Yes, it be time for another VEG rocket stove and efficient combustion workshop. This course will blow your mind showing you how you can use low-cost, easy-built, efficient combustion systems for all your heating and cooking needs. Join us at beautiful Mayberry Woodend, Victoria where we’ll delve deep into a suite of simple, low cost and crazily fuel-efficient technologies we’ll show you how to build yourself.

In this two-day workshop we’ll build an in-place rocket stoves for household cooking (hotplate and oven) that we’ll be cooking on from  the end of the first day. We’ll also cover:

• In-place rocket stove house-scale hot water heaters
• Micro-rocket stoves that can fit in a bike pannier (perfect for camping)
• TLUD (top-lit updraft) stoves
• Rammed sawdust stoves
• Hyper-efficient solar-cooking

You don’t need to be able to a whiz on the tools to attend – we’ll teach you basic tool use along the way – any one can to this workshop.

Workshop includes a free e-copy of our own rocket oven ebook and a bunch of other kick-ass resources. You can catch a flavour of some of the resources here. The tutors will be Joel Meadows and Tim Barker.

Bring your own lunch for saturday and pizza toppings to share for saturday night rocket pizza feast (we’ll supply bases and sauce and cheese). We’ll provide a simple breakfast and lunch on sunday as well as snacks for morning and arvo tea.
