![]() ![]() Stove on right burned significantly less efficiently, used more fuel, and required constant maintenance. Note photo below with the SilverFire� Survivor rocket stove on left showing fine ash and heavy char requiring constant removal on the stove on right. The SilverFire� Survivor is more than twice as fast boiling large volumes of water compared to the BioLite Basecamp fan stove ($299.95) for example, without the need to constantly remove spent embers due to less efficient stove combustion. Bringing large volumes of water to a boil with minimal fuel and just fine ash left as the end product is what distinguishes real stove performance. An important stove test to measure meaningful stove performance from one stove to another was the creation of the WBT (5 liter Water Boiling Test). Providing a minimum of a gallon of emergency drinking water, or a pot of water to cook a meal (5 liters of water or more), or an adequate amount of water to sanitize your cookware is an important rocket stove comparison. This is not an important daily cooking or emergency preparedness performance endpoint. All rocket stoves are not equal, although they can cook a hamburger or boil small pots of water. Try boiling a large pot of water on a Weber charcoal BBQ grill, for example, you'll learn it can't be done, there is not adequate heat transfer. The rocket stove was invented to use found scrub on the ground, to provide the ability to cook for free, eliminate reliance on commercial distribution, reduce emissions, reduce fuel requirements, use renewable fuel resources, and maximize heat transfer to the cooking vessel. Charcoal, although burning hot does not boil large volumes of water since the flames are not licking the pot (reduced heat transfer). In a real emergency, large volumes of water are required for drinking, cooking, & cleaning. Charcoal burning releases harmful methane emissions during production and then again a second time when cooking. The pollution is impacting air sheds worldwide. ![]() Charcoal production only yields 30% of the tree. Illegal charcoal production is why so many areas on this planet's forests have disappeared. The idea was to teach the uneducated to stop using charcoal and move them to twigs & biomass! The 2 Door stove sold by StoveTec & EcoZoom was created for uneducated 3rd World cooks that were and continue to destroy their fuel resources by producing and cooking with charcoal. Charcoal or coal reduces the stove shelf life. It was never the intent to use charcoal as a primary fuel for this stove. StoveTec (which we created to market stoves for Aprovecho in 2008) offers a humanitarian 2 door stove. ![]() Rock mineral wool insulation is superior to cheap clay insulation or tiles, period.Īnother point of confusion is the 2 door wood and charcoal stove sold by StoveTec & Ecozoom (same stove, different paint jobs). Stainless steel is a superior material for stove construction than mild steel. Our new stainless steel fuel rack ensures greater safety by not allowing hot embers to fall through wire rack. SilverFire uses real ventilation ductwork for secondary combustion in the firebox floor, no cheap clay titles to crack, or fail. The thin mild steel StoveTec, EcoZoom, & EnviroFit stove bodies are subject to short stove life. They all look the same with different paint jobs, slight design modifications, and have cheap clay tile floor titles that crack and fall apart. The Stainless steel solid shelf has a tab that locks directly into combustion chamber floor and allows easy insertion of bio-fuels into the combustion chamber, compared to poorly designed wire racks utilized by StoveTec, EcoZoom and early EnviroFit stoves, which are easily identified by painted mild steel stove bodies that are inferior and poor quality. This is not possible by inferior round-shaped combustion chambers found in most of our competitor's stoves. Our Survivor rocket stove is easily identified by our solid stainless steel fuel shelf that stows inside the rectangular combustion chamber! Another SilverFire� rocket stove design 1st! No cheap painted steel wire rack to lose or misplace when you need it! Our correct rectangle-shaped rocket stove combustion chamber allows the stainless steel shelf to ride inside the combustion chamber behind our custom black stainless steel door, when not in use. Competitive rocket stoves utilize primary combustion only. Our rocket stove is more efficient and uses less fuel than other rocket stove designs. SilverFire combines both secondary and primary combustion. Our SilverFire� Survivor rocket stove features our new solid stainless steel fuel shelf! This state of the art clean cookstove is durable, fun, and fast.
