Rocket Stove Building

Come and build rocket stoves in the green belt of north London on our Permaculture Micro-farm and LAND centre.

Using old 5 gallon tins we can create the rocket effect that is so important for Africa and the economy of cooking anywhere. These stoves are made from tin cans and stabilized clay - otherwise known as Shiv.

You will be mixing the semi prepared clay and forming the rocket chamber with our prepared formers. This is a very enjoyable pass time and can help benefit the world. They burn with very little fumes as the thin twig principle means you get a hotter flame with more air for good combustion.

We show how various pots and woks can cook really fast as air venting is adjusted to perfection

This half day course is also offering an insight into biochar too as this type of stove produces char and/or ash.. (both are needed in composting!) Stove is built with biochar too.
