Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our stoves, shipping, and how we work. Can’t find what you need? Just ask.

• What is a rocket stove?

  Rocket stove technology uses a vertical, insulated combustion chamber that mixes air and burning gases so effectively that temperatures rise enough for near-complete combustion. That means less smoke and more heat from the same amount of wood. It’s been used around the world in many forms; we’ve adapted it for heating and cooking in Australian and Himalayan contexts.

• What fuel do your stoves use?

  Our stoves are designed to run on small-sized wood or biomass. Some models can use biomass pellets made from waste wood. Dry, well-seasoned wood gives the best results.

• Do you ship across Australia?

  Yes. We offer flat-rate shipping for many products. Exact options and costs are shown on each product page and at checkout.

• Are sales linked to your work overseas?

  Yes. Sales from our Australian products help support the impact work we do in India — including Himalayan Rocket Stove and the Smokeless Cookstove Foundation. So buying from us helps that work continue.

• I have another question.
