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

This BB requires you to build a rocket mass heater experiments in heating a shop very, very fast!

Minimum requirements:
 - must be a safe rocket mass heater (ideally uses a J-tube design)
 - must increase the shop temperature by 30 degrees in:
     - 20 minutes for shop under 300 square feet
     - 30 minutes for shop over 300 square feet

To get certified for this Badge Bit you must provide proof of the following:
  - 5 pics of the build of the rocket mass heater in progress
  - 3 pics of completed rocket mass heater product
       o overview picture
       o j-tube (preferably)
       o exhaust outlet
  - 2 minute video of starting the fire and proving there are no smoke leaks
  - video of the shop coming up to temp per the minimum requirements
 
And when my army is complete, I will rule the world! But, for now, I'm going to be happy with this tiny ad:
