Rocket Stoves For Sale | Clean Cook Stove | Biomass Stove. Deadwood Stove Company, Valera TX. Discuss Cooking - Deadwood Stove review. A few weeks ago, someone posted a thread about the deadwood cook stove. I ended up purchasing one from their website and have been using it here at home and on a recent camping/fishing trip to Kentucky Lake. So I thought I would share my observations. Unpacking: When I took it out of the box my impression was "this thing is a tank" The metal is thick -- all of the metal is thick. It appears that there is a was a lot of hand-work went into building it and the fit and finish is good. This is not mass-produced stamped out Chinese junk. We own 2 other versions of rocket stoves. The instructions show using some newspaper with twigs on top to start a fire. We have used the stove 12-14 times over the past couple weeks.
All in all I give the deadwood stove a thumbs up. Pros: No fuel to purchase Heavy construction, should last forever. Cons: Weighs 18lbs. If I missed anything, PM me or email billmanning@gmx.com Thanks, Bill. StoveTec Home Page. Deadwood Stove Company, Valera TX.
