PART 1: THE WOOD HEAT BUNDLE
Better Wood Heat + Wood Burning Stoves 2.0
Eight movies exploring how rocket mass heaters work, how people build them, and the many ways to put that heat to use. All eight are included as HD streaming videos for instant viewing.
• Use less firewood. Efficient combustion and stored heat can help you get more warmth from your wood.
• Keep the warmth around. Thermal mass stores heat and releases it gradually.
• Build with practical materials. Explore cob, pebbles, and other approaches to storing heat.
• Put fire to work. See ideas for space heating, cooking, and more.
• Get comfortable. A heated bench brings a whole new meaning to sitting by the fire.

Better Wood Heat — four movies
1. Cob Style
Meet the reliable cob-style rocket mass heater. Follow a couple who spent a winter in a tipi heated by a rocket mass heater, including temperatures of 26 below, and see how they stayed comfortable.
2. Pebble Style
Watch the construction of three pebble-style rocket mass heaters. This approach is easier to take apart and move than traditional cob construction, and these builds are generally lighter.
3. Shippable Core
Explore an early shippable-core prototype and a variety of techniques for building one.
4. Innovators Event
Join rocket mass heater innovators for a variety of builds: a circular heater with glass that lets you see the burn; an outdoor heater, cooker, and smoker; a batch-box heater; and an indoor rocket stove, griddle, and water heater.
Wood Burning Stoves 2.0 — four movies
The first four-movie set created by Paul Wheaton and his merry band of rocket mass heater innovators introduces fire science and explores what these systems can do.
1. Fire Science
Ernie and Erica set things on fire in all sorts of wacky ways. These experiments lay the foundation for understanding how rocket stoves and rocket mass heaters work.
2. Sneaky Heat
Follow the experiments behind a rocket mass heater design and the development of a shippable core.
3. Boom Squish
Named after the podcast discussions about the dangers and strategies of alternative hot water, this movie brings together Ernie and professional alternative hot water installer Caleb Larson to discuss steam, flash point, vapor lock, and how to approach these systems.
4. Hot Rocket
Can a few twigs outperform a huge propane turkey cooker? Follow the experiment with J-tube rocket stoves, then explore small homemade cookstoves and several pocket rocket designs.
2 hours and 18 minutes of rocket mass heater experimentation and practical projects.
Follow a team of experts as they build, test, and develop rockety contraptions for heating, cooking, and even a sauna. See the projects in action and explore the many ways these systems can put wood heat to work.
Watch the movie trailer:
The Six Free Heat 3D Plans
Go from watching the projects to exploring how they're built. These digital 3D plans include step-by-step instructions for:
• A pebble-style 8-inch J-tube rocket mass heater.
• A solar food dehydrator with rocket boost.
• A coaxial heat exchanger.
• The rocket cooktop with Lorena option.
• The tiny-house cob-style rocket mass heater.
• The sauna rocket heater.
Rocket Mass Heater Heat Risers Ebook
Written by Paul Wheaton and Chris "Uncle Mud" McClellan, this ebook gathers practical heat riser information in one place: how to build one, which materials to use, how much to spend, and how long different options may last.
22 pages • PDF • Updated summer 2022
Heating Greenhouses Using Rocket Mass Heaters
With Uncle Mud, featuring Paul Wheaton
In this 1.5-hour webinar plus Q&A, rocket mass heater and cob-building specialist Uncle Mud walks through what you need to know about heating a greenhouse with a rocket mass heater.
Chris "Uncle Mud" McClellan teaches natural building through hands-on projects with houses, pizza ovens, and woodstoves. Learn more at unclemud.com.
Modular Rocket Engine 3D Plans
Follow step-by-step 3D plans for the rocket engine component of a modular rocket heater, developed with Uncle Mud through the Low Tech Laboratory initiative and the 2022 Permaculture Technology Jamboree.
These plans cover the rocket engine component. Plans for additional modules, including the kiln and rocket hot tub, are sold separately.
The Freaky Cheap Heat Movie
Follow three heating projects from the world of rocket mass heaters:
• Rebuilding a rocket mass heater in a library.
• Creating a batch-box rocket heater for a workshop.
• Installing a 6-inch J-tube rocket mass heater in the red cabin.
See the builds, the decisions behind them, and practical approaches to getting more warmth from wood.
One big bundle. A whole lot of rockety possibilities.
