This Rocket Stove is designed for indoor use but can be used outdoors as well. It has a standard 4" pipe connect on the top, as pictured for you below, to hook up to your chimney pipe. This is the ultimate in preparedness items. If seriously hard times befall us, you may run out of propane, kerosene, or be unable to afford natural gas to cook with. This Indoor Rocket Stove will allow you to keep on cooking food and boiling water inside the comfort of your dwelling if times get really rough. You can use any type of dry biomass to cook with such as leaves, twigs, bark, grass, cork husks or stocks, etc., etc.
Highlights
- It weighs 15 lbs all together and made entirely of steel with a cooking top area of close to 12 inches by 14 inches. The height to the top of the cooking surface is on the average of 19".
- Has removable top for outdoor cooking as well.
- Extremely efficient, you can cook a meal with extremely small amount of wood. Especially needed in times of disasters.
- Portable fun for the kids to cook hot dogs, or to cook serious meals.
- 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).
- Very little ashes left when done. (Burns efficiently)
This Indoor Rocket Stove has been designed so that the top can come off and be used as an outdoor rocket stove as well. This means you'll be able to clean it out and be able to get fires going with the top off then put the top on and start cooking if using it indoors. You will still need to dump out the ash every couple of meals or so depending on how long you cook in it.
This isn't the most convenient method to cook with using it indoors, but it's a very effective to way to cook with very little wood or dry plant matter. The removable top is designed so that the smoke and heat are fed through two steel plates to the chimney pipe attachment as pictured. It's as safe to use as any wood burning stove, other than it doesn't have a door to close in the fire, so keep that in mind and don't leave it unattended. Just like any wood burning stove there is a risk of back draft pushing smoke back through the air and wood intake. Also much like wood burning stoves, you will want to place this Indoor Rocket Stove on a fire resistant surface such as tile, brick, etc. so that if burning embers come out of it they don't fall onto carpet, wood, tarps or any other combustible type flooring. Honestly this Indoor Rocket Stove is not nearly as easy to de-ash like the outdoor version we sell being that you would have to remove your stove pipe to dump the ashes. Also getting fires started in it, you will have to remove the top plate and stove pipe to do so unless you can find another ingenious way to get it started. So there are some draw backs using this Indoor Rocket Stove but would be still good for times of preparedness and having the dual usage of indoor and outdoor.
The stove is designed for cooking purposes and not for heating being that the Indoor Rocket Stove is insulated inside to force the heat out the top where your pan is. However it will get hot on the sides, so please wait for it to cool before you try to move it or dump ashes out. Three steel legs on the Indoors Rocket Stoves for good solid balancing.
The outdoors version of these rocket stoves are used in Africa because people can burn grass, sagebrush, and other dry plant matter to cook food in places where trees are rare therefore firewood is scarce. 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 better air flow for the fire under the tongue. A small piece of rolled up paper or some dried leaves can get it started and you can use small twigs and branches or wood that you've split with a hatchet to feed the fire.
