so i have at least two rocket stoves or RMH's on the docket for this spring, i have all the firebrick I need, i want to make the outside one first before i try to build one inside.
but i'm trying to think up a valid reason to be burning the outside one during the warmer months. i'm thinking of it more or less like a high-efficiency trash incinerator, but it'll produce heat, and i want to use that heat for something useful.
and so i was thinking, i end up with a bunch of aluminum cans thrown in the recycle. maybe i could melt those down. aluminum doesn't rust and i might find a use for those ingots someday.
anyone have experience adapting a rocket stove for this kind of purpose?
