You can make a rocket stove out of lots of scavenged materials. A pile of bricks stacked up work great. I even saw one dug out of a hole in the ground. The zeer pot had better be thought out in advance though. It also works a lot better in drier climates. I'm in the southeast, which is pretty humid. The south west US is a great environment for it to work well. Considering 50% of us on this forum are from Texas, it should be a basic prepping supply.
