Awesome Indoor / Outdoor Rocket Stoves

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.  We have an outdoor version of this stove found here in this eBay store.  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.  With minimum usage of fuel for cooking a single meal, 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 25 lbs all together (16 lbs for the rocket stove & 9 lbs for the top section) 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)
• Small ash shovel included for removing the ashes from the air intake hole below the tongue.

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. With our latest and newest design, you are able to clean out the ashes when ever it starts building up inside or when you are done cooking your meal.  This feature is our latest design of this stove being the old style we sold you had to remove the top plate and your stove pipe to clean out the ashes. 

This indoor / outdoor Rocket Stove is a very effective  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.  A way to solve this is to have chimney pipe connected to your rocket stove.  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.  Getting fires started in it, when using it indoors, you will only have the side insert to place wood and burnable materials in being you would have the top plate and stove pipe in place, but once you start doing getting fires started you will find the best way that works for you.  This Rocket Stove is good for times of preparedness and having the dual usage of indoor and outdoor ability.

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.  It is built with three steel legs for good solid balancing when it is being used.

The outdoors version of these rocket stoves (we sell them also) 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. If you want to find more information on Rocket Stoves you can go to Youtube and type in rocket stoves.  These Indoor Rocket Stoves are handmade right here in the USA and are built to last a lifetime.  These Rocket Stoves are built mostly from recycled steel.  Each stove will slightly vary in appearance, this is the nature and beauty of hand made goods.
