Solar Cookers

Easy Cooking and Good Results
Solar Cooking with the Olympus Flower Parabolic Solar Cooker obtains easy results with minimum supervision. Temperatures of 200 degrees Celcius (390 degrees F) are reached.
All our cooking is done in dark cast-iron pots which definitely work best due to their heat retention and non-stick properties. .

Maintaining Maximum Cook Time
By centering the sun spot on your shadow indicator, the cooker will focus its sun rays on the pot for 20 minutes. By predicting the path of the sun and advancing the reflector to the West, you can focus the sun rays longer on the pot and prolong the cooking time for up to one hour.

Rocket Stove Instructions

Rays Rocket Stove - Minimize your carbon foot print

The Best Camping stove you will ever buy...
The Ray Rocket Stove ensures almost completely clean combustion. The Rocket Stove is virtually smokeless once burning well. The Rocket Cooker special design produces a high heat with a minimal amount of wood burning required.

Wood Rocket Stove

The Ray Rocket Stove is built using recycled materials including cylinders and sheet metal, to minimise the impact on our environment.

Little bits of wood and biomas (ie dried plant stalks/newspaper/cardboard)) can be collected a short distance from around our homes. So we are not destroying more trees, we are simply using what’s already been discarded.

A handful of wood will provide enough energy to boil a two litre kettle of water within 15 minutes.

An average milk crate (aprox 20 litres) full of kindling will supply enough energy for an average family of four people to cook and boil all their needs for approximately four days.

Wood Burning Stove

The perfect wood burning rocket stove has just enough oxygen dispensed through the smoke gases and burns at a high enough temperature so that everything reduces down to only water vapour, carbon dioxide, heat and a little ash.

Given the problem of carbon dioxide and its notoriety as a greenhouse gas, the cleaner we burn wood, the less carbon dioxide we create and the less wood we use.

The infrastructure of power stations and gas production, and the distances this energy needs to travel to get to us, has an immense carbon footprint.
By saving on fossil fuels no matter what their origin, we lessen our carbon footprint.

Outdoor Camping Stove

Ideal for camping, Ray's camping rocket stove uses very little wood to boil your first cuppa in the morning, or to get the pan going with a hearty breakfast... Probably the best ,wood burning Rocket Cooker you will ever buy..
