Hey Michael;
I couldn't get your link to open.
I can tell you that if you want a
Rocket Mass Heater.
In my opinion, it is better and easier to just build one.
Modifying conventional stoves has been done but it can be a less than optimal result.
Most
RMH's are built for $200-300 .Some are built for less than $100 . Using the best Ceramic fiber board and blanket AND buying bricks for a bell you could spend $1000 maybe...
Oh and the
RMH builders guide is less than $30 brand new at Amazon.
