I have a ticket to a rocket mass heater workshop, very much like the
workshop I captured here:
http://www.richsoil.com/rocket-stove-mass-heater.jsp
AND! I have permission to give it to anyone I want! $225 value! Hot dog!
So I've come up with an evil plot to pass the ticket on to somebody.
Anybody. Maybe you. Maybe not! FEEL THE POWER! BWA HA HA HA HA HA!
A quick recap about rocket mass heaters:
* use 5 to 10 times less wood
* nearly zero smoke
* the heat from one fire can last for days
* the thermal mass cools your home in the summer
* you can build one in a day and half
* folks have built them spending less than $20
It is my obnoxious opinion that this eco-technology completely trumps
all others. This workshop blows your mind in how heat works. With
this new understanding, straw bale construction loses a lot of value.
