When I was young, my mother and I often cooked outside on what I eventually learned was a Dakota fire pit. I did not know, nor do I think she knew what it was called at the time, but we were poor, and it was an effective way of cooking. We got a crate from a broken grill on the side of the road, and propped it over the fire using brick pieces.
Meat was salted before smoking. The moisture in the meat increased the likelihood of rot. They would use something like a 3 sided pallet box, layer meat and salt. The moisture would leach out, and then the meat would be rolled in Pepper corns to keep insects off, and cold smoked in a smoke house. If the meat was not eaten during the year, it would be smoked again the next year. The meat could last several years in a smoke house like this!
Add baking with a Colman folding camp oven (or a DIY version) to the list of uses. Add food preservation through waterbath and/or pressure canning. Laundry/sanitation needs - think old fashioned washpot (today's stock pot) on the stove. Couple of tips: * If you have space, store the SilverFire in a 5 gal bucket, between uses. Use the extra space within the bucket to store fire starting tinder, tongs, wood, pot holders, etc. * Store seasoned wood in a large plastic storage bin, anyplace that stays dry and is out of direct sunlight. Collect and process, as the opportunity arises. Keep a reusable grocery bag in your vehicle for wood collection, again, as opportunity arises. Try to keep enough dry and ready to use wood on hand for several meals, at a minimum. Grid down and wet wood are a bad combination.
I'm new to your channel and never fail to learn something by watching your videos. I'd never heard of smoke bathing. Thank you! You represent the best of youtube.
+Canadian Prepper I've got the lite, campfire and just received the Bonfire (will review that shortly). Love their products and would prefer to have those in bug out situation. The rocket stove definitely burns more efficiently and puts off a lot more cooking heat (and you don't have to babysit it as much as the solostoves). The only downside of the rocket stoves is the weight which is why I carry solostoves in our B.O.B. setups.
Yep. Best, easiest and cheapest way to purify a lot of drinking water. I meant to get one when you reviewed that other rocket stove but got busy with other things, so I bought one this morning. Looking forward to trying it out in the Mojave desert soon. I'm thinking all that sage brush is out there for a reason. Lol!
You can pick up the Ecozoom Dura Rocket Stove used in the video here: amzn.to/2iMquIl or pick up the Ecozoom Versa: amzn.to/2z0zErm. I'll be doing a video comparing the 2 shortly.
always have a means of purifying water. not only for yourself and your family, but later on when bartering becomes more normal, as long as you have a source of water and means of purifying it you have clean water to barter with which you could practically trade with anything. there will ALWAYS be someone who needs clean water.
I got one of these after your first video, that was a concern of what to use if propane was gone. Have not used it yet but sure it will work fine. Thanks
I would recommend practicing starting fires in the rocket stove, just to get used to it and how it works so that you don't have to learn the hard way during a SHTF situation where stress and time can be determining factors in survival.
Excellent info! Own one of these but also want to learn how to build one out of discarded items for the purpose of aiding others. You may also want to cover how to make a Dakota Hole for cooking "on the road" when a smokeless fire is a necessity for safety.
G Willis I make one out of bricks. The design I found on you tube allows for controlling the amount of fire/heat. Guess it's like a damper effect. It's kept me from burning lots of food. Lol
City Prepping no I don’t. I just added it to my wish list on Amazon. Have seen them for years and been meaning to get one. I have several other types of stoves but not a rocket style.
City Prepping love your vids! My favorite prep channel! Like how informative and to the point of your vids! And, the 5 to 10 minute duration! Keep up the Good Work!!!
Thanks for the idea Tina. Rocket stove is on the way so I'm going to make a still boiler from a 7 gal propane tank, copper tubing, bucket of cool water and a collecting container. The threads on propane bottles are 3/4" npt so simple plumbing pipe should work on the bottle. My theorys are always easier than the actual builds though.
Here is the problem with the distillation of water. Unless desalination (removing salt from water) its a waste of fuel resources. Consider this...It takes 10x the amount of energy to distill an amount of water as it took to bring it to a rapid boil. So would you rather have 10 gallons of safe drinking water or 1 gallon of distilled water? Again boiling will do nothing to remove salt from water however it is enough to kill bacteria and viruses and that’s all you need. Check out the Helius Rocket Stove by Titan Ready USA. You can forge steel while you cook dinner and you can stand up and cook!
I would not call it cheap at 45+ dollars and another 45+dollar for pot . How ever I will say i love mine fired one of the 2 I bought up for the first time yesterday. Cooked up a pot of plain old pinto beans took less time and free fuel I used twigs straight off the ground pot was fine stove great even cleanup was the same think it's my new cook top house stayed cool since I cooked on the porch out side might just spring for a few more for a full range out side easy and no air conditioning in the house it's a win win for daily use utility company sorry bout your loss😅
Thanks for answering if they could be used inside the fireplace. Glad they can, because they would be more efficient and can use smaller bits of stuff for fuel
Best for cooking. Thats one of the reason I have one, for that purpose, for our fireplace. Less so for heat, as the small fire within the stove doesn't produce a lot of heat. Secondly, most of the heat will go up the flue that must be open, as it is with any fire within a fireplace.
A good video. I prefer the Ironclad Supply Rocket Stove, which is virtually identical, but has 6 smaller prongs to accommodate different size cookware and comes with a nice, heavy duty canvas carry bag, that can double as a firewood hauler. Includes the feed rack, for the same price.
Wax dipped sticks for rainy day starts. Heat a cast iron skillet, flip it over on to a matching skillet, put a small fire on top and you have a home made dutch oven. Pizzas and corn bread. Aloha
For heating indoors the key magnifier is the heat exchanger. Don't let your valuable heat go straight out the chimney pass it by or through heat exchanging NOT GALVANIZED pipes. Galvanized pipes will produce toxic gas so never use them as heat exchangers. ..
@@davidsalo8397 Some people build earthen heat sinks within their exterior walls which store the heat for many hours, slowly releasing it into their living quarters. It depends on your circumstance but ideally you want the exhaust to flow around the bottom of your living quarter walls as the heat will rise uniformly from the area of the floor. Be absolutely certain your exhaust is not leaking even a little bit into your living quarters. You must also provide access to all your exhaust channels so they can be thoroughly cleaned at least once a year. TH-cam has a great bounty of information.
I was wondering if anyone or if you, CP, knew of a way to stay hidden indoors at night. I was researching stuff to block light coming from Inside your house towards the outside but haven't had much luck. Starting fires indoors is a no no if you can vent the smoke but even then that creates vapors that can be seen coming out of the vents drawing attention to you. Any suggestions?
Hi Arielle, love apple cider vinegar but how do you start the mother off.? I love your channel & all you do on your lovely farm. 😊Eric can do almost anything he's very clever & that saves you a heap of money. Love & Blessings always to you both..🙏🏼💙💟🌹🥰xxoo
Love your work🥰!! Can I put this in my normal fire place, as in would it be hotter but need less wood? Please? As i grew up slow combustion stove, so fireplace!!? Where’s the heat!! Takes to much wood to so maybe”rocket stove”to the rescue
Have you or readers experimented with some aluminum tube chimney like extensions that attach to the rocket stove which might allow it it to substitue as a sort of wood stove indoors or in a winter tent?
H Zilla a teepee could be heated without the vent attached, because it’s set up to naturally provide some ventilation at the top. For a stove this size though the teepee would have to be smaller, I think.
I like to see someone split firewood. As long as it isn't me. Puerto Rico has water born illnesses and I guess have never heard of boiling the water before you drink it. I enjoy FSS and Brad. Could you do a tutorial on a small wood burning stove for a house in a subdivision? Usually we turn the central heat on for two to four days a winter (southern Texas). But I know the winters are getting colder and longer in duration. Thank you, we enjoy your videos.
Any ideas on a heat exchanger for the top of the ecozoom to be used in a fireplace? We have an endless supply of twigs and I love the clean burn vs constantly cleaning my chimney.
Thanks for your video great job! I have been enjoying your videos for a few months.

Would this be safe to use indoors as a makeshift heater/cook wear Incase of power outage? I was thinking of getting it Incase power goes out during winter months.
I love my rocket stove (Silverfire Survivor) and have been using it for a couple years, mostly truck camping. I did try it once to stay warm with on a particularly cold night and did not find it of much use for that purpose, being as the fire is pretty much contained inside and not radiating heat outwards. My 20 lb propane tank now literally lasts for years. :)
I have a SilverFire Survivor, too. You're right, it's not designed for giving off much heat. Great for all sorts of cooking and with a Colman folding camp oven, baking, too. I bought mine, primarily as a backup for food preservation by waterbath and/or pressure canning, as applicable. Secondary use to cook in our fireplace with a minimum of fuel, in grid down situations. IMO, there isn't much that can't be done within reason with these small wood powered stoves.
+ItzFizz yeh, i've checked them out. problem is, most of the concrete block options (unless you get specifically fire blocks) can crumble and present a hazard which i'd like to avoid ;)
They are not portable, without a lot of work, either. Fine to have one, in the backyard and one that can be tossed in the back of the truck for a little tailgating or "car" camping.
The name pertains to the sound the oven makes while in use. As fuel is being burned you'll often hear a roaring sound coming from the stove as air is drawing through it, and it kinda sounds like a rocket.
I love fire...and respect it as well. I also love anything to do with fire, as in rocket stoves. I believe it would be a good idea for everyone to burn there wood more efficiently. From their homes, to our campsites. The way you burn wood matter to this planet, so...NO MORE SMOKE! Thanks!
Number 5 is misleading twaddle. Putting a basic cooking rocket stove in an open hearth will actually suck cold air into the house while giving almost no radiant heat. To heat a house, rockets are excellent as the correct type creates some exhaust pressure, allowing one to have a long horizontal exhaust to transfer most of the generated heat to the home. Some of these can be as much as 95%.
A thought about boiling water... If you invest in a meat thermometer, you only have to bring the water to 169 degrees. That is the pasteurizing temperature necessary to kill microbes. This is the industry standard for something even as microbe friendly as milk!!! Boiling, especially for long periods is a wast of fuel AND water & is a hold-over from pre-thermometer days when it was the only indicator that a safe temperature was reached. I have about a dozen survival books and you can see people are just copying an old idea adding time to sound safe & original. In the woods... sure bring to a boil and call it good. But grid down, with limited resources... use a meat thermometer to get it to 169 degrees.
+iver great question. I don't know if it really get hot enough to pull that off. from what I understand, it takes a lot of resources and heat to make that happen.
If you can add an air source like a hair dryer to fan the flames and keep your steel small like heavy wire or nails ...maybe. Better off using a campfire I think. You may ruin a stove like this in short order by adding air to it.
If the stove in the video, is like my SilverFire Survivor, the firebox is probably too small. Secondly, doubt that any of them are built to withstand the temperatures needed in a forge. I wouldn't risk it, especially if bellows or other means of increasing air flow are used.
Oldtimer Lee correct! It’s a stove not a forge! You have to get the temp hotter than a hoochie coochie if you’d want to melt metal, and that’ll cause these stoves to crack.
I could not start a fire in it. Twice! After hurricane Irma, we didn't have power for a week. I had a bunch of water and dry food but couldn't use it. A friend did it for me the last time. Anyone have tips?
+Chrystal R i just toss dry leaves at the bottom, small dry sticks in the vertical tube chamber and toss a match in. it takes off quickly for me at that point.
Crystal, practice lighting it while you are not under any stress, or in a hury. Where you can experiment with the stove and see just how little fuel (leaves, dead grass, old paper or boxes) you need to make a fire. Gather some dry leaves, or grass, or paper/ cardboard, dryer lint, oily rags in small strips, tolit paper, bird's nest, or wood shavings . Those fire starting materials are called tinder. Gather small dry sticks or weeds. From pincel size around, to thumb size around. That is called kindeling. You will need alot of kindeling. Than gather some larger dry sticks and branches. From thumb size to pop bottle size. Start fire with leaves or grass or paper or cardboard ect . When it is burning good and before it gos out add a few peices of small kindeling. No more than 3 or 4 at a time. Allow the kindeling to catch fire and burn some before adding more, but don't allow the fire to go out. If the flame stops, blow gentle at the base of the ambers and it should restart. Add more kindeling a little at at time. Build the fire by stacking a row like a titelly winks tower, or a jenga castle. When you have an amber base of burning small sticks or weeds, add the larger sticks one or two at a time. Wait till the bigger sticks are burning than add the big stuff a little at a time. And continue building the jenga castle fire tower. The time it takes to make a good fire is on average 15 to 20 minutes. For a rocket stove like the one in the video, a good wand lighter (a lighter with and extended long tip with the fire at the end) is needed to light the tinder in the back side first, than work your way to the front, going from side to side, lighting the tinder. When it starts going add the the small kindeling.
Jerry Guerra that's super helpful. Thank you. I tried small twigs and twisting paper like a big wick. It previously worked for the charcoal grill but not the stove. My friend got it going by using a bunch of kindling she said. So i will have to try the marshmallows again, for practice.
For someone that talks about opsec fairly often, i'm surprised that you would recommend making tons of smoke in a shtf situation. That will obviously tell people you have the ability to make fire. Which means you most likely have a fire to cook. And if everyone knows that you are cooking or have food to cook......well lets just say you won't be cooking for much longer.
New to the you tube channel...but I feel I will b here a while.....i am a gray man by nature/personality. just need to cut back the goat tee looks like im eating a tumble weed
i just clicked this video because of the tremendous clickbait title and instantly disliked it without watching. My third reason why might surprise you.
@@counselor1588 Exactly...Because in a several months long disaster situation keeping a low profile is a necessity from those who didn't prepare well enough and will want to steal what you have.
When I was young, my mother and I often cooked outside on what I eventually learned was a Dakota fire pit. I did not know, nor do I think she knew what it was called at the time, but we were poor, and it was an effective way of cooking. We got a crate from a broken grill on the side of the road, and propped it over the fire using brick pieces.
Dakota firepits ARE rocket stoves, basically. Only, the former is dug into the ground while the latter is portabilised.

How about using it for basic blacksmithing
iver I'm not sure if it can get hot enough. Everyone like this comment so it can get some answers!
+iver great question. I don't know if it really get hot enough to pull that off. from what I understand, it takes a lot of resources and heat to make that happen.
If you can add an air source like a hair dryer to fan the flames and keep your steel small like heavy wire or nails ...maybe. Better off using a campfire I think. You may ruin a stove like this in short order by adding air to it.
If the stove in the video, is like my SilverFire Survivor, the firebox is probably too small. Secondly, doubt that any of them are built to withstand the temperatures needed in a forge. I wouldn't risk it, especially if bellows or other means of increasing air flow are used.
Oldtimer Lee correct! It’s a stove not a forge! You have to get the temp hotter than a hoochie coochie if you’d want to melt metal, and that’ll cause these stoves to crack.
I could not start a fire in it. Twice! After hurricane Irma, we didn't have power for a week. I had a bunch of water and dry food but couldn't use it. A friend did it for me the last time. Anyone have tips?
+Chrystal R i just toss dry leaves at the bottom, small dry sticks in the vertical tube chamber and toss a match in. it takes off quickly for me at that point.
Chrystal R Make sure your not loading it up too much. Oxygen needs to get in for combustion to happen.
Ok. I will try that. Thanks!
Crystal, practice lighting it while you are not under any stress, or in a hury. Where you can experiment with the stove and see just how little fuel (leaves, dead grass, old paper or boxes) you need to make a fire. Gather some dry leaves, or grass, or paper/ cardboard, dryer lint, oily rags in small strips, tolit paper, bird's nest, or wood shavings . Those fire starting materials are called tinder.
Gather small dry sticks or weeds. From pincel size around, to thumb size around. That is called kindeling. You will need alot of kindeling. Than gather some larger dry sticks and branches. From thumb size to pop bottle size.
Start fire with leaves or grass or paper or cardboard ect . When it is burning good and before it gos out add a few peices of small kindeling. No more than 3 or 4 at a time. Allow the kindeling to catch fire and burn some before adding more, but don't allow the fire to go out. If the flame stops, blow gentle at the base of the ambers and it should restart. Add more kindeling a little at at time. Build the fire by stacking a row like a titelly winks tower, or a jenga castle. When you have an amber base of burning small sticks or weeds, add the larger sticks one or two at a time. Wait till the bigger sticks are burning than add the big stuff a little at a time. And continue building the jenga castle fire tower.
The time it takes to make a good fire is on average 15 to 20 minutes.
For a rocket stove like the one in the video, a good wand lighter (a lighter with and extended long tip with the fire at the end) is needed to light the tinder in the back side first, than work your way to the front, going from side to side, lighting the tinder. When it starts going add the the small kindeling.
Jerry Guerra that's super helpful. Thank you. I tried small twigs and twisting paper like a big wick. It previously worked for the charcoal grill but not the stove. My friend got it going by using a bunch of kindling she said. So i will have to try the marshmallows again, for practice.
excelente
Is it a rocket, or is it a stove? They are both so similar I can't tell the difference!
For someone that talks about opsec fairly often, i'm surprised that you would recommend making tons of smoke in a shtf situation. That will obviously tell people you have the ability to make fire. Which means you most likely have a fire to cook. And if everyone knows that you are cooking or have food to cook......well lets just say you won't be cooking for much longer.
Eric Garcia no, just be turned into a meal rather than just enjoying one..
New to the you tube channel...but I feel I will b here a while.....i am a gray man by nature/personality. just need to cut back the goat tee looks like im eating a tumble weed
Imagine walking up on a dude spreading his butt cheeks over smoke? Wtf are u doing...I'm bathing man
Just be careful with the farts.
human bones are a great source of fuel in an apocalypse
98 dollars for that... I think. Not. I'm better off making my own
I used 21 bricks for mine.... no cost either.... works great, and "portable" when I want to go
i just clicked this video because of the tremendous clickbait title and instantly disliked it without watching. My third reason why might surprise you.
Good work.
You over cooked the eggs and the screwed up the flip
Cajun style!
BUG OUT BAG TIME=GREAT VIDEO
Smudge pots are great unless you have asthma :(
cool
If you have a fireplace, maybe just light a fire in it instead of sticking the rocket stove in it.
I believe that the idea is that a rocket stove produces much less smoke, in a situation where it might be better to "lie low" to avoid attention?
@@counselor1588
Exactly...Because in a several months long disaster situation keeping a low profile is a necessity from those who didn't prepare well enough and will want to steal what you have.
The ancient Indian methods !!!
Make your own Rocket Stove out of bricks (for $15 or free if you have bricks)...look it up.
I've got my bricks ready in the garage!!!
make sure they're heat resistant bricks, otherwise they can crumble and start a fire.
@@CityPrepping how to know they are heat resistant bricks ?
Need to know! Are paving bricks ok?
Hé man. Who did your hair man . . .
Good video other then that is not a rocket stove......
smoke bath, wtf... that is nothing like smoking meat
if you have no wood, use books
USPortraitsThere is a video on youtube thar shows how to turn paper into a pulp like firelogs. They burn much longer than just loose pages.
If only those fearing disasters would stop working on causing them ...
How about talking about camping instead of trying to make money over paranoia ?
Boil water for 10 minutes.
Seriously!!!
