Hello fellow rocketeers,

An article on cooking efficiency from Low Tech Magazine and their study on thermal efficiency of different methods of cooking. Rocket stoves are mentioned and rank very high in both thermal efficiency and decreased water boiling time compared to other methods of cooking.

My favorite quote:

My project thread
Agriculture collects solar energy two-dimensionally; but silviculture collects it three dimensionally.

try a month in the "gardening gardeners" program to see if it soothes your soul
