Initial Thoughts: Stovetec 2 Door rocket/survival stove

Initial thoughts at first use of new Stovetec 2 door rocket stove. $125 on Ebay. Outside temperature about 38F and breeze. Burning very green alder branches and dry cedar. Fantastic stove for cooking and boiling. Not good for keeping people warm around as it radiated very little heat, but it isn't designed for that. I looked at hours of video of other stoves including the Volcano II tri fuel, but settled on this one for simplicity, control ability and requiring only tiny amounts of wood fuel without removing a heavy cooking pot. It is shocking how little fuel this thing uses.

How to make a mud stove in Zana

Annie and I made a mud stove from dirt, hay and shea nut leftovers. This will reduce the amount of wood she needs to collect and cook with and also allows her to cook outdoors more because it cuts down on the amount of wind that decreases the efficiency of the firewood.

Rocket stove mod 005.MPG

Out playing again with my rocket stove, I timed how long it would take to boil 2 pints of cold water. It was 5 minutes and 15 seconds, I didn't think that was too bad. It was a similar time the night before, It obviously will vary a small amount depending on fuel used, amount of fuel, outside temperature, wind etc... This is not a large rocket stove and is pretty portable, you can use them to cook on. Heat water or keep warm by, especially if you put some sticks down the top into the tube and use a reflector to throw back some heat towards yourself. Something concave in shape like a large wok seems to work very well, angled slightly downwards or a few inches above the stove upside down. You would need to support it some how, but this tends to throw the heat 360 degrees. You would need to be fairly close to it to benefit, but it does work and is effective. Anyway towards the end of this video I have tried to get a closer look at the combustion chamber, check out the swirl of flames. It really mixes the gases well. I don't think that this is by any means the best that can be achieved and I'm sure that someone seeing this will be probably making something even better, but it was an idea I had and just wanted to try it out to see if it would fulfil my expectations. It has! I will be posting more stuff as soon as I can on my stove collection as well as my knife collection, along with more on other things as and when I can. Thanks to all who have took an interest in what I have ...

bow drill fire making / wood fired pizza oven

www.permies.com This wood fired pizza oven is made from adobe A main component is a 55 gallon barrel that acts as the oven. I like how the hinges are placed just right so it is gravity that keeps it closed. I have video of cob ovens, but this is definitely not a cob oven. Even though it is an oven and it looks like it is made of cob. This design keeps the smoke and fire seperate from the pizza. Alexia Allen of Hawthorn Farm in Woodinville, Washington, has cooked many pizzas in this wood fired oven. And she says that she almost always starts the fire with a bow drill. Alexia has worked for many years as a wilderness skills instructor, so bow drill fire making is something she has not only practiced many times, but taught to hundreds. For the bow drill fire making part of this video I have tried to not edit any of it out. I was amazed at how she could get a fire going so fast! We cooked about seven pizzas that night. Plus Kyle Koloini's calzone. Relevant threads at permies: www.permies.com www.permies.com www.permies.com www.permies.com www.permies.com music by Jimmy Pardo

The Tin Can Survival Cook Stove

I've seen these stoves go for upwards of $25 online. Being someone that prefers not to shill out cash for a piece if tin, I decided to post a how-to on making one of these stoves. As such, I'm not selling anything, I haven't infringed on any copyrights so this info is completely free to use. Enjoy.
