I started the lorena cooktop next to the red cabin and cooked oatmeal.

This BB requires you to start a rocket cooktop and cook something on it. You are not required to build your own rocket cooktop but you will need access to one.

Minimum requirement:
 - as in the Food Prep and Preservation aspect, no aluminum or teflon/coated cookware or plastic touching the food (including bowls and utensils) is allowed
 - a rocket cooktop uses a J tube or batch box to heat a permanent, intentional cooking surface
      - the top of a 55 gallon barrel isn't good enough
 - exhaust gasses are contained and exit via a chimney

To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide:
  - 5 pictures
       o pic of starting materials before fire
       o pic of fire started
       o pic of additional wood added
       o pic of uncooked food on the rocket cooktop
       o pic of cooked food coming out

The power went out at WL so I made dinner on the rocket cook top in the summer kitchen by the red cabin. (Power is back on)

Here's my submission for cooking something on a rocket stove.

Note:  my wife and I have been SEPPers this week at Allerton Abbey, and have been cooking on this rocket stove the whole time, but I didn't know there was a BB for doing so, until Thursday & consequently didn't take the required pictures of the prep or process before. It's a bit tedious to document, especially when you're hungry and just want to get food in your belly, but here's at least enough of the breakfast beginning to qualify for the BB.

Minimum requirement:
- as in the Food Prep and Preservation aspect, no aluminum or teflon/coated cookware or plastic touching the food (including bowls and utensils) is allowed


- a rocket cooktop uses a J tube or batch box to heat a permanent, intentional cooking surface
     - the top of a 55 gallon barrel isn't good enough
- exhaust gasses are contained and exit via a chimney

To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide:
 - 5 pictures
      o pic of starting materials before fire



      o pic of fire started



      o pic of additional wood added
I didn't need extra firewood for the bacon, but it was useful for the rest of the meal, shown down below...
      o pic of uncooked food on the rocket cooktop
(My wife says one should add water to the skillet for more even cooking, to boil before frying, then after the water boils off the frying will nicely finish the process...)

Yeah, but how did the squirrel get in there? Was it because of the tiny ad?
