Not all of us are able to make a rocket mass heater, or have the time or desire to make one, but that doesn't mean we don't want one! I would LOVE to make this thread into a master list of rocket mass heater builders. If you have made a rocket mass heater and might consider building one for someone else, post here with a link to your build! The link can be a thread, a facebook gallery, a website, etc.
I can't guarantee that the below people will be open to making a stove for you--they are the people who I have seen mentioned here on permies and at inventor events.
Dave Peckham, southwest Idaho. Built a 6" rmh and it works just like its supposed to. Is happy to help others nearby, and into Eastern Oregon.
Rich Points, lower Michigan. Is a RMH builder in central. Would love to help you out with your build!
Glenn Herbert, upstate New York. has built several RMHs and rocket stoves and an oven, and would be available to work on systems in or near upstate NY.Rocket mass heater with 8" J-tube and bell
Erica and Ernie Wisner, Tonasket, Washington. http://www.ernieanderica.info
Sophie Gell, Delaware County NY: "I have built a RMH and multiple outdoor rocket cooking devices in Delaware County NY, somewhat near Eastern PA. I'd love to build one for someone or help out." Email: gell.sophie@gmail.com
Chris Sturgeon, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Has built a functioning 6" underfloor RMH in his greenhouse, and would be happy to give assistance to others.
Steve Fairbairn, Regina, Treaty 4 lands, Saskatchewan, Canada. Has built 6-inch, 8-inch RMH and a 8-inch batch box. Beenhired to put on a 2 day workshop which we built 8-inch RMH in a greenhouse. Can be seen in the innovators RMH DVD where he worked under Tim, building the oven, water heater and the griddle. Always glad to help people with there RMH.

Satamax Antone, French side of the Italian border, 3 hours from Marseille, 1 hour from Grenoble. 1 hour from Torino. Grumpy old fart, who only does what he wants, when he wants. Hard to deal with. But if your project tickles his fancy. The outcome might be real nice!

Do you have some contact info so we can get hold of You?
It's probably better to PM, I would think? If the interested party wanted to contact a builder, they could PM the builder, asking for information or a contact email.
That way, the builder's information stays safe from random people searching the web for people to spam with emails.

I'm working on mine this week in Northern Lower Michigan. Good to know someone in my state has done them. I'm going to get the J-tube done this week, Mass frame and the exhaust work. Should be an adventure!
The other is located in Belgium, one of the earliest adopters of batchrocket designs. Warmte op Maat, builder Joris Pouls. Website: http://www.warmteopmaat.be/. In Flemish.
I'm more than happy to help someone out. I have my 8" J tube with a piped mass, (several rebuilds on the core) and my 8" J tube into a brick bell.
Two batchbox builds a 6" and a 7". May 2024, Stating building the just released Peter Berg Shorty core.
Is there anyone in or near Pennsylvania who is skilled in building an RMH? My husband and I will be purchasing a new home in the next year or so, and we'd love to have an RMH, but absolutely don't have the skills to build one ourselves. A masonry heater would be another option.
Emilie - I am near Binghamton NY, probably 2-4 hours away depending on exactly what you mean by central PA, and would be happy to discuss your project to see if we are a good fit to work together. PM if you want to.
Easy to Purple moosage a member.
To start click on Glenns name.
This will take you to his Bio page.
In the top right you will see a piece of pie, an envelope and an option to follow that persons posts.
Simply click on the envelope and you will get to the moosage page!
You should be able to send Glenn a message there.
Sky Huddleston at rocketheater.com in MO builds the UL listed Liberator. It is a metal rocket installed as a code approved wood stove (it works with up to 12' of thermal mass bench and comes with a non-electric pellet feeder). I have one and I've tested it extensively and it does the job. If you tell him Uncle Mud sent you he will give you $100 off.
Zhivko Stefanov of gamera.eu in Bulgaria builds the Gamera rocket heater in 3 sizes. It has a ceramic core and glass viewing and cleanout door and is a fantastic work of art. I'm testing one right now and I love it. It is certified for sale in the EU but not yet in the US as of March 2020 even though it is almost the same process to get it UL listed and EPA approved as it was to get it EU approved. You can get one but with air freight and customs it is not cheap (about $2600 USD). Tell him Uncle Mud sent you and he will expedite the process if you really want to import one. It does work very well with a thermal mass bench or a water jacket or a cooktop.
Anyone know of a rocket mass heater builder in NSW or QLD Australia? Started work on a remote earth sheltered house on mid north coast and have always wanted to incorporate one.
I have built a RMH and multiple outdoor rocket cooking devices in Delaware County NY, somewhat near Eastern PA. I'd love to build one for someone or help out. Email: gell.sophie@gmail.com
You can add my name to the list if you would like....
I may not be able to do a hands on build, since i am just starting to build a Hobbit Home ( I see zero free time in my future).
Since I have already had a couple of people contact me through my facebook page asking rocket stove questions, i am here to help.

Hi David, I'm in the Northwest of Idaho...... I need help. Can and will you come North?

I live in a really cool Bermed style house built with a culvert, it's a long tunnel, the heat does not circulate, I need help, possibly a large rocket mass heater to heat 1200 Sq ft.
Hey, this is my first post! Has anyone ever seen someone do a maple syrup evaporator powered by an RMH? I'm ambitiously hoping to get one finished before winter in a sugar shack that also has yet to be built. I want to fit it in a 10'x10' shed, but I think going into more details would probably belong in a separate post.
Yes Benton,
The evaporator pan is the most important bit. You need that big surface area to get rid of the water, not a canning pot. You will also need someone willing to stick around and feed the fire unless you go with a batch rocket design.
