Subject: Obvious extension: Boat-Oriented Rocket Stoves...

Well, given all the thoughts about cooking and heat fuel, I have been reading up and thinking about rocket stoves for use on a boat. There seems to be a ton of good information out there about basic and large scale (home and shop sized) rocket stoves, and mostly in a horizontal feel geometry. Most of my initial considerations about constructing one for marine use has to do with size, and safety.

Basic stoves available commercially like the Sardine and Tiny Tot seem great, but one might as well strive for the greater efficiency and building economy of rocket stoves. (Or not?)

The size issue seems easy enough, but materials are a consideration... making a smaller box with the same standard fire bricks yields vanishing size returns at "boat sizes". I was thinking maybe something more like sheet metal and cement board? Thoughts?

The other thing is safety, and/or the ability to cook and heat while underway with a solid fuel stove. For this, it seems that a downdraft, vertical feed version (the "J Stove") would be superior. But again, how do the dimensions scale at small sizes? Can one take the normal sized plans and simply scale it down linearly to get the right footprint? I don't know, but it seems unlikely...

Anyhow, I'll really want is discussion I guess. So I can learn and plan more.
