    Summary

    From the Introduction:
    "For nearly every global problem, there are solutions we can implement in our backyard that also save us money and help us live more luxuriant lives. A few of us do these things and bask in the glow of the opulence and extra cash. Others observe and think "I want extra luxury and money too! Not fair!” and then they emulate. And on and on it goes. Then the global problems sorta just dry up and blow away. That’s what this book is all about.

    I think the reason we see so many people angry is because they authentically care. But they seem to get stuck at being angry. Some people spend a hundred hours a week for 20 years being angry and not much changes. But I think that if you spend a tiny fraction of that time doing the things mentioned in this book, your global positive impact will be a thousand times greater."

    About the Authors

    Paul Wheaton:
    Paul Wheaton is a giant doofus who is bonkers about permaculture. He won’t shut up about permaculture. On and on, every day . . . it’s annoying. He has gone so far as to make a 3-DVD set that is just about the earthworks for permaculture gardening. And not only did he make a 4-DVD set about rocket mass heaters, but he made ANOTHER 4-DVD set about rocket mass heaters. Why on earth do people need 8 DVDs about something so simple? If you think that is ridiculous, take a look at his 177 hours of video of a full Permaculture Design Course, and Appropriate Technology course. Then there’s the cards. Okay, the permaculture playing cards are pretty cool...

    Shawn Klassen-Koop
    Shawn Klassen-Koop’s passion for building a better world grew from many years of working at a summer camp. This time inspired awe and wonder for the natural world through many hours camping in the woods, paddling on a lake, or sleeping under the stars. Seeking to solve world problems with clever thinking, Shawn decided to pursue computer engineering as a career, where he learned the importance of good design and strong critical thinking. In time he felt like modern technology was causing more problems than it was solving and started looking for a better way. "

    Free Heat Combo - The Free Heat Movie + The 6 3D Plans Bundle



    Free Heat is a 2 hour and 18 minute film that explores the world of rocket mass heaters, a highly efficient and environmentally friendly type of wood-burning technology. The movie follows the experimentation and implementation by a team of experts working on various types of rockety contraptions. Viewers will see firsthand the innovative ways in which the rocket systems are being used and developed, and will learn about the many benefits of this technology. Whether for heating a home, cooking a meal, or creating a relaxing sauna experience, rocket mass heaters are a versatile and sustainable technology.

    Watch the movie trailer here:



    In the Free Heat 3D Plans Bundle you’ll fine step by step instructions on how to build:
    - A pebble style 8 inch j-tube rocket mass heater
    - A solar food dehydrator with rocket boost
    - A coaxial heat exchanger
    - The rocket cooktop with Lorena option
    - The tiny house cob-style rocket mass heater
    - The sauna rocket heater





    Penned by Rocket Mass Heater authorities Paul Wheaton and Chris "Uncle Mud" McClellan and updated Summer, 2022, this eBook features a heap of information about heat risers - how to build one, what to use, how much to spend, how long it'll last.  All this info for the first time in one place! Pages: 22 - Format: PDF


    Heating Greenhouses using Rocket Mass Heaters with Uncle MUD ft. Paul Wheaton


    Uncle Mud (aka Chris McClellan) raises free-range, organic children in suburban Ohio. He has been using natural building as his soapbox to preach self-reliance and community empowerment, since 2004. Building houses, pizza ovens, and woodstoves with mud and junk is his way of sharing the Can-Do spirit. He writes, teaches workshops and hosts a mud pit and DIY building demonstrations at Fairs across the US. unclemud.com





    In this in 1.5 hour webinar PLUS Q&A you will have the chance to learn with a professional rocket mass heater and cob building specialist who will walk you through step by step what you'll need to know in order to build an efficient greenhouse powered by a rocket mass heater.



    This step by step 3D set of plans serves as a comprehensive guide for constructing a modular rocket heater, detailing the rocket engine component specifically. This innovative design was developed as part of the Low Tech Laboratory initiative and at the 2022 Permaculture technology Jamboree by the instructor Uncle Mud. Please note that the plans for additional modules, such as the kiln and rocket hot tub, are provided separately.

    This movie takes you on an educational journey into innovative heating solutions. We focus on three main projects:
    Rebuilding a rocket mass heater in a library, creating a new batch box rocket heater for a workshop, and installing a 6-inch J-tube rocket mass heater in the red cabin.
    Join us to see how these groundbreaking yet practical heating designs work. They're not just efficient, they're also very cost-effective.
