Video Review of the Rocket Stove
If your interested in an economical but highly effective form of cooking off-grid (or in a grid-down situation), the rocket stove is a perfect choice. Just recently I purchased a rocket stove built by a company called StoveTec.
Invented by Dr. Larry Winiarski, the rocket stove is a highly-efficient cooking stove that requires very little wood to cook an entire meal.
Due to its design that allows for complete combustion, with just a few twigs and sticks you can maintain a hot burning fire that’s super clean and produces practically no smoke.
Since I wanted to test it out myself, I decided to put together a video review of the stove. My results? I was able to boil 72 oz of water in 15 minutes outside in 29 degrees with just a few sticks! I was pretty impressed…check it out:

Pam,
Thanks for the interest. I love this stove! I’m actually working out a deal with the company to provide a discount to readers of this site. I should have it done by today. I’ll keep you posted…
I love this, Erich! Very impressive. I will probably buy one because I’ll be teaching a class on Cooking Off Grid, and this oven will be perfect to demo.
Thanks!
Yeah, this stove is awesome.
That’s funny you say that. I’m actually planning on teaching some off-grid cooking classes here in New England and will be bringing my stove as a demo as well. See, we are on the same waveength Lisa!
My husband and I had been planning to build a rocket stove, but have yet to get around to doing it. I ran across your video and we were both impressed. I especially liked how you could leave the charcoal from the sticks in the stove and close up the the vents to leave something to simmer. Very nice review. I purchased one and look forward to trying it out. Thanks for the discount!
best regards,
Mindy
Mindy,
That’s great! I’d love to hear about your experience with it, it’s an amazing stove.
I too have been wanting to build one for a while but due to time constraints I haven’t yet had the chance. I still plan on making one just to compare the two stoves.
