I highly recommend watching the full length video of this project. It’s a master class for this project and how to create a proper DIY video. Thank you for creating and sharing 😎
Awesome speedup. I always check out the sped up version of long videos first, not because I don't want to spend the time, but to add context to the long video as I watch it, because I will already understand what comes next as the full version proceeds.
Honestly you put so much care and attention into your work and video production that I want to help the algorithms get this viewed. The full length version is brilliant too! Inspirational build and videography. Kudos👍
Yeah, that wound up looking pretty cool. I had no idea you would be able to see the moisture leave the Clay when I was time lapsing but I was also very pleased to see how that looked. Thanks for commenting!
Not only have you built this amazig thing, you also have made these two very informative and interesting videos for us to enjoy and to learn from! Very well done thank you! 🙏🔥

@@suburbanbiology nah mate we are in our 40s and still cannot afford to buy a piece of land. And the land is only getting more expensive as the year pass. Sadly I am seeing it is getting further and further away from such dream.
A fine idea! I may incorporate something like this into the Dakota fire pit system that I already have built at my fort in the woods but I'll have to wait until winter because it's too hot right now.
I’ll have to make a follow up video addressing some common questions and showing it operate in more detail. Once it’s warmed up it’s so efficient it doesn’t generate much visible smoke. Thanks!
Fantastic video with great explanations of how to build. Do you think this could work in a green house of plotting to raise seedlings? What's next dude?
I plan on attaching a greenhouse to my porch and this is meant to be the heater for it. So I certainly hope it works in greenhouses ;) Good luck with your projects.
really liked your video, great quality and loved the soundtrack...we especially liked it when you slowed down your voice, perhaps do more in that style! or interspersed with normal. keep audience on their toes.
Probably close to 1500 USD or so when all was said and done. The HVAC duct was surprisingly expensive. I should have taken the time to source it cheaper but I just wanted to move as fast as I could on the project. Thanks!
You make it look reeeally simple. I know better, but I can detect great knowledge when I see it. Thanks for sharing it. I need to do one of these, but close in my porch with used sliding glass doors less the track and put a stove on the slab on the elevated porch. 💪😎👍❤🙏🇺🇸 Thank you. New subbed.👍

“They’ knew about this tech in the old days, particularly in far north of Europe and Russia. Too many vested interests have led us down other paths of expensive heating
Won't that heat the giant drum and not heat the exhaust? I thought that was kinda the point of the rocket stove? the main drum radiate the heat and by the time the air has risen through the j-tube, and then fallen back down, its cooled off? It looks like your hottest air would be at the top of the drum, not radiating through the exhaust tube?
The drum radiates lots of heat but the heat flowing into the duct work is still probably something close to 300 degrees F. Still plenty warm to heat the bench. Thanks for your support!
I've built a dry stack RMH in my back yard for emergency cooking. It works fabulously well. I sourced some fire brick from a local mfg company here in Georgia for mine, because I was very concerned that the red brick would not survive the thousand plus degree heat. Are these fire bricks that you are using?
Yes, I used firebreak from the local building supply company. They didn’t have anything stamped on them but at the time I looked on the website for the manufacturer and they should be rated for upwards of 1000°. I’ve had a couple other comments warn me that they’re not full on refractory bricks. This is my first time working with fire bricks, so I’m kind of ignorant. So far so good. They have held up as far as I know.
Awesome! It looks like a very professional job. We have a lot of clay on our property, so I think I'll try using some for mortar and see how it holds up. Cheers!
also did you know that big castle had heated ballroom floor/room similar to a Ondol? they would burn fuel and have the flue goes beneat the floor, when it was time for people to use the room they would remove the fire and open trap doors all around the room so the hot air could flow out.
Clever, and Nice Looking Perhaps a safety barrier around the exterior vertical chimney. I accidentally backed into a wood stove at age four. . Still have the scars over fourty years later. Remember the rule.... What ever can go wrong , will go wrong.
Subscribed, thumbs up & cogitating. If this were put in a building, seems it would be best in a cold clime, in the center of the building. Noticed most people seem to have them next to windows?
Very nice stove. Would it possible to build this stove into a greenhouse whit a high level of humidity without compromising the clay structure? Maybe covering it with some waterproof resin/painting ?
As long as there is not standing water at the base or dripping moisture on the stove, I think it might be OK. You definitely want a nice dry surface for the stove to sit on and you don’t want any water to flow across the surface. Even if you put a waterproof lime coat on it, you still wouldn’t want water flowing over the surface or sitting around the base. Humidity in the air should be OK though as far as I’ve seen. Thanks for commenting, and for subscribing!
@@suburbanbiologythanks a lot for your reply!. I have a greenhouse for orchids. During winter there should be no problem as I would water manually avoiding to "shower" the stove. In summer (when the stove will not be running) the water will fall on the stove anyway (because of the shower irrigation system). If this is not a problem , ok, otherwise I could try using another material as external layer just to cover the clay, maybe gravel ? or the bricks used for barbecue ? what do you think ... and thanks a lot for your time to reply me :)
I wonder if more sand incorporated into the mass would hold heat longer? Or I guess cob is a lot of sand so maybe not a huge difference? Sand battery stuff is cool
Promoting this because it's a great high quality video but also because of the sustainability factor. Up to 90% less firewood used to hear a home. I'm no greenie but why do you think the government doesn't insist people switch to these?
you should of used normal stove piping, galvanized ductwork has a 1 hour fire rating in high heat situations and also gives off nasty chemicals as it burns off
It is located in a place where, even if it were to emit some fibers, they would wind up, floating out the top of the chimney to the outdoors. I don’t imagine it would give off much fiber material. But if it did, at least it’s going outside of the house. Thanks for commenting.

Hello author. Thanks for the video, it is likely first video of high quality that depicts building process of a rocket mass heater. I am looking into various ways the RMH can be built but so far I can't seem to find an answer that bothers me. It's whether it is possible to attach general radiators to the heater? Either connecting internal heating duct maze to a external thermal pipes or otherwise? Sorry for english, I am well versed in basic english but this topic is a bit out of my knowledge
I left a link to the book I read in the description of this video. I highly recommend reading that book. You can make a duct maze, but it is limited how long this maze can be before you affect draft negatively. I hope this helps. But again that book is incredible.
Can regular Cement or maybe aircrete be used with sand or rocks instead of the clay materials? I mean still use fire brick but the rest changes out? And can saw dust instead of straw?
Aircrete is an insulator which would prevent the heat from being exchanged into the room. So you would probably want to avoid aircrete or anything that is an insulator. Cement would probably work just fine. It would certainly be more permanent if you ever wanted to redo it, or move it off of the porch. Thank you for watching it for subscribing!
I’m enclosing the porch as we speak. It’s summer in my climate right now so I haven’t burned any fires lately. I’m hoping to make a follow up video with some thermometers in different locations this winter once the porch is enclosed. Thanks for following up!
so this is essentially a masonry stove where even the smoke is combusted because of the high heat and the massive masonry structure absorbs all the heat and slowly emits it except that masonry stoves are fast and hot completely burning all fuel

It should work as long as the wall is sufficiently heatproof/fireproof. You also don’t want to break the “rules” of how long the ductwork is. I would recommend the book in the link to the longer version of this video. Thanks for your support!

Wrap copper tubing around it...make heating steam tube. Thur house or outdoor garden... Steam heaters...
Nice, if only they knew about such tech back in the old old days :P
“They’ knew about this tech in the old days, particularly in far north of Europe and Russia. Too many vested interests have led us down other paths of expensive heating
Yep you'll find a lot of Russian videos with giant mass battery stoves. They shared heat with upstairs as well.

so this is essentially a masonry stove where even the smoke is combusted because of the high heat and the massive masonry structure absorbs all the heat and slowly emits it except that masonry stoves are fast and hot completely burning all fuel
