Rocket Stove – Warm meals even in a crisis!

Especially during times like the recent lockdown, one thing becomes clear: the unexpected can happen at any moment. It’s important to be prepared for crises and emergencies — whether it’s a pandemic, a blackout, or a natural disaster. Better to be ready than caught off guard!

Disaster relief organizations and various official institutions also recommend storing enough food and water for a certain period, keeping a supply of hygiene water, maintaining a well-equipped first-aid kit, and being prepared for a power outage.

A noble goal in modern times, considering that almost all household appliances run on electricity.

Self-sufficiency without electricity from the wall socket is easiest to test while cooking. Whether you're trekking, camping, or at a festival — being independent is a wonderful and liberating experience. And it’s even better when you have equipment that can be used not only in emergencies but also in everyday outdoor activities.

The Rocket Stove

Unlike grills or gas stoves, a rocket stove uses the chimney effect. Visually, it almost looks as spectacular as the launch of a rocket. The rocket stove principle is based on an L-shaped combustion chamber. Incoming cold air heats up, rises to the opening at the cooktop, and warms your food.

Burnable material — almost anything you can find in the forest or garden — falls into the ash tray/combustion chamber. The flames reach right up to your cookware.

All of this in a compact, mobile size! Cook completely without electricity or gas and still stay incredibly efficient.
