Assumptions
- • Average traditional stove: ~3 t wood / yr
- • HRS stove: ~50% fuel reduction → 1.5 t wood saved / stove / yr
- • Combustion cleanliness: 90% reduction in PM2.5 & CO
- • Carbon factor: 3 t eCO₂ offset / stove / yr

Performance Specifications
Data from field measurements across Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Ladakh deployments. All figures measured at steady-state combustion.
Why Rocket Combustion Works
Insulated combustion chamber
The L-shaped firebox concentrates heat at the point of combustion, driving temperatures high enough to achieve near-complete oxidation of wood gases — the primary source of smoke and CO.
Induced natural draft
The chimney effect created by the tall, insulated flue draws a strong, steady air supply through the fuel bed without any mechanical assistance — making startup reliable and combustion self-sustaining.
Small-diameter fuel feed
Only the tip of each piece of wood is burning at any time. This dramatically reduces the rate of fuel consumption versus top-lit or side-stoked fires, while maintaining consistent heat output.
