What you need to know

Der Petromax Raketenofen ist die kompakte Hochleistungs-Kochstelle für autarkes Kochen im Freien. Mit Ästen, Zweigen oder Tannenzapfen befeuert, erzeugt er intensive Hitze in kürzester Zeit.

Description

The Petromax Rocket Stove is the compact high-performance cooking station for your independent outdoor adventure. Powered by branches, twigs, or pine cones, it generates strong heat in no time and is ideal for frying, cooking, or warming up – all without electricity or gas.

The L-shaped design creates the typical chimney effect: air flows into the combustion chamber, is heated by the fire, and rises upwards. The resulting vacuum continuously draws in fresh air, ensuring effective and low-residue combustion of the fuel. This optimizes heat use, and wood, branches, or cones burn almost without residue – for maximum energy output with minimal effort.

The cast iron cooking surface stores heat and distributes it evenly to your cookware. This keeps food juicy and cooks it evenly while maintaining a consistently high temperature.

After use, it can be easily transported thanks to the sturdy handles and stored in a space-saving way.

The ash pan allows you to easily place fuel and add more as needed. The combustion chamber door can be fully opened to safely ignite the fire and regulate airflow. With its compact design, solid construction, and effective heat generation, the Petromax Rocket Stove is the ideal choice for anyone who values performance, efficiency, and independence when cooking outdoors.

Rocket Stove rf33 - your independent companion everywhere

Why choose between comfort and wilderness when you can have both? Our video shows the Petromax Rocket Stove rf33 in its element: a short trip to the lake, and the outdoor kitchen is ready. Thanks to the brilliant chimney effect, just a few gathered sticks are enough to create intense heat.

Self-sufficient cooking without electricity or gas

The Petromax Rocket Stove allows you to cook outdoors without any electricity or gas. Using natural fuels like branches, twigs, or pine cones, it quickly reaches high temperatures and is ready to use right away – perfect for camping, the garden, or adventures in nature.

Burning due to chimney effect

The L-shaped design creates the typical chimney effect, drawing fresh air into the combustion chamber and ensuring complete combustion. This way, every piece of wood is used optimally, and you benefit from maximum heat with minimal fuel consumption.

Cast iron cooking surface for even heat distribution

The solid cast iron cooking surface stores the generated heat and distributes it evenly to your cookware. This way, roasts, stews, or fresh coffee turn out perfectly every time – with consistently high temperature and perfect cooking results.

Frequently asked questions

Which pans and pots are best suited for the rocket stove?

The rocket stove is made for quick use. Thanks to the chimney effect, it develops a very strong and concentrated heat, so cookware such as the wrought iron pan, which absorbs temperatures quickly, is an ideal basis for cooking use.

But a hearty stew from the cast-iron Dutch oven or baked beans, fried potatoes and other pan-fried dishes from the fire or forge pan can also be ideally prepared or heated on the rocket stove. You can boil up invigorating hot drinks such as coffee or tea with the Petromax percolators on the rocket stove.

Which Dutch Oven size is suitable for the rocket stove?

The rocket stove has a space-saving cast iron support surface. As cast iron distributes heat optimally, even larger fire pots or pans can be placed on the rocket stove. However, the larger the cookware, the more it will protrude at the sides. Therefore, make sure that the rocket stove is always placed on a level surface and that there are no children or animals in the vicinity.

The optimum size is a Dutch oven from ft3 to ft9 and pans up to 30 cm in diameter. However, an ft12 or a 40 cm pan can also be heated properly, it just takes a little longer for the temperature to spread. It is also essential that the cookware is positioned centrally and cannot tip over. Due to the selective heating, it is advisable to stir your food more often!

What are the advantages of a rocket stove?

The insulated stove housing is double-walled and makes the Petromax rocket stove resilient. You can easily use Petromax Dutch ovens and cast-iron and wrought-iron pans for cooking and roasting (attention: minimum base diameter 12 cm). The rocket stove proves to be an incredibly quick and compact cooking place, especially in the field.

Thanks to its design and the chimney effect, it reaches temperature in just a few minutes and gets the most out of the fuel. Thanks to a constant supply of air, it burns so effectively that little ash residue is produced. In addition, the cast-iron top is a trump card, because just like the cast-iron fire pans, it stores and distributes the heat evenly and also passes it on to the cookware. This allows you to achieve an even and energy-saving cooking and frying result.

What fuel do I need for the rocket stove?

The rocket stove is particularly efficient and can be fired with small branches, twigs or cones. Small pieces of firewood are also suitable as fuel. However, coals should not be used. Therefore, use wood you have collected, which will even save you money.

What is the best way to light the rocket stove?

To light the rocket stove, first position the support for the fuel on the ash pan and open the combustion chamber flap completely. Then place the Petromax fire kit or a small pyramid fire made of branches and twigs in the middle of the combustion chamber and light it.

Now you only have to throw in smaller branches from above and the rocket stove is up and running. From now on, branches, twigs or small split wood can be added via the fuel tray. You can control the air supply individually by opening and closing the flap.

How do I clean the rocket stove?

To clean, the ash tray can simply be removed from the cooled rocket stove and emptied. To remove all ash residue from the rocket stove, you can pour it out again briefly and clean the combustion chamber and chimney with a hand brush.

You can wipe the body and the cast-iron upper section with a damp cloth, but then dry it well with a cloth to prevent corrosion. For the body, we recommend the Petromax Bio Cleaner for soot and fire marks for heavier soiling. For additional protection and care, you can regularly treat the cast-iron upper part with Petromax Care Paste for Cast and Wrought Iron.

What is a rocket stove and how does it work?

The rocket stove is one of the Petromax outdoor stoves and provides concentrated firepower in just 33 cm. This handy and mobile stove and fireplace quickly brings your rustic cookware up to temperature. Thanks to its efficient burning method and easy firing with collected twigs, branches or bark, it is the ideal companion for camping trips.

The functional core is the L-shaped design of the combustion chamber. This creates a chimney effect that makes the rocket stove an effective cooking area. Cold air flowing into the combustion chamber is heated and becomes less dense as its temperature rises, causing it to rise automatically and escape from the vertical opening of your cooking zone. The resulting negative pressure ensures that air is constantly drawn in and expelled. In this way, the rocket stove produces effective combustion even with little fuel and you benefit from fast and strong heat development.

The combustion chamber is continuously supplied with oxygen via the external air openings on the base, which also keeps the blazing flames going. The supply of oxygen is facilitated by the grate with ash tray underneath. This allows combustion residues to fall through the grate into the ash pan and creates sufficient space for new fuel.

What can I do with a rocket stove?

The rocket stove is a mobile and electricity-free stove on which you can prepare both food and hot drinks. You can prepare a hearty breakfast of eggs and bacon in no time at all in the wrought iron pan, which quickly absorbs the high temperatures of the rocket stove and delivers crispy roasting results. A seared steak or roast potatoes turn out particularly well. The rocket stove and the forged pan are an ideal team.

Stews can also be easily prepared. The cast iron support surface heats up pots and pans properly. From a base diameter of 12 cm, you can also cook comfortably on the rocket stove with your Dutch oven (without feet). However, the larger the pot, the further it protrudes from the 23.5 cm wide support surface. The rocket stove is not suitable for long braising and cooking due to its enormous power and constant heat development. With the Petromax percolator, you can also prepare aromatic tea or coffee on the rocket stove. The rocket stove enables fast heating, searing and cooking at maximum flame power.

kleines und vielseitiges Kraftpaket

"Habe mit den Raketenofen einiges probiert - Kochen mit Topf und Pfanne, Waffeleisen, Sandwicheisen usw. Macht echt Spaß und das teil macht echt palett! Ich persönlich habe ihn aber nicht mit auf Reise genommen da er mir dafür zu schwer und unhandlich ist - dafür 1 Stern Abzug, wobei das mein persönliches Empfinden ist"

Steven (4/5)

Supergerät

"Wenn man mit dem Auto unterwegs ist oder für Terasse/Balkon/Garten sowie für Survival ist das ein tolles Kochgerät. Ich nenne ihn "kleiner Drache" und nehme zum Kochen einen gußeisernen Wok."

Dagmar L. (5/5)

Mega, mit kleiner Schwäche

"Ich nutze ihn fast wöchentlich. Er lässt sich super schnell anzünden und ist schnell einsatzbereit. Der Verbrauch an Holz ist ok. Wir haben bereits mehrfach Eintöpfe gekocht, was auch ohne Probleme geht. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es aber leider. Was mich wirklich extrem stört ist die krasse Ruß Entwicklung. Ich habe diverses Holz ausprobiert, aber er rußt einfach wie hölle."

Perfect for long time travelling

"Travelling around Europe I use this almost daily. After three years the bottom grill is warped but still works perfect! A must have if you do not want to depend on fossil fuels."
