This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Natural Building.

For this BB, you will make a piece of an outdoor classroom with a rumford fireplace!


(source: Pinterest.com)

Minimum Requirements for a piece of an outdoor classroom with a rumford fireplace are:
      - cob bench with roof over the bench
      - 15 linear feet
      - Rumford must include chimney
      - Rumford must heat persons, seated on the cob bench.
      - Firewood storage, minimum of 4 feet cubed,  under cover.

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following:
     - mixing the cob
     - partway through the build of the bench
     - partway through the build of the rumford fireplace
     - finished piece of an outdoor classroom with a rumford fireplace that meets the above requirements
