I first read this article
http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/13/health/iyw-american-indian-lakota-charity-one-spirit-firewood-program/index.html
and then found "mass heaters" on the web.....it looked like a great match
i posting here for 3 reasons
I need help finding a reliable design(s) that is easy for inexperienced people to build who have limited access to tools
i'd love to find anyone who could volunteer to go teach a workshop on the reservation...since i suspect success in building is much more likely if you can learn from someone who has already built one successfully
while they are learning how to build them they're going to be looking for funding so that after a core group learns to build the heaters they can spread out and teach others
this would be a great way to bring mass heaters to national attention...since i'm sure the same reporter would come back and do a follow- up article
thanks for your help...this is a really great site
