About the video:

Stephen, the boot leader at Wheaton Labs, uses the Rocket mass heater with the cob hat in the tiny Love Shack cabin. This tiny rocket mass heater is all that is needed in this small space. The video showcases how to light the RMH, how often to fire it up to maintain a comfortable heat, and how the cob hat effectively holds the heat to extend the warmth in the cabin.

• Introduction to 'Cob Hat': Stephen opens the video by heading to the tiny cabin, Love Shack, which is the home for the smallest rocket mass heater at Wheaton Labs.
• Explaining the Rocket Mass Features: The "Minnie Mouse" Rocket Mass Heater is a 4 inch system.
• Adjusting the Rocket Mass Heater: The purpose of adding the Cob Hat to the “Minnie Mouse”  is to hold on to the heat to provide heat for a longer period of time.
• Going through the temperatures before the fire: Stephen goes through the temperatures outside and inside the Love Shack.
• Run the Rocket Mass for an Hour: Stephen lights the rocket mass heater and runs it for an hour before going to sleep to heat the cabin overnight.
• Checking the Temperatures in the Morning: The thermometer still shows about 65° F first thing in the morning.
• Cob Mass Still Warm in the Morning: Stephen shows the Cob Mass is still radiating heat after being off all night.
