Rocket Stove/ Rocket Mass
Heaters Forum Threads! You will long remember your 1st few
posts here!With over 17,000 members in a multiplicity of Disciplines/Interests, you will rub shoulders with a wide, or is that a wild range of thoughts on any and
every subject under the sun !
I am afraid that you will have to be very, very, lucky with the lay-out of your house, Did you Include your basement in the Sq. ft. figure? Is there a
solar compo-
nent to your houses layout, or a large Thermal Mass ? Can you share a general location, and your houses Orientation ?!
A few pictures would help a great deal, as would a sketch up, Simple modifications may easily perform a miracle, but though you may get several well meaning
suggestions here, no one can dictate what you have to accept to live with the efficiency and economy a
Rocket Mass Heater R.M.H. !
Attending to the
Dragon that lives in your R.M.H. is a labor of love, and your R.M.H.must be given 'Pride of Place', and any attempt on your part to tuck it away
in an out-of-the-way-corner,
should be a moment of clarity allowing you decide that this heating unit is probably not for you ! Perhaps instead you would like a
Masonry Heater at 10X or 30X the price will convince you to give it the 'Pride of Place' to allow you to use it efficiently, and conveniently !
