• BUILDING ROCKET STOVES

  Last Sunday some of the members of our prepper group got together and built rocket stoves.

  A rocket stove is a simple cook stove that is very energy efficient.  They burn so hot that they also burn the wood gasses, generating very little or no smoke at all. You can boil a pot of water in a few minutes using a few twigs or small pieces of wood.  They are used in places where not everyone has electricity and fuel is scarce.

  

  The ones we made are made from a small metal garbage can and some stove pipe.  They can also be made from tin cans or other materials.
