![]() I really like that very little fuel is needed to cook a meal, and the stove is very efficient in burning the fuel, leaving very little ash and very little smoke when you are cooking. I personally like the “Survivor” model sent to me for testing, and it would be my first choice from all their different products for use in a SHTF scenario. As mentioned, Silver Fire makes several different types of cook stoves, so check them all out before deciding which model is best for your needs. Please take the time to watch them they are educational and very useful. Also, there are several videos on the website. You can go to their website and read it all for yourselves. There is a lot of technical information on the Silver Fire website, and I won’t bore readers with it. (Some other stoves come with NO instructions at all, and you are left on your own to figure out how to best utilize the stove.) Complete instructions come with each stove. They are easy enough to install with a screw driver. The “Survivor” rocket stove also comes with two carry handles, which you must attach once you unpack the stove. Neat! Just keep in mind that this stove operates best with the fuel door closed! This gauge lets you know the size of wood that is best inserted and burned in the stove. There is also a fuel “gauge” on the front of the black fuel door. Yes, there is a feed “ramp” that attaches to the front of the stove, and you can keep your fuel loaded on it and ready to slide it in, as it is needed. Unlike other rocket stoves, this one is designed to operate with the fuel door closed. The rectangle shape combustion chamber allows for uniform insertion of a wide variety of fuel, and the stove’s door improves efficiency in burning the biomass or wood fuel. I like that this rocket stove only weighs 12.5 pounds– about half of what other commercially made rocket stoves weigh. With the new designs incorporated into the “Survivor” rocket stove, in an emergency, very little fuel is required to bring a large volume of water to a boil or cook a pot of food. Some rocket stoves are heavy, real heavy. The insulation isn’t clay, as is found in many commercially manufactured rocket stoves instead, fiber insulation is used to reduce the weight. The round stove is covered with a polished stainless steel body, and the cook top is cast iron, with five spacers on the top, so your pot or pan will sit nicely and evenly distribute heat. When you take the “Survivor” rocket stove out of the box, you will immediately notice the fine workmanship. The man has every confidence in his products! A very brave statement and challenge to be sure. He challenges anyone to compare his line of rocket stoves to any other brand and draw your own conclusions. His stoves are designed for improved durability and efficiency, too. Silver Fire cook stoves require minimum fuel and produce little emissions or smoke. He was the former founder of StoveTec rocket stoves, and (for reasons that I won’t go into) left StoveTec and worked to refine his rocket stove idea into a high-quality rocket cook stove. Just a short note about Albi is in order. The quality, manufacture, and materials used in this stove is the best of the best. I’m here to tell you, right off the bat, if the “Survivor” model is any indication of the outstanding quality of the rest of their stoves, I’m totally blown away. Silver Fire’s founder, Todd Albi, provided me with their Silver Fire “Survivor” rocket stove model for testing, for SurvivalBlog readers. ![]() Today we are looking at thh Silver Fire line of stoves. Sure, lots of foods can be eaten cold, but that’s no fun, to be sure. When this happens, you have to kick into a survival mindset and figure out a way to cook your meals. The power could be out, your gas line broke, or the gas cut off for whatever reason. However, in a SHTF scenario, we might not have access to our kitchen stove. Cooking a meal on your stove in your kitchen is the way to go. ![]() Now, while you can cook your food a number of different ways, some methods of cooking are easier than others. I’ve made a few “hobo” stoves in the past this is a really poor man’s rocket stove of sorts. ![]() I reviewed a rocket stove, and was impressed with how easy it was to cook on. I’ve reviewed several different types of small, compact camp stoves that easily fold up and fit inside your bug out bag (BOB). We can go a long time without food, but let’s be honest, we’d rather have a good hot meal to eat. Also, you have to have some type of food to feed your calorie-burning body. I’ve stressed, in previous articles, the importance of having safe drinking water for your survival. ![]()
