Rocket mass heater on a skoolie?

Hello All,
I am wondering if anyone has considered or has attempted a rocket mass heater in a tiny home/RV/skoolie. I am located in Northern New York and will have a cold winter! I played around with a tent stove in my skoolie and enjoyed the smell of campfire while being heated this past winter. I lived in an apartment and spent time in my skoolie on my raw land when I could. Not sure if my skoolie will become an accessory dwelling as it is currently off the road and semi permanent. It is road worthy with a tune-up. The woodstove I used was a Winnerwell Nomad intended for my Springbar tent. I used it in the skoolie and piped the smoke out through an open bus window. I need to create a more efficient and "breathe safe" option as I would like to use the bus as a dwelling for this fall and possibly the winter. When I purchased the bus it already had bench seat/storage area that I think would make a great frame for a mass heater. I am afraid of too much smoke or creating a fire hazard. I have a lil one and safety is a priority! Any suggestions?

CHEERS!-

Brittney:  The first thing that comes to mind is a 55 gal all in the barrel RMH.  Called the cottage rocket.

  I like this as it reminds me of the "tile stoves" in Europe.

And the original gravel rocket of paul's design is  light (for a rmh)  and transportable, especially if you take it apart and ship the gravel in 5g buckets, by bicycle!

Example:  see why I think it would fit in a schooli?

Thank you...so many ideas! I'm already starting to sort my hearth rock collection!

Personally, I would build an RMH underneath with a thermal break to insulate it from the soil. Park the bus over top, and add side skirts to block the wind. Warm floors make for happy winters!
