This is an older book predating the advent of the
rocket stove, but it remains to best overall book on burning
wood that I am aware of. Everything from reviewing dozens of standard model types, how to's for DIY construction on all budgets, how to start fires, how fuel and oxygen interact to make fire, how draw and draft work, wood types, how to cook with fire. It all here - easily written and very readable to the common man with plenty of black and white photos and diagrams.
Would highly recommend to those interested in the subject.
