I bought the Stovetec stoves before I saw this post. They are probably the best simple rocket stoves available. Brilliant.

I bought the charcoal/wood version-only used it once so far but very impressed.

We gave Aprovecho an award for this stove in 2009:

Note that Stovetec and Aprovecho are related:
StoveTec was created in the fall of 2008 as a not-just-for-profit entity to act as the technology transfer recipient for the Aprovecho Research Center. ARC has worked for 30 years to design and build improved cook stoves and has completed over 100 projects in 60 countries. ARC designed StoveTec stoves with cooks to assure that cooks all over the world would love the stove.
