![]() ![]() Next one is to direct the chimney inside the house?! This leads us to the “Mass Heater” phrase… The heat is first released out of the metal barrel, which induces a lot of conduction and of course then a lot of heat, that radiates out. This is the rocket stove itself.īut it would be such a waste of energy not to direct that strong heat into the house… So better to store it through different processes: It creates such a strong draft that the fire can burn horizontally without pushing smoke back, also it makes a purring noise, and this is the reason why it’s called “rocket”. To create a sufficient draft for the chimney you need this vertical part that is in the barrel. It then increases the amount of combustion (98% for RMH against 60% for most a wood heating systems) and burns out the creosote. The change with RMH is that the fireplace itself is insulated, so the fire reach higher temperatures (1000☌) than a standard fireplace or stove. The principle of the rocket stove itself is logical: people generally insulate their chimney to avoid a deposit a creosote (non combusted waste that can create chimney fire). ![]() Natural building, in all its aspects makes senses, it’s inspired by traditional knowledge and the good aspects of nowadays technical explosion. In most of cases it is shaped with vertical fireplace, a barrel and then a cob (mixture of sand, clay and straw) bench. ![]() It was not even a question not to build a rocket stove here.Ī Rocket Stove Mass Heater is a stove, yes, but it has some differences with most of the stoves you know. I’m Alex, a Service Civique volunteer in GAIA Kosovo, most precisely in Bozevce village situated in the South-East part of the country. In this place we are trying to implement our Permaculture Design, which also means energy efficiency ( Use and value renewable source and services). Building a rocket stove, why? For so many reasons this is revolutionary creation! Most of people I’ve met that did not know about RMH got seduced really fast… So did I! Actually, at the beginning it’s quite hard to believe that this metal barrel, and this soil bench can heat, and heat really efficiently. ![]()
