Survival Cooking On A DIY Home-Built Rocket Stove: Get Fed & Keep Warm


After a disaster when power is out, the two most important things people yearn for are heat and food. A rocket stove is a useful survival tool because it produces a very hot flame and needs very little fuel. These stoves are highly efficient?woodstoves, which can also burn coal or other biofuels. They are simple to construct, making sustainable cooking stations that can also be used as heating units at campsites and in your own backyard. Rocket stoves are inexpensive to build, and can be quickly erected from bricks, blocks or stones around your yard. Because they use such a small amount of fuel, they’re down right cheap to maintain and can be augmented with solar panels and other modifications to provide a wide range of heating and cooking facilities. If building one for use indoors, remember it needs to be vented.
It’s best to build your rocket stove ahead of time, so you have the opportunity to purchase any necessary items; or at least purchase what you’ll need and stash the parts somewhere safe for later. Please refer to the links in the Resources section for videos and other photos.
