Cob is an amazing material – once it dries, it turns into a rock-solid structure that holds everything together, providing both strength and durability.

We take a closer look at how cob works its magic in rocket mass heaters. From starting as a water-soluble clay to becoming a solid rock, cob plays a crucial role in locking everything into place. We’ll show you how we apply it, rub it into a soup of clay to make it stick, and use it to hold everything, from the barrel lid to the heater structure, securely together.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• How cob transforms into a strong, solid material
• Why properly applying cob makes all the difference in strength
• Locking the cob into place for long-lasting stability
• Aesthetic improvements after the functional build


 
I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiments. Or a tiny ad:
