all mentioned here. But indeed, some of the cement stoves concept I got on internet are rocket stoves. They just use a plastic bucket as a mold, then add a frame to give strenght, then prepare in the mold the places where will be the 2 big holes and add cement. After this they destroy the mold and a "rocket stove" made of cement is born.

I don't think cement makes sense unless you have some reason it's most convenient. If you do use cement, consider using a refractory cement mix, which is designed to withstand high temperatures without cracking.

Metal and/or firebricks would work well and probably be easier to work with.

Cement made, coal/wood stove — Cement made, coal/wood stove I don't know if it is exactly the place to ask, but since Ive not found another subspace about it, Ive came to try this one. Please erase my topic if it is out of place. I want to know if any of you have tried to made a stove of cement. I've seen some videos on the internet where they do it with a plastic bucket or paper as a shape and then broke it. It seems nice but I doubt a little about it's efficiency. I wanted one to do...
