My first RMH attempt

Assembled the J channel this morning and a black lung later we have sucess.

Had to put an artificial draw at the top of the heat riser and its been burning nearly smoke free for over and hour.

This is gonna be FuN!!

Will post pics whrn i get back the house

Put the steel drum over the J and was able to maintain 240 f with short spurts about 380 f.

Now its time to get serious and get out the mortar amd insulation.
