It's funny you should mention wood stoves. I haven't had one in four decades, but I'm looking for an alternative to bottled gas to supplement my all-electric lifestyle.

Since 2001, Aprovecho Research Center has worked on designs for cook stoves, primarily for use in developing countries. They are best known for the Rocket stove, developed by Ianto Evans and their technical director Dr. Larry Winiarski.
So the Rocket stove is a 21st century invention. It will be used by generations yet un-named.
