Has anyone put a rocket mass heater into a tipi?
We have realized we won't have a house built by winter, and we bought a tipi.
We can just heat it with a fire pit, but like the idea of using a lot less wood, and love the idea of making a heated bed.
Our eventual plan is to build a house and use the tipi separately (not on our winter location). At that point we would move the tipi and build a guest house around the rocket mass heater (out of earthbags or whatever).
I'm just wondering about the draw, etc. I know with a regular wood stove folks either insulate the stack or cut it off 3-4' above the stove. Wondering what mods would need to be made to an RMH in this situation...
