My son found this on the net and thought I might be interested. I have not tried it yet but I thought I would pass it along for those of us who can't install a Rocket Stove. I thought it was a pretty good idea if it works as advertised.

Guy, I recently shared this with my Facebook circle. I hope more people can be made aware of the idea, since if there is a power outage in cold climes it might make the difference that allows you to stay in your home, safely.

Since I camp at the farm a lot, I have used a variation on this idea to get me through some cold periods. Mine was a single pot over the propane stove burner turned to a low flame. The clay pot collects all the lampblack, reducing the pollutants released in the air. I was advised to keep some air circulating in the area, but when you are in a pop-up camper that is less of a problem than you might realize (especially in August when the temps are in triple digits).

Now my to do/shopping list includes a stop at the garden center for some clay pots.

Here is another variation on the same idea. They seem to work well for a small area.

I liked how this guy set things up. I thought the beer can chicken roaster was a good idea. He doesn't talk about how he made it, but it is the same as the others.

Glad you can use it Manny. I liked the idea when I 1st saw it today. I don't think it is an end all to cure all, but I think it has potential in limited spaces or in emergency situations when the power goes out etc.
