My family recently purchased a business in Maine. The building is about 3000 sq ft and is heated with a Sequoia Paradise wood furnace. I am able to fit a 55g drum inside the furnace and we were thinking of fabricating a feed/air tube at the opening of the door. Will a rocket mass heater produce enough heat for our system which circulates 210 gallons of water? When the furnace is filled and running efficiently it brings the water temp to 180. Can a rocket mass heater be designed in a closed area? Here are the specs for our furnace:
Sequoia
Paradise model E3400 outdoor wood furnace. It
has a 320,000 Btu/hr rating, with a forced
downdraft gasification design. The firebox is 44"
deep x 48" tall x 32" wide, holding 39 cubic feet
of fuel. The unit stands 60" wide x 72" long x
94" tall
