Just a dude in Illinois. Researching rocket stoves brought me here, so thank you all who contributed info. Planning on building one soon for my son and daughter, had some questions which I'll post next. Not sure what else to say.

Here we call it Central. Peoria, tazewell, Woodford county area. I've seen areas outside of but bordering the counties also say they're central IL.

I have lived in 5 towns in that region.  Pretty pricey farm land. I am much further south near Mt Vernon.
