A easy question for anyone who wants to answer it. :lol:
I know that you can use almost anything in a Zip Stove as a heat source to cook a meal.
The wood , depending on what type you use will soot up the cooking pot. So it is actually a couple of questions.
1... What wood can be used without getting the cooking pot sooty ?
2... Has anyone tried the self lighting briquet's , the one you put a match to and they burn. I'm thinking after the chemical burns off and the briquette is lit then you would have some good heat that would be soot free.
3... If not the briquet's then how about the stick charcoal.
Any ideas ??????????????
One other thought......... Kicking some ideas around.........
You are camping in a area where there is a shortage of wood and you want to do a beef stew in the Dutch Oven , you have decided to stay in camp another day so there is plenty of time to do that.
You suspend the D.O. from a tri pod over the Zip Stove and use it as the heat source. I'm thinking the briquet's would burn a lot longer then any small pieces of wood so the stew could be simmered ( slow) cooked over a longer period of time that way. Using less fuel , both natural and man made , to cook supper.
Keeping any firewood you gathered for the camping fire after the sun goes down.
