Great video! You clearly showed the product and how it worked without wasting time. I’m sure you wrote some sort of script and maybe had a scene list. That’s what they call production values! So many guys do long, rambling intros, and they might have good things to say but it’s hard to sit through all the “umms” and “like I saids.” Good work!
Thanks for the video. I saw one video where a fellow put a cast iron griddle over the top. It was longer than the opening at the top and he was able to cook several items on it at the same time and worked well.
The rocket stove is also handy to have an alcohol burner when sticks are too moist to burn due to snow, rain, ice, and sleet. Put the alcohol burner inside the feeding hole on the side, and you are good to go. You can even put the simmer ring on the alcohol burner and snuff it out.
good review on the stove, not for backpacking but car camping, off grid, emergencies I can see it being used....you never said how the steak turned out it did look good
I ordered the same design from a different manufacturer. Hopefully it won't disappoint. I'm pretty pleased with my home-made stove I put together from an old chimney and some tin soup and coffee cans. With the chimney, it shields the flame from the wind so , keep in mind if wind pushes your flame at any time the amount of concentrated heat to your food will be diminished. It's going to take longer to get it simmer or boiling.
So I use a bio light stove with grill and love it. I bought the Eco versa because I like the cast iron top that I can use with a heavy pan. What I’m trying to do is figure out a way to use wood pellets. I was wondering if you have tried this. I’m thinking of a stainless steel can about 6 inches high with drilled holes sides and bottom. If there is something already out there please let me know.
@@ricochet243 I actually did. It’s a stainless steel piece you can pick up at Walmart for eating utensils. It has holes all around it. It fits perfectly inside and I can burn wood pellets.
I know its a bit off topic but can you tell me about the orange and yellow plate behind the photos? Not the big orange platter but the basket like plate that looks Native American. I am particularly interested in if its Native American and interested about the design on it?
neil b you can get any charcoal grill top like Webber that’s round and fits the Eco Zoom then you can place your kettle on top, same if you want to grill steaks. That’s what I’ve done. Very efficient on fuel, well built.
Curious..does it soot up your pots like other fire stoves...also how hot does the bottom get? Can you set it on a wood table or tree stump etc...getting ready to order one
This guy definitely sooted up his pan good and it happens when you put too much wood in. When you are burning efficiently, there is zero smoke coming out of the chimney. I have a Silver Fire rocket stove and wood is the best for example the wooden campsite table. I have melted a little bit into a lifetime plastic table.
I have watched other videos and they were using less wood with good results. It seems that this was his first time using it. I saw one video where a fellow put a cast iron griddle over the top. It was longer than the opening at the top and he was able to cook several items on it at the same time and worked well.
I thought the whole point of these stoves is that they emitted a small amount of smoke. I was gonna get one but not if it puts off this much smoke. I don’t want to be a sitting duck for someone that can see it.
I will tell you that all wood in Louisiana is wet, even when it seems dry. I have used the stove with real dry firewood, like from a store, and there is essentially no smoke. Thanks for watching
@@m.e.3614 from Google :) Seasoned wood is wood that has been thoroughly dried for a proper amount of time. It can be wood that has been cut down right on your property, stored in a dried place and allowed to dry for a minimum of six months.
RIP to that seasoning blend that got burnt to a crisp. Dude definitely has no idea how to cook, but if your purpose is to "survive" then that's irrelevant.

I am glad that I found your video on explaining what this wonderful stove is, I will definitely recommend to my family and friends for camping.
Thanks for the video. I saw one video where a fellow put a cast iron griddle over the top. It was longer than the opening at the top and he was able to cook several items on it at the same time and worked well.
1:31 what is the inner material ?? Cement ? clay ? ceramic ?
Does the top cast iron part , seperate from the body ??
Facing the opening where the wood goes in towards the wind helps immensely. You can see the wind direction coming from the top left of the screen.
The rocket stove is also handy to have an alcohol burner when sticks are too moist to burn due to snow, rain, ice, and sleet. Put the alcohol burner inside the feeding hole on the side, and you are good to go. You can even put the simmer ring on the alcohol burner and snuff it out.
Great video! and I recommend Anbull stove, same structure as Ecozoom and cheaper! 20% off on Amazon now!!!
Update: They run now 3/15/22 for $150.00 on Amazon ...and as high as $248.00 on eBay
Looks real good. Does anyone know if the Stovetec Super Pot is compatible with this rocket stove?
I got a top grill from a Webber to put on top and cook my steaks with charcoal instead of a pan, it fits in the Ecozoom bag.
Yeah, nothing like greese and fat dripping into the stove,,,, great idea
Have you considered partnering this Ecozoom Versa with the Saratogajack Thermal Pot??? Love putting these two together!!! Efficient Survival!
How easy is it to clean, remove all the ashes?
good review on the stove, not for backpacking but car camping, off grid, emergencies I can see it being used....you never said how the steak turned out it did look good
Steak was good :) Thanks for watching!
Silverfire vs ecozoom? Which is better quality for long term?
Looks like it could use about another half inch away between the burn port. That would help all that initial smoke eh?

Can I ask what brand? I'm looking at a few as well.
I see there was a bit of smoke to start with. Did the steak get any of the smoke flavor?

Did you find a way to burn pellets and what stove do you use now? Thanks!

How do smaller items like a coffee perc fit on that cast iron grate?

Good review! Looks Like an awesome Product! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching! It's a very nice stove
Great video. Thank you
i must have this!
can you use this as a fire pit also
It doesn’t give off heat like a fire pit it’s more for cooking

tracker 584 you need something under it, I got a cheap pizza pan from the dollar store but aluminum foil would work too.
Rubbing some dish detergent, before cooking, will help wash off easily. Old Girl Scout trick.
Are you aware of Silver Fire and their Survival Rocket Stove? Looks even better
Ecozoom has this stove at 30% off ($90.95 net) with free shipping through the holidays.
Looks like you are over loading the stove with fuel especially at 5:00 mark. There should be zero smoke coming out from under the pan.
I was wondering about that. It seemed like a lot smoke and you don't want to give yourself away if you are in an urban area.
I have watched other videos and they were using less wood with good results. It seems that this was his first time using it. I saw one video where a fellow put a cast iron griddle over the top.

U should do a comparison to ur rocket stove

PaleoHikerMD ok good to know. Thanks.
70% less smoke??
He used green sticks. If the wood is seasoned, you can easily cut the smoke in half
@@simoc24 What is seasoned wood?
@@m.e.3614 from Google :)
Seasoned wood is wood that has been thoroughly dried for a proper amount of time. It can be wood that has been cut down right on your property, stored in a dried place and allowed to dry for a minimum of six months.
@@simoc24 Thank you for the explanation. :)
Birch bark in South Louisiana? You must be growing your own.
Nope, just friends who send it to me :)
@@PaleoHikerMD lucky!! None in florida either but we have pine fat wood and pitch
You told us that you had kids 12 years ago. I am getting a really nasty vibe by this. What have you done with them ?
A LOT OF SMOKE COMES OUT OF IT , IT SEEMS , THEY COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER DESIGN JOB TO KEEP THE SMOKE AT AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM.
RIP to that seasoning blend that got burnt to a crisp. Dude definitely has no idea how to cook, but if your purpose is to "survive" then that's irrelevant.
Overloading this stove looks like a good way to burnt your food
Too much wood buddy!
Why are you playing the Covid music? GD I hate that diddy
Wow to much smoke
