A rocket stove is a sustainable fuel efficient cooking stove, with minimal smoke production. There are many different stove designs and uses, but they can all mostly be made from reused materials. The fuel chamber and chimney are insulated, so the heat is used efficiently with little lost to the surroundings. Rocket stoves can be used as indoor / outdoor cookers, or even heaters and boilers indoors! For more info and to see one come along to the workshop…

What to expect

We will start with an introduction to rocket stoves in general and various designs, followed by a short question and answer session. We will then go on to look at the construction of a specific design in detail, taking apart a demo stove to inspect the insides.

Following the structure of Manchester Permaculture Network meetings, the workshop will include food and eating, and lots of it! Please bring a dish to share (about the quantity that you would eat), and the next part of the workshop is eating together.
