I made a nice deal, a household clearance, they sold it as "new but unused", and it indeed even was factory-sealed. They found it in the garage of the person that had deceased. The rocket stove I already had, but the cast iron pot is the item I talk of, a "Dutch oven". In that size and of that weight it usually costs 70-100 taler, depending on the brand - I got it for 30. I almost had bought one of these some years ago, by Petromax, and if I would have done that, I would have paid three times as much.







That oven, btw, is great, it burns not only wood and bio mass, but charcoal and brickets as well. I have used it for fun severla times in the past two years, with a wok pan or a swedish cast iron pan.

Who knows, this winter with all the electricty instability and gas reserves empty... I have enough wood and coal for 6 weeks of hot meals. Then, if not collecting wood in the "wild", i would switch to gas cookers and other alternatives I have. These stoves are great, they are just fun to handle, and open fire always is great.
