#5012  BUILD A ROCKET STOVE COOKER  $5. BOOKLET
 
by Charmaine Taylor

Booklet teaches how to make a portable, emergency cook stove - A hot, fast burning mini stove for boiling water, and cooking food. Made from inexpensive metal cans, and needs only scrap paper, twigs, small wood pieces as fuel. (I have made these with coffee cans and boy do they work! )

If you can punch a hole in a can, and follow the simple directions you can boil water, fry eggs and burgers, saute, steam, and cook just about anything. I have even made a Pad Thai rice noodle dinner on it.) This is not the Boy Scout can cooker, this is a better/ hotter cooking stove using just scrap paper and twigs.

Shows four different metal can designs, and a clay stove design which needs no tools to construct, and uses local clay and sand. Lots of photos and clear directions. You'll be amazed at how well these little stoves work.

You will need a hammer and nail to make a pilot hole, then tin snips, or metal cutters that curve right, or left to cut the opening for the throat. You can do this with straight cutters, but it leaves a rougher cut, and needs to be smoothed a bit to fit in the chimney throat. Otherwise a plain metal coffee can, or similar can will work. Bigger cans are OK too. Barbara Kerr's (the cardboard solar box cooker inventor) rocket stove is an olive oil 5 gallon size tin can, square, with a bigger throat, and a larger surface cooktop area.

Also in the booklet is my own design using two cardboard boxes, sand, and pouring a wet fibercrete-type mix in between to form the walls, and also be the 'insulation' for a cooker. This version is heavier, not as easily portable, (you can included a carry strap in the design if you make one, or just tote it in a plastic sack or large canvas bag). This larger version is more sturdy, and can be used for cooking outside your home, on your back deck or yard.

You can place these cookers on a picnic table, or glass patio table, but place a cookie baking sheet filled with sand under the little rocket stove to prevent heat to the table top.
