Rinko

Rinko refers to a type of Japanese portable stove. These stoves are typically small, lightweight, and designed for outdoor use, often by campers or hikers. They are characterized by their simplicity and fuel efficiency. Rinko stoves commonly burn wood, twigs, or other natural materials found in the environment, making them a sustainable option for cooking or heating in the wilderness. Their compact design allows for easy carrying in a backpack, and they can often be disassembled for even greater portability. The name "Rinko" itself is sometimes associated with outdoor recreation or "forest bathing" in Japanese culture, reflecting their intended use. Various manufacturers produce different models of Rinko stoves, with variations in size, material, and design, but the core concept of a portable, wood-burning stove remains consistent. They are a practical tool for those seeking to prepare meals or stay warm without relying on pre-packaged fuel sources.
