How to build your own rockpot

This ad is coming up on my social media feeds. Basically, it’s a double boiler inside of an insulated thermos with a heated stone ring in it and it functions like a slow cooker. Great idea, but it’s not a $250 great idea.

I feel like this is something you ought to be able to build

It’s not actively burning fuel though, so you can leave it unattended or cooking in your car while you drive to your campsite.

Maybe more like a pizza stone and an insulated pot.

Thermal mass cooking aka haybox cooking. You can do the same thing with a well insulated vacuum food jar.
