while trying to figure out how to go about creating a rocket heater, my husband and I connected with Tom at Dragon Technology, and are now Light Years ahead in our understanding, confidence and ability to go forward with our build.  

He is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, has two excellent books - we highly recommend!!

Counting myself lucky to be a part of this community, and to have experts and friends here.

a big Thank You to Tom for answering all of our questions, we will be posting pictures as we go.

Great to hear that you and your husband are newly declared rocket apprentices.

There is no substitute to experience when building a RMH and getting it right the first time. Your comments regarding your experience so far with Tom are spot on. Over more than a decade he has built many variations of the theme and knows what works and the pitfalls that loom. Best of all, he is happy to share what works and what doesn't.

Looking forward to seeing your dragon develop and take flight. Keep posting...

I bought the books as well, and they are fantastic.  Thomas was gracious enough to send me electronic copies to read while I waited for the printed books to arrive in the mail.  What a gracious, and unexpected gift.  I owe Thomas a great deal as well, both for the books and for taking the time to answer my questions that may very well be annoying in number :)
 
Can you really tell me that we aren't dealing with suspicious baked goods? And then there is this tiny ad:
