Here is my submission for the Rocket - Sand - Start and Operate a Batch Box Rocket BB.

As the SkIP event winds down, I headed to Cooper Cabin to light the rocket batch box there.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:

       o pic of starting materials, PROPERLY placed in the batch box before fire
       o pic of fire started to warm the riser - at the back (left) of the batch box
       o pic of additional wood added
       o pic of even more wood added

While at Wheaton Labs for the 2022 Rocket Mass Heater Workshop, I started the batch box RMH in the classroom. It wasn't too cold outside so it wasn't necessary to add more wood within the hour but I did add more wood almost exactly 2 hrs after taking the first picture of adding wood. I also went outside to prime the exhaust to ensure that there wouldn't be a cold plug.

I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen brought to sample.

This is the batch box rocket mass heater in the classroom at Wheaton Labs.  Works great! In my florida opin this was needed on this rainy day. It was about 50deg in the building before lighting this heater.
