Rocket Mass Heater Week is October 6th - 12th
- a few of the projects that we will attempt to do
o finishing layers of
cob on the RMH cob hat in the red cabin
o improvements to the RMH in the fisher price house
o a new cob hat for the RMH in bartell's bunkhouse
- gather some materials for cob
Rocket prep week is September 29th - October 5th
- dabble in most of the things happening the following week
- probably a lot more material harvesting (sand, clay and
straw)

Monday through Friday the Permaculture Bootcamp will focus on the Sepper theme of the week! Our Bootcamp High Commander Stephen will be guiding you as you work on rocket mass heater projects!
October 6 - 12, 2024: Rocket week!
Come play with cob and learn about Rocket Mass Heaters!
During Rocket Preparation Week Sep 29th - Oct 5th:
While it is true that you can build a
rocket mass heater largely from materials on your
land and from nature, you do need to know where to look and how to grade and prep the materials.
Sand
We will be harvesting sands from different areas because they have different properties and uses in building rocket mass heaters.
The sands and gravels are the aggregate to give cob structure.
Clay
We will be gathering wild clay.
Clay is the glue and fills in all the tiny cracks.
Straw
We will be gathering knapweed, grass and other dry vegetation.
These are the fibers that hold it all together.
During Rocket Mass Heater Week Oct 6th - Oct 12th:
We have some upgrades we are working on with the Rocket Mass Heaters at Wheaton Labs.
Here are some of the projects we might be working on. The more people that come out, the more fun things we can get done!
This will give you an opportunity to see how a rocket mass heater is constructed, maintained and optimized.
RMH in the Red Cabin:
put finishing cob layers on the cob hat
get signage up
tests
RMH in the Fisher Price House:
needs to have stronger interior supports
rework a part that has some tiny gravel dribble
add juicebox
New cob hat for the RMH in Bartell's Bunkhouse
