This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Sand badge in Wood Heat.

Operating a wood burning contraption is a bit more hands-on that using a gas furnace.  Let's get some practice with wood heat!

You may be able to also get a BB in the PEP Rocket badge for this work as well.

And here's Ernie starting a rocket mass heater:


Minimum requirements:
  - Start and operate a wood stove or rocket mass heater for an hour
  - Starting dead cold

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The wood burning stove or rmh you're starting with
  - Kindling, paper and other fire making supplies ready to go
  - Fire started
  - Wood added
  - More wood added
 
You learn how to close your eyes and tell yourself "this just isn't really happening to me." Tiny ad:
