So essentially a masonry pellet stove, with thermal mass to hold and distribute the heat after the fire.

Not sure the fire would be as efficient as a rocket mass heater, but very good anyway.

He does understand the principle of making the fire as hot as possible until combustion is complete, and only then harvesting the heat. His stove is a gasifier, and works best with wood chips or pellets or other uniform organic material. Some of the other types of stoves he shows do work on plain sticks or logs.

I LOVE this video!!! I've watched it 3 times. I speak and understand Italian so it might be a bit easier to grasp. It's an amazing design that uses many of the same principles as RMH.

“They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.” - Isaiah 65:21, 22
