The StarBBQ™ Dual Rocket Stove BBQ Box by Sunstone Metal Products is a rugged, highly configurable portable wood-burning cooking system built around a heavy-duty 40MM military-style ammo box. Designed for camping, overlanding, hunting, bushcraft, emergency preparedness, and off-grid outdoor cooking, the STARBBQ-DRSBBQX combines a durable steel storage box with a convertible dual rocket stove, pass-through fuel system, folding work shelf, and compact pack-away design.
What sets this stove apart is its two-position convertible chimney system. The stove incorporates both front and rear chimney locations, allowing the two included chimney sections to be operated separately as dual cooking towers or connected together vertically to create one extra-tall stacked chimney.
Each chimney position has its own built-in sliding closure panel. When operating only one chimney location, simply slide the unused opening closed. This directs combustion airflow and exhaust toward the active chimney rather than allowing heat to escape through the unused opening.
For maximum cooking capacity, install one chimney in the front position and the second in the rear position to create two separate elevated cooking zones. When stronger draft, increased cooking height, or reduced visible smoke is preferred, stack both chimney sections together and install the taller chimney in either the front or rear location.
The taller stacked chimney increases the vertical draft created by rising hot gases and provides a longer heated exhaust path. Under proper operating conditions, this gives combustible gases additional time and heat to continue burning before exiting the chimney, which can help produce a cleaner burn and reduce visible smoke.
The stove's double-sided pass-through fuel and ventilation ports allow sticks and appropriately sized pieces of firewood to be fed through the combustion chamber from either side. The included long BBQ fuel pusher tool with wooden handle allows fuel to be advanced, repositioned, or cleared while keeping your hands farther away from the hot combustion area.
A large folding 19-inch side work shelf provides convenient preparation and cookware space. When cooking is finished, the chimney sections, removable internal components, and accessories break down and store inside the steel ammo-box enclosure for convenient transportation.
No propane tanks. No electricity. No specialized fuel. Just a durable, self-contained wood-fired cooking system designed for use almost anywhere outdoors.
Install one chimney section in the front position and the second chimney section in the rear position.
This configuration creates two vertical heat outlets and allows cookware to be positioned over both chimney towers. It is ideal when preparing multiple items at the same time, such as heating water on one chimney while cooking food on the other.
The two vertical towers use the natural rocket-stove effect to direct flame and hot combustion gases toward the cookware.
Either the front or rear chimney position can be used independently.
Simply install a chimney in the preferred location and close the unused chimney opening using its built-in sliding closure panel.
Closing the unused opening concentrates combustion flow through the active chimney instead of allowing hot gases to escape through both locations.
This configuration is useful when only one cooking position is required.
For maximum chimney height, connect the two chimney sections together vertically.
The resulting taller chimney can then be installed in either:
Front Position
or
Rear Position
Close the unused chimney opening with its integrated sliding panel.
The stacked configuration provides several advantages:
As hot gases rise through the taller chimney, they create increased natural draft that helps pull fresh air toward the burning fuel.
The additional chimney height also keeps hot gases within the heated vertical passage longer. This can provide additional opportunity for smoke-producing combustible gases to continue burning before leaving the chimney.
Fuel type, wood moisture, airflow, fire temperature, and operating technique will also affect smoke production.
The STARBBQ-DRSBBQX uses a pass-through horizontal combustion and fuel-feed design.
Wood can be inserted through the stove's side openings toward the central combustion area. Longer sticks can remain partially outside the stove and be gradually moved inward as they burn.
The pass-through arrangement provides two important functions.
First, it creates convenient access to the fuel from either side of the stove.
Second, the open fuel and ventilation passages allow combustion air to enter beneath and around the wood while the chimney towers draw heated gases upward.
This combination creates the natural airflow that makes a rocket stove operate efficiently without requiring an electric blower.
The stove includes a long steel BBQ fuel-management tool with a wooden handle.
The tool can be used to:
The long shaft provides greater reach while the wooden handle offers a comfortable gripping surface.
The integrated side shelf transforms the stove into a more complete outdoor cooking station.
The shelf extends approximately:
19" Long × 6" Wide
It provides convenient space beside the stove for:
Two folding support legs stabilize the shelf while in use.
When transportation or storage is required, the shelf folds back toward the stove to reduce the overall footprint.
The STARBBQ-DRSBBQX operates using the natural chimney effect rather than a powered fan.
As the fire heats the vertical chimney, hot gases rise rapidly upward.
That upward movement creates lower pressure near the combustion chamber, helping draw fresh oxygen through the stove's ventilation and fuel openings.
The basic airflow path is:
Fresh Air → Fuel Feed / Ventilation Ports → Burning Wood → Combustion Chamber → Vertical Rocket Chimney → Cookware / Exhaust
Increasing chimney height by stacking both chimney sections can strengthen this natural draft.
The result is a simple wood-burning cooking system requiring no electrical power or mechanical blower.
Despite its cooking capacity, the STARBBQ-DRSBBQX is designed around portability.
After the stove has completely cooled, the removable chimney towers and other detachable components can be broken down and stored within the main steel enclosure.
The ammo-box-style body then becomes the stove's own storage and transportation container.
This keeps the major stove components together without requiring a separate equipment case.
The integrated folding carry handle provides a convenient way to transport the packed stove.
Because the STARBBQ-DRSBBQX requires neither bottled gas nor electricity, it is particularly useful anywhere traditional cooking fuel or electrical power may not be readily available.

The STARBBQ-DRSBBQX has two configurable chimney positions rather than one fixed chimney.
The two included chimney sections can be used separately to create two cooking zones or stacked vertically to create one extra-tall chimney.
Built-in sliding closure panels allow the unused front or rear chimney opening to be sealed.
Yes. Install one chimney section in the front position and the other in the rear position to create two simultaneous cooking areas.
This configuration is useful when heating or cooking multiple items.
Yes.
Choose either the front or rear chimney location and close the unused location with its integrated sliding panel.
This directs the stove's combustion flow toward the chimney being used.
Yes.
The two chimney sections are designed so they can be connected vertically to form one taller chimney tower.
The stacked tower can be installed in either the front or rear chimney position.
Yes.
You can operate the stacked chimney from either:
Simply close the opposite opening using its built-in sliding closure panel.
Stacking the chimney increases the vertical height of the rocket stove.
The taller configuration can provide:
A taller heated chimney generally creates stronger natural draft because hot gases have a greater vertical rise.
This can bring more combustion air toward the fire while maintaining a longer hot pathway for smoke-producing gases.
Under proper conditions, some of those gases can continue burning before they exit the top of the chimney, helping reduce visible smoke.
Dry fuel and a properly established hot fire are still important for clean combustion.
Wood, sticks, branches, and similar biomass fuel are inserted through the double-sided pass-through fuel openings.
Longer pieces can extend outside the stove and gradually be pushed farther into the combustion area as they burn.
It is a BBQ fuel pusher and fire-management tool.
The long steel shaft allows you to move and advance fuel inside the stove while maintaining greater distance between your hands and the hot combustion chamber.
No.
The stove is designed to burn natural biomass such as dry wood, sticks, twigs, and branches.
No.
The rocket stove creates airflow through natural chimney draft and does not require an electric fan, battery, or external power supply.
The approximately 19" × 6" shelf provides additional workspace for cooking tools, ingredients, plates, cookware, and food preparation.
Folding support legs help stabilize the shelf while it is extended.
The removable chimney sections and other major detachable components are designed to pack into the main steel enclosure, creating a compact self-contained system for storage and transportation.
The adjustable chimney-top supports accommodate many common outdoor cookware styles, including appropriately sized: Cast-iron skillets, Pots, Kettle, Sauce pans, Camping cookware, Coffee pots, and Cooking Survival Gear
