![]() ![]() ![]() Awesome Stove for Emergencies, Grilling, or Camping Weighing the pros and cons and trying to decide what I really want from it.ĭid I say money was tight? Everything I purchase has to work for multiple purposes. We have branches come down in every storm and a lifetime supply of pine cones! So I have been looking at rocket stoves using biomass (sticks and pine cones), for perhaps two years now. We have lots of tree–maple, birch and various spruce trees. Even though I have a fire ring down by the creek it is a chore to start up a campfire for 10 minutes of roasted marshmallows and then they are off to something else. The grandkids come over and want to make s’mores. And the more I grill, the more I would like an extra burner for boiling corn-on-the-cob, sautéing mushrooms and onions, whatever. I like my propane grill, but it doesn’t have a burner. ![]() This is a very versatile, indoor-capable rocket stove! Deadwood Is Also Awesome for Outdoor Cooking And that may not be a problem because it can draw oxygen from below it also. The only thing you have to be careful of if you are cooking indoors, is not to put too big of a pot on it that snuffs out the fire. Remove the legs and you have a counter top or table top stove where you can easily stand and cook.īelow the grate the Deadwood is a bit less than 5”x5”, so Sterno fuel, camp heat, survival candles, fuel tablets, nearly any kind of solid camping fuel, can be used with it when you are indoors (and of course sticks for outside). The legs on the Deadwood are positioned to make the stove easy to cook on just sitting on a chair. I also tried putting one of those pocket stoves in it with a fuel tablet and that worked great! But I think that a three wick survival candle would work a lot better. The Deadwood cooked okay with just a common candle too. Plenty good enough to cook on! Deadwood used with a simple candle WOW, am I impressed! For cooking all I did was clean out a spaghetti sauce can, tear off the label, stick it upside down inside the Deadwood for height, then I took a cleaned soup can with label torn off, put 10 cotton balls in it, poured maybe a half a cup of rubbing alcohol over that, let it soak-in good for about 15 minutes, lit it with a BBQ lighter and I had water too hot to touch with steam rising within 5 minutes! Sorry, but I am not going to feed sticks into a rocket stove outside to cook when it is -20 with wind chills of -50. With the bitter cold winter we have had this year and the electricity going on and off, I got to thinking about the Deadwood for interior cooking as well. Can You Use The Deadwood As an Indoor Rocket Stove? 38)! Not cheap, but they are definitely worth the money.

Deadwood Stove being used with alcohol-soaked cotton balls inside of a can With two Deadwood Stoves you can pretty much do a meal. I’m sure it can be done I just have to figure it out. I put wood chips in a tin foil pan in my propane grill to get that delicious wood smoke flavor… Turn the Deadwood Stove slightly angled to the wind and you don’t need to add smoke! Actually, I’ve been contemplating how I can use a Deadwood to create a smoker. Wind blowing the wrong way? Just turn it! Works best facing the sticks into the wind-no smoke!.You can grill a steak (or tinfoil anything) to perfection directly on top of the built-in grill just by adjusting how many sticks you feed into the front of the stove.Roasted marshmallows within three minutes!.It has removable legs, so it is perfect on a tabletop.I keep one (Yes, I actually have two now!) on top of a table on the patio so I don’t have to bend over.With dry sticks and pinecones it boils a quart of water within 10 minutes.I’m thrilled!
