Tip on rice. You can save a lot of fuel if you cook your rice this way. Bring rice and water to a boil. (1 part rice 1.5 or 2 part water) cover and remove from heat. 15 minutes you should have your rice fully cooked and ready. Try it as it would double your fuel. Awesome video as always.
This is how I cook rice!
This is also how I cook rice! Works for pasta, spaghetti also. Saves so much fuel/energy.
I am NOT a doctor but A Post above said that by using this method you do not cook out all the arsenic in the rice: meaning you must rinse the raw rice more before cooking.
For occasional rice eaters it’s likely just fine but a daily rice eater would suffer long term problems.
This is literally the instructions on the box of rice, if you're not cooking rice this way, you're cooking your rice the wrong way.
@@DMAneoth A paper, published on October 29, 2020, in Science of the Total Environment shows that cooking rice in a certain way removes over 50 percent of the naturally occurring arsenic in brown rice, and 74 percent in white rice. Importantly, this new method does not reduce micronutrients in the rice.
This new study tested different ways to cook rice to try and reduce the arsenic content and the team from the Institute for Sustainable Food found that by using a home-friendly way of cooking rice, the ‘parboiling with absorption method’ (PBA), most of the arsenic was removed, while keeping most nutrients in the cooked rice.
The PBA method involves parboiling the rice in pre-boiled water for five minutes before draining and refreshing the water, then cooking it on a lower heat to absorb all the water.
My answer to the question - as much as it takes. My home's only heat source is a freestanding wood stove, and I have lots of woods on my property. 7 months a year, i could cook 50lbs of rice for nothing, as a byproduct of heating my house. In the back yard, I am planning a masonry rocket stove. I do not figure propane or solar into my preparedness plans. I have a spring to drink and a creek for water to flush. I have set things up so I can live mostly comfortably without electricity.
As always, great info, AP! Thank you for doing what you do!
Us too..same..
Very nice. Lucky and blessed to have a spring on property. Keep up the good work!
My dream!
If you are using a chain saw, I guess you have stocked up on all parts. Or are you a lumberjack too. That would be awesome.
@@kathymc234 haha i'm no lumberjack. yes, i have a pretty good stock of parts and multiple saws. also, i have a couple old crosscut saws and several axes to use if gasoline becomes unavailable.
Bro. I’ve stocking up on stiff like this for yrs camp stoves of all sizes. Butane to propane to alcohol. Keep it up. Folks need this info. God bless 😉
Same here, I hit Craigslist up like crazy to buy Coleman Lanterns and Stoves.
I am a big fan of the camp fuel, not propane.
How long will the fuel keep for
Indefinitely as long as the can isn’t compromised. I think 🤔
Holly: I'm diversified. Buy a solar oven! Fuel is free if there is sun. Breakfasts should be quicker. Then you move on to cooking lunch and dinner. I have 2 so I can be making bread or whatever in the the second. Remember shorter days in the winter. After dark you'll need to be heating not cooking. Use boiling water and make regular oatmeal in wide mouth (easier to clean) thermoses you prep before sundown to eat in the morning darkness. Then you eat dinner by sundown. We tent camp near freezing and it's nice to have a hot beverage in the morning, sugar free hot cider, or hot cocoa or bouillon. Or on long winter evenings.
Also think about your dry foods! I'd use my propane to can dry beans. I like wide mouth jars(again easier to clean), lids, keep buying. I managed to buy a lot of canned beans at local kroger/smiths case sale in August. Canning lids are so hard to come by! Canned kidney beans pre pandemic at Wal-Mart were 77 cents. Those by the case beans were 47 cents a can and I conserved lids.
Somewhere a company said just empty tins cans were going to be around triple that. I buy hard white wheat packaged at cost from a church and on Jan 1 new prices, and online it says the in store price had gone up over 79%! I'm gobsmacked.
That's one heck of a leap
I've used my solar oven countless times for rice (mostly white), put a little oil in it so it won't stick and easy clean. I over fill with water and then drain of excess (arsenic content) when done. The oven was a investment $$$ (11 years ago) but I think it's paid for it's self many times over.
"Call on the Lord in the day of trouble,
and He will deliver you.'

@Genthetics So do I 🙂.

I have a propane heater and stove, a butane single burner stove with cans of butane that fit in it, and small butane tanks and larger ones. I keep charcoal in a trash can and cast iron dutch ovens and skillets with lids that I can cock using charcoal. I have bricks to make a rocket stove. I can cook.
How long will a butane can last in your single burner?
@@stellalongmire4962 In MY case, I can cook about 10 Meals for Two People on 1 Butane Canister
Buy a Kelly kettle, they can boil water and cook a saucepan at the same time and only use twigs for fuel
Kelly kettles are great
Do some thermal cooking to save fuel. You can use a Thermos, an Aladdin thermal cooker from Walmart, a Wonderbag, or a hay box. The concept is that you bring your food to a boil, put it in an insulated space and leave it. When I’m van camping an 8 ounce propane can for my Gas One stove lasts me a week. I make my oatmeal that way, my coffee, and my dinners are made from home canned meat and beans which just have to be warmed up and put in a tortilla. I waterbath canned huckleberry jam in a campground in Wyoming last fall using my Gas One. PS, Gas One butane is even cheaper by the case on Amazon than it is in any store.
Yes! It always surprises me that there isn’t more about the hay box method in prepping channels. A ‘modern’ version can be made using a thick cardboard box and polystyrene (not polystyrene nuggets, but the sheets that come in things like computer packaging).
With a right pot you can shut down heat earlier and it will cook perfect!
Yep, or build a haybox and just bring to a boil, then let the insulation help cook the meal.
Ohhhh, I remember cold MREs! Hot chow was ALWAYS a morale booseter
I’ve always had sterno ovens for power outages, not sure it’s the best option but one I’m comfortable with.
eating rice you need to cook 3 cups raw grain producing 9 cooked cups of food devided into 4 meals eaten thru the day.
dont forget..you will be working.
We've cooked our rice on a fire pit and popped pop corn on a fire pit. We have cooked many of our foods on a fire pit.
A fuel-efficient way to cook raw rice, wheat grain or pre-soaked dried beans is to use a thermal cooker such as a Saratoga Jacks cooker. You bring the food to a boil in the thermal cooker's pot, then remove the pot from heat, cover with the pot lid, lock the pot inside the insulated thermal cooker and just wait as the food slowly cooks with the retained heat. It is kind of like using a slow cooker. The Saratoga Jacks cooker has two pots inside so you could cook a pot of grain and a pot of beans at the same time. The only fuel you use with a thermal cooker is the amount it takes to bring the pot of food and water to a boil.
Another slow cooking method and one that uses zero combustible fuel is the solar oven. A good quality solar oven such as the Sun Oven comes with reflecting panels to concentrate the solar energy and the oven can be tilted for best focus on the sun. The solar oven will need to be repositioned every 30 minutes or so to keep it focused on the sun. Expect a loaf of bread or a casserole to take 2-4 hours to cook in a solar oven.
Chafing dishes use either 2 hour or 6 hour canned fuel. They can also use tea lights. I have a 7 quart soup chafer that got so hot from 1 can of fuel that the water in the lower chamber boiled over. Could definitely cook with this. Plenty of fuel left over. Good option for a family.
That’s what we have! Got a case from Sams club and a foldable stove for it for cheap
Instapot with a capable solar generator is also a great option.
I added a instapot to my preps. Takes about 20 minutes to cook 4 cups of rice. If needed I can run it off my generator.
I need to get one of those
@@mongo1243 I bought 2 of those,,VERY happy with them
We have the Yedi brand instant pot & the Gevi air fryer/convection oven/toaster - both work Awesome, minimal amout of time to cook, fairly easy clean-up. Definitely good investment, imo.
Thank you Alaskan prepare. I am an elder and by myself. I have many survival things because I camped in the past and have been through fire earthquake more than I could say. So I like to be prepared. If you have any suggestions for an elders that would be great. Thanks for your assistance in all the preparation.
Great video, and an eye opener. I have great success with cooking rice in my large thermos. I heat the appropriate amounts of rice and water just until boiling, pour it all into the thermos and cap it. Lie it on it's side for 8 hours, rolling it occasionally.
That’s why I’m buying organic heirloom open pollinated survival seeds on Etsy
I’m not an expert but another prepper says you should probably have normal/hybrid seeds as well (i think that is gmo) for the reason you may have a plot of land that is susceptible to bugs and pests that can wipe out your crop but if that happens and you have gmo seeds you can try those and probably have better luck.
@@hairybelly9910 I heard that somewhere too recently, bit don't remember where. I was glad to hear it though because that's what I do, and have done for years. I find the heirlooms are sometimes pickier about growing conditions, and sometimes the hybrids do better.
Have both heirloom and hybrid seeds. They both have a purpose - hybrids are built to withstand many things....heirlooms can give you seeds for the next planting seasons. Plant them far apart from each other so that they don't cross-pollinate.
Glad someone talked about this. I see a lot of people talking about stocking food but not enough about fuels. Solar cookers are a great way to save on fuel. I have the go sun and love it. AMBATITAN can save you some money if your buying one. Stock up on different ways to cook
You can save a LOT of fuel by prepping and cooking the rice, lightly rise the rice, then dehydrate or freeze dry the rice, and make it into long term storage instant rice. Store it as usual for long term. Then you cook it 1:1 water to rice for 5 minutes, shut off heat, cover and let stand for 2 minutes, rather than using fuel for 20 minutes.
Would you vacuum seal the rice after dehydrating it?
This is actually one of your better videos. It’s a hole in many prep stores
A small sterno can works great in the rocket stove.
I think if people precooked their rice, beans, ect, then dehydrated it...that would save a lot of fuel too! Remember to rinse your rice at least 6 times before cooking. I heard it has high levels of arsenic in it.
Not accurate. Arsenic levels nowadays are regulated as safe enough for babies..
@@gymgirllja not strictly true, I’m afraid. The 🇬🇧Food Safety Agency recommends, for example, that rice milk is not given to the under 5s. Most recommendations suggest pregnant women also avoid rice; children over 5 only have rice twice a week and adults 4 times a week. There is also a lot of guidance about the type of rice, the place it was grown, and how it should be cooked in order to reduce arsenic consumption.
This report seems to be fairly typical. www.consumerreports.org/content/cro/en/consumer-reports-magazine/z2015/January/arsenicInYourRiceTheLatest.print.html
@@missworm Thank you for your input :-). Is there anyone Chinese, or Japanese, or anyone of any Heritage whom daily subsists mainly on rice on here who can comment on this? Some cultures live mostly on rice every single day.
I do not mean to be rude or disrespectful with my question, I just do not think the 'arsenic-in-rice' is much of an issue.
God Bless Us All
@@igitahimsa5871 I’ve wondered the same and it seems to be down to where it’s grown. From what I’ve read (and I’ve tried to stay to scientific papers rather than ‘my mate Dave on Facebook says’), arsenic IS causing skin problems and cancers in parts of Pakistan and also Bangladesh. Rice grown in America on old cotton fields is also supposedly highly contaminated. Having looked at the packets of rice in my own cupboard🇬🇧,they state ‘product of more than one country’ or ‘milled from an imported product’. The very expensive small packs of rice are starting to contain more details of origin (probably more due to snobbery than arsenic concerns), but the big, cheap packets are probably pot luck as far as origin is concerned.
One British study also included ‘crisped rice products’ (cereal I would imagine) that included high levels of inorganic arsenic. That study also found big differences in the way white/non-white people washed and cooked rice, which reduced the amount of inorganic arsenic found in the cooked rice.
It seems that the Japanese eat a slightly different variety of rice; I can’t imagine they import it from Bangladesh but I have no idea where it’s grown.
Bangladesh, in particular, has dreadful,pollution levels as well as naturally occurring arsenic, so that must add to their arsenic problems anyway.
As for rice and prepping - a lot of Preppers seem to rely on rice for long term shtf scenarios. Presumably water and fuel would be in much shorter supply, so it would make all the rinsing and ‘longer cooking in more water’ harder. Idk what you could use the rinse water for; not washing and you can’t even water plants with it because you’d potentially just be contaminating your crops with arsenic.
I’d be interested to know what your rice says for country of origin etc. Is it easier for you, as a consumer, to know where your rice was grown?
@@missworm Yes, I am pretty particular about my food origins, as long as I am able to be. The rice I use is grown in California, USA. Brand is Lundberg. It's an Organic Brown Basmati.
I do have White Basmati and Wild Rice (Also USA) in my food storage, but I am far more of a potato person than rice.
Asian markets are the best place to get the can of butane just got 4 cans for $7
My house is heated with propane, which has doubled in price this year! So, I bought a Mr. Heater portable buddy, hook it up to a bbq tank and it lasts days, preventing my main furnace from turning on, we are in a cold snap, went to store to refill two tanks, all stores out of propane! Luckily I found one, wow, how times have changed! For some reason, bbq tanks have not risen in price. I know, just wait for it Norm, just wait! Coleman 1 lb tanks are $5 here in Chicago land. bbq tank 17
I know not to long ago I paid not quite 12.00 for 4 of the 1 lb propane bottles.
Just got my first jetboil and some cannisters, pretty excited! Since I have a camper, I have 4 - 30lb propane bottles always ready. It also has 400w solar and 3000w inverter and a couple batteries. Not ready by any means, but have some options. Just picked up an ecoflow 1300 as well. Slowly but surely. I just wanted to also say thank you for your service, I was hog weapons there in Bagram in 2002 when things were a bit sketchy.
Thank you for your service@happy your back home sir .
Thank you for your service :-).
God Bless
Do your own fuel research. Each of the mentioned fuels have their own characteristics. It's the energy output per container that speaks to fuel efficiency. Cold and elevation also impacts fuel energy output. Forget a 5lb LP bottle & cover for $100.00 when a 20lb bottle is less than $50.00 at a tank exchange site. Just my .02
Dear God, please watch over the audits, let the truth come out, and justice prevail, in Jesus name!

I have some 10+ years old butane canisters sitting in my kitchen. They are still doing fine. I always buy a bunch or two when they are on sale. Surprisingly they are all 227g each, made in Korea. They run about 4 for $6.00 regular or 4 for $4.00 in summer sales. I have butane stove and butane heater for emergency use. Get them from Asian grocery stores, cheaper and always available.
Hello there. First off let me say how much we enjoy your channel. I’m a native of Alaska. I was born there 53 years ago. If you go on Wish, you can get an adapter to fill your little green propane bottles from a 20 pound propane tank or even a 100 pound propane tank. Propane here in Arkansas is 169 a pound. I think it’s closer to 189 a pound in some parts of Missouri. You will save so much money! 🤩
Another great video Rudy. WE APPRECIATE THEM AND ARE HERE FOR THEM. 👍🏻👊🏻🇺🇸
Thank you for your service. From a military mom. ⚓️🇺🇸⚓️
yeah i read all the time where folks say "i got a generator and five or ten gallons of gas, i'm ready for the storm" yeah for less than a week dude. so i always tell folks to search out first hand accounts of those who have survived bad storms to help them understand what will be needed for an extended power outage. that's how i got woke up myself. thanks for bringin it up so folks can kinda get their head wrapped around just how much "fuel" they will need to just live much less thrive after a major disaster.
@Scott and Debra Nelson 100% agree. God Bless Us All
Alaska Prepper, another great video, thanks. Before you purchase an EcoZoom rocket stove watch some videos on RUclips about both models. The one shown in this video is the EcoZoom Versa, which has two doors (one for wood and the lower door for getting more air in under the fire, and to empty ash). The Versa model can use either wood or charcoal for fuel. The other model is the EcoZoom Dura which only uses wood and has only one door on the front where you load wood into the stove. Like all Rocket stoves the EcoZoom is for outdoor use only and when in use gets very hot. I’m only using cast iron pots and pans with mine because I think the high heat would soon destroy my regular kitchen cookware. You only need a few twigs or small branches to cook a meal with EcoZoom, and it makes very little smoke and ash. It’s portable.
I've got a butane stove and have stocked up on the canisters. Also have a propane cooker like a turkey fryer but taller and with 3 burners. It's great. Then I have a wood burning cooker made of tire rims. I like it too. Hopefully I'm covered.
That’s what we have
I've stocked up on most of the same devices and fuel that your showing and am also a fan of keeping a sterno can under my 3 quart enamel cast iron Dutchie which allows me to keep any beverage warm in a cold weather scenario, sooo nice.
This was awesome Rudy and the woodstove is always a good place for cooking
GREAT JOB posting this video, Rudy!!!!!
I have TWO of the little Butane Stoves and 103 Fuel Cans for them. Its just the wife and me, but this gives us TWO YEARS of Hot Meals if the Grid Fails!
What useful information! Thanks, Rudy!
I cook rice for 5 minutes after boiling, then shut the heat underneath it off and let the rice stand for about 15 minutes to finish the cooking process.
I want to thank you for INTRODUCING me to the UCO CANDLELIER!
I have a pressure cooker and a rocket stove the size of a five gallon bucket. I can use just about anything as fuel in it. I can also use a Kelly Kettle. Twigs, pine cones, brush and just about anything will work. The pressure cooker makes cooking anything from rice to a beef roast possible in a fraction of the time. The rocket stove, whether it a large one or something like a kelly kettle makes using fuel like propane or butane obsolete. I do have a propane stove, butane stove and a natural gas stove but I don’t want to rely on those.
That was a fun video. I really enjoyed watching it and it brought a smile. Thanks so much.
I think your idea to try a spirit burner in the rocket stove may work well. The trick is to have the alcohol burner at the correct distance from the bottom of your cook pot. We have been playing with several stainless steel gasifying twig stoves as well as several "hobo stove" designs. Our favorite commercially purchased twig stove came with a grill for meat or fish and a small tray to burn liquid alcohol, solid fuel tablets or gelled alcohol. We can configure the stove to use canned gelled alcohol (chaffing dish fuel) and also a trangia spirit burner. The stove becomes your windscreen so no need to carry a separate component. In all instances, it is about getting the distance from flame tip to the bottom of the cook pot optimized for maximum efficiency. We like this system for a quick cup of hot (no need to deal with hot coals) or if ever we are in a situation where we do not want to have smoke attracting unwanted attention. The bulk of the time, it is FREE FUEL baby !!!
Hey a.p! Thnx for the vid!....you can buy an adapter for that little stove(the pocket rocket) so that you can use a coleman propane canister with it!..cheaper than the other smaller can.....p.s. soak the rice for 10 to 12 hours first
Bruce I have never rinsed rice before cooking but I am reading everywhere to rinse it first. I have not tried soaking it but I’ll bet that soaking does cut down on cooking time, just like it does with dry beans.
This video was a lot of fun to watch! Thank you.
The propane bottles here in Kentucky are $9.45 per 2 bottles...i use them to cook with on my Camping stove, beings that i told the electric company to keep their shoot! It's going to be one year in 3 more months
Great insight, thank you for sharing with us all
Another option for camp stoves is to get a Coleman dual fuel either single burner or the larger 2 burner. If you dig enough you might find a Coleman stove that burns diesel...Check am a z on
Excellent video, I love my jetboil, I have 2 of them. I was marking the side of the can to see how many boils i get. I will do it you way from now on. And I agree have multiple ways to cook.
Hello again!😁 Thank u so much for your service to our country. 🇺🇲 As a NEWBIE, I appreciate being shown this kind of information. I really like seeing the options. LUCRETIA
Our wood cook stove gives us free energy to cook with. Our regular all-house wood stove heats our home, for free. We do the wood harvesting from our property.
Alternate cooking is on our propane stove top and oven -- our oven does not use an electric ignitor, intentionally, so it will run off-grid. Other alternate cooking methods include our rocket stove, our outdoor grill, our fire circle, our little Coleman 2-burner stove.
To cook rice in another method, use a good quality insulated thermos. Simply boil the water and pour into thermos that has the rice. Cap the thermos and let sit overnight, or for 8 hours approx. Rice will be fully cooked. Doing the thermos cooking will also work for beef stew and other soup-like meals.
Good luck for anyone looking for these items...haven't seen the Coleman on the shelves for awhile in West Texas.
I get my little butane cans at the Asian grocery for 12.00 for a 4 pack. Sometimes they have them for 10.00 a 4 pack. Wow propane is high up there. I just had my big tank filled yesterday for 2.99 a lb delivered.
Fuel is key!
FYI the Coleman brand of butane cans for the type of stove you used went down from a full 8 ounces to 7.75 ounces or from 240 grams down to 200 grams but the price is still higher then what I paid before for these that I get at Wal-Mart
Yep costing more for less on everything.
God damn, what a rip off.
@@sonofhibernia8872 would you use your mother's name as a curse word to display discus, than why use the creators in such a blasphemous vile way.
Lord have pity.
Unfortunately shrinkflation , beware its happening more and more
I too have multiple ways to cook, subscribed
have all you are showing, also charcoal, and have plastic tubs of twigs and small branches to keep dry and use in Hobo stove outside on deck when time is right, also a solar cooker
You can convert an old Colman stove to propane with a special adapter They cost 20 dollars
Thank you AP for this info and demonstrating how to use these stoves and taking the time to give an idea how much fuel it will take in your example! Very helpful AP! Thank you!
These are my favorite types of videos. Practical info with a follow up demonstration. Great info AP!
You can fully cook beans by soaking them overnight, use you Stanley Camp Crock (on sale btw) put soaked beans in , add boiling water and seal for 4 hours. You beans will be fully cooked and stayed above the safe cooking zone temps. No credit to me I saw this on another RUclipsr. Surely you can do the same with rice, heat water and put rice in Stanley Crock....
Thank You for your Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lessee... I have a 1 burner and a 2 burner kerosene stove, 100+ gallons of kero stored, 2 of the butane stoves, 2 coleman stoves, 1 has a propane adapter, plus the woodstove. I get my butane cylinders at the local asian market way cheaper than wally world, they are 7 bucks for 4 cylinders. You're right, nothing like hot rats out in the field, when I was in I carried an esbit stove and heat tabs with me at all times
Charcoals shelf lives 1000 years
My Friends
See for me I believe in being uniform as much as possible. So for flashlights, lamps, radios, etc. I try and have them all use the same batteries unless there is a strong reason to do otherwise. Same goes for heat and cooking. I have chosen to gravitate to propane. My tri-fuel generator, although primarily hooked up to my natural gas utility, my fall back is propane. I have the hoses to run my Mr. Buddy heater and Gas One stove with 20LB tanks. I have 180LBS of propane on my property and no other fuel sources to concern myself with.
How do you safely store it? I've never used these.
@@justjoanish As I understand it, propane in 20LB tanks is extremely safe. I store 8 20lb tanks in the space between my shed and the fence behind, so they can safely vent outside. They never get direct sunlight and I loosely place a tarp over them to protect them from the elements. Propane doesn't go bad like gasoline. They are far enough away from a roadway that a vehicle could not plow into them. About the only thing I would have to worry about is a bullet, so perhaps if there was civil unrest they may be an issue. I'll take that chance.
Thank you. That makes sense. It seems the little 1 pound canisters are usually stored in a shed or garage, and the big ones outside, which confused me.
great video for alrenative cooking. love to see that aladin lamp in the backround
This was a really helpful experiment! Thanks AP!
Good video. Tip: PRE-SOAK your rice for 30 mins in water before cooking to save even more fuel.
I’m scared to explode my home
This is really great. Thank you Rudy.
Butane, isobutane, propane, white gas (Coleman), charcoal, wood. Cook & for heat.
Look into liquid fuel (msr) stoves, they will burn most any liquid that is flammable.
Thank you for your service, AP. :)
I stocked up on the 1 lb cylinders. I have the adapter and can refill them from a 20 lb tank.
I'd recommend getting a little kitchen scale so you can wait a full bottle so you have an idea of what to fill the other bottles up to so you're not over filling them
I shot some video being at a local Walmart tonight... got some "great deals" and chuckled saying I'm a "Rudy" @AlaskaPrepper LOL
You can buy a little brass gadget to fill the green one pound tanks from a 20 pound tank.
Don't forget you fire extinguishers... just in case.🤷♀️
Inflation has come and ruined prepping efforts for the time being for me. What I have I will take stock in and cherish and guard each item because prices will never go back down. The presedence has been set. I have a speeadsheet containg each items purchase date, retailer price and date purchased with best by date where applicable. I have multiple cooking options to choose from here too.
I agree that prices will never go back down. That said, are you still able to afford any extra food preps? I understand inflation destroying people's abilities to prep, but if you can swing a bag of beans here and there, you wont regret it later.
Thank you for your service :-). God Bless
If you need a cheap rocket stove buy a chimney starter, they're only $10-15 at the hardware store. Then to make it a rocket stove just drill some holes on the side near the top.
Woodstove works for cooking and heating
Hi AP, This was a great video! Thank you for doing the demo and the math, it's one of the things which makes a huge difference in organizing one's food storage. God Bless you and yours :-)
I much prefer a white gas dual fuel cook stove from Coleman. I’ve had one for 33 years. It still works perfect and it will run on naphtha (white gas) or gasoline. If one has access to gasoline, one can cook. 2.5 pints of fuel will run. 2 hours on high with both burners going 14,000 BTU.
I only have a new unused Rocket Stove still in a box I bought 7 years ago. Maybe I need to think about butane stove and stock up on butane. I like that cooking set you showed a few days ago.
Start experimenting with the rocket stove too.
Burly, I also have a rocket stove for long term emergency outdoor cooking. However, I purchased a couple of the little Coughlan (not sure how to spell it) indoor stoves for $8 each that use Sterno fuel. I use little cans of Ready Hour brand Sterno fuel - no soot, no smoke, no smell. Perfect backup cooking option for one or two people.
Great thank you.
just thank you for helping other s
Thank you and glad to see the prepper news is back.
Alaska, thanks again for a great (and underrated) video. People are really using this stuff to get by I think. I want your feedback on something I observed several times that is, that Butane is a warm weather fuel. I errored when winter camping a couple of years ago, used my GasOne and had several full bottles of butane, completely worthless until I did my research and learned the mix of butane was good for warmer temperatures only. This lack of performance happened more than once and with different stoves/bottles, and on different occasions. Pure propane on the other hand is good to go until around -40 F. I also learned that the hard way many years ago when our propane froze when out ice fishing. We were in real trouble but obviously I'm here. Both my buddy and I got frostbite but were young and otherwise no worse for the wear. Every Feb 4th we try to call each other and toast our health! Anyway, I wanted to know what your experience was with butane in cold temperatures. I have learned to NEVER trust it as a heat/cooking source unless the temperature or indoor space is above 25-30 F.
What has your experience been?
@Steve That is a GREAT QUESTION :-)! Thank you for asking it! I have always used either propane or wood myself, but have been wondering about butane. Had no idea that Butane was temp sensitive.
God Bless Us All
@@igitahimsa5871 I did a little more research and believe I was on the right track, although I was off a few degrees on the propane. Here's a snippet I found from an Appalachian camping website. In short, I read this as, if you are going to camp in near freezing temperatures, use wood or propane, butane will not help if the canisters cool to near freezing:
"...the pressure inside the canister must be greater than the pressure outside the canister. But as the canister temperature drops below freezing, its internal pressure starts to diminish until this is no longer the case and the burner sputters and goes out.
Why? The primary culprit is butane, which stops vaporizing at 31 degrees Fahrenheit (its boiling point). (Isobutane-a chemical variation of butane-continues vaporizing down to 11 degrees Fahrenheit.)
Butane is the primary component in fuel canisters, typically accounting for 70 to 80 percent of the fuel mixture; propane makes up the remainder. Unlike butane, however, propane continues vaporizing even in very cold temps (down to minus-43 degrees Fahrenheit). This has some interesting implications for cold-weather performance."
Of course this only applies basically to the temperature of the air where you are cooking (outside or inside). So long as the space you're cooking in is warm enough, I'd guess above 40-45F.
Alaska, I never knew about the propane tube addition for the Gas One - THANK YOU! I'll be getting one for certain!
@@steve8189 Thank you Steve, for taking your valuable time to find all this out and post it here for us :-)!
God Bless you and yours
PROPANE TANK AT COSTCO HERE IN VEGAS IS 27.00
We are hoping to use our fire pit. In bad weather we will need the campstove or alternate cooking method.
Presoaking rice, and other foods helps it cook faster as water penetrated into the food transfers heat faster.. the indian pressure cooker helps cook everything faster. and with less energy. Most indians will presoak foods, stuff that is grain can be presprouted / malted to make it cook yet faster. So you should prepare your meals the day before where possible to give it time to soak if energy or time is in short supply. Indian pressure cookers cook much faster and frankly imo taste better than pots.
With the alcohol stove in the Rocket stove, the flame is way to far away to cook anything!
I was thinking the same but maybe put a brick or half brick in and put the stove on top.
I needed this info thank you very much! We already have a few things but needed a variety just in case 😉
You could also use a pressure cooker to cook your rice. It cooks much faster with less energy input. I can use the pressure cooker with any fuel source, indoors or outdoors. That's why I keep my conventional pressure cooker in addition to our new Instant Pot. I also use my pressure cooker to make applesauce. Fill the pan with the apples and a little water, close and bring up to 15 pounds pressure. Then turn off the burner and let the pressure drop. The apples will be fully cooked when you open the pan and ready to put through a strainer (if you left the apple skins on). I can the "extra" juice for sore throats, etc.
Added note: buy a spare pressure cooker gasket, or two, now while they can still be found. They might have to order them though...the last time I wanted one they no longer carried the gasket in the hardware store You can often find the older style Presto pressure cookers in thrift stores. They last forever, mine is 40+ years old and still works perfectly.
You can buy an adapter to refill the small propane cylinders from a large tank, good investment
Anyone who has experience with disposable iso-butane and/or disposable propane canisters knows they are notorious for slowly leaking their contents. These are not suitable for long-term fuel storage.
I have both that have been stored for 5-6 years at least now. Only one 1 lb propane canister had lost its contents when I moved.
And always do a little dab of oil on the rubber o-ring and press it down a couple times
ALL propane cylinders are refillable. There is an attachment you can buy to use a 20 lb tank as a master for refilling the coleman 16oz tank. There are youtube videos that show you how. You have to open the vent valve while filling the 16 oz coleman, Thats it. refills for a dollar.
The Rice Looks Good.
I have a Fondue Pot I am going to Experiment with this weekend. If it works well. I will let you know how it goes and what I cook.
