Question Cooking Salmon Fillets on the ole Rocket Stove

Anyone out there in G&G land built and/or used a rocket stove?


If so, please feedback on your experience(s) doing so.

After some additional research on rocket stoves...

...I came across the StoveTec rocket stove: StoveTec Wood-Charcoal Stove

And, there was a group in my area doing a bulk buy last week...

...so I ordered a few of them for family and friends.

They'll be here in about 10 days...

...just in time to give them a try on a hunting trip.

LTS, those look real well built, deffinetly let us know how they work for you on your hunting trip... will you be using it for heating as well as cooking or for just a cooking application?

I'll have to check into one of those. It has a good draft. I normally dig out a one by two hole in the ground with one end open, and put a grate on it but some parks won't let you dig. I have a Magma Marine kettle I might convert into one.

By design, this rocket "cooking" stove has very low CO2 and particulate emissions...

...and could be used in a semi-ventilated indoor cooking situation, as found in third world countries.

There are rocket stove models that'll cook and provide indoor "heating" more efficiently and safely...

...without those in the back of our mind asphyxiation/being smoked out concerns:

Honestly I see nothing to rave about pertaining to these stoves. If you could adjust it some how by regulateing the oxigen then maybe it would have merit or possibilitys.

It appears you have to keep it loaded up with sticks that burn up perty quick..........

Thats a lot of bending over to gather up sticks.

But if you can regulate the fire say like a Buck stove then you might have something.

But I would'nt want to lug it around camping cause it's nasty.

Buy a grate and build a camp fire and use bigger pieces of wood and leave them little sticks for one of the 3 pigs...A.H

Have you watched the associated video?

The two door model can burn wood and coal/briquet's...

...and the top door can be shut after the fire is started and coals have formed.

Then, the bottom door is adjustable for draft control...

...and coal/briquettes can be added into the fire chamber, creating a long-burn/high heat cook stove.

This is possibly one of the most efficient cook stoves available anywhere...

Recently, I've been trial/test using two traditional camp/tent stoves...

...and they don't even hold a tiny candle to the fuel use/cooking efficiency of these rocket stoves.
