Rocket Stove - What is it all about
Rocket stoves are no rocket science, but there is still a science behind how they work. Luckily, they do not require elaborate mechanism, and they surely aren't dependent on either gas or electricity to cook you a delicious meal and satiate your hunger.
So, what’s a rocket stove exactly and how does it work? A rocket stove works chiefly on wood fuel. Creating a simple exoskeleton for the stove, you insert a piece of wood to burn in the combustion chamber and let the flame and smoke rise through the chimney which is vertical and insulated. This makes the combustion to be complete even before the fire reaches the top cooking area.
Not only are rocket stoves simple in mechanics, but they are also extremely feasible for a traveler’s life, with their usually small size and easy portability. And yes, they are cheap on the pocket too. In fact, you can make them on your own, in a shape you deem best. Rocket stoves can be created using scrap and recyclable material. They are also used for heating homes or small spaces. Once you have a decent idea of how to make one, you can build a rocket stove in emergency situations too with no elaborate list of materials required.
An Industrial Model
Very industrial in design and resembling something of a locomotive, this stove, instead of being tall or broad, is long in shape and uses iron blocks and plates to cut and weld them together in a most efficient way. It has a support on the surface for placing the pots, and in the ignition area, it compartmentalizes the wood, twig or leaf stuffing area. The two rectangular pipes at the bottom for support can be custom fitted with wheels to move around ect.
This idea was given by my husband- Dinesh, when we were talking about to cook something in different mode of grill/stove. He always loves to cook any dishes in grill , so he came to know about this by youtube. So he planned of building it in his family running factory named VIJAYALAKSHMI PATTERN. They took nearly 3 to 4 days to build this stove from iron rods.
If any of you needs this stove or want to build this stove, give me a word in comment section we can discuss more in detail. Am sharing the pictures in how they have build this in short time . And i will be sharing you the recipe soon cooked using this rocket stove.
