Cut my finger on this one lol gloves are smart:)
Bought a new pulaski axe first pic shows me pushing my thumb on the factory dull blade. Used a bastard file and whet stone to finish.
It now cuts paper.

Question.
Can I plant the germinated seed for this bb?
Or does it have to be seed in ground?
Sorry if this is silly question (ive never planted a tree seed) but it seems to be better to germinate them first before planting so I want to make sure that's OK for this bb. Thanks 😊

Will be cleaning up the rest of it soon. It was very dull to start and now cuts paper well.
Thanks Mike! This is my first bb

I'm about to cut split and stack 4+ cords of pulled apple wood from an orchard because I can get it for free this way. The wood is already laying on the ground as full trees. Since it's not dead standing wood will this not work for the bb? Thought I'd ask before documenting. Thanks!

I have only had luck finding this one generator brand (  http://heipro.com/plant-oil-generator.htm which does )look great but I want something more local like North America atleast. Has anybody heard of a manufacturer for waste vegetable oil generators?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'll be getting a guide as soon as I can. It was fun to design anyways and maybe I'll still toy around with similar concepts after I build a trusted one to keep me warm! Thanks again everyone, this is the first ever forum I've made anywhere and yall have helped me see the importance of em!

Thanks for the warm welcome Gerry. I intend to do a lot of experimentation and really appreciate the motivation. OK great info sounds like fire bricks may work better for me then. maybe the aircrete could hold up better with a layer of something else the "heat riser" as I think it's called (the thick shaded insulated pipe that connects to fire Box) is a major component im trying to figure out.16 gallon drums would be good size but would burn up maybe if I insulated the The inside pipe with the ceramic fibre blanket you mentioned? The foundation will hopefully be a hard faced aircrete.

So Jordan i should Lower the J tube with wood hole at ground level and J tube level with exhaust entranchere. Does This earlier drawings with J tube underneath the exhaust show a better option as to your point? I Hope im understanding you right. I've heard of Priming spots but don't fully understand them I've shown an idea for the prime spot in picture 4 . This would help for cold start right ?

  Brief setting... In april I will lay an aircete slap, on top I will place a 20×32 military tent in which my experimental RMH will come to life. I am designing for effiecientcy all around including space, fuel, labor, materials and to easily disassemble, modify and fine tune. First question.  Can aircrete be used in the fire box? All my other questions are on this simplified drawing of many other drawings. The lower two questions are in the bell FYI.  The thermal mass wrap around bench is not shown in first image. First image is most accurate and useful. you can ignore writing on other images. Thanks for reading!
