A rocket stove is an efficient and hot burning stove using small diameter wood fuel. Fuel is burnt in a simple combustion chamber containing an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames’ reaching the cooking surface. Rocket stove designs are most often used for portable stoves for cooking but the design is also used to make rocket mass heaters for heating. Today we are sharing some of tutorials to make your own one, so if you feel like crafting, go ahead reading!
