The point is, it is a one piece fire. And it works. And you don’t have much to clean up when it is finished. So kudos to the inventor and the marketer. Now I think I will go out to the woodpile and see if I still have a bit of pine log left, to try it myself.
Cool is cool. Just because none of us thought of it first is no reason to belittle it.

True.
And really, $20 is not at all unreasonable to someone who doesn’t have anywhere they can harvest a log from, or who doesn’t have the tools to cut the holes himself. It’s also enough for the people making it to cover their labour and expenses and still make a reasonable profit.
Pretty sure that this guy didn’t invent anything. This has been in the Boy Scout handbook for the past 100 years. I’m pretty sure the BSA wasn’t the first to think of this either.
Sadly, “Hollow logs may not be sold.” in the state of Tennessee. What’s even more sad is that I know that. What’s worse than that? I can’t find the TCA on it. Lastly, and perhaps the saddest of all, is that this is quite possibly the dumbest comment I have ever made.

How do they brand the logo on there without starting the Thermo-Armageddon?

On the other hand, they are selling it to NASCAR fans so yeah… profit…

Just google ‘rocket stoves’ to see what’s at work here.

Where is the stove?
I don’t see anyone cooking in the pics, but I didn’t (actually couldn’t bring myself to) watch the entire video.

“Because the StumpStove is 100% natural it offers optimal performance and longevity without damaging the earth with pollutants or your neighbor!”
If I’m damaging the earth with my neighbor, it’s because I’m using my neighbor as a club.

Heh, this reminds me of the people who cruise craft shows so they can see neat ideas they can make at home themselves.
Or you could just build a fire.

Sounds like a winning product all around!
