Cinder block rocket stove
The rocket stove was originally developed in the 1980’s by Ianto Evans and Larry Winiarski of Aprovecho Research Center, an organization that works on designs for cookstoves that are to be used in developing countries. It uses small diameter wood which is burned in a simple
combustion chamber leading to an insulated vertical chimney, atop which
the food is heated and cooked.This design burns so efficiently that it ensures almost complete
combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface, so there is
virtually no smoke. Because they are so fuel efficient, very little wood is used. This
means that the fuel can be sticks and twigs from prunings or dead fall,
rather than large, older growth trees.This versatility and ability to burn almost any size wood greatly
increases the sustainability of fuel use and availability, while also
minimizing the environmental impact.
