Oh if i already messed up. I'm new to any kind of computer chat.
Ok this is what i'm looking at doing.
I' am looking at making a cabin with 500 SqrFT of living space. I plan on putting a potato celler under it from floor to ceiling about 6'. I would like to put a
rocket mass heater down there with the mass going up one wall. was looking at the going up through the mass zig zagging through it till i can exit side of cabin.
Has anyone ever put one of these in a basement?
I would like to have a system that has a side air flow or a cap over the feed tube that takes air from outside. Im slightly alergic to smoke mannly cigaret smoke, but this past winter the
wood burner backed up into trailer im currently in well breathing made rough. I just want to make it so if there was a backup i wouldnt get smoked out. even though many things taste good being smoked i dont think im one of them.
But was wondering if i use air from outside threw a tube would it cause a back draft with the fire and make the burn flow backwards?
Just thought it would be best if i asked the pro's
What do you think?
is it possible to put one in the basement and use outside air in and out of this kind of set up.
If i run a 6" air inlet duct from outside, then down a 6' wall to the stove then 6" duct up threw a mass then back up a 6' wall and outside? Would there be
enough air draw to run the system or would it try to run backwards?
Sorry not trying to be complicated.
I saw one of your
online videos on youtube. you were both sitting on a mannly stone mass heater. The riser that was inside this one i think you said it was fire brick? What are you using to hold the bricks in place? I have seen where you installed risers that had steel liners but from what i can see you have to replace those every few years.
Do you have the same problem with fire brick risers?
Sorry if this is in your videos. If so just let me know, i will buy the dvd's
Trying to learn the most about this stuff as i can, have watch hrs of this stuff on you tube, Now i found stuff on making cast mass heaters.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
