Rod wanted a rocket stove for his birthday. We ordered it online and then the wait began... We found out it was made in and shipped from Malaysia. Delivery was promised 8-10 weeks later. The stove finally arrived today! He took it right out to the back yard and started it up. This will be a really great addition to our emergency preparedness supplies. It cooks hot, with minimal fuel.

Rod took it right out to the back yard to give it a try. He got the fire going very quickly! I sent the first picture to the lady in Malaysia from whom we bought the stove, telling her how much we like the stove. She wrote me back and said her son said the flame looked like a fire fox. She was pleased with the picture.
Rod put some volcanic ash stuff inside for insulation. He is showing here that the outside is not hot.
Another cool thing he got is a solar lighter. Here is a piece of hemp in the lighter that is starting to smoke before it bursts into flame.
The solar lighter is quite intriguing.
It only takes a few seconds for this much heat to be generated. If there is sun, we will always be able to light a fire. Another great emergency preparedness item we now have.
So one night this week, Rod is in charge of dinner. He wants to fry a hamburger on his rocket stove!
