DVD 1: Fire science
This is the foundation for understanding how rocket stoves and rocket mass heaters work the way they do and where Ernie and Erica Wisner set stuff on fire in all sorts of wacky ways.
DVD 2: Sneaky heat
The wood burning stove built in this DVD is the result of a collection of experiments that led to a rocket mass heater an order of magnitude better than any previous rocket mass heaters.
DVD 3: "Boom squish"
Named after a series of Paul Wheaton's podcasts with discussions about the dangers and strategies of alternative hot water. Caleb Larson and Ernie Wisner talk about how to do this right. Caleb is a professional alternative hot water installer and is very familiar with the explosive properties of steam, flash point and vapor lock.
DVD 4: Hot rocket
They set out to prove that a few twigs can outperform a huge propane turkey cooker with J-tube style rocket stoves. Other rocket stoves feature an L-tube style the requires constant manual feeding. The J-tube style is self feeding. This DVD will also have information on some tiny home made cookstoves, and several different pocket rocket designs.
DVD 2: Pebble style rocket mass heater Watch the construction of three pebble style rocket mass heaters. This style of construction is easier to deconstruct and move than the traditional cob style heaters. They are also better for installing on wood floors as they are generally much lighter.
DVD 3: Shippable core
This DVD shows an early prototype, and some how-to's for a variety of techniques for building one.
DVD 4: Innovators event
This video shows a variety of builds such as: a rocket mass heater shaped in a circle with glass to show the burn; an outdoor rocket mass heater/cooker/smoker; a "batch box style" rocket mass heater with measured output cleaner than anything we have ever encountered; an indoor rocket stove, griddle and water heater.
Rocket Ovens DVD
A rocket oven runs extremely clean (no smoke), uses very little wood and it will be fully heated in 15 minutes. The first half of the movie shows past builds and designs decisions. The second half shows the latest design being built at a very low cost with only a few tools and no welding.

DVD 1: Cob style rocket mass heater
This is all about the ol' reliable cob style rocket mass heater. Watch how a couple spent a winter in a tipi with only a rocket mass heater for heat, and how comfortable they were. Even at 26 below!
