Here is something I find fascinating, and I'm eager to see if it works as well as they say.  This is the Rocket Mass Heater. Here is the wikipedia def:  A rocket stove mass heater or rocket mass heater, is a space heating system developed from the rocket stove, a type of efficient wood-burning stove and the masonry heater. Wood…

I'm thinking of building a rocket mass heater. I've been thinking of what I could incorporate into the system. I'm thinking I could add an oven, and maybe...

http://www.BigelowBrook.com/donateI changed the design of my rocket mass heater so that it could run longer and I no longer have to shut it down to clean out...

Even though this system has been developing under the posted heading , I felt it necessary to re-post it under this new heading because it has truly evolved into a successfully operational mini rocket mass heater. BUT, now that I have proven to her that I can effectively heat the house with a scaled down unit, I have been given the go-ahead to develop a 6" system that can go in the basement and tie into the central heating system.

I spent way too much time yesterday trying to figure out how to get the rocket radiator to work and .  as I am trying to mash the solution into the problem space . 90 minutes?  And taking it all apart would take .  60 minutes?.

Well I've looked around for a few weeks now about these and have not found anything small enough to be placed in a fireplace and light enough to be moved around to various rooms. I will post pics as I go along, which should be today.

I went out and got the Rocket Mass Heater builders guide which let me tell you is the best. Anyways I just thought id share some pictures before I cob everything since I have had a lot of help from you guys in this forum and it has been very much appreciated by me ☺

A little off topic but it might save tractor use in hauling and splitting fire wood. My question is has anyone seen used or know of these heaters. I Google...

I'n the following link is a sketch of my in floor rocket mass heater with air intake located in the composting toilet unit and the exhaust running beneath adding heat aswell to aid in composting. Please post suggestions so I can refine this design.

A few years ago I went to Ernie and Erica with the idea of a shippable core. How do you connect it to the mass?

Many thanks to many people for uploading videos of rocket stoves designs, problems, and re-designes. Is anyone doing detailed testing of RMHs?

This is an April 2016 Blog Post on how we built a Thermal Mass Rocket Stove at Jordan Rubin's 'Heal the Planet Farm'.  Bill Wilson We call it ...

I'm planning on building this system 1 week from today. Can anyone see red flags or issues I might run into based on the following images?.

How to Build a Rocket Mass Heater: There are two main factors that differentiate a Rocket Mass Heater (RMH) from a regular wood-burning stove. One is that the combustion that takes place is far more complete in an RMH, due to the increased draft and insulated burn chamber. An RMH can…

Even if the name sounds pretty high tech (I mean the Rocket part), Rocket Mass Heaters are not complicated and in certain situations, it may cost next to

This workshop will focus on heating water in a safe, zero boom-squish manner . We hope to see you there!

Here are some of the pics I captured during my time at the pyronauts workshop and a I write about my experience there. What an amazing workshop - thanks Paul and Jocelyn for being amazing hosts.

Here is a list of all the rocket mass heaters and rocket stoves at wheaton labs. This was a one time thing so we could what it looked like inside the barrel.

FINALLY got started on the Rocket Mass Heater in the Tiny house Here is the first half of the build up to putting in the Stove pipe.2nd half of the build her...
