Rocket Stove... How it works

I only have one concern and that is the type of wood you use will cooking isn't it suppose to be only like apple wood or mesquite ? I think there are other types but I'm not sure ?

Can you still light a strike anywhere match with your teeth?

👍

The only problem is the flames are too large at the top. So it will burn your pot and could also burn the handle of the pan. They should build a nozzle at the top or incease the lengh of it so that the flames that reach a pan or pot are minimal.

you dont seem to know how a rocket stove works they are smokeless of you adjust the air flow right and it causes a rocket sound... you just burnt some wood on a pipe and had no clue how it works

Well that rocket stove isn't very rockety there's no secondary burn. I was under the impression that the rocket stoves efficiency is a result of a secondary burn in the vertical flue resulting in 50% more heat at the hot end.
What this is, is a very nicely made rocket style fire cooker.

Not sure these are true rocket stoves, a true rocket stove has a horizontal burn chamber and an insulated riser where it gets extremely hot and the secondary burn takes place, these are basically a self feed camp stove, it’s very cool but not really what it’s name says

That seemed to generate a lot of smoke ...I think reducing the Climate Impacts and health impacts of our energy use with dry, locally sourced wood depends upon generating less smoke

I can make one for free at school at metal workshop

No offense, but with sticks and a match i can boil water/cook without anything else.

so how long did it take to boil the water?

Was there quite a lot of smoke though?

Says page not found on the link,,

If a rocket stove is done correctly, it will not smoke.

Make it twice as big.

Thanks for watching! As Bill has mentioned in the comments, make sure that you know what kind of fuel you are burning when you are cooking on this stove. Don't burn pine, hemlock, pressure treated woods or anything containing plastic. The soot from some of these materials can be toxic.
