Benefits of Even a Small Rocket Stove

My son and I cooked kabobs tonight on this small yet powerful rocket stove. Cooking on maple, wild cherry, and oak all from the yard. We built this rocket stove years ago with an old steel bucket and cob. It's easy.

You can turn your landscape into abundance. From what you plant to how you manage it, you can have a ready supply of firewood without much effort. Watch this video for details to harvest kindling and fuelwood, https://youtu.be/2A4vlfefkd0

Look at that flame! A rocket stove burns wood at very high temperatures. You'll have very little if any, smoke. Food cooks quickly. All the heat of a rocket stove like this goes straight up in the air. That makes it safe.
