Today I made a rocket stove and cooked on it. V^(oo)^V
The silvery tape is of course special fireproof aluminium tape, not duct tape ...
The pot and the "skirt" are from my storm cooker.
The grass between the tiles there (that I don't have the heart to exterminate) is perhaps a bit of a fire hazard, but it's pretty moist there and I was watching the stove constantly.
It turned out to be quite easy to regulate the heat. For more heat, add more sticks and push them further in, and for lower heat, use less sticks and let them burn closer to the entrance.
Very easy to make (I got my instructions and design ideas from this post at Milkwood Permaculture), and very efficient. I overdosed fuel at first, not expecting that so little was needed. One stick like the one visible in the photo at a time is enough to cook pasta quite fast.
There is no photo of the resulting pasta salad with fresh champignons as well as leafy greens and herbs from my garden, because I eated it before I had a chance to document it.
