rocket stove

This heavy-duty, vertical wood-burning stove—fundamentally different from a rocket stove—incorporates a meticulously calibrated secondary-air system that virtually eliminates chimney emissions. The entire unit is fully welded into one seamless piece, weighing 130 kg and built as a single monobloc; it rolls on three swivel casters equipped with foot brakes, so once you push it to the desired spot a single step locks it firmly in place. Critical sections of the shell are fabricated from 15 mm and 10 mm thick steel plate, giving the stove a service life of more than thirty years under normal use. Whether you need space heating or full-scale cooking, it handles both with ease: even a 600 mm pot filled to the brim with water will not tip it, thanks to its deliberately low center of gravity. The exterior has been shot-blasted and then coated with an 800 °C heat-resistant finish, while inside the firebox you can roast sweet potatoes, corn, or beef—or simply keep a kettle of tea warm. The stove operates on natural draft and is ideally suited to rural and small-town homes; if installed in an urban apartment, make sure the chosen area is very well ventilated.
