StoveTec’s Super Pot is a stainless steel pot with an integrated full-height pot skirt­. If it keeps smoking a lot you might have too much wood in the chamber, or the wood might be wet. Once the fire is lit, the smoke will begin to clear as it is burnt during the combustion process. Just a few small sticks is all it takes to boil a gallon of water in under 15 minutes. The Biomass Cookstove rocket stove was designed to burn wood, biomass and other organic fuels as efficiently as possible. It is designed to regulate and channel the flow of exhaust around the cookware to increase the exchange of heat. Especially with the help of the adjustable galvanized steel pot skirt. Additionally, the shape of the ring is designed to channel the heated exhaust from the large 3.9″ chimney upward and around the cookware to achieve an efficient heat exchange. The stove top is made from a rugged cast iron ring with six integrated pot supports providing ample stability for larger cookware including cast iron skillets and dutch ovens. It is approximately 10″ long and 6″ wide at its widest point and made from a heavy steel wire. The steel fuel shelf is designed to support any fuel longer than a few inches in length. As a result, the two-piece ceramic insulation layer is very durable and light enough to float in water which one of the primary reasons the stove is so lightweight and efficient.Īdditionally, the model that I have is also lined with a tough FeCrAl (iron, chromium and aluminium) alloy refractory to further increase its efficiency and protect the ceramic insulative layer. They have been double fired, first with a green kiln firing followed by a ceramic firing in a traditional chinese kiln. The stove’s floor and combustion chamber are insulated with an ultralight ceramic fiber cast to Aprovecho’s exacting design specifications from a lightweight clay found only in China. Each handle is securely attached to the body of the stove with three pop-rivets to safely lift and move the stove, even when it is hot. On each side of the stove body there is a heavy-duty hinged steel lifting handle with black heat-resistant injection-moulded grip. there are two feed rack mounting brackets for keeping the fuel feed rack firmly attached to the stove. It has a black reinforced metal door frame for increased strength and durability.

The rugged outer skin of the stove has a green enameled finish and a single-door opening with an arced top in the side nearly 4.5″ wide and 4.25″ tall to provide access to the fuel chamber.

The entire cookstove, fuel shelf and adjustable pot skirt will easily fit inside a 5-gallon bucket safely keeping any loose ash and soot fully contained during storage and transport. StoveTec’s Biomass Cookstove is a self-contained rocket stove 10.75″ in diameter at its widest point and 11.75″ tall. But if you are vehicle camping, off-grid living, or simply bugging-in at home, a larger outdoor rocket stove is ideal. However, since they are so small, they typically do not work as well with larger cookware. Many wood burning stoves are compact and very lightweight. As a result, rocket stoves are able to achieve a much hotter and much more efficient use of fuel.

As the heated exhaust exits the chimney it is able to efficiently heat the cookware through heat exchange. The superheated exhaust is then channeled upward through the vertical chimney where it continues to burn ensuring that all of the fuel has combusted before it reaches the heat exchanger, thus reducing harmful emissions. The first rocket stove was created in the early 1980’s by an engineer at the Aprovecho Research Center located in Cottage Grove, Oregon.īy drawing oxygen through the burning fuel and into the combustion chamber, it becomes gasified and superheated through a natural convection. The rocket stove is often regarded as one of the most efficient, if not the most efficient biomass stove technology available today.

Especially those utilizing rocket stove technology. Additionally, many wood burning stoves are designed to heat much more efficiently than a typical campfire. When it comes to emergency preparedness, I prefer outdoor wood burning stoves over the gas, liquid and solid fuel stoves mostly due to fuel availability should SHTF. But what about bugging-in when the gas is out or no longer available? Today I’ll be taking a look at the Biomass Cookstove and Super Pot from StoveTec to fill that need. Lightweight packable stoves have always been an interest of mine not only for backpacking, but also for bugging out.
