Assembling Your Hot Ash Stove

How to Assemble Your Hot Ash Rocket Stove

Thanks for choosing the Hot Ash Portable Rocket Stove—crafted in the USA for serious campers, preppers, and outdoor cooks. Built for durability and fuel efficiency, this stove is your go-to gear for everything from backcountry adventures to backyard grilling.

Step 1: Prepare Your Space

Set your stove on flat ground. Use dry sticks under 0.5" thick—straight ones burn better. Clear away leaves or debris to keep your setup safe.

Step 2: Start Your Fire

Insert fuel into the bottom of the combustion chamber only. Keep the center clear for the best airflow and most efficient burn. ⚠️ Do not fill from the top of the chimney.
