Hi Pals, I'm new here. I'm interested in wood for eating and cooking as well as a lot of other topics. I'm wondering how practical and technical it is to install a rocket mass heater in my home.
Firstly, where do you get the wood? I can get woodchips from a tree company, but the logs they have are too big I think...
Secondly, installing a rocket mass heater would be expensive and technical because you would have to do major alterations to the home .
Thirdly, are there any codes and does it benefit the value of the house, in case you have to sell? And are there contractors that will it?
I'm trying to get to the bottom of this before I get started. I definitely think this is on to something because I pay over $100 with gas and I know someone that pays over $500 for electricity in the winter.
