This is a discussion group for learning about and using the Military Surplus M1941/M1950 Tent Heater stove. We also discuss the rocket cook stove. These units can burn solid fuels like wood or coal (comes with grate), and on the M1941, with a removable kit, liquid fuels like kerosene, diesel, used vegetable oil and more. The oil burner module can be installed in a drum or woodstove by itself. The M1950 already has the oil burner included, and can run wood and liquid fuels (not coal). The Rocket stove is wood and charcoal capable.
