Experimenting with rocket stoves as a foil to high cost of cooking gas

I just learned about the rocket stove in You tube and thanks to it, I now have one of my own. And so far, I am very happy with it.

A rocket stove is really just a stove improved by science. But it is not rocket science. It is just a contraption where the three elements of fire can most efficiently combine for maximum heating. If done right it burns fuel thoroughly and  cleanly, generating intense heat without smoke.

My next experiment with this stove is to find out if it can be fueled by market waste such as coconut husk, corn cobs and maybe even peanut shells.
