A.C. : This is a system to create a crude "
Rocket Stove'', (a cooking stove,and best used out doors ) this is not any kind of a
Rocket Mass Heater R.M.H., and can not be made
into one.
The use of sugar here will greatly slow the rate at which the Mud Stove can dry, I would personally put this whole
project in the Dooms-day , Prepper, Zombie Hunter
class of
potentially nice skills to have after the Apocalypse,
Are you willing to make a heat riser out of clay slip and sawdust with the expectation that you will have to replace it yearly ?
With over 100,000 Rocket Mass
Heaters made world wide, almost all of them, and over 95% of the First Builds that Worked - were made from Ianto Evans' Great Book -
"Rocket Mass Heaters", I strongly recommend going to
rocketstoves.com, to get your PDF Copy, $15.
oo USD, there is
STILL No other book in any Language with as
much
Rocket Stove, Pocket Rocket, Mass Heater Family Information! ( And I dont make a dime !)
The best use of the miss-information that you have been subjected to can be found by going to www.traditionaloven.com and searching its topics,Time spent with a
local
potter will definitely be worth your time, you may gain a convert / helper, and getting someone who knows where to get local clay that needs little handling is always a
big plus !
Think like fire, flow like a gas, Don't be the Marshmallow ! As always, your comments /and questions are solicited and Welcome ! PYRO - Logically BIG AL,
P.S. The use of Grog as explained in Traditional Ovens or by a local potter will make your materials stronger, with only slight cost in insulative value ! A. L.
