EcoZoom Versa Rocket Stove: Review

The EcoZoom Versa is a rocket stove, which in it’s most basic form is an L-shaped burning chamber that allows you to feed wood into the bottom and cook over a flame on top. It’s a very efficient style because your pushing the wood straight into a coal bed. The only place the flame can go is straight up a narrow column directly to the bottom of your pan. Because it is so efficient you are able to cook with very small amounts of wood. Pine cones and sticks will get your water boiling in a surprisingly short time.

The EcoZoom Versa has created a near perfect rocket stove. The first thing noticeable improvement is a three pronged cast iron top that is clearly going to last a long time. The exact shape of the prongs are clever too, because it will accommodate literally any size of pot. The next thing they’ve done is insulated the combustion chamber so the stove stays cool to the touch on the outside. This is a feat in itself, because rocket stoves generate a lot of heat. The handles are also covered with silicone so it’s comfortable to move around. Lastly, there are actually two doors – one to feed wood, and one below it that acts as an air draw. All of this together makes the EcoZoom Versa an impressive and efficient rocket stove.
