We built a really basic brick and cob Rocket J Tube on camera at the Mother Earth News Fair in Topeka, KS this weekend. 69k views so far.

Great Job sharing with the masses !  Of course you are preaching to a very willing mass at a mother earth show...  I call myself a rocket scientist and will preach to any and all who will listen .... sorry to say I think most just listen to be polite... but one person out of a hundred who does hear...

My good friend has a daughter and son-in-law who are missionaries in Guatemala now, and he is well versed at making Rocket Mass Stoves for the poor in that country. I am not sure how many he has made, but last year in a 14 day trip built (5). Their daughter and her husband are now moving to Colombia to do work there, so I am sure that work will continue.

I have not gone with them on a trip to help out, my call is in Moldova, but it is interesting to know that there is a dire need for these stoves in the world for the poor.
