Just found this on facebook.

"made a rocket stove today and its very efficient. It just burns small sticks and makes a lot of heat. Going to make a grill to hold a pan tomorrow."

The guy on facebook posted the above with the pic below. Is this really a rocket stove??

i would suppose so, pack the sticks in from the top, light from the bottom. combustion will drag air in through the bottom and intensify the burn.

very simple design, i like it

In a manner of speaking yes. The design below is more common for cooking.

Insulation being the key.

theres 3 types

fed at the side
fed in a j tube
fed in a batch box

feeding a fire often gets to be a pain a batch box method or a bigger area where the fire can get high enough heat is better

15 - 20 mins from cold from hot its faster to cook upon

straight up type
vortex type
heart shape

all have secondary air in the mix

for cooking 2 pans on it

both oven and hob to cook on

steel destroys itself after a while
