Thanks Gordon,
I have been puzzling over ways to bake bread without electricity.
Off the Grid BEARDED HERMITS
seem to all use a Cast Iron Dutch Oven. Which requires TONGS to put burning embers on TOP of the Pan Lid.
But a Cast Iron WOK
Might Work too.
Just Cover a small yeast bread loaf with a metal Pan Lid.
Flip the Bread so the bottom does not burn.
Gotta TRY that on my new 99.00 ROCKET STOVE.

So far
FIRST TEST EVER -
I was able to Lightly Burn 4 Frozen Hot Dogs on the Rocket Stove.
Have not got the timing down
to feed in Twigs and flip the Dogs. Gotta Practice.
But Still Edible!
Thanks,

Your Rocket stove will be able to heat a cup or two of water, very quickly. So, if you have parboiled rice, or other somewhat cooked items, you can cook them very swiftly. Hot dogs of any variety, do better after they've been soaked a while in hot water...this allows you to cook other things and then just "finish them off" like a stick and turning quickly.
Flat breads like Matzah and even Pitas (unleavend) can be baked in a warm Wok, try haning yours about foot above your rocket stove, and a GLASS lid, like from pyrex, will hold the heat in and only needs flipping one time.
I'm excited for your new discoveries. Try baking a muffin in a can in your Rocket, that would be a good deal.

Good luck, have fun with it.

PS. I always set water on first thing, indoors, out, camping or in a commercial kitchen. You will find having hot water on hand comes in handy for a lot of things, be it a cup or two or a big pot.
