Assistant Cook
Well, seeing how I'm new to this forum, I thought I would start to share some things that I do that might seem a little strange (and there are quite a few). This is a rocket stove design made from 6" stove pipe, buried in the ground are two 90deg elbows and a short piece between them (because you need a little space between the wood tube and the taller heat riser tube) to keep any flames from ever reaching the meat.
I usually cook on this while I'm working on a piece of land that I have for deer hunting. It's always just me so it's designed for one person only, but I have other designs that use self-feeding/rocket stove technology that will accommodate a small hog.
This particular design burns fairly slowly and produces no smoke at all. The below pics of a turkey thigh cooking where taken during the cook but you can't see any smoke coming out anywhere. The air flow goes down the wood tube and out of the heat riser and burns very cleanly without making the meat black from soot. You can hear a slight roar as it burns, this is why it's called a "rocket" stove.
The pics were taken 30 minutes apart and you can see the sticks getting shorter as they burn and then drop down (hence self-feeding). I cooked a big sweet potato after the thigh was done before the sticks were gone. I never had to touch the sticks as they burned, and they lasted 3 hours.
Anyway, just wanted to share some stuff with you guys/gals, I hope you find it interesting and I hope I put it in the right section.
