This disclosure describes systems and methods for cooking using a stove system. In some embodiments, a method of heating materials using a stove may include inserting fuel through a third conduit positioned substantially above a fourth conduit. In some embodiments, the method may include allowing air to flow through the fourth conduit and a second opening. In some embodiments, the method may include inhibiting flames from reaching the second end of the first conduit using a deflector. In some embodiments, the method may include heating a heating surface coupled to the second end of the first conduit. In some embodiments, the method may include elevating the heating surface above the second end of the first conduit using a spacer. In some embodiments, the method may include inhibiting escape of heated fluids from the first conduit such that a heating surface is heated by the heated fluids.
