Thread: Efficient and less expensive way for keeping warm in winter months...

Spent the day out on the lake ice fishing today... ...and took along a StoveTec tri-fuel rocket stoke, plus a few dead branches from a tree on the shore, to stay warm. The stove did a good job generating enough heat to fend off the cold... ...and the cost for fuel was zero, except for energy needed to break off branches and put them in the stove.

OK, I liked both of the double barrels shown in the video. But since looking for one of them would more than likely get me in trouble, I'll have to look for the other one. And the more I see one of them, the 22/.410 that is, the more I want one.

I want one of these No.96 Silent Damper - Scottish Trials. - Classic Camp Stoves - The online resource for the collector & enthusiast

And for a home/cabin,garage even, this one looks really sharp and was well done and I approve. lol i'm gonna build one. get a bunch of peyote,some birkenstocks and a...

I watched several other video's that were at this one...Pretty cool ! Or should I say Hot :

My parents had a Buck stove fireplace insert with a ceramic catalyst. After the fire got to 400 degrees (had a thermometer in it) you engaged the catalyst. The inside stove temperatures got up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit! Outside, you couldn't tell they had a fire going. If you looked real real close, you could see a little bit of what I can only describe as vapor coming out of the chimney. Edit: Oh, and load it with wood before you wen to...
