There is now a newer option called the RMH Builders guide by Ernie & Erica Wisner. This book is now the RMH go to book for accomplished builders and first timers.
My green house in northern montana has an 8" J tube and uses less than 5 cords all winter to keep it 40-70 all day and all night with NO FIRE from 10 pm -6 am .... pretty neat huh.
If you are just learning about RMH's be prepared to get the bug ... you'll be up half the night reading ... and soon .... you'll want to become a rocket scientist yourself!
ENJOY !
To land on this Kind Pharm has been a blessing and a curse! May your days be yin/yanged and exciting! May those that meet us leave us with a song and smile! Carpe Diem!

Looks like your down in the Salmon area. To get up to where we are, its a long haul up US 93 . You would be passing numerous RMH's some with greenhouses , including the Wheaton ranch. We are 2 hrs NW of Missoula.
Our greenhouse is actually an artists studio now with nothing edible growing (unless you count the coffee & lemon tree... err bushes.)
We did start out as a working greenhouse but my wife is now more interested in her art than a year round garden.
Visitor's who want to talk rocket science are always welcome.

I don't want to take the thread off track but I just wanted to check this detail. I think south central Missouri is closer to a zone 6.Jay Gore wrote:For context I am in zone 4 south central Missouri with an altitude of approx 1750ft.
