Cook Grain with Rocket Stove and a Haybox Cooker - PEP BB food.sand.grain.hay

Here is my submission for this BB. I cooked white rice (same cookware as I used for the solar oven--not aluminum). In my pictures, you can see the foamy water of the boiling pot on the rocket stove, the indistinct grains at the start of the haybox cooking, and the much more distinct grains at the end of the haybox cooking.

I'm attaching the following pictures:
 - the rice and water boiling on a rocket stove. Notice the foamy, boiling water.
 - my heated uncooked rice being transferred to a haybox cooker (with clock). Notice the foam on the water and the indistinct grains
 - my cooked rice coming out of a haybox cooker (with wall clock)
 - the final product is more than two cups of rice. Handy for dinner at Wheaton Labs despite the late hour.

Hello all! I am really excited to get started earning bb's but I have a question. I live in Georgia and do not know anyone who owns a rocket stove. Can anyone suggest a rocket stove that can be purchased that would be up to the standards of this bb. Thank you.

Hi Jordan, welcome to Permies! Several people have used commercially made rocket stoves to complete this badge. You can also see this post where Jordan built a basic J tube rocket stove out of bricks!

I made a bunch of rice for our dinner tonight here at the ptj.  I got the water to a boil on the jtube cooker near arrakis and finished it in the haybox behind the kitchen.  The rice was cooked to perfection, I was pleasantly surprised.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
  - you must produce at least two cups of grain
  - you bust bring the water and grain to a boil on a rocket stove
        - a Dakota fire pit is acceptable
  - you must complete the cooking in a haybox cooker
  - haybox cooker can be homemade or an insulated container that uses haybox cooker principles

To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide pics or video (<2 min) of the following:
attachment 1   - the grain and water boiling on a rocket stove
attachment 2   - your heated uncooked grain being transferred to a haybox cooker (with some sort of watch or timer)
          - must show how the grain isn't cooked yet: NOTE the water separation in attachment 2
attachment 3   - your cooked grain coming out of a haybox cooker (with some sort of watch or timer)
attachment 4   - show the final product is at least two cups of grain

Clarifications:
- All food prep and preservation BBs strictly prohibit plastic, teflon or aluminum touching the food at any point

Made some rice using a rocket stove and haybox cooker.

Cool experience. If I did it again I’d pack the haybox cooker with more mass to better insulate it.

I created a rocket stove from cinder blocks and bricks. I struggled getting the water to boil most likely because of my air gaps due to a lack of mortar. The rice still turned out yummy!

 For this BB I used a Dakota fire pit to boil the rice.  And I found that a cooler works great as a hay box cooker.

I made a little portable rocket stove out of cans following this tutorial. I was super excited by how fast and how hot it burned. I was glad that I had saved all of the scrap wood chips from splitting wood this winter because they made for the perfect fuel. It's not a J-style rocket stove but I hope this will work for the BB. If not, at least I have this cool little stove to cook on now.

I also made a wonderbag for my haybox cooker. I made a post about it here.

The stove heated up the water and rice so quickly and once it boiled I still had some wood burning and I let it continue until it burned out so I wasn't wasting any. After I put the rice in the wonderbag I went bag to this thread to make sure I had taken pictures of everything I needed to have pictures of and realized I was supposed to take a picture of the uncooked rice going into the haybox cooker so I quickly opened it up to get a picture and was surprised to find that it was already almost cooked because it was so hot. I stirred the rice around and found that there was still some water on the bottom so hopefully you can tell that it still wasn't done cooking even though it looked pretty close. The rice had been in the wonderbag for about 10 minutes by the time I got the picture of the partially cooked rice and then I left it in the wonderbag for another half hour to make sure it finished cooking. It came out perfect.
