HELP! I am L@@King for Help to find any one of several
RMH Construction videos showing using the Lid of a 55 gallon Drum used to Spot the correct location and
Perimeter of the Barrel, and the RMHs Burner Base. THis will also make creating the Manifold and the Transitional area much easier, and outline the final Keyhole
Footprint !
Several people have built-up their Brick combustion core, stoping when level across the bridging bricks over the Burn Tunnel and also across a base layer of the
Heat Riser.
This allows the lid from a 55 gallon barrel to be used to find and mark the best location for 1) The overturned barrel to mate with the matching top of the outer
ring of the manifold,2) Check size and scale of the Manifold, 3) Locate areas for additional insulation, both inside the manifold and to cover the manifold, 4) Check
final thickness and location of Cob/
Cob and Brick outer shell, and final Keyhole Shaped Footprint of the RMHs Burner Base!
I have seen at least two versions, 1) done outdoors, probably at a weekend
workshop. 2) another where this Technique was used in finding the Correct location of
the Burner Base Keyhole in a
Greenhouse, the
Greenhouse May have been unfinished when the
RMH build was documented.
Ether of these Videos would make a good visual aide to get a hard to explain point across!
I expect that just like at the weekend workshop it will save hours of
finding and checking the layout and quickly catch missteps. Especially for any 1st time builders !
I promise to give a well earned
Apple for whoever tracks down a good
video showing this, or a series of pictures showing this, and adds a Tread Extension onto
this
thread
For the Good of the Craft ! Big AL
