Hi,
new to this forum] as a poster, but have found a lot of great info here.
we recently built a RMH for our greenhouse. the greenhouse is small and has a small aquaponics system in it.
the RMH fire does not burn sideways unless we help it - which currently means using a vac for pulling the exhaust for the entire burn. the subsequent issue is that the exhaust is very hot. so, its more like a somewhat lame wood burning stove that isn't heating our greenhouse too much.
some info:
the stove is built of non mortared bricks, the vertical portion is 8 bricks high. the cumbustion chamber is a metal trashcan. the inlet is small, a brick wide. the exhaust run is about 6 horizontal feet which goes to the outside where it T's into a 4 foot vertical run. the mass is chicken wire wrapped exhaust covered in bags of sand.
I have a lot of theories on what could be the cause, I'm just hoping that its not everything, and we can make this setup work with some modifications through the winter and consider a rebuild (*if necessary*) next summer.
any and all feedback is welcome!
Thank you!
