@MotherEarthswarrior I've heard about them, but I have yet to see anyone use a rocket stove on a large scale. Have you used one ? Or can you show me someone who has used one to heat a large greenhouse? I'm more than willing to try it if I can find some better info.
Nice setup! I have a couple pointers if you're interested. First, be extremely careful placing your wood around the stove. All it takes is a small hot coal to start a huge fire. Second, you don't have to burn only seasoned Oak. Start your fire and when it burning well, throw in your unseasoned wood on top, close dampers not quite completely closed and the fire will burn all night and maybe part of the next day. When you open the drafts in the morning it will take off just like seasoned wood.
@mrbr549 Thx. I learned a great deal over the winter. I've got a video put together that I'll upload soon, maybe today, of all the things I learned and the changes I made. Gonna PM you with rest of response.
take a 25 gal cut out the top barrel and weld the 25 inside and put a fan bloing thru it that will do the trick and save you wood

@MotherEarthswarrior I looked at those, but theres no followup. They never showed a completed system. Still looking around.
