I am trying to conceptualize a way to build a
rocket stove that will accomplish at least two things:
1) Sterilizing grains or liquid for LC in jars at around 250 degrees F
2)Use the same stove to heat
water (NOT under pressure) to pasteurizing temperatures (140-170 degrees F) for substrates for
mushrooms
I just started thinking about this idea today, but I would like to be able to do about 55 gallons of substrate at a time and around 20-40 one-quart jars of grain/LC (or 5-10 one-gallon jars?) at a time, if possible. Ideally, I will build upon the design over time and stack more functions into the
rocket stove, but I am in South Texas and do not need the thermal mass as much as individuals in northern climates! So possibly a cook stove addition in the future would
be nice, but my main focus is to be able to work with mushroom growing medias with low input in an area where I do not have access to electricity.
Anyone have any design ideas?? I will keep updates if/when I come up with and start designing a system!!
