SilverFire Rocket Stove Demo

[@stolenorange]

Very happy with your explanation of the secondary burn. Some advertise this as a gasifier stove and I couldn't figure out how. Great to see a shot of this working.

[@paddlingfan1]

After more than 100 burns (most days I have at least 1 fire in mine) in my Silver Fire Rocket Stove I've found that the less wood in the firebox the better off you are in efficiency and the more controllable the temperature. Believe it or not this little stove can get so hot you can't hardly keep up with the cooking process. So the most import things are start a very little fire and move it to the back of the firebox as quickly as you can. Only use enough wood to reach your desired cooking temperature. Often it's just 1 or 2 sticks at a time for a fry pan and a little more for boiling liquid. I think you'll find it's the best outdoor cooking stick stove (rocket stove design)on the market today. I highly recommend everyone should have one in case the power goes out. I cook in the fireplace with this stove during bad weather and during the winter. Best investment in cooking I've made. That is next to learning to cook with cast iron.

[@danchuan8864]

I spent some time and finally understood how inovative and simplist the secondary burning design is, great share as well, thanks!

[@darylneal3503]

I agree with your simple seasoning and cooking of deer venison. Though we'd use vegetable oil in place of butter.My parents with all my seven brothers often had hunting success. We'd bring in the harvest fresh out of the woods,hang and skin. There was always a back strap out and a cast iron skillet going while butchering. The butchering was also done on the kitchen table. Dear mom had to endure the mess .She's 87 yrs. young and still enjoys venison. I enjoy your videos.Your a good teacher. Thank you!

[@engineer775]

Thanks for watching!

[@tuckerdave1]

Man that's the best ! That's exactly how I cook it , butter salt , pepper and a good old cast iron pan , nice job . Thanks

[@Rickugg]

Hello: That's a very nice stove. Regular people never, never see the things you show here. A friend came by and I showed you drinking the pond water out of the fish tank, they could not believe it. Has even 1% of Americans see the things you show and do. I know what could happen to the power grid from a Nuclear Weapon 150 miles up causing a EMP. I said we could go back to 1850, is that fact. Merry Christmas to all.

[@engineer775]

Appreciate it! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@LowBuck]

I was one of the first to get both this and the Super Dragon from Todd, these stoves and that pot are amazing!! Todd, SilverFire, are a great company doing amazing things, thanks for showing his quality designs

[@spider8777]

This is the best I have seen in a commercial built rocket stoves. In other comments I noted that some purest have issues with the commercialism around prepping, I get it. Although I wish I still had some of the youth some of you have I do not. Time in building one is not going to happen with me and I have several other projects I'm working on. I also still have to work for a living.So I appreciate your reviews and your projects.Not everything can be centered around portability especially if you have more than one to take care of in an emergency.I think most of what I see in the "NEW Prepping" arena is too centered on those who are healthy and strong.For a lot of us that are older most of these prepping concepts are not new !. I do have one question where did you get the skirted pot !! I need one of these as well. Since I do subscribe to your channel I'm going to click on your email and purchase the stove and in that way I hope I'm contributing to your work. If you can please respond soon I would like to purchase both.Thank you for being "Practical"

[@engineer775]

Thank you sir. I sent you an PM.

[@RhisiartGwilym]

Great to see someone talking about Rocket-stoves on YT who actually understands the principles of construction and high-temperature ultra-clean, ultra-fuel-economical burning which distinguish real Rockets from the great crowd of amateur cargo-cult impressionist versions! ('If it looks vaguely like a Rocket, and roars a bit, well that's good enough… isn't it…?', Er - no, not really.) Thanks Engineer! I too am starting the think that the SilverFire may be the best (real) small, L-form cooking Rocket yet. Paddlingfan1's post below seem to confirm that too, on the back of lots of experience with it. I have similar results from home-mades, including dual-purpose heat/cook J-form Rockets; but probably not yet anything quite as good as this one. What do the Aprovecho people think of it, I wonder?

[@jackdidntdoit]

The only prepare channel to not annoy the crap out of me. Nice videos

[@wdempsey100]

Just as a thought to some of the comments below. Within the last two weeks there has been an ice storm in Canada and the North Eastern US. This was not a civilization and world ending event. It was an event which has people with out grid supplied power in major cities like Toronto, Ont. for more then a week. A stove like this would have allowed a lot of people to prepare warm meals with all of the newly available sticks and wood . Looks a great stove Thanks

[@MegaCaseo]

You should be a SilverFire sales rep. I am now going to go get one. Great Video bro.

[@engineer775]

Appreciate it. checkout the link in the video description.

[@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me]

That is a very attractive and functional stove. I can see you sure like it! Merry Christmas!

[@Zedoutdoors]

Sweet looking stove, thanks for the video and heads up on this ~Peace~

[@wyattoneable]

Love the stove cast iron skillets and cooking outside. A very informative video so thanks again and I must say, I think you were enjoying the day cooking that manly meat!

[@engineer775]

Yes, It was a most excellent lunch. Just meat, fresh from the woods.

[@kimchigerbil7437]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@rosewood513]

May I give a tip? Cold Butter in a hot pan put your meat in and let it sear for a minute if done right it will not stick, turn over and you're done. Nice video thanks.

[@kgs2127]

one thought on cooking your back strap or any other Venison cooked in a pan like this...... you should add your seasonings to the pan before adding the Venison, especially any kind of salt because salt causes the meat to release it's moisture and you end up boiling the meat instead of "frying" or browning it....I can't take credit for this tip, it's from "Wild Bounty" an awesome cookbook for wild game and other "wild" foods, that my Son got with an Outdoor magazine subscription, but I can tell you that it works, especially with cast iron cookware, (which is the only cookware to use IMHO after 35+ yrs of trial and error on many different types of "stove") In fact I wouldn't eat Venison unless it was highly disguised (buried in a casserole or smothered in spices/sauces etc) until I tried some of the tips and recipes in that book and never understood how the guys could eat the tenderloin/back straps "plain" because they were either overcooked & tasted like shoe leather (when cooked long enough to brown) or gray & tasted like Liver (when lightly cooked as you did) Cast iron should be preheated before you add butter/spices, in fact you don't need butter if the pan is properly seasoned and will get a better steak if you "dry cook" it but the pan has to be really hot so you can cook it quickly (sear the meat) especially when working with "thin" meat. Cast Iron is the perfect compliment to these rocket stoves! Thanks for the Review!

[@TheBergy32]

Certainly a little fancier than the rocket stove I made. Nice!

[@wbmusarra]

Am having a hard time seeing how it achieves a secondary burn. Any tubes facing down toward the primary burn would act like chimneys? No? All secondary air devices that I have seen(and I have seen a lot of them) have their secondary tubes aiming in an upward direction utilizing the draw of the heat to pull the air in. With a double walled device it would seem they would have vent lines tapped into the side of the walls of the primary chimney supplying the air for the secondary burn. Have you torn one apart to see how it is constructed? Your thoughts.

[@BluesLicks101]

How do you rate this product verses the Stove Tec units? better? worse? I know these are lighter and are stainless steel and have some air gap on the bottom, any other advantages or disadvantages? thx.

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

it looks great i always wanted one. only problem is by the time they are shipped to the UK they are way more than a frontier stove. i can see this is better for cooking and has a better efficiency but not sure if it is as good for heating or as tough. what do you think?

[@engineer775]

Can get you one for stove cost plus ~$75.00 for shipping.

[@raykos1351]

nice piece of kit

[@rebeljames5520]

Great video...

[@massis32210]

sweet video... What place kind i find this stove and how much?

[@engineer775]

A link for where and how much is the video description.

[@phantom2226]

What about the smoke? Does this one produce any smoke? How did you get away from smoke? Thank you

[@Graveltrucking]

That works well, all that heat on a little bit of wood mass.

[@BreeUSA]

How's the soot build up on the pots? Both for this rocket stove and the silverfire hunter gasifier?

[@angryshrub1]

Was that a fawn? That's the smallest blackstrap I've ever seen. Love the review.

[@mikeadrover5173]

As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~

[@SkinnyMedic]

You can invite me to lunch any time!

[@bruceforster3709]

+SkinnyMedic Me too, lol! Seriously, I have the HIGHEST respect for Mr. Hunt!

[@CaptJohnsBar]

Real butter, salt, and pepper is all you need...Maybe onions !

[@paulsagala9323]

It is impressive, thanks! I need to have an idea of the wood quantity and indicative calorific value. There seems to be a fair amount of stainless steel in its construction. Paul, Kampala Uganda

[@sirmoloch]

Basically...its like a portable dakota fire pit. Really cool!

[@jamielittle9056]

But how would you simmer something with this stove besides restricting air flow?(Which is already done) Decrease the fuel amount?

[@goriverman]

That's a awesome stove

[@spider8777]

BTW in my last post I mentioned older folk if you care to see what we do then you can check our group out at www.meetup.com/NorthernArizonaPreppers/ yes I do know a thing or 2 as well as others and we share that it in our group. Thanks for letting me express!!

[@samuelvillaver3479]

great jod folks..could you send me the diagram on how to construct?thanks

[@StatenIslandPrepper]

nice stove,,,thanks

[@coptechgold]

Well done, I plan on getting one.

[@anselmosaopaulo]

I'm watching your vídeo in Brazil: how can I by one of this ?

[@AROTTWEILERR]

+Anselmo Jorge amazon

[@andykra5134]

Is this stove made in the USA?

[@engineer775]

The stove is made in China. I know that folks have and aversion to that but they are so far ahead of us on TLUD and rocket stove technology as 100s of 1000s live off of these stoves in rural China.

[@lifeprepper1130]

engineer775 Practical Preppers Just think if the survivors in the Philippines had these stoves. They'd be very thankful to be able to provide clean water and heat for their families and have a way to cook any food they were able to find or fish up. The destruction of the hurricane left a *lot* of biomass available that they could be using to give themselves safe water.

[@BrettGadient]

I sure love your stuff. Wish you had a better camera:)

[@engineer775]

Maybe I need to do a camera review. Any suggestions?

[@AROTTWEILERR]

+engineer775 Practical Preppers your camera is fine sir

[@CRAZY03ify]

I need one

[@travv88]

Oh man this would be so useful if you get a blackout and have electric stove only.

[@saucercrabzero]

You should check out a website called Cooking For Engineers. It's, uh, cooking, for engineers.

[@engineer775]

That's awesome. Thanks .. I'm there,

[@777strongcoffee]

Now you are making me hungry...

[@AROTTWEILERR]

was that dear dear or shot hot

[@TheDenisedrake]

What? No truffle oil???

[@brent338]

this stove and dragon pot combo are next level... love mine, check out my popcorn vid...

[@donaldbadeaux5455]

You need rice and beans with that...

[@robertjdaugherty5301]

As always,only need four things for any meat ,smoke,fire,salt and pepper.Anything else is just distraction...

[@troydottin7890]

We do cook better , no joke my rocket is made of concrete

[@tblbaby]

What you have to buy is no advancement, may as well buy propane. It's what you can do yourself. Making $ is great, but infecting everything with commercialism over self sufficiency, trying to control a piece of the masses production, it doesn't seem to see the line between profit and corruption. I know, sounds weird, but it's a thing I'm seeing. Prepping for preppers, and the prepping industry gone deep into commercialism as priority.

[@engineer775]

You can spend 125 on a stove like this and cook/can food forever. I have yet to meet a prepper who has enough propane stored to cook all the food they have stored. If they have they are very wealthy. They also do not have fuel enough for canning all they are attempting to grow. These stoves get better and better and use less and less wood to get the job done. I love wood burning stoves and the guys that send me stoves know that I will put them through their paces. The ones that haven't worked you have not seen me do a video of. They just are not up to speed. Just offering real solutions. Yes there are folks making money because that is what they are good at. I am good at analyzing stuff and I might sell one or two along the way. BTW, I haven't sold one yet. Not sure why you do not think this stove is an advancement? Appreciate your comment.

[@tblbaby]

well it is advancement, but if you stay home in a shtf seems like there are better means. If you have to leave it would be pretty bulky. Seems like advancement there would be a method to make a better stove out of common materials & simple tools. No offence to you, you do great things here, but new commercial stoves like that seem more about the prepper industry than practicality.

[@engineer775]

I got you. No problem. There are many who will not build a stove in a crisis situation so these are options. Bugging out has to be an option but I never recommend it. Shelter in place if at all possible and then these types of preps will shine. You might have to spend all your time on security and you won't have time to setup infrastructure for cooking, sanitation, commo, power etc etc. Take care.

[@TraderJack641]

engineer775 Practical Preppers For me, bugging in is the only option and in that event, it will be necessary to have a means of cooking like this. Something small and efficient. I have plenty of trees on my property so I can cook with wood providing that I have a stove to use, which I don't, yet. My two cents is that propane ranges will work short term (1+ month) for folks with average sized tanks (if it isn't winter and they don't also use it for heating). However, unless you have a 1,000 gallon tank, you won't have enough to cook/can for a year if that is your only way to do so (again assuming that no gas is being used for heat).
