I built this Rocket Stove from scrap metal to serve as a daily use wood stove at a training center. I wanted it to be long-lasting, efficient, and work well, and be able to use various fuels including scrounged branches, wood chips, split wood, and eventually pellets.

The Watchman Stove
The Watchman Stove was designed by Kirk Salmons of Front Royal, Virginia. Kirk received so much positive feedback and interest in his early prototypes that he decided to pursue higher volume production and marketing of the product to reach a larger consumer base. Kirk has partnered with Winchester Metals, Inc. to start producing and distributing the Watchman Stove throughout the United States. The partnership with Winchester Metals allows for a higher quality stove at a lower price point to the consumer.
