5 Things About the Rocket Mass Heater

In which we answer some questions about the rocket mass heater, including a demonstration of the upside down fire and how much smoke is coming out of the chimney.
In real time, it IS SNOWING right now, as I post this, and YES WE DID get the roof on the mudroom in time! I'm going inside to edit and the build videos will be coming out soon.
Our original rocket mass heater informational video is here: • ONE YEAR with a ROCKET...
The RMH construction book we recommend, by Ernie and Erica Wisner, is here (affiliate link): amzn.to/2DuEZcw

About the Fouch Family: We are Nick and Esther, and our three kids Milo, Stella, and Sadie. We have lived off the grid -- in the sense of not connected to the power grid -- for four years on three acres of wooded land in Southwestern Idaho. Nick is a finish carpenter working on building his own business. Esther is a writer, the author of a recent memoir called "What Falls From the Sky," and a daughter of the homesteading teacher and activist Carla Emery, who wrote "The Encyclopedia of Country Living." Nick and Esther were both raised in Idaho, near where we live now, but we've also lived in Massachusetts, Utah, and California. Our kids are ages 10, 8 and 5.
