-==== electric stoves ====
+==== solid fuel ====
+=== sterno ===
+Sterno is a jellied alcohol fuel.  It is rarely used in vandwelling because of the cost and because the flames are nearly invisible.
+=== hexamine ===
+[[https://amzn.to/3hfujSd|{{ https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RIkk1j2CL._AC_UY218_.jpg?125}}]]
+Hexamine bars or tablets ([[https://amzn.to/3hfujSd|esbit]], military surplus) are very expensive by the BTU produced (and relatively sooty-burning) but are lightweight and stable.  They make great additions to day packs and emergency bags.
+==== tin can stove ====
+The simplest stove is a [[http://www.practicalsurvivor.com/hobostove|cut-out tin can]], often called a "twig" or "hobo" stove.
+Pro:
+  * free, craftable from found objects
+  * free fuel when available and legal (ie, no burn bans)
+  * refuelable during operation
+Con:
+  * bulky
+  * sooty
+==== rocket stoves ====

+>...rocket stoves used 18 to 35 percent less fuel compared to the traditional stoves and reduced fuel used 39-47 percent compared to the simple traditional open three-stone fire, as well as a large reduction in emissions.((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_stove))
+In real world terms this means less smoke and more heat for a given amount of fuel.  The camping versions also run quite well on small "scrap" fallen wood like bark freagments, twigs, chunks of partially burned wood, etc.

 Lab hotplates are similar to cooking hotplates only generally smaller using much less wattage.  They may not work for full-on cooking but might suffice for reheating/simmering.  See [[https://mouse.mousetrap.net/blog/2021/05/05/first-run-with-the-lab-hotplate/|this blog post]] by secessus.
