If any of you own one of these two, if you could chime in it would help me immensely in my decision.

And the stainless steel version

http://groverrocketstove.com/prices_stove_stainless.html

I have looked at other stoves and even own a couple. I want to diversify my prepping. I'm bugging in and not worried about the weight of these two stoves. I have tons of wood available and the beauty of these two stoves, is they don't require a lot of wood for them to work. They are both built like a tank and that is what I wanted something that will last a long time. If things get bad, I plan on just taking it out in the rocks surrounding my house and cooking. I appreciate your comments.

Both look pretty stout and well made.

I just can not see the point to them. A simple metal tire rim with a piece of expanded metal, or rack from a refrigerator to put over it, would accomplish the same thing for virtually free. You mention you have no wood shortage so it is not like that is a issue.

My X could probably cook on a rocket stove, she ran the propane cook top or electric range wide open, full blast for everything. I prefer to cook more on a simmer setting. I have a fare sized wood stove in my house. Flat top, glass inset in big door, and brick lined. Many a meal in the dutch ovens or covered cast iron skillet cook on the stove. I don't like to use the cast iron griddles on it due to stinking spatters.

Have you looked at the like 9 brick rocket stove, very cheap and you can leave it set up outside forever.

 

[libertyforall]

Thanks for your comments thus far. I would tend to shy away from a tire rim stove because it doesn't have the draw that the 9 brick stove would have. Both of these stoves get a draw through a small chimney like structure. Either one I could throw in the bed of my pickup and go fishing or camping at a remote site. I will keep searching for reviews of the two compared. I thank you for your responses. The 9 brick, like I've seen before does have real merit however if you don't want to lug around bricks.

You have a good train of thought here!
This is an option for you, yet I have not used it so just a heads up:

My personal bug in cooker is a BGE. But it's pricey!!!

I can do what you are trying to achieve and more with the covered option.
Yet what you are looking at uses fuel more efficiently. best of luck and chime in when you decide how it works out for you.

stainless

if you see yourself using drift wood from the beach go for stainless in driftwood there a lot of corrosive salts etc.

 

[elliott264]

Just going by the info on the websites I'd pick the Grover.

The Deadwood will get the job done for sure though.

But...just for a fun:

Deadwood = Chevy.

Grover = Cadillac

I like Cadillacs :thumb:

 

[badlands]

I like the EcoZoom stove but it looks like to many screws to come loose and to many moving parts to fail, the simplicity of both the Grover and Deadwood stoves appeal to me. Less moving parts equals less to go wrong. In a SHTF world sometimes less is more! :thumb:

I agree the Grover is a Cadillac and the Deadwood is a Chevy but the Grover also costs quite a bit more than the Deadwood. The Deadwood gets the same job done for less money out of pocket so it would be the better choice for me.

 

[goose3]

I kind of like the Deadwood--it sits on that stand higher than you'd have with the others (though you could put them on a bench or table I suppose).

 

[Demented Guy]

I didnt see much difference so I would go with the cheapest. Unless ypu want stainless.

 

[davin]

i looked at the silver fire rocket stove and looks interesting and a decent video.
many choice's out there.

no thanks, in a SHTF situation fuel may be hard to find, but twigs will always be plentiful unless a nuclear detonation incinerates everything

None Of The Above And Why

Consider instead the inside certified wood burning heating stove that can also do triple duty with heating, cooking and with a boiler heat exchanger, hot water that can be plumbed into the existing indoor hot water plumbing.

You might be more happy with the stove inside. I do not know if that is possible/safe/legal with your preselected models. Also do not know if the models you have pictured are certified legal for inside use. HB of CJ(old coot)

However, installing a dedicated wood burning heating, cooking and hot water stove is not a $cheap$ thing to do. A home owner can do so and I did mine, but expect to spend some money and be sure to do it correctly and to code.

 

[castroyyy]

I like that Deadwood stove. No real experience with either but now you have me looking at them!!! Dang it.
