B Brazify Steel Rocket Stove with Heat Shield and Bag

Fuel canisters run out at the worst possible moment and cost money every single trip. A rocket stove burns what is already lying on the ground, twigs and deadfall and scraps of biomass, and turns a handful of it into enough concentrated heat to boil a pot. Once you have cooked on one, packing gas for a weekend starts to look like a strange habit.

The trick is the vertical combustion chamber. Air is drawn up through the burn chamber and accelerates, so small fuel burns hot and clean instead of smoldering and smoking. In practice that means fast boils from a surprisingly small pile of wood, and you are not crouched there feeding it constantly. The base is stable enough to hold a loaded pot without the nervous hand hovering nearby.

It is built from heavy-duty steel with cast iron support components and a heat-resistant finish, so it takes real use rather than one polite season of it. A top guard helps keep spills out of the chamber and the bottom heat shield protects whatever you set it on, whether that is a picnic table, a deck or a tailgate. At roughly 7 to 9 lb and 15 by 12 by 11 inches, this is a car-camping and backyard stove rather than something you carry up a mountain. A storage bag is included.

• Burns twigs, wood and biomass no canisters to buy, forget or run out of mid-meal.
• Vertical rocket chamber accelerated airflow means hot, clean burns from small fuel.
• Heavy-duty steel with cast iron supports survives real cooking, not just the first trip.
• Bottom heat shield set it on a picnic table or deck without scorching the surface.
• Top guard keeps boilovers and spills out of the combustion chamber.
• 15 x 12 x 11 inches, about 7-9 lb a car-camping and backyard stove, not a backpacking one.
• Storage bag included the soot stays in the bag instead of on everything else.
