  • Rocket Stove Heater

    We built a small one today - well, not that small in retrospect!

    I've put the photos and a brief description on my blog...

        I so want one of these for my School In The Wood. Thanks for the inspiration. OH and I have followed your links and talked about how to put one in our house in the future but this is very appealing.

            Looks Great Zaz, I would imagine, with the heat retention from the insulation, that it'd work pretty good at keeping the frost off the GH in winter.

              It would - the only problem is that as the end of the sticks burn - you have to keep pushing them in. So what you would want is a gravity fed one, which has a longer outer tube, which has another elbow that goes up again, and the sticks are sat in that and burn at the bottom.

                  nice job, looking at those vids I noticed the rocket mass heaters, I wonder if they would be any good for heating a greenhouse?

                  I got a woods outside the back gate so fuel wouldn't be a problem
