Im wanting to build a RMH for my home. I haven't acquired any plans as of yet. Some of my questions/concerns are as follows
1. i have a walkout ranch style home, built in the early sixties. Not super insulated but not drafty by any means. The foundation is aprroximately 1.5 foot stone and mason. The home is 1200 square feet on both levels for a total of 2400 square feet. Does anyone have experience heating a home this size? Would i be able to install a pebble style RMH in the basement and expect it to warm the entire house radiating through out? The basement currently is only used for utilities and time isnt spent down there. (may change in future but for now)
2. Ive found a market place post for 56 new 9"x4.5"x1.25" fire brick. Is this going to be a proper brick size for constructing my J tube? Would it be part of my supplies or are they not the ideal size?
3. Is there anyone near or within a reasonable distance to the capital of kansas that would be willing to help in the construction and or anyone with leads on materials for a pebble style RMH
4. If i install in the basement is there a wood feed design that would would allow it to burn on its own a bit longer unaided?
Im sure I have many more questions and concerns, just getting the gears going.
Thanks folks
