Cheap Stoves For Emergencies

It is possible to make rocket stoves for no money at all. A person who is not an expert can make their own rocket stove. Rocket stoves use very little fuel compared to most stoves. Rocket stoves burn so cleanly that they produce very little smoke. The last one means they are healthier to be around than many other stoves and are better for the environment. These are some of my reasons for liking rocket stoves. 


Rocket stoves come from the Aprovecho Research Center. Here is how they describe themselves:



What is Aprovecho Research Center?

Rocket stoves are not the only kind of stove to use for emergency preparedness nor even the best for every family or circumstance. They are inexpensive. It is hard to beat free. They are fuel efficient, so allow emergency preparedness without a lot of expensive fuel in storage. Some fuels take up a lot of room or are dangerous to have around in quantity. Rocket stoves help with those problems as well. They are definitely worth consideration for your emergency preparedness plans.
