The rocket stove at Rancho Mastatal
An adobe rocket stove cooks many of the meals at Rancho Mastatal . The rocket stove was built using the justa stove design. Rocket stoves are improved cookstoves that usually use fuel more efficiently and produce less emissions than a three stone cooking fire .
Wood is inserted into the chambers on the side of the stove. The flames rise through a chimney, and the heat escapes through the top opening, where it can be used to cook food.
