Thanks for the ideas!
Does anyone know if there is a way to weather proof cob, if it is outside? I know there are houses made of cob but from what I've read, they do need to have protection from the weather or over a period of time they will begin to deteriorate.
Thanks again!

I'm really new to all of this, so please, be nice
We live in Montana and every winter there is the issue of water freezing. Electricity is too far and expensive.
I would love to build a rocket stove for the greenhouse I plan to build and possibly to build one for our house. As I have been researching those items, I was thinking about the stock tanks.
Is it possible to somehow make a rocket stove (and instead of the butt warming seat ) to make a tank that would hold water? I know the issue is using a material that wouldn't disintegrate in the water and elements, and cob would do just that.
Is there any way? Any ideas?
I've seen the youtube videos where there is a fire built in the water in containers but we need something that doesn't need to be babysat and have to light another fire with more and more wood all the time.

Thank you so much for your time and answers! Delci
