Great information though thank you!

Excellent. I love seeing more of these in the world!

Why not make into a tea? Or cook it with food lol 😂😂

What would you use instead of a barrel? Thanks

Mine works for 5 seconds then it cuts off

Hi there, what happened in the end? Does it still working? I was thinking bypassing the swith to see if it makes difference but not sure if the problem is there

I've never seen more confused commenters, but some have a point..... if the video maker was going to do all that showing every single moment for 2 days, 60 seconds of narration explaining a thing or two is not a lot to ask. Here you go, ... the gasses hit the top of the barrel. The gasses exit the barrel and move in all directions, some filling the "hollow" bench with warm air to heat it up and some gasses filling the brick "bell," .....(to our right of the heater with warm air.) The long metal (final) chimney is placed strategically collecting gasses at the bottom to allow gasses to escape the building, hopefully, after warm gasses have moved past most bricks to warm the brick so it can radiate heat for several hours after the fire that heats the upside barrel, is extinguished. The rocket mass heater is made of ceramic fiberboard sold on Amazon.

I would like to see how those 45 gallon drums are after a few years of being exposed to such heat Rusted burn through possibly But what really puzzles me is the fact that this chimney did not go through the slab to the left and there was no fill put in there to contain the heat

Thank for useful video. May I ask: Are you using high density fire bricks for bench/bell or regular building bricks? The large mass of bench back looked to be cob filled, does that sufficiently absorb heat from the small surface area it is in contact with hot gasses in bench or does it have some porting/channeling to help this? Sorry for long message.

C'est nul

U can tell it fake😂

Sisal, yes that is a natural fiber.

i was thinking about cardboard, but also brambles occurred to me. just gotta use gloves.

No entendí nada . La masa ni por donde enciende el fuego y si es del costado donde queda un lugar no está muy cerca de la pared? Y el caño dentro de la estufa. No muestran cuando hacen el conducto de ida y vuelta, entiendo que una J lo demás lo tengo que suponer. Se como se hace pero uno que no lo sepa, no tendría detalles, el video es para mostrar como se fábrica de lejos,.

Instead of music say what is done

I noticed the plan you are using is from Walker Stoves. The building inspector may not like it up against the wall on the end. How is the thing doing now?

What method would you use to eliminate the MASS part of the stove. Do not have room for that size of mass. What would you recommend.

Did this method make you save the amount of firewood you usually used, or did it increase?

Greets from Finland. Rocket mass heater is OK, but as a ignorant northern dweller I must ask where in Australia you do need heating? According to my TV AUS is jungle or hot desert :)

Hi, Any chance you have the reference of the wear item (the "cap") of the old head? I can't find it :-/

How do you get this passed on building regulations? Keen to build one on a new build house.

Why is the riser necessary? Why can't you go straight into the Mass material then flue?

Peter van de berg stated Thad if you have about 5 to 10%og the Total area as a secondary air I let you wil be fine having no smoke , mine is doing great I used about 8%

Do you have temp readings of the bell and the bench after firing vs 6-8 hrs later?

but great otherwise

narration better than repetitive music

Why on earth would you block the window with a row of cinder block? Could have thought this through better.

Do you have any dimensions for manifold and how high is flue inlet off the bottom? Thanks

Not useful as a teaching tool. All this says is: ‘Look what we did!’ This is why time lapse videos are generally a waste of time. Without explanations, tips, warnings, options…why bother?

Good advice and nicely demonstrated👍I'm expecting my Fiskars hookaroon and isocore maul tomorrow and already owns the Fiskars x21 and x27 splitting axes. Solid sturdy tools!

What kind of clay

I like the look of the bench but it doesn't do anything

How do you clean the ashes, left over wood?

Hey, I'm a learner here. And though I have been studying up on these things, I found this really hard to follow and pick up on what was going on, even when slowing down the playback speed. A few words or captions and a better camera angle or close up might help a LOt!

Did you get it passed in aus? Im looking at how to do that in tassy. Also, how long does it hold the heat for?? Thanks for sharing

I like it mate, will be interesting to give it a shot and see how it goes

How is it working for you? Does the bench get hot?

How well does it keep your house warm?

Would love to see a diagram of how the fire exhaust stream enters and exits the bench. I didn't see a run of pipe, so it looks like the bench is a stratification chamber. However, the entry to the bench looks lower than to the masonry bell to the right of the stove (8:40), which is also where the chimney flue is, so wouldn't most of the exhaust stream bypass the bench chamber?

Гарна робота🇺🇦☺️👍

Insulbreak insulation should have been used on that shed with all seems on overlapped 50mm and taped!

Very inspiring video ! The idea of placing burner slightly under the countertop is so convenient and comfortable! Plus it DOES look awesome and clean... Respect.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7Sg5ZpfbKUlck My idea is to convert the first shaft (I'm planning to utilize holes I left in countertop as, on the left: loading and gravity-based fuel loader, on the right: heat riser and meal cooking top) into burning shaft and the second is going to be the heat riser. So far, I am using only the second shaft because I need to seal some gaps in order to maintain draft. What I am also planning is to change height of the burning chamber ! It will be adjustable. Imagine you want to start a fire without bending your spine. You just pull the "fire" up and thus, a length of J-tube gets bigger, which means, you get a longer heat riser without physically building it each and every time. Another thing is that I use a DIY chimney draft generator :D, so it does not matter if the batch box is below the riser entrance or above!!! Just remind yourself of how the bong or j-pipe works!!! Going to be funny!!! Yay

Couldn't a full layer of the cobb mortar be laid down first, before putting the bricks down?

What was the reasoning behind putting the flue next to the bell? Seems it would heat more uniformly if it was at the opposite end 🤔 Did you fill all the bricks for the walls also or just the ones for the bell?

This open bench design has been used for outdoor applications for years in the 🇺🇸 They heat up quickly for entertaining but are not designed to Hold heat long. All that I have been around and built had the flue at the opposite end. Did you extend the riser to match the bell so you could maintain 2-3 inches so it would draft properly?

I wish the person taping the mic would STOP doing that

You recycled your toilet paper? I think you meant repurposed.
