Hi Everyone. I reeeeally want to build a
rocket mass heater for my living room. It's a
wood floor, with typical wood joists and a basement below. (Massachusetts) I want to install the
rocket mass heater in my existing fireplace chimney, but I'm concerned that I'll need (lots of) additional support installed in the basement to carry the weight of a
RMH above it.
Has anyone installed a
RMH in this condition before? What materials did you use to keep the weight load "light"?
Thank you!
