A compilation of 12 rocket mass heaters. 8 video clips of rocket mass heaters, 2 video clips of pocket rockets, 1 picture from the cover of the book on rocket mass heaters and one drawing from me making a feeble attempt to explain what a rocket mass heater looks like. And look! A peek at the author Ianto Evans!

  • How are the long pipes (under bench) cleaned out? is there an opening or just use chimney sweep brushes.

  • @keeperoftherealm check the article at richsoil - e have a diagram

  • How do they build those houses?

  • @gorgeousdzastr Slowly. And with great joy.

  • So if you do clean out the ash ...HOW do you do clean it? Some of the stoves have such small openings I couldn't figure out how you would get to the ash without the help of a vacuum cleaner

  • @immatzfati there are several approaches. Some make a pit and empty it once a week. Some don't, and empty it just before each burn. Most people just grab a handful of ash. Some people use a shop vac.

  • @rickyeon I was able to increase the time my barrel chambers last by metering intake air. This allowed me to keep a slower burn going longer, making it easier to use for heating. I got the idea from woodstoves like we used to use when I was younger.

  • So was this filmed in Hobbiton?

  • so nice to see existing heaters. and I really like the idea of the feed being separated by a wall!

  • how long do the 55 gal drums last before they rust out, my burn barrels don't last long at all. There seems to be a lot of heat and wouldn't the bottom of the barrel just rust out, ,Of course the bottom of the barrel is the top.

  • like the house at 3:36
