than Hoahs ! Welcome to
Pemies.com / richsoil.com, and the Rocket And
Wood Stoves Forum Threads. With 28,000+ Fellow Members you

to come here 24 / 7 and talk to someone who wants to talk about what you want to talk about ( We have a forum for that !)
Because we Heavily insulate completely around the combustion core of our
Rocket Mass Heaters Base We see Temperatures in the 2,000ºF range, at those temps
all iron and steels are subject to High Temperature Hydrogen Attack, and Hydrogen/Steam Embrittlement and will quickly fail ! Save your 8'' stuff for launching
your 'foo-gas'!
Oh ye of little faith, add a slope angle if you want to, it is unneeded in a well made
Rocket Mass Heater RMH.
The vertical feed tube allows us to create a micro environment where the bottom ends of our wood fuel pyrolyze releasing the flammable wood gases creating
their complete combustion just inches away at such high temperatures that we have a very clean burn with zero
Carbon Monoxide and zero Creosote, a chimney
fire is impossible where there is nothing left to burn ! Plus as the ends of your wood fuel is consumed the Vertical Feed guarantees that the rest of your wood is fed
down into the burn tunnel through gravity, You will quickly learn to monitor the the background throaty purr of the Happy 'House
Dragon' in your RMH adding more
fuel as needed -with no more thought than refolding a topo map to show your present location !
As with any new training exercise you want a safe location to breakin the troops, it is highly recommended that you practice your initial build outdoors, here the
cell phone camera is your biggest support tool, instantly letting you figure out why your second layout does not look like your 3rd !

Rocketstoves.com to Download your PDF copy of the 3rd Edition of
Rocket Mass Heaters,

were made following this book, this will quickly bring you 'up to speed' giving you the simple vocabulary needed to discuss your build with your fellow Rocketeers
high speed, low drag, conversations understood by both parties as you describe Sizes, shapes, materials and orientation of parts both to themselves and the whole
