60L Rocket

60L Rocket

A 60LRocket is a high-efficiency, solid-fuel stove designed to heat or boil 60 liters of water or cook food using minimal fuel. It is built on the "rocket stove" principle—featuring an insulated vertical combustion chamber that ensures complete combustion of wood, biomass, or charcoal, producing high heat output with very low smoke. The 60-liter capacity makes it suitable for community kitchens, schools, army messes, catering units, and rural or emergency cooking needs.
