EcoZoom Zoom Versa Rocket Stove - Wood, Biomass, or Charcoal Fuel

Product Information

Meanwhile, air vents towards the bottom make for enhanced air circulation so that the fuel burns without smoke. The Winnerwell Nomad Large is a great choice for heating or cooking in medium-size spaces such as a canvas wall tent, a shed, teepee, or even tiny homes. The tent is pretty durable, a credit to the 304 stainless-steel material it is constructed with. It’s small, so it took some careful placing to get the pan sitting right on the support, but the pan was soon heating up nicely. The Kelly Kettle is located on top of a bowl (also made of stainless steel), which has a tiny hole on its side. All in, from getting the fire started to getting the water boiling, it took me about 22 minutes. You could probably shave that down with practice. But this stove works at its own pace. Yes, you can control the heat by adding more or less wood. But you aren’t going to be breaking any boiling-time records, no matter how much wood you put in there.

You can use charcoal, solid biomassor firewood for cooking on these stoves, depending on the model. The stove works best when used in small to medium-sized tents but may be overwhelmed in a large tent. The Zoom Versa features an abrasion resistant and durable ceramic combustion chamber with a 10 cm in diameter vertical section that forces the gases to mix with the flame, decreasing harmful emissions and adds a refractory metal liner to the inside of the combustion chamber that protects the ceramic insulation, increases the life of your stove, and improves combustion efficiency.

Stovetec Big Foot Deluxe Stovetec Big Foot Deluxe Multi Fuel Cookstove This is a small camping stove really designed for one or two people, but it’s very efficient and soon had a frying pan heating up nicely. We found the kettle pot and the grill a little unstable, so we had to be very careful how we placed them on the stove.
