I live close to good cheap anthricite, but I did not grow up burning it, and my only knowledge of it's use was last winter with my antique, low efincy stove. I've converted to RMH, and have some leftover coal that I'm experimenting with a handful at a time.
It seems to me, that anulything that will burn, can go in a RMH. I guess we'll find out.
If you don't hear from me in 24 hours. Send in the fire dept.

Not worth it?
If we all lived naturally, in tiny home type environments, wouldn't it still be better to save nature in any way possible?
When I get the opportunity to build my tiny house, you can bet that I'll have found a way to have an Eco friendly heater.
Water seems to be scientifically the best heat sink. It's also easily dumpable and refillable. I'll have to design my tiny house doors wide enough to store the barrels inside for transport. I just need a trailer now

I did a search, seems that anyone talking about coal is in reference to the coals of burned wood.
Has anyone burned coal in their RMH?
Pros? Con's?

has anyone done a small rocket mass furnace for a small home, particularly for a "tiny home" like those built on trailers, around 100-200 square feet?
I cant find any resources the way I'm searching.
thanks for any advice and direction.

I totally appreciate your reply, and I do understand the 6" system. But I like to tinker and experiment.
I want mass, and I want a small portable system for easy removal and small indoor space saving usage.
My ultimate goal is to find a way that "tiny homes" or trailer homes, can have a small efficient mass wood stove that fits in the small footprint of their dwelling.
For now, I'm playing with a 4" unit and I think I've figured out the stack, but I'm wondering about the burn tunnel length.
Perhaps someone knows about small "tiny house" systems...
thanks again for any and all responses.
I can take constructive criticism.

Hello, I should have joined this sooner and asked for advice sooner. but I usually experiment before I ask.
Anyway.
I'm trying to construct a smaller than usual stove for a smaller rental home, kind of like cabin size, and I am trying to use a 4" exhaust.
I only finally found a post about how important the diameter of the riser is, and that is finally doing the trick.
has anyone built a 4" system? other than pre molded?
I am documenting my process, sizes, and errors to help people in the future, but I'm still trying to finalize this right now.
