I’m using a 300 gallon steel tank as the bell for my
rocket mass heater (think of it as a giant drum.) This will be in my shop on a
concrete floor.
Sometimes the floor sweats when there’s big swings in outdoor temps, so rust has me scared of sitting the tank directly on the floor.
This tank will have some bricks inside around the core for thermal mass so it will be quite heavy.
So the question is, how do I isolate the tank from the floor and support the weight? A few inches is all I’m looking for.
Concrete blocks might wick moisture up from the floor. Maybe concrete blocks or clay bricks treated with sodium silicate waterglass?
Thanks for brainstorming with me.
