Well you won't need one in perth just now mayhem,my daughter who lives in joondalup recons it's 40 odd c at present!! we're going there in april for a month, I'm no expert on rocket stoves so I surfed the net for all the info I could find till I found one that suited my & I more or less copied it with with a few mod's to suit myself, the best part is it doesn't use a lot of fuel, the burn chamber gets so hot[glows red] it burns all it's own smoke & it starts heating straight away, the only downside is that you have to feed it little & often but I wouldn't go back to a pot belly now,this is far superior, I love it.
