Hang on my head just exploded, too much info, m-u-s-t s-t-a-r-t b-u-i-l-d-i-n-g. OK. I'm getting most of it, I built a pocket rocket and cooked some food with the kids, and I really want to heat with thermal mass. (By the way the pocket rocket kicked butt, its my new camp stove!) I may not be able to use a rocket thermal mass in my current house but I think as soon as I can I'm going to start testing in the garage. One problem about that is the gas water heater. Pretty sure I'll need to take that sucker off line before I have open flame out there! This is really important stuff, thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom, and middle of the night lucubration. Wait a minute I'm doing the lucubrating! Narf.

You can burn an open flame all day and all night around yer gas
water heater... You just don't want any flammable fumes (like from
gasoline) getting near your open flame gas heater...
Oh yeah , unless you have a leak in yer gas lines.. In which case.......run!
