FAQ

What is a rocket stove and how does it work?

πŸ”₯The rocket stove is a vertical combustion fireplace.

The wood is placed in a tube inclined at 45Β° and burns only at its end.

Air is drawn in naturally from the bottom, creating a powerful draft that concentrates the heat upwards.

The result: an intense, clean and very efficient flame with little wood.
Will my Rocket Stove rust?

πŸ› οΈ Raw steel may develop slight surface oxidation when in contact with moisture. This is normal and harmless.

We recommend seasoning your stove from the first use. This protective patina stabilizes the steel and gives it a unique character over time.
How do I season my rocket stove?

πŸ”₯ When using for the first time, light a moderate fire and let the stove heat up for 15 to 20 minutes.

Next, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the exterior surfaces with a cloth.

Repeat the operation 2 to 3 times.

The heat polymerizes the oil and forms a natural and durable protective layer.
How do I adjust the fire's power?

πŸ”§ The stove is equipped with an air damper at the front.

Fully open: maximum draft for a powerful flame, ideal for searing or boiling quickly.

Partially closed: less air for a gentler fire, perfect for simmering.
What types of cooking are possible?

🍳 With the stove alone, place a saucepan or casserole dish directly on top to simmer your dishes.

Use the grill to grill meats, vegetables and fish.

With the casserole dish support, enjoy slow and stable cooking.

One appliance, all your cooking needs.
Why aren't rocket stoves painted?

πŸ› οΈ Even high-temperature paint eventually cracks, flakes off and emits fumes with use.

We therefore chose raw steel for its durability and authenticity.

Natural seasoning creates a stronger and healthier protection than industrial paint.
