Camping Stove -Single Door

Impressed with the manufacturing, very well made-very solid, very sturdy, very robust. Doors work well, seal very well. Cast iron top is large enough for a 12 pan or dutch oven. Pictures are 12" pan and 10" dutch oven. Equally robust some heat retention will be good and designed in such a manner as to direct the heat outwardly when you're cooking. Cast grate is attached with screws. If they aren't stainless already I may replace them with stainless steel. I will use this while camping in my RV or for cooking on a cool night, or if the power is out or anytime a small meal is needed to be made outside. This a IDEAL for an emergency preparedness purchase if you need an efficient cooking devise. One of the reasons I bought this stove was because of the weight. Some of the others only weigh 10lbs. I think those would be less efficient and the materials not as robust. So... I did not buy this for back packing. You are not going 'back packing' with this, weighs way too much for that. Could you bring this along for a picnic? Sure, absolutely. Has a very nice bag to carry it in with two straps, and a Velcro sealed pouch for utensils. My scale says it weighs 17.5 lbs/7.94 kg. Imagine this oven and a dutch oven in a pack... nope. Now if your back packing with mules or pack horse ...maybe, but there are still better options. This is a stove made of steel, cast iron, stainless steel and refractory of some sort.

Fantastic, well constructed Rocket Stove. Not overly heavy, and a breeze to set up so one will be cooking in no time. Nifty cordura carrying bag. I am well pleased with my purchase.

This rocket stove is well-made very sturdy

Great little camp stove, uses twigs ,which are readily available in my neighborhood. I boiled water easily. Cooked some chicken cutlets in a cast iron pan. It will be good for power outages or camping. Came with a nice carry case.

The weight is ok not to heavy

Did a quick heating test using the rocket stove. Started fire and let heat for 10 minutes before testing performance. Following the warm up, poured 1 liter of water into a large pot (covered) and put on lighted burner. Starting water temperature was 63 F, air temperature 53 F. Time to boiling was 7 minutes 29 seconds with an estimated consumption of ~200 grams of dry hickory sticks. I calculate this to mean the burner was generating 4500 BTU assuming 70% heat transfer to the water. Note, while easily portable, this stove is better suited for backyard or car camping, its too heavy to haul in a backpack. Also, very dry wood is essential for good performance.

This thing is great. In the pictures there is one of the brush that is being cleared on the property so there is plenty of fuel. So far very pleased ** Edit ** 6 months later---- I am still very pleased with this stove. I use it often, to make coffee, keep water hot for tea, cook a quick bite to eat while I am working outside. Charcoal works well, burns really hot. No complaints. Very well made. It has become a much used & appreciated piece of equipment.

I haven’t tried this thing yet, because I wanted it for camping or power outages. Even so, I feel comfortable using this when the need arises. It appears very sturdy & weighs more than other similar Rocket Stoves that I also checked out. I consider that a safety feature, as the extra weight should be more stable & not as likely to tip over. I also like the versatility of the types of fuel that can be used, with little effort. So, fuel sources should be easy to find, & easy to incorporate & use. Lastly it has a carrying case & is easy to store. I’m satisfied. Thank you very much.
