Rocket Stove Portable Wood-Burning Camping Stove with Storage Bag

easy to set up and relatively easy to use and clean. we use it for camping and outside movie night. twigs and small branches is all that's needed. very useful for cooking using smaller pot and pans. the heat is very intense. would recommend.

If you like camping this thing beats the hell out of a propane stove. It doesn't get as hot but you don't have to worry about stupid propane bottles running out and all that other nonsense. You could push it into duty for backpacking if you wanted to carry it it's relatively small I doubt it would fit in your pack but it comes with a nice little carry bag and it doesn't weigh anything especially since you don't have to Lug fuel around with it. And it's considerably better than those little folding junkers they sell for backpacking. I have had no trouble cooking meals for three on this thing. The secret is don't overload it it will choke and keep the ash area clear so it can properly draw. Playing with this thing I've used sticks I gathered up in the desert I cut down store-bought firewood into chunks about 1 in by 3 in and I tried charcoal briquettes and even Cow Patties this thing Burns it all.. it took me about an hour in a light Breeze to cook a 20 inch cast iron skillet full of burrito Stuffins. Was about two and a half pounds of ground beef onions refried beans seasoning. And it did it on three loads of the 1x3 inch cut up seasoned firewood. And I didn't have to hunch over a campfire getting smoked out to do it. I'm probably going to buy one or two more of these things to squirrel away in my prepping gear. I like this one over the others because this one you can dampen down and simmer stuff or keep a pot of coffee warm.

Used this stove for a camping trip over the weekend and it rained on us the entire trip; so having a traditional campfire was difficult, to say the least. This stove saved the weekend! Was able to cook and make coffee directly underneath the tarp while it was raining, and it contained the fire well enough to not burn the tarp! Took a little figuring to get the airflow-wood ratio right, but once I figured that, everything else was smooth sailing. Stove DOES need constant attention/tending (likely due to its small stature/small burning area) so keep that in mind before walking away from it because it WILL go out relatively fast. Sets up and breaks down quickly and easily, and stores away neatly in a bag with carrying handle. And even though not designed to provide heat, while running under the tarp (20’x20’ tarp, set up in a traditional a-frame style, with the peak about 8’ from the ground) it heated the interior of the tarp area a significantly noticeable amount. Overall, very satisfied with this purchase. Well worth the money spent!

I'm giving it a 4 out of 5, because the bottom part of the back where you screw the stand is bent. I'll unbend it and fix it myself, other than that I like it, it'll provide me cooked meals anyway, I'll probably buy another later on

I have nine different stoves to use while camping or just chilling on my deck, and after buying this rocket stove my purchasing days may be over. After receiving this today I had to try it out. Unlike others who were missing the wing nuts mine had all parts. Assembly is a breeze, just lay the front side face down on the ash and wood fill doors, slide the stabilizer bar into the groove on the bottom back and secure it with the two wing nuts. Put the two pot stands into the chimney and your done. I put a small piece of fatwood into the wood fill shoot lit it and let it burn for a minute and then placed small 4x1” pieces of wood onto the burning fatwood. I see why it’s called a rocket stove. I never put more than 4 pieces of wood into the wood fill shoot and the stove worked like a champ. I kept the fill door closed while the stove was burning so that the flames went up the chimney and not out the fill shoot. Every several minutes I added several more pieces of wood. I used the poker provided to move the burning wood around. The stove burns out pretty quickly after you stop feeding it. The ash door on the bottom of the stove makes short work of cleaning the ashes out! The design and ease of use was a pleasant surprise. The steel it’s constructed with is strong enough to last many a camping trip. I purchased it on sale $31 and that is a deal. The two carry bags and gloves should keep the soot from soiling my other camp gear. Bring your cast iron cooking utensils as this stove can handle 130lbs. This stove is the real deal. Buy it!

I just used this for the first time last night. I bought it because of the killer reviews, and I'm really glad I did. I made some Velveeta mac and cheese, and you must boil the water first...about a quart I'd say. That thing had the water boiling in less than 5 minutes! Then I cooked the mac and cheese into the water, and I had to take out a couple of the larger pieces of wood because it was burning so hot that my pot was nearly boiling over. After I did that, it cooled down just enough to keep it simmering, which was perfect. I'm really impressed with this little thing. It's very sturdy once you add the stabilizing piece at the bottom. It used very little wood and burned it thoroughly. Very easy to clean...I just dumped out the ashes after it finished burning and poured water on them. Looking forward to using it a lot once it starts cooling down here...Texas summers are brutal. Oh, and the stabilizer piece, it goes IN the slot in the back, not on the outside. There are no instructions, and it took me a minute to figure out. It is very fuel efficient and works even better than I had hoped.

I really wanted to love this stove. It is really good quality. Great,even. Made from good, thick, steel. Very well made. Unfortunately the airflow isn't great and it's hard to keep it going. Forget maintaining a consistent temperature for cooking. You can't keep coals in it long enough to cook anything without constantly tending to the fire. I'll stick to cooking over propane for now. Dang it. Love the portability of this thing. Really wish the fire was better.

Great build and quality. Haven't burned in it but it'll do the job. Highly recommend for a Rocket Stove.
