Use in Developing Countries
Many developing countries use traditional wood fuel stoves without proper ventilation, which produces indoor concentrations of particles "typically 10 to 100 times the long-term levels recommended by the World Health Organization." Chronic exposure to these particles are linked with pneumonia, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Rocket stoves are an alternative method to wood fuel stoves as they use less fuel and have lower emissions.

In Rural Kenya, a comparison of traditional three-stone stove and rocket mud stoves (RMS) showed that RMS use resulted in a a 33% reduction of carbon monoxide production in the kitchen and a 42% reduction in "personal" carbon monoxide production, which was measured with loggers placed on clothing in the study.
