☆What is a Rocket Stove?☆
A rocket Stove is a small heating stove which uses kindling as fuel.
A rocket stove is designed to efficiently use a very small amount of fuel to produce the
largest amount of heat energy.
Thus, the rocket stove has become popular in regions which are not heavily wooded, and in
developing countries. In Japan, the convenience and efficiency of the stove has made it
more popular in recent years. It has been used in relief camps in Japan after the March 11th
disaster in 2011.

Small kindling and leaves which would normally be thrown away can be turned into fuel. Such
