The Rocket Stove

When it comes to emergency prep we need to store food and water for a length of time, but, remember that you will also need emergency solutions for cooking. I here is one my favorite emergency solutions for cooking.
This is known as a Rocket Stove.
I like these because they can be improvised, a kind of "on the fly" method along with having designs that are easy to build and store. Below are a couple of versions of the Rocket Stove that are simple and can help you become familiar with the concept.

Paint Can Design
This design is simple. The paint can will cost you between 4 and 5 dollars and you can get them anywhere they sell paint. I picked up two at Lowe's

The Welded Design
You will need some welding skills for this one. It's also larger and will be more of a challenge to store but they work beautifully.

An improvised Design using brick or Cinder Block
An "On The Fly" design that could be built using a variety of materials that you would find in your environment.

Remember, good prep is more about knowing how to use what you have on hand.
I will post more on emergency cooking later on.
