So I bought a wreck of a house for very little money, after promising myself I would never do this again. It was remote and so cheap.. sucker.!!! There is no heat, but there is five acres of
wood. I have working hydro to the property,
water by the
bucket and composting toilet.
I need heat and want to build a Batch Box, been following
RMH ( forums youtube etc ) for couple of years and feel confident in my ability to build one. My problem is the best position for the heater is a floor area of about 7ft x 6ft, so I started to look at
Dragon style
heaters, then one night about a week ago while mooching on youtube I came across a guy that had built a BBRMH on a small foot print, and the heat conduit instead of metal was made up of using
concrete blocks using just one of the cavities,, the other was blocked off and filled I think, he angle cut the block for the corners and cut holes in them to go up a level, ending in a vent to a chimney...nice idea I thought, so like a fool I didnt book mark it and a week later cant find it anywhere. I would like to do the same and make it into a tower about 8ft high covering the block with
cob as a finish. Does any body recognise the build I described and do you think such a structure could work? I would love some advice
