RMH for a high tunnel

I've been reading through this thread and visited this site for design help to build a heater for my 22x96 high tunnel where I will be putting my herb cuttings and seedlings over winter.  No electricity is available up there at the moment, and I don't know that it will ever be.

So i have two questions.

First, how can I design the machine to expand to heat a second high tunnel of the same size?  Is that even possible?  They'd be placed end to end with about 15' in between.

Second question is how else can I use the unit (obviously in situ) during the other 7-9 months of the year?  Can I design in a secondary use for the off season?  I'm thinking of an oast/dehydrator or kiln...

Thanks for thinking about this with me.

 

Hi Nissa;
Yes, Eric has built himself a very nice RMH.
If he can heat his greenhouse, you can too.
As you know from reading at Batchrocket EU, these stoves can be sized up as large as you care to build.
I would have two separate stoves, one in each greenhouse.

What size and design RMH do you have in mind?
A traditional Batchbox?    
One of Peter's new designs?

As far as using them for the rest of the year...
Well, it's really too hot to be burning these in the summer, but I'm sure you can find use for one.

Thanks so much for your response.  I'm not sure what size as I haven't finished reading all of the material on Peter's site.  

I'm sure that I don't want to fire up in high summer, especially with the crazy high temps we've seen over the last handful of years here.  However, I want to make sure I'm making all the use of the machine that I possibly can.  The shoulders of the year seem a good time for that.  The days are cool and the nights can get cold here.
