This April Learn to Make A Thermal Mass Rocket Stove in Stelle, Illinois

Posted by Ernest Rando about 11 years ago

All Day Workshop – Sunday, April 14th – at Midwest Permaculture, Stelle, IL

All Day Workshop   –   Sunday, April 14th   –   at Midwest Permaculture, Stelle, IL

Price – $95 – Includes Workshop and Lunch.                                            Register Here – Limit 24

Standard wood stoves waste much of the heat and wood energy when they burn, with much of it going up the chimney as hot smoke. A  burns more efficiently – converting nearly all of the fuel into CO2 and water, including the smoke. It also stores it’s thermal energy in a “battery”,  a bench that stores the heat from the fire and releases it slowly over the course of the day.  The stove can burn both logs and scrap wood and the best part is that it can heat the same space as a regular wood stove with 1/4 of the wood!

You can learn more about rocket stove mass heaters in our “Thermal Mass Rocket Stoves on our Minds…” on our blog.
