Rocket Stoves are pretty neat. Common among campers and backpacking enthusiasts, rocket stoves are relatively new to urban dwellers or those that do not spend a lot of time outdoors.

Not to make light of the situation, five years ago I had no idea what a rocket stove was nor did I know how they worked.
