I have the earlier version of the same SilverFire Survivor rocket stove. It's an A+ in my book. Bought it specifically for grid-down situations. We're subject to both hurricanes and ice storms here. While I have a castiron box stove in my shop and a fireplace, one of the major advantages is exactly what you mentioned. Sticks! Thumb sized ones are ideal. Pick them up, when cleaning the lawn, break down and store in a dry place. Makes best use of the labor needed to keep the yard clear of dead (seasoned!) tree limbs. Easy to break down for compact dry storage in an outdoor trashcan, plastic tote, etc. I bought mine because I can use it for food canning, both water bath and pressure canning. Added a Coleman camp oven for baking biscuits. Put a toaster oven pizza stone in the Coleman for pizza over the SilverFire. Add a castiron skillet and a single burner griddle to the meal possibilities for this compact stove. Thank you for sharing a viable solution for many folks to have a way to cook, to have a Cup-of-Coffee!!, when storms take down the power lines. (As they did yesterday across large portions of NC when storms rolled through the state.) God Bless.
I would love to see it used for canning! I have worried how canning would be safely done if we had no power. I have never canned on an open fire or cook stove even though it most have been the way it was done in the past.
@@lindakiel9822 Waterbath canning is relatively easy on an open fire or an electric, wood, gas cook stove. For open fire, using a waterbath canner, once the pot (canner) begins to boil, it's not much different than cooking a big pot of soup in a stock pot over a campfire. Depending on the method (hot pack or raw pack) being used for the food, generally the steps are the same as far as getting to the point the canner is filled with jars. Then, it's just a matter of keeping the water at a boil for the required processing time. Again, waterbath is easier because pressure doesn't have to be maintained. That was my concern, when I was considering a SilverFire Survivor for our backup plans. Using few bricks, waterbath canner, food, fire and water does produce safely canned foods, using the guidelines for water bath processing. FWIW.... I've pressure canned since the early 1970's using electric or gas stoves without any material issues. Doesn't take long to learn exactly where to turn the knobs to maintain a correct & steady temperature. Open flame can be a different story. I didn't think I could do pressure canning over an open fire, until I watched John Null do it on his SilverFire. Immediately ordered one, as his video answered my primary question. Since he has several videos on his SilverFire, use the RUclips search feature to search for his channel jnull0 (John Null). On his channel search using the keyword SilverFire. Scroll down and you'll see "Pressure Canning on the SilverFire". (Direct link shortcut: ruclips.net/video/MzRiTCeqVSs/видео.html , if you prefer.) Scroll down the comments for my comment, back then, on not taking the canner off the SilverFire while it was still under pressure. -- Just a tip, in case you decide to get one. Long winded...... Hope this helps. PS: Disclaimer - I don't have any association with SilverFire other than being a satisfied customer. God Bless.
We never had a rocket stove but my mom cooked on the fireplace and latter on we got a wood stove. Nothing I have found taste as good as a wood stove. Plus on days when it was cold but not freezing the stove will keep you plenty warm. It's an art to learn how to cook on a wood stove too. When I was really young she used a Dutch oven over a fire outside to cook. It's just the way she was.
Thanks for the video. I used a home made one first and recently bought one. It's been raining here so much that it's hard to find a dry stick anywhere. Can't wait to cook on it the first time. I did find out that mine fits down inside a five gallon bucket, so it makes carrying it around super easy. Great demonstration...now I need a coffee pot...there's always just "one more thing" when you're trying to get prepared, Haha! Love & prayers y'all!
I like the portability of these stoves. I have instructions for making a rocket stove with cinder blocks, but this would be handier to use & carry with you. Thanks Danny & Wanda! God bless you both! 💕💕
Ms. Wanda... you took me out with that herbal coffee.. bought the doggone coffee pot too!,😁 Thank you for sharing that..I think I am really going to enjoy that this fall
Silver Fire makes great stoves, in many sizes. I collect fallen branches just like you did, as great kindling for my wood stove. Usually, fallen branches are already dead and dried. Thanks for a great vid!
Good morning. I first learned about make shift rocket stoves participating in Girl Scouts. I was hooked. I have never had one as nice as yours, but I do know just how useful they can be. This brings back some great memories. Thank you for sharing this today.
I have one I made of stacked, red bricks and a piece of expanded metal to set my sticks on, and an old iron gas stove eye grate. About 18" high and it's a beast! The Silver Fire works great!
Nice wood stove without all the extra heavy weight .That farberware coffee percolator is stainless it makes a great cup of coffee and why is it coffee always taste great when made outdoors .
Real nice. I own one myself. I live in the north desert of Eastern WA. Have a small ac of land I and clearing my hand. Lots of sage brush. Pretty much all sage brush. Plan is to plant Japaness maples for fuel. once I get my fence up and keep the cows off land. Its fun just to get out and dig in the dirt. I'm having a blast. So quite out in the high north desert. Noting going on over hear at all. I guess I could use sage, but its a poison I do not want anything to do with.
Danny I know you have probably worked hard all of your life and you work hard now but looks like you are enjoying life. I am so ready to retire and enjoy my life.
@@DeepSouthHomestead I would love to come visit with you and Wanda. I have a little over 3 years to work before I can retire. I have been working for a power company for 31 years and I am ready to enjoy life.
Danny and Wanda, if you have any pine trees that drop pine cones, those things are AWESOME fire starters. I use them in my woodstove as the initial kindling. They flare up hot and burn long enough to start your stick kindling. Try it! Dang, that looks like my exact coffee pot, i love that thing, use it all the time on my gas stove.
That is a great Rocket Stove . Yankee Prepper cooked a hole roast on this stove a few years ago in a cast iron pot . Imagine cooking a roast with a few twigs . Just imagine how much money you can save not having to use propane . No need to heat the cabin in hot weather to cook on a wood stove . How do you know when the coffee is ready using a percolator like that . I'm always afraid of over cooking the coffee .
Tommy, you don't have to have a "yard". This stove will work fine on the tailgate of a pickup truck. With reasonable precautions, can be used on a balcony, porch, sidewalk and/or a driveway. You may be able to routinely use it in the park nearest to your home. Definitely in most places where people can camp. With owner's permission, perhaps you can use a nearby vacant lot, for example. Look around you for possibilities. If you're fortunate, they may be closer than you think. Hope that, indeed, is the case for you. God Bless.
One reason I may choose an alcohol-can stove instead is so that in certain types of emergencies I won't have to go outside to gather sticks. Not drawing attention to yourself might be important.
Some nice features but not a match for the thick welded steel plate rocket stove I bought years ago. It is insulated interior so never gets burning hot on the outside. It has welded metal supports on top to keep your pans elevated above flame. There are bar steel welded handles to carry it. Has a separate steel plate to put under your pans if you want to cut down on soot to pan bottoms. Also has a steel insert to fire box so one can use charcoal. I use charcoal I have saved from woodstoves. It has been setting out on a concrete support beside the house for three years in rain, snow, wind, summer and winter exposed to all elements and the only wear is that the steel has gone from shiny to grey. I suspect it will still be going long after the concrete supports have turned to dust. Like yours it cooks as fast as any single burner gas camp stove.
Thank you Danny. I was looking for something like this and was uncertain if it was a good one or not. Seeing how I have been watching your videos for a long time now I was delighted to see you do this video for us. I trust your opinion. I just ordered the Silver fire survivor and the pot and steam basket. I like ms. Wanda coffee pot.. what brand is that?? Thank you again guys ❤️
@@DeepSouthHomestead I got the coffee pot Ms. Wanda.. love it!! I also got the teeccino tea.. love love love it!!! My favorite teeccino right now is Pumpkin spice.. Thanks so very much!!!
Really cool. I've had one on my wish list for a few years now, but was afraid it would be something I'd later regret spending money on. I hope to see you use it more, to help me decide. I'm curious if it's worth the cost. I have lots of small twigs available, so it might be a useful tool to have. You sure made that 'coffee' look good. I wanted a cup! chuckle.
We have an Eco Zoom. The stoves may not be cheap, but look at it this way..........you will never have to buy fuel for it. You can collect it anywhere. So worth the cost.
Any ideas of how it works with the hardwoods we have over here in Australia. Our eucalyptus trees burn incredibly hot and early explorers used pot belly stoves and burnt them out...?
Hi. Do you think it would support a cast iron Dutch oven with food or water in it? Is there a weight limit it would support? I wish you good luck n safety with the Hurricane Ida. I know you n Miss Wanda are securing everything n all the animals safely. How ironic it is coming ashore the same day Katrina did 16yrs ago. Peace to you and yours
The double walled dragon pot is a must have for the stove it also creates a wind skirt will boil a gallon and a half of water in 15 minutes. To dampen down the temperature when it gets too hot I use a solid piece of 3/8 cast-iron it was an IKEA trivet under pans.
In south Mississippi, cooking on a wood stove is limited to a few cold days we have in the winter. It would not be feasible for us. We need to cook outside about 3/4s of the year here.
I get really tired of these videos trying to convince us to by products you are paid to advertise. what a shame you feel you need to sell us these things.
I don't care if you buy one or not. I like the product. A review is just that, my review on if the product does what it is supposed to. NOT trying to sell you one. Just enjoy the video. Thanks

Lol like pancakes taste better cooked outside
This would work nice here in the desert we don’t have a lot of trees but alot of brush that produce twigs.
I love those little stoves
I have the Silver Fire Hunter and the Super Dragon. They are great stoves.
I'm going full Amish on the system. TAKE THAT TAX MAN!!!!
I have one of those and its a great unit..I use it sometime to make coffee in a camp kettle..Very well built..
That is SO awesome!!! I always wondered what a Rocket Stove was. Now I know! How wonderful to have one.... Thanks for sharing.... Love you both!!! XOX
I have the Ecozoom Versa rocket stove and I really like it. Watching from the Gulf Coast of Alabama.

If you coat the bottom of your pot with Ivory soap, it will be easier to get the black soot off, old Girl Scout trick.

Have you seen the wood gas stoves? They have some very small ones that run on twigs or wood pellets.
Nice review. One point: they can be used indoors IN THE FIREPLACE. very little smoke.
I have 2 homemade rocket stoves. I've wanted one of those.
Someone came up with a rocket stove that also makes 'heat generated' electricity. Not sure of the company.
Anna at Four Day Homestead The company is Biolite, the product is Campstove II, and it has several accessories available.

Looks awesome. Definitely something we will be working towards getting. What was the brand of your percolator?
Farber ware.
Impressive! How hot does the little door get? The Teeccino looks interesting too.
I think once I opened it with the stick. So it does get hot. But the fire is in the middle to back of the stove.
Danny or Wanda do you think Silverfire will be at the Gathering in March? I would like to talk to them.
I don't know, we are working on it.
How does a rocket stove compare to a wood gas stove as far as leaving soot on the bottom of the kettle ?
I had only a small amount of soot on the bottom. It didn't smut up the sides.
Where do you get the coffee ?

How bout a wood stove
They’re great, but they’re not portable. Also, in heat of summer, you wouldn’t want to heat whole house with your wood stove.
I enjoy your videos, but that is an expensive Rocket stove..you can make your own very cheap with little effort no need to spend $187..
We have 2 homemade one's. They don't hold a candle to this one.
