Extremely efficient, you can cook a meal with extremely small amount of wood. When finished and the Rocket Stove has cooled down, you can turn over and simply dump out the ashes and is ready to use next time. There always seems to be a lot of twigs and small branches at camp sites but no large firewood in sight (previous campers used it). There are very little ashes left when done. If you are cooking or multiple hours, you will need to dump the ashes out every couple of hours. The stove is designed for cooking purposes and not for heating The Rocket Stove is insulated inside to force the heat out the top where your pan is.

It has a steel tongue which is the flat metal bar coming out of the bottom opening for setting longer pieces of wood into it and for a much better air draw underneath for the fire.

Lighting a fire in these rocket stoves usually takes only one match, if you follow these instructions and/or just practice a bit. Put your rocket stove on your picnic table or something tall so you can see into the burn chamber, or put it on the ground and get yourself a small mirror and set it on the feed plate so you can see how your fire is doing without constantly bending over. Next, wad up two or three pieces of paper down to approximately a one inch diameter and drop them down the top of your stove so that they can drop right to the bottom of the rocket stove. Next put two pieces ¼ inch by 7 inch kindling in the feed hole and drop a couple of additional one inch size wads of paper down the top. You can also drop two or three 4 inch long and ¼ inch diameter kindling pieces of wood down the top. Next roll up a piece of newspaper or start a twig on fire, and put it into the rocket stove under the plate into the bottom chamber, this chamber is used as the air intake after the fire gets going. Experiment with lighting your rocket stove and keeping it going. I have found that after the chamber gets quite hot you can increase the size of your wood (if you have access to larger pieces) so you won’t have to tend it as much. I have an abundance of old construction wood like two by fours and such that I have gathered up from job sites over the years which after being split up with a small hatchet work perfectly to feed these rocket stoves after the fire initially gets going. My wife and I bought your Rocket stove a couple months ago for a preparedness item. We have used it several times now and love it!

We consider this stove one of our top 3 preparedness items, and we have a lot of different things for emergencies. Again, thank you for such a great preparedness item!! Questions From Other Members. Q: Does this get as hot as a stove burner? In other words, can I do anything on this rocket stove that I can do on my electric stove (like canning, etc). These Rocket Stoves are definitely durable enough to go camping with you in the back of your truck. I would recommend you use a bungee cord to hold it in place not so much for the rocket stove’s sake, but for your truck bed. Q: Hi, A couple questions for you. Roughly how long does it take to boil a standard size pot of water? Think double batch of Top Ramen size. Is it practical for grilling? What style of insulation is used for the chimney portion? Is it similar to the ceramic / clay do-it-yourself styles out there? Last, I’m interested in the larger model that could also be used indoors. Feb-14-09 A: Once the fire is going it will boil water at least as fast as a gas range. It works great for grilling, just throw your pan on the top and get started. The insulation is a type of rock that acts as an insulator. Q: I notice on the YouTube videos of the stove that there are little spacers at the top of the stove for airspace and room for the flames to come up and round the bottom of the cooking pot. Also, can one place a rack over the opening and grill over it? What about placing some kind of makeshift oven over the opening also? I always like to get as many uses as I can out of one device. Thank you for answering all of my questions. Jan-17-0 A: Excellent questions, the Rocket Stove is designed so that you can cook directly on top of it with a pan or pot. I don’t see any problems with put. The item “Wood Burning Rocket Stove-Camping/Hunting Cooking Stove” is in sale since Tuesday, July 28, 2009.
