No, doors are optional.
The original Batcboxes had no door and sometimes a large slab was propped there to keep sparks inside and hold some heat after the fire goes out.
Efficiency may suffer and over-fueling is likely to happen when adding wood.

A plug door of CFB can be used as a temporary door.

So no bell?
Just an open Batchbox?
With the riser venting outdoors?

yeah i originally was interested in RMHs, but i was hoping a Batchbox set up might feel a little more fireplace(y) and be a nice touch for these Maine winter nights. My though was embedded in a central Cob wall that would capture and radiate the heat through the house.

are those metal doors necessary? if i didn't want a bell and instead wanted the load opening to be open, would this be a problem for the dynamics of the operation?

Any updates on this? I would love to participate!

or another thought... how well would Mycelium do in an CEB press?

Hey! been a while and i somehow missed out on these other myco projects! I was in the first original webinar.

I would think hinged forms would be best as you can pull them away to get a full removal. so the base and for walls hinges at the base and bound together. could probably even be 3d printed if the plastic is really the way to go!

Hey guys, we just lost our baby yesterday, so we won't be making it this year, I hope it is a great one and I'll miss y'all. Have a great year until next

However, this fellow is willing to fight it!!! If you have the energy to fight it, sir, I commend you and offer a deep bow of respect.

One option for funding is GoFundMe crowdsourcing. It looks from your last post you may not be using this forum any longer, but I wonder how the fight went?

We worked with the town as my wife is not from here and that house is in her name, the chickens were moved and I brought to the town meetings the issues. They have said they understand but it will be to be litigated, so I will be opening another lawsuit as the town does not have the power to override neither the Constitution nor an unalienable right.
