Over the last few months, I\u2019ve put a lot of time and effort into experimenting with different methods of boiling water and cooking off grid. While I haven\u2019t tested them all by any means, I\u2019ve tested several and I have come to some interesting conclusions. Who knows, maybe my experiments will save you some time or perhaps cause you to reconsider an option for cooking that you have put in your preps, that might not work as good as you thought.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, I\u2019ll break the methods down into what each type of cooking uses for fuel.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>solar<\/li>\n<li>fire<\/li>\n<li>compressed gas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Solar is the easiest to address. I\u2019ve built and cooked with a solar oven. They typically take several hours and some monitoring and repositioning, but they work well and are easy to build, and not terribly expensive\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1TzPoFy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">to buy<\/a>. I\u2019ve even got water to boil in the one I made.Here is a picture of mine, before I made reflectors for it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.thesurvivalistblog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/solar-oven-bct.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32870\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-32870\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.thesurvivalistblog.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/solar-oven-bct.png?resize=300%2C168\" alt=\"solar oven bct\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It worked fairly well like this, but when I made reflectors and found the optimal angle to attach them at, my internal temps went way past 300 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Fire is the next type of fuel I\u2019d like to discuss. Of course, you can just light a fire and use that to cook over. It worked for our ancestors and still works today. However, the type of fire I\u2019ve become confident in for its survival applications\u00a0is fire that burns hot enough to both create woodgas, in a device designed to take advantage of that woodgas and burn it off before it exhausts from the device. Those are a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1WendKg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">rockets stoves\u00a0<\/a>and woodgas stoves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Thoughts An Experiments With Various Means Of Off Grid Cooking I\u2019m a firm believer in redundancy or the old adage,\u201d one is none and two is one\u201d.
