The Rocket Stove is a variety of wood-burning stove. It is easy to construct, and it uses low-cost materials. The principles of the design make it highly efficient and relatively clean-burning.

Design and Operation

The Rocket Stove's design is simple yet effective. It consists of an insulated vertical chimney, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface. The stove is typically constructed from bricks, metal or ceramics, and it includes a vertical chimney above the firebox.

Efficiency

Rocket Stoves are extremely efficient for a number of reasons. Firstly, the design of the stove means that it burns wood very cleanly. This is because the high temperatures in the insulated vertical chimney ensure that almost all the combustion gases are burnt. This not only reduces air pollution, but also means that the stove gets the maximum amount of energy from the wood.

Uses

Rocket Stoves are used for a variety of purposes. They are often used in developing countries for cooking, but they are also used in developed countries for heating purposes. In addition, they are used for camping and outdoor cooking.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Like all stoves, Rocket Stoves have their advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is their efficiency: they use less wood than a traditional stove, and they produce less smoke. However, they do have some disadvantages. For example, they can be difficult to light, and they can be quite smoky until the fire is well established.
