What can I burn in it?
What can I burn in it?
Anything that fits the feed tube: twigs, sticks, small branches, pinecones, bark, scrap lumber. If it fell off a tree in your yard, it's fuel. You'll never buy a propane bottle, a gas canister or a bag of charcoal for it again.
How fast does it get hot?
How fast does it get hot?
Fast. Ball up some paper, add a handful of dry twigs, light it, and you're cooking in a few minutes. The rocket design pulls air in through the feed tube and drives the flame straight up the chimney into the bottom of your pan, so the heat goes into your food instead of out into the night.
Will it work when the power goes out?
Will it work when the power goes out?
That's exactly what it's built for. No gas line, no outlet, no battery, no canister. Set it up on the porch, patio or driveway, feed it sticks from the yard, and you've got a hot meal and boiling water while the rest of the street is eating cold cereal. It's an outdoor stove, so it lives outside the door, never inside.
How big is it, and what can I cook on it?
How big is it, and what can I cook on it?
About 15 inches tall on a wide stabilizer base, built from heavy carbon steel so it doesn't wobble. The cast iron top holds a 12-inch skillet, a stock pot, a coffee kettle or a full Dutch oven. Fry bacon and eggs, boil water, simmer chili, sear a steak.

Sticks In. Dinner Out.
Every other stove you own runs on something you have to buy, store and eventually run out of. The Blackout Stove runs on the stuff you rake up every fall. Drop a handful of twigs in the feed tube, light a wad of paper underneath, and the rocket design pulls air through the fire and drives a focused flame straight up into the bottom of your pan. A few sticks fry a full breakfast. A few more boil a pot of water. The fuel is free, it's everywhere, and it never expires on a shelf.

1. Feed it
Drop a handful of dry twigs into the feed tube.
2. Light it

Great meals start here
The Blackout Stove runs on twigs, sticks and branches from your yard.

Blackout StoveFeatures
Free fuel forever
Every other stove you own runs on something you have to buy, store and eventually run out of. This one runs on the sticks you rake up every fall.
Cooks when the grid fails
An ice storm takes out the lines. The stove is electric, the microwave is dead, and the grocery store is dark. Most families eat cold sandwiches for three days and pray the power comes back. You step out on the porch, feed the Blackout Stove a handful of sticks, and put a pot of coffee on. Hot soup for the kids. Boiled water. Bacon and eggs in the morning. No gas line, no outlet, no canister to run dry halfway through the week. As long as there's a tree in your yard, you can cook.
Rain, wind, wet wood
Campfires die in the rain. Propane runs out on day two. The Blackout Stove's insulated chimney burns so hot it dries the next stick before it catches, so it keeps cooking when everything else gives up. Heavy carbon steel that doesn't flex under a loaded Dutch oven, a wide stabilizer base that sits flat on dirt, gravel or concrete, and a carry bag so it rides in the trunk year-round. Camping in July, hunting camp in November, the backyard on a Tuesday, the porch when the power's out.
Packs in its own bag
The stove, base and fire hook go in the heavy-duty carry bag. Keep it in the garage, the trunk or the camper so it's there when you need it.

Propane you'd need

$0 fuel
≈ 0 grocery bags of yard sticksPlanning estimate. Based on a typical camp-stove burner going through about one 1-lb propane bottle per 2 hours of cooking, at about $7.50 a bottle. Wind, pot size and cooking style change the numbers. The Blackout Stove is an outdoor cooking stove: porch, patio, driveway or campsite.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Four reasons, and that's the lot
One stove, a cast iron top, and fuel you'll never have to buy again.
Everything in the bag
WHO IT'S FOR
Four people, one stove
Families who lose power, campers sick of propane, guys who live out of their truck and people shopping for them. It answers all four.
“The last ice storm, we ate cold cereal for three days.”
Never again. When the power goes out, you step outside, feed it sticks from the yard and cook a real hot meal. No gas, no electric, no fuel stockpile to worry about.
“I’m done hauling propane bottles to camp.”
Leave the canisters at home. Every campsite is covered in fuel for the Blackout Stove, and it cooks hotter than a campfire on a fraction of the wood.
“I want something in the truck that just works.”
Heavy carbon steel, nothing to break, nothing to refill. It lives in its bag behind the seat and it's ready when you are: hunting camp, the lake, the tailgate.
“I need a gift for the guy who has everything.”
He doesn't have this. It's rugged, it's useful and it gets used every time he's outside. The kind of gift he'll still be using in ten years.
