THE WOOD ZONE: EFFICIENT ROCKET STOVE

THIS BLOG ATTEMPTS TO SHOW HOW SCIENCE IS CATCHING UP WITH REVEALED RELIGION

THIS BLOG IS AN ATTEMPT TO PUT ALL THE COOL STUFF THAT I BUMP INTO ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND EVENTS THAT LEAD UP TO IT INTO ONE LOCATION.
THE CONTENTS WILL BE FROM AN LDS PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING IN HERE, I DO NOT PARTICULARLY CARE TO ARGUE, UNLESS YOU CAN ADD TO THIS BODY OF WORK.

EFFICIENT ROCKET STOVE - MINIMAL FUEL USE

I have two solar ovens that will work towards cooking/baking for my family without the use of fuel. The only problem with solar ovens is that they do not work in extremely cold temps and they are ineffective on terribly cloudy days. Both problems where I happen to live. The other is the amount of fuel required to stoke a traditional stove in an area where trees are not abundant (such as Cardston or Utah). In addition to being horribly inefficient (20%, or so), most stoves require cut cord wood to 14"-20" in length, which may not be possible if you cannot find fuel enough to power your chain saw. In a survival/refugee situation, easily available fuel will be depleted rather quickly where large encampments of thousands or tens of thousands of people are relying on the same sources. In African refugee camps, the women responsible for the cooking can travel for a day to find enough fuel to stoke their inefficient open fires after they have been camped in one spot for some duration. The best solution I have found to answer all of the above problems is the following stove:

I believe this will also run on buffalo chips and most any branches or dried reeds or grasses. The efficiency is amazing. I have just ordered mine as a late Christmas present to myself and my family. Instead of getting all the finer things, if you have not done so already, it is time to order the simpler and necessary things for your family. If you cannot take care of them properly after so much warning as to what is coming - the sin be upon your head. If you are not able, and you have done your best, the Lord will provide according to your faith and diligence.

One last thought. I have two small collapsible ovens that can be rigged over this rocket stove which you can bake two loaves of bread in (each one). It would not be good to have wheat and no way to make bread. Here is a link to those stoves - and I highly recommend these little babies - and they are cheap and come with their own thermostats and can be used on any stove you might need to cook on (other than an open fire):

Don't know if you've heard of "Hay Boxes". (Thermal Cooking)

During WW II many farmers used this method of cooking because of fuel shortages during the war. Haybox cooking is the nonelectric version of the Crock-Pot. You can use it to prepare any recipe that involves boiling, roasting, simmering, or steaming food. Here are a couple of good links or you can just google "thermal cooking":

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY THE HIDDEN THINGS RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?

But the Latter-day Saints are not in darkness; they are the children of light, although many of us will actually be asleep. We shall have to wake up and trim up our lamps, or we shall not be prepared to enter in; for we shall all slumber and sleep in that day, and some will have gone to sleep from which they will not awake until they awake up in darkness without any oil in their lamps. But, as a general thing, the Saints will understand the signs of the times. Others have their eyes closed upon the prophecies of the ancient Prophets; and not only that, but they are void of the spirit of prophecy themselves. When a man has this, though he may appeal to ancient Prophets to get understanding on some subjects he does not clearly understand, yet, as he has the spirit of prophecy in himself, he will not be in darkness; he will have a knowledge of the signs of the times; he will have a knowledge of the house of Israel, and of Zion, of the ten tribes and of many things and purposes and events that are to take place on the earth; and he will see coming events, and can say such an event will take place, and after that another, and then another; and after that the trumpet shall sound, and after that certain things will take place, and then another trump shall sound, &c., &c.; and he will have his eye fixed on the signs of the times, and that day will not overtake him unawares.

JD, O PRATT 7:190

JOSEPH SMITH SAID THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND WAITING, WILL KNOW THE HOUR:

"Christ says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh. This is a sweeping argument for sectarianism against Latter day ism. Did Christ speak this as a general principle throughout all generations Oh no he spoke in the present tense no man that was then liveing upon the footstool of God knew the day or the hour But he did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet says that God will do nothing but what he will reveal unto his Servants the prophets consequently if it is not made known to the Prophets it will not come to pass; again we find Paul 1st of Thesslonians 5th Chapter expressly points out the characters who shall not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh for says he it will come upon them as the theif or unawares. Who are they they are the children of darkness or night. But to the Saints he says yea are not of the night nor of darkness of that that day should come upon you unawares. John the revelator says 14 chap 7th verse that the hour of his judgements is come they are precursers or forerunners of the comeing of Christ. read Matthew 24 Chap and all the Prophets. He says then shall they see the Sign of the comeing of the Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven. How are we to see it Ans. As the lighting up of the morning or the dawning of the morning cometh from the east and shineth unto the west—So also is the comeing of the Son of Man. The dawning of the morning makes its appearance in the east and moves along gradualy so also will the comeing of the Son of Man be. it will be small at its first appearance and gradually becomes larger untill every eye shall see it. Shall the Saints understand it Oh yes. Paul says so. Shall the wicked understand Oh no they attribute it to a natural cause. They will probably suppose it is two great comets comeing in contact with each other It will be small at first and will grow larger and larger untill it will be all in a blaze so that every eye shall see it." (Joseph Smith, General Conference, April 6, 1843
