My wife and I were in a antique store last night and eyeing up a potbelly stove she asked if i could make that into a rocket stove(pocket rocket) and I actually love the idea. I was thinking maybe a parlor stove because they are larger but is there any reason this wouldn't work instead of a 55 gallon drum? Would the heat be to much for the cast iron?
 
This tiny ad helped me apply for a passport. Denied.
A rocket mass heater heats your home with one tenth the wood of a conventional wood stove
