Rocket Stove

Post by slowtraveler »

Has anyone built one of these?

I'm considering making a small one out of 1 gallon paint cans to cook on camping and beach trips.

Yes, they are easy enough to construct. The problems with them are uneven or insufficient heating and being able/allowed to collect sufficient fuel depending on where you are going.

But they work fine, particularly if you are not operating in cold temperatures.

I recommend doing it for the fun and experience. But don't use for backpacking unless you have a lot of experience cooking with one.
