Hey folks,
We've been working on a rocket heater design for tiny houses and buildings with wood floor structures and walls. Its a rocket heater core built into a small (not so heavy) cob bench with air channels to keep the wood surfaces around it cool.

Enjoy

--Uncle Mud

Nice build, Chris!
A nice, easy-to-follow video series to document it!

Super cool build. I like the small, piped mass bench. Thank you for sharing all the videos!

Weirdly they don’t show up on your channel for me though.
