How to Create a Rocket Stove

SIMPLE, COMPACT, SCALABLE, THE WOODEN ROCKET STOVE USES ITSELF AS FUEL. NAMED FOR IT’S LIKENESS TO THE BUSINESS END OF A ROCKET, THIS METHOD PRODUCES AN INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT COOK-TOP WHEN A HOT MEAL OR SOME POTABLE WATER ARE A MUST.

Below we will be providing two different “how-to’s” on the wooden rocket stove, one if you have a drill and one with a saw and axe.

V1. WOODEN ROCKET STOVE (WITH HAND DRILL)

NEEDED:

DRILL

TINDER

STEPS:

1. SOURCE A DRY LOG ROUND

2.DRILL A HOLE IN THE TOP. MEASURE AND MARK DEPTH OF FIRST DRILL

3.DRILL SECOND HOLE INTO SIDE TO MEET THE FIRST HOLE

4. CLEAR DEBRIS

5. PREP AND ADD THE TINDER & THE FIRE STARTER INTO THE LOG AND HAVE IT COLLECT AT THE INTERNAL JOINT. NOT TOO MUCH TO BLOCK AIRFLOW.

6. LIGHT AND STOKE. CONTINUE TO STOKE AND TEND TO IT UNTIL THE INSIDE OF THE LOG BEGINS TO CATCH AND BURN ITSELF.

7. ONCE LOG IS LIT AND BURNING, ADD THREE SMALL STONES TO TOP OF LOG TO SUPPORT POT OR PAN AND STILL ALLOW FIRE AND HOT AIR TO FLOW UP THROUGH THE LOG.

9. ADD COOKWEAR AND COOK AWAY.

V2. ROCKET STOVE (NO DRILL)

NEEDED:

DRY SEASONED LOG ROUND

SAW

AXE OR FULL TANG KNIFE

TINDER

ADD TINDER AND LIGHT VIA BOTTOM AIR TUNNEL.

BOTH VERSIONS OF THIS ROCKET STOVE WILL BURN THEMSELVES OUT ONCE LIT. USE AS A HEAT SOURCE AND PUT OUT RESPONSIBLY ONCE FINISHED COOKING.
