Hello!
I'm interested in building a
rocket mass heater eventually. I'll be getting videos and
books eventually. I'm not thrilled at the prospect of cutting a hole in my wall, so I had a crazy idea to design a fully indoor
RMH that I wanted to run past someone smarter than me. Would it be possible to harness the small amount of smoke that does exit the RMH?
To my understanding there is a process by which the
wood gas of burning
wood is distilled or harvested. Does all of the wood gas get burned up in rocket mass
heaters, or is there still some residuals that could be harvested at the end of the chimney, thus giving the possibility to design a completely indoor
rocket mass heater? It would be cool to end up with another output besides heat and
ash.... wood gas!
Thanks for helping!
