Rocket Stoves

I was asked to share more about Rocket Stoves. It is a concept that Rotary has been exploring in various areas of the world as a way to cook with just sticks off the ground. No real wood or fuel is needed and the fire gets so hot from the combustion chamber that it burns off any smoke. Because I am interested in self sustainability and alternate was to cook in case of power outages, this was of interest to me. The simplest design just uses 16 bricks (adobe is best). There is also one made with 5 gallon drums and I see these all over China...you can add a unit on top for purifying water. I built the one with 16 bricks in my back yard for making flatbread and bought a 5 gallon one with the added water purifier for using up near my home. I will try to post photos of both. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Shirl
