Rocket Mass Heaters are innovative and efficient heating systems that combine the principles of rocket stoves and masonry heaters. They use a gravity-fed wood chamber, a horizontal burn chamber, and an insulated secondary burn chamber to achieve clean and efficient combustion. Rocket Mass Heaters have a high thermal efficiency, consume up to 80% less wood than traditional stoves, and have lower exhaust temperatures and cleaner emissions. They utilize a thermal mass to store and slowly release heat, making them a sustainable and eco-friendly heating solution. Different designs, such as J-tube, batch-box, cob, and pebble styles, cater to various needs and preferences. While building a Rocket Mass Heater requires careful research and attention to safety, it offers the potential for significant wood savings and a warm home.
