On the road until Saturday night as a trucker, but will look for a pic or two on my phone. I built it about two years ago and is our primary heat source in winter.
We do have a propane wall heater that we supplement with a bit when really cold for long periods of time… and I got 2 Antminer S9’s and configured them as space heaters this winter… but, even buying hardwood sawmill trimmings from a local Amish sawmill, the RMH costs about $8-10/ year to run all winter! 😍🥰
#permies #rocketmassheater Maybe not the neatest pics, but one shows the brick bell and wood feed. The other shows a rack I threw together to hold maybe 7-10 days worth of wood if burning 1-2x daily, and the brick bench.
If/when I redo it, will rebuild it as an 8” system instead of 6”, and make the bench a little longer but a fair amount wider, to capture and hold more heat. So efficient though! 😍 My wife even says it is really easy to light and after not being too sure about it in the beginning, now she just loves it!


Thanks, very much appreciated!
Yeah the cost of running it is so low, I intend to build one and would be able to run it on olive prunings.

Cool! Looks nice and tiny, I like the design. I have a tiny house but I would also choose 8" I hear Paul Wheaton repeating how much better it runs, and, am hoping for the added mass to help cool in summer. But we'll see, still sokewhat further in the future...
