Wild Rocket Stove with Windshield

No-nonsense, built to last, this is our simplest, lowest cost rocket stove. Powered by any sticks or wood, this is one of the ‘old school’ rocket stoves, which launched Wild Stoves back in 2010. Many of those sold back then are still in use today. Tried and tested over many years across Africa and beyond, equipped with tough cast-iron top and thick mineral-wool insulation.

A fully insulated enclosed combustion chamber enables flames to mix with hot air to burn the smoke, and increase efficiency. The combustion chamber and top door insulation is lined with a refractory metal to provide ultimate durability. Everything is reinforced for durability & performance: this is a design that has been honed by real world use over more than a decade.

The stove includes a cast-iron top for supporting the pot. Strong enough to easily support an adults’ weight, there’s no real limit to the size of pot this can accommodate. Wide stainless steel handles enable the stove to be movable even when lit.

Accessories

How to light your rocket stove

Light a small fire inside the combustion chamber. We use Waxed Lighting Paper for non-toxic ease. Insert some sticks (the dryer the better) horizontally into the stove. Within a minute or two the stove is ready for cooking. As the fuel burns, you nudge the sticks in, according to the intensity of heat required.

The shell is made from tough steel with a cast-iron pot support and heat-resistant plastic handles. The bottom of the combustion chamber is made from heat-resistant stone. The support that comes with the stove is used to support your wood while it is burning. You can also use the stick support on top of the hob to support smaller pots or a coffee percolator!

The stove kicks out about 3Kw of heat and is 3 times more efficient than an open fire, producing a fraction of the smoky emissions and able to cook a large meal with a handful of twigs.

This stove only burns wood. If you’re looking for something more versatile – and a little bigger, check out its bigger sister the Wild Wood & Charcoal Rocket Stove.

Rocket Stove Safety

Used sensibly this stove will give many years of safe and fun use. However, all combustion produces carbon monoxide and other harmful emissions – in your car engine, your gas central heating boiler, even your efficient woodgas stove. This stove is designed for use outdoors. Use only outside or under well ventilated shelters. DO NOT USE IN TENTS or other enclosed spaces. Charcoal left at the end of a burn also produces carbon monoxide.
