Rocket stove technology is based on the principles of efficient combustion and heat transfer. The key features include a insulated combustion chamber, a vertical chimney for improved airflow, and a design that maximizes the transfer of heat to the cooking surface. These principles result in a stove that burns fuel more efficiently, produces less smoke, and cooks food faster compared to traditional stoves.
Key rocket stove design principles for efficient and sustainable cooking include optimizing airflow for complete combustion, insulating the combustion chamber to retain heat, using a vertical chimney to create a strong draft, and incorporating a fuel shelf to support the cooking pot at the right height.
The heat riser in a rocket stove helps create a strong upward draft that pulls in fresh air, allowing for more complete combustion of fuel. This results in a more efficient and cleaner burning process.
A rocket stove efficiently burns biomass by creating a strong draft of air that helps the fuel burn quickly and completely. This design allows for high temperatures and minimal smoke, making it a sustainable option for cooking and heating.
To unhook a hardwired stove, start by turning off power to the stove at the circuit breaker. Then, carefully disconnect the wires from the electrical junction box behind the stove. Finally, remove any mounting brackets or screws securing the stove in place and carefully pull the stove away from the wall to fully disconnect it.
The ideal ratio for rocket stove dimensions to ensure optimal efficiency and performance is typically a combustion chamber diameter of 4-6 inches and a height of 12-18 inches, with a chimney diameter of 2-3 inches and a height of 36-48 inches.

The Rocket Lorena stove derives its name from the addition of elements of the Rocket Stove into the Lorena Stove. Lorena is from a combination of the Spanish words for 'clay' and 'sand', which are mixed to make the mortar used in its construction. I am guessing here that the Rocket Stove may have gotten its name from its use of an L-shaped combustion chamber called the "rocket elbow," which rockets the combustion upwards. It thereby allows full combustion of the fuel at the front of the stove while localizing the burn to just the ends of the sticks inside the combustion chamber, which is at the crook of the elbow, thereby conserving wood. The Rocket Lorena has added this "rocket-elbow" combustion chamber to the Lorena stove. It has also added better insulation materials, such as pumice, clay-sawdust or clay-husk mortar, or whatever else is locally available, around the firebox and the rest of the heat passageway. Additional thought: Regarding why the Rocket Stove is called a rocket, it might also be because the rocket stove looks somewhat like a rocket. Or else because the stove's combustion chamber bears some analogy with the combustion chamber found in liquid-fueled rockets. Though the Wikipedia listing for rocket stove does not answer this mystery, it does give links to sources that may be able to do so, such as the Aprovecho Research Center. Apparently, the 'rocket' half of the name of this energy efficient stove is derived also from the swooshing sound the stove makes as the heat trys to escape from the top of stove.

Yes, there is typically a gas shut off valve located behind the stove for safety purposes.
A stove board is a rectangle or square of sheet steel, usually having sides of about three or four feet, backed with thin insulation, used for the stove to sit on to protect the floor. You can also protect the wall behind a stove by putting a stove board behind it. Very old stove boards might be backed with asbestos, and I would avoid them.
The rocket stove was invented by Dr. Larry Winiarski in 1982. This stove is typically fueled by small diameter pieces of wood or similar materials. Though it is not widely known in much of the developed world, the rocket stove is becoming important in many places, as it reduces the amount of fuel needed for cooking by half, and produces very little smoke, compared to open fires. Also, the design is so simple that stoves of this type can be manufactured at almost no cost. The ecological and economic implications are potentially very important. There is a link below.
It is easy to find a good quality rocket stove in the United States. One reputable company selling them is US Tactical Supply. One can also buy one online from Stock Storage.
Installing a stainless backsplash behind the stove in a kitchen provides benefits such as easy cleaning, heat resistance, and a modern aesthetic.
The gas stove shut off valve is typically located behind the stove, near the floor, or in a cabinet next to the stove in a typical kitchen.
To turn off the gas to your stove, locate the gas shut-off valve behind the stove and turn it clockwise until it is fully closed.
