This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Rocket.

This BB requires you to start a rocket hot water heater and get the water temperature over 140 . You are not required to build your own rocket hot water heater but you will need access to one.



Some threads on Hot Water with a Rocket Heater:
  - Rocket Hot Water Heater the SAFE Way
  - Rocket Mass Heater Hot Water
  - Rocket Stove Hot Water for Hot Tub
  - Rocket Stove Heat Water

How a Rocket Hot Water Heater Works




To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide:
  - 6 pictures
       o pic of starting materials before fire
       o pic of fire started
       o pic of additional wood added
       o pic of more additional wood added
       o pic of water sample being extracted
       o pic of water sample temperature being measured at 140 degrees F or more

Aloha!

While at the 2019 PDC / ATC I was able to make hot water in the non-pressurised water tank. The hot water was for doing the dishes. It was quick and easy!

I'm here at Wheaton Labs for the 'Soil Magic week but since I'm here I'm smashing out BBs with the help of all the boots and Fred!

Here is my attempt at the BB using the Rocket Hot Water for the showers!

These are my starting materials.



These are my starting materials before starting the fire.



These are my starting materials after starting the fire.



This is after I added some wood.



This is after I added even more wood.



This is a picture of me extracting a water sample.



This is me measuring the temperature of the water sample I took, which is above 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

And I took maybe 30 pictures, and I have a lot of trouble uploading pictures from my Android and I missed some. I kept selecting the ring one our of hundreds of tiny thumbnails and then having to back and accidentally deleting the one I got, sigh.

Here are the photos I should have had before- the supplies for the hot water making. I'm sorry I didn't notice! At least I still have all the pictures! Better late than never?

Hello there!
While at the 2019 PEP Jamboree, I ran the rocket water heater at the shop:
