There are holidays for just about everything. Some examples are: International Talk Like a Pirate Day 19 September, National Tuba day 6 May and even a National Celery day 1 March.  I am not a big fan of celery in less it is in a soup or  finely chopped up. So when does it make sense to have this day, week or month?  Does something like this exist already and I am the last one to find out? Any ideas?

so something I would like this day to have would be demonstrations. It would be awesome if RMH were not a thing. What i mean is if they became normal. So it would be really cool if it involved inviting people over to watch/see feel the warmth of the RMH. Pizza party?
Or even some type of parade? or one way to get the point out there.


I keep trying to tell people about how instead of gathering 3 cords of wood every year. They can gather 3 cords of wood over 3 years.

I think it would be tricky picking a time. As in North Dakota it would be much earlier for starting the RMH up than say where I live. North Dakota might be Sept 30th and here it could be even later. California would be even later. If we are going off when the heater was first started for the year.

So maybe a mix between the later date and the earlier date.

I do like the idea of it being when the RMH was first started for the year or something like that. Though some of the draw of the RMH is when the stove is not on. That desirable stored heat.....

Is there a significant date for RMH? When did Ianto first start using them? When did metal in the flame path become taboo?



Another day it could be is a build a RMH date! Not sure how that would pan out. maybe it could be great.

The Masonry Heater Association AGM is april 11-17th.

Yes to pizza party and parade! Beyond that I have no ideas for a date. I think it would be hard to find a day that it was first used but the first week or month may be better.
 
Switching from electric heat to a rocket mass heater reduces your carbon footprint as much as parking 7 cars. Tiny ad:
