well I got my wood gas stove out and fired it up and I am cooking some
chicken I just put it in just to prove to myself and anybody else who may
question whether you can cook chicken on wood gas stove you can I'm doing it I'll
show you what the finished product looks like those how it's looking so far in
the bow Oh 10 or 12 minutes and flip them once I had to take the pan off and
put another handful of wood in there and that's what I'm using just little chips
of wood you can use anything sticks leaves pine needles pinecones camel dung
you know everybody's got camel dung in their backyard but anything that'll burn
any biomass can be used in the wood gas stove which is why I tell you I'm having
a hard time coming up with reasons why you would have a rocket stove over a
wood gas stove now the only drawback you would guess though is you have to lift
the pan off you add wood but most of the time you're done cooking before you need
to add wood so that's not always gonna be a problem the rocket stove gets fed
you know from from a hole in the front you shove the wood in enough you so you
don't have to move the pan to feed it but the rocket stove is heavier you have
to have well you don't have to put to make one that's gonna last like this one
you got to make it out of heavy steel you have to weld and cut with power
tools and you know this would guess though I could have made with nothing
but a hand tool it would have been a lot harder and taking me a lot longer but
it's possible I could have done it and the rocket stove that I that I build
there's just no way to build it with hand tools you have to have a welder and
cutting torch and all the other tools now you can make a
rocket stove as a matter of fact I still have the very first rocket stove I ever
made out of a can two coffee cans I still have it and it still works but you
know I did that with hand tools actually I did use my Dremel but you could use
tin snips it wouldn't be the party so uh anyway I'm cooking chicken I just wanted
to tell you some thought somebody asked me a question that was a good question
about which I thought was better the rocket stove or the wood gas stove and I
gotta say I'm convinced that the wood gas stove is a better option if you are
only gonna have one this would be it you can do anything with it that Arrakis
spoken to and it's portable takes fewer materials to build that takes lower
skill level to build I just can't think of any reason why Rockets filled would
be better so I'll show you one the chicken something well I can't imagine
this not being done it's been cooking about 25 minutes maybe 30 so here we go
look do it now good
now I'm just gonna sit this just sit at the side here it's actually not that hot
it's almost burned down all right I'm fixin eat some chicken
blowing up a teeth
