I'm sure the rocket stove experts will be along to help you shortly but in the meantime I've added this thread to the natural building thread. I think they might have some suggestions on something better than foam. Enjoy the permies adventure!
Bath house:
I'm going to make this
Just with 10-20 R insulation and maybe some framing(pvc or car port parts) that is easy disassembly. I need it to handel over night snow fall.
roket stove:
I'm going to put it on a piece of ply wood or thickly laminated particale board type of wood with handles to be slightly mobile. I have a part of a 55 drum and some tin sheeting to make the outside shield. Or I can cut a propain taink(cant realy afor to do this) its not the small one but the medium(8lb ?). Does it mater what material I make the burn chamber, heat riser and the gray areas in my picture with ? Perlite/cement, fire brick, cob and ducting that I can find at hardware store's is the materials I can get. I'l be j b welding the tin to the 55 gal drum. Jb weld can handle up to 500 F. Please fill free to edit any of my picture to further explain ;)
