Magma Rocket Stove welding kit – 3 & 5 mm Corten steel

Developed by Ülfi, cut by 4A Métal, built by you.

The Magma is a rocket stove developed by Ülfi. Compact, robust, and designed from heavy-gauge Corten steel, it was conceived to offer efficient combustion, excellent stability, and a very long service life.

This kit version uses the exact same model as the one developed by Ülfi. All parts are laser-cut in our workshop and ready for assembly. It is up to you to handle the tacking, welding, and finishing.

The concept

Why choose the kit version?

This kit is intended for metallurgy enthusiasts, welders, and professionals who want to build their own rocket stove while benefiting from a proven design. You get the same steel, the same parts, and the same design as the assembled version. It’s a way to enjoy a genuine Ülfi product while taking pleasure in building it yourself.

Uses

Who is this kit for?

  • Amateur welders looking to complete a real project
  • Metalworkers and artisans
  • Training centers and welding schools
  • Fire cooking and metal fabrication enthusiasts
Design

Assemblies designed for welding

The Magma is not just a collection of cut plates. The parts have been designed with interlocking systems to facilitate their positioning during tacking. Assembly is faster, squaring is easier, and the components remain correctly held in place before welding.

The material

Why choose Corten steel?

Corten is particularly well-suited for outdoor cooking equipment. It naturally develops a protective patina that limits corrosion while giving the product an authentic look. Its excellent durability makes it a material perfectly suited for a rocket stove intended to be left outdoors.

A peculiarity to keep in mind

Corten steel is not painted: it naturally develops a protective patina when exposed to air and moisture. This characteristic applies to the kit version as well, but it has a consequence for welding: Corten requires slightly different settings compared to standard steel (speed, intensity), which should be anticipated if you have never welded this type of steel.

🇫🇷 4A Métal & Ülfi

A design born from field experience

Before being offered as a kit, the Magma was designed, manufactured, and tested in our workshop. This is not just a simple laser-cutting project: it is a real cooking product developed by the Ülfi team and then adapted into a kit version for metal fabrication enthusiasts.

All Magma kit parts are cut on our laser machines in our workshop in Romilly-sur-Seine (Aube, France), then inspected before shipping to ensure precise assembly and consistent quality.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Are the parts already interlocking?

Yes, the laser-cut interlocking ensures correct positioning before tacking — you do not have to align the parts by hand.

What welding equipment is needed?

A MIG/MAG or TIG welder capable of welding 3 to 5 mm Corten steel is suitable.

I prefer the pre-assembled version, where can I find it?

The pre-assembled, ready-to-use version is available directly from Ülfi.

The Magma is not just a kit of cut sheet metal

It is a genuine Ülfi product that we offer you the chance to build yourself.
