Ordinary Wisdom
Just another reminder: Not only does it not have to be complicated, it can be fun! Here’s a quick demonstration of a simple but effective rocket stove. From CORAC’s Region 9, North Dakota group, at another “Let’s Do Stuff” gathering.
Run time: 00h | 1m | 16s
Here’s another version of the rocket stove that can be built in minutes with 16 bricks (2 are half bricks). It uses a minimal amount of fuel (small sticks, twigs, leaves etc.) to cook full meals with efficient heat funneled directly up under the pan. It is also wind and “light rain” resistant.
STEP 1: Lay your brick base, and STEP 2: Add the 2nd level of bricks.
STEP 3: Add the 3rd level bricks.
STEP 4: Add the top level of bricks.
STEP 5: Add a sturdy metal grate or screen to cover the hole for your cooking surface.
STEP 6: Add kindling, small sticks and twigs to the oven and light your fire for cooking. If you want a longer burn, use a bit harder wood and larger pieces. You can also use charcoal if available.
