Boom,squish only happens with pressurized systems yes? Because I already know about the dangers envolved with that if you don't know what you're doing, and I don't.

I was thinking of copper tubing coiled around the exhast. One end coming from the bottom of my current hot water tank, and the other going to the top.

My fan over the stove has never worked in my RV, so I was hoping to go with something like the Justa stoves used in Honduras. My biggest fear is that I don't have the space.
I might need to take out my stove to see if the metal is going to be enough. It looks to be about an inch of space, but I'd rather not burn my house down.



I live in PNW coastal/mountain area. My RV is mainly stationary. It only moves when I do.


Also thank you for the welcome! I've been reading posts on here, and been on richsoil a lot, especially recently. I love the sharing learning atmosphere here and thought I'd post a few questions that only people who've done it can answer.

I've been reading about RMH for years, but have only recently stumbled upon rocket stoves. My family and I live in a 30' RV and we can't really afford propane. I want to take my propane stove/oven out and build a RS to cook on. It would also be great if I could implement a water heating feature as hot water is also propane powered. I've also played with the idea of adding mass so it would heat my space more efficently.

Now for my biggest problem. I'm not very handy and even after years of study I barely grasp how to build either one of these. As I mentioned before, money is an issue, so I've not bought any books, nor can I afford professional help on this project.

I live in an area with clay (although I have no idea if it suitable for a RS), which is what I'm wanting to build with.

I'll be posting the dimensions of the current stove I have. Also, the reason I'm wanting to squeeze one into this space is there's already metal protecting the wood interior from heat.

Any help is greatly appreciated!


*Note* RMH is typically used for heating, RS for cooking.
