In order to reduce our energy use another few notches we needed to pay attention to the outdoor kitchen and improving the efficiency of our cooking tools. We decided that a rocket stove was needed because they only use a handful of sticks to boil the kettle or cook dinner. But most rocket stoves we've seen seem technically too sophisticated for our skillset. Then we found a simple brick stove design online, one that isn't fixed and can be moved around. We knew making a fixed version and doubling the cooking capacity was within our skillset and we jumped in this week. This stove doesn't just reduce our energy use but cuts down on our labour of cutting, hauling and storing firewood. The intention is that the outdoor kitchen be used for 4-5 months of the year and potentially reduce our firewood use by a third. We hope we've shown you enough to be able to follow this design, or at least have given you some inspiration to develop your own design. We are so grateful to our neighbour Adrian for gifting us bricks, and we're grateful to Kristin Rule for gifting us the use of her incredible music.
