Fay Day : Welcome to Permies, and a Big Welcome to the Rocket Stoves Forum Threads! You will long remember your 1st post here! 16,000 members can't be wrong
You have said that you have been reading up on the
Rocket Mass Heaters R.M.H.- hopefully you have already found your way to the good folks at - Rocketstoves.com
If not, Please consider going to - ' rocket stoves.com ' - to get your PDF copy $15.
ooU.S.D. of Evans' and Jackson's Great book
'Rocket Mass Heaters' there
is STILL no other book in any language that contains as much "
rocket stove family information''! With the exception of going to richsoil.com (Permies sister site ) and
clicking on Rocket Stoves, it is a bad plan to attempt to follow the videos of builds you see in places like You tube/facebook Etc.
What is your existing floor made of where you want to put your
Rocket Mass Heater R.M.H. ? While the R.M.H.burns
wood very efficiently, without a Thermal mass to
store it in, your heat will just go up the chimney! Will we need to consider some simple modifications to support up to 2 tons of thermal mass ?
I have a beautiful picture of turning the Bathtub over and using it for a double set of 'bells' just after the R.M.H.
Here in the forums you have read where novice builders are told to make up their new R.M.H. outdoors and be sure it works before moving it inside ! To that I would
add that No one
should try to use water for thermal mass on their first build ! Come back here often with your Questions and comments your fellow members will stay
the
course with you to a successful build !
For the Future/Good of the Craft ! Be safe, keep warm! As always, your comments and questions are solicited and are Welcome ! PYRO - LOGICAL Big AL !
