Thanks for your help guys! I will avoid using my woodburner in the workshop I will build, and instead build a rocket mass heater as recommended.
It sounds like I'll be so happy with the the results that I'll want to put one in the house as well, although I may not because of code and voiding my house insurance.
I appreciate you all helping out,
Clint

I've had a regular wood burning stove for years, but don't like that I have to use so many cords of wood. I do like being able to load it up and not have to mess with it for several hours.

My questions: Do rocket stoves require frequent attention? With a top feed (sticks vertical) would I get a longer burn time?

I did make a small rocket stove to boil my sap but the draw was not good. It did not pull the air in and through the burn chamber. It burned UP the stick until the stick fell out.

Thanks for your help
