The rocket mass heater was so nice to fire up! What are you using to heat your home?
We have tried all kinds of heaters from ceramic to Mr buddies. The electric ones use way too much solar power and the propane one isn't very efficient either. We just got a diesel heater in the mail to try this year and supposedly you can run 24 hours on one gallon so hoping this works. We hope to have a wood stove or rocket mass heater once we build our home but trying to find a temporary solution while we are in the camper.
@@B2GOG Simple Living Alaska uses them, have a couple excellent videos .
@@robinmarie5180 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll go check their channel out! 🤗
@@B2GOG They just installed 1 in their chicken house, He has 1 in the hack of his truck for the dog's.
Seeing that heater exhaust pipe venting underneath the wooden upper structure makes me nervous.
Can we get a update on crew please.
My favourite homesteading family on RUclips. Aussie fan
I miss seeing Crew
You may want to bring in out side air Intake to the entrance of the fire box.you could go into the side 4-8inches below where you put in the fire wood. I brought in outside air Intake and my heat increased by 4 times Wood use went down and propane use also decreased. Best change ever.
I dont heat my home in the winter. I live in a hot climate. Even though it does get chilly in the winter. I don't want anything to do with heat. I love the cold bring it on!
Me too..in Jamaica 😂🇯🇲
I played this at my job orientation. Now I'm the office legend
Lluvia, your ever companion.
I liked Jess wore the red, white and blue for veterans day, Thanks to all the veterans and great video guys
It's awesome that the rocket mass heater is working and going to be good, keeping you all warm
I saw the short on the straw on the floor in the cellar but I would really think that one out! I use straw bedding in my horses stalls . It MOLDS and It holds water and MOLDS Black junk even without the horses. It has tons of bugs and bug eggs!! Also a big one is RATS love the stuff! Great for nests! Where we store the bales is covered an in doors... It's why we went to wood pellets . SO much cleaner and no MOLD!!!!! Straw loves black mold and bugs! So I would not use it in a under ground room! Straws soak up water from the air!
Your chimney unloading under the eaves is terrifying. The cob may be fireproof but you have a significant amount of wood up there as well. Additionally, the eaves are holding that smoke and it's likely to come back into your house from there.
I realize there's no code where your building, (lucky) but that is one I would follow.
Good morning you guys hope you guys having a wonderful day and I'll keep up and God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations People of the Earth with the success of your rocket mass heater! It's satisfying to see how well it's working . You have your work cut out. Love watching your off-grid living. Bravo!
Ditch the processed stevia for Honey full of nutrients and good stuff.Excellent work guy's.
He can always buy a couple of stevia plants and use the leaves instead of the processed version. Lowe's sells the plants here in Dallas.
@@losapriscos7258 Excellent idea
Wow !!! Happy I found you self-reliant souls. This is my first video of you beautiful souls. I would like to go back to your first video and see how it all began .....and learn how to build a Rocket heater......stay safe and always gives thanks!!!! ❤
Jim, the smoke coming from the chimney is mighty close to the wood under your upper ledge. You may want to check that. Glad the rocket mass heater is working well.
CONGRATS ON THE EFFICIENCY OF TGAT ROCKET HEATER. MINIMUM RUN TIME .. WOW👍👍👍🏁🏁SUPER HOT LOLOL!
Like you I also am building my home and living on a farm. But it is a traditional (sorta) home which I call a cabin. Afterall I live in Iowa. I don't worry about fat content or all the extra ingredients in my coffee or diet. I have always found that the best cure keeping the wight down etc. is simply work. And activity. Lots of activity. Just stay busy. On a farm there is always activity! Enjoy
Is Crew still with us? 🐕🦺
Yes.update on Crew?
you should plant native trees that grows in the climate around your house to stop the wind.
Hey there Jim and Jess you sure got a beautiful place out there and that rock it heater is doing a beautiful job warming up that door me you guys are awesome watching from the southern Alberta Canada 🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️
As the domes get completed the arts, channels, land, plants, animals and permaculture can proceed. Bravo, keep after it Domesteaders.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so jealous of what you guys are doing. This is so neat. During that first cold snap, my daily power consumption jumped from $4 a day to $15 a day. Keep doing what you are doing!
My favorite off grid couple. Love the coffee tip.
It's great to see the rocket mass heater fired up. Stay warm! I'm looking forward to Jess & Peter's new channel! That's exciting
Try growing your own stevia next year. You can just put the leaves in the coffee or tea as you are brewing it. I use the dried leaves and stems during the winter. The stems I grind with the coffee beans.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing! Ron PTL USA
Are you going to coat the outside of the dome with anything? Like some sort of lime/sand combo
Glad to see things back to normal.. Ya three are maken big progress, looken forward to the next big thing 😊👍👍
Omg!!! You have 7 years of videos 😮 where do i begin??
WOW so cool that is looking so great👍👍
I agree with previous commentators. It make sence that the chimney should be above the roof, not under the roof line.
We actually don't have a roof
@@ourselfreliantlife what’s that thing Jess is climbing up on? Where the owl box is? Shouldn’t the chimney be above that so the smoke dissipates out into the air rather under the ridge?
@@ChristineKelly1000 those are eaves. Once the RMH really gets going, there's not really any smoke.
@ChristineKelly1000 once the rmh gets going there's not really any smoke.
wow! great idea to drink coffee
im still amazed at how you can feel the temp drop at sunset if your outside.....
Thanks for the coffee recipe! I put beet powder and fermented cocoa with Adkins drink or a chocolate protein drink. Call it red velvet coffee. Sometimes I add moringa powder, monk fruit. MCT creamer bio trust or liquid from Walmart. Fresh ground flax at times! The world is my oyster! 😁✨🖖👍👋❤️🌹
I read somewhere Aloe Vera is poisonous for dogs. We had a big Aloe Vera plant in our house so looked it up some time last year. I am sure google can give you better info that I can though. Uvee is such a sweetie girl!
We got the same RV. Made by Nuwa. Super quality! I love mine.👍
Thanks for sharing your experience. I love your videos.
Jim get a canning funnel for your keto coffee. COOL rocket heater.
❤TY for the VIDEO 😊 PEACE 👍
I love Jess' patriotic, starry shirt as you're posting this video on Veterans Day. Great timing. Accidental or intentional?
Hello 👋 u2-love all ur work and videos you have made him a real nice word keep it up, until the next time… May God bless you all 🙏
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Works great
Lookin good !!
Great dirt work: Jim’s backfilling on the root cellar and Jess’s cob on the house!
Glad to know I'm not the only one bringing buckets of sticks into my home! Got propane and electric heat, but only a fire in the stove makes the house nice and toasty.
Yes, what is happening with Crew? I can't find a video that talks about him? 😢/😊
If you want a dwg i would recommend a high tunnel maybe 34' or 36' with 2nd tunnel about 12' wider than the inner tunnel with geodesic dome halfs on either end of both tunnels. And tunnels made of some insulative material like eps air creete or hemp bast conerete for north side and top. The long side should facing north/south with the south side covered with greenhouse plastics and a 2ndary heating like your rmh. Another place to get plans for what i understand and believe to be the most efficient design rmh stove is honeydo carpenter channel.
OSRL is in the house. LOL
I'm a new subscriber to your channel 🤗⚘😎👍🏽
Also, just looked up Peter & Jess's New channel... you guessed it... I subscribed to that one too. We all will be waiting for the 1st episode! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You've come a long way🎉 my first video on RUclips was about a rocket stove I made. 900°
I've been into using unflavored pea protein powder in my coffee lately. Zero added sugars, no dairy, and mild flavor.
Planting some Black Wattle trees for fire wood is probably a good idea. Grows well in your conditions a quick growing, hard wood. Even great to work with, very pretty color and grain.
It's so obvious u guys are crazy about each other I loved seeing u guys hug when he was trying to keep u warm. So romantic!!! I hope one day I find my other half!!! You guys are so perfect together what a dream team!!
Congrats on your rocket mass heater. What's going on with Crew these days?
I have the same coffee machine always set mine to brew strong lol
Awesome :)
Congrats on first Flames. The work pays off
Congratulations on your rocket mass heater. It really warmed up your place. Great job. I can hardly wait on your new channel, Jess and Peter. Jim, great job on your backfilling. A lot of work.
just a thought you might want to check for free pallets or free wood on market place and start building up a wood pile for that rocket mass stove . the wood you have on your place will not last long . i know it dont get very cold there but better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it . its going to be a weird winter so i really dont know what you will expect . here it will be freezing cold with lots of snow . you would freeze here and wish for you desert home in like a couple hours maybe less on a real cold Michigan day .
You moving along I’m impressed
Jim, I was waiting for you to add an egg (Egg shell too to be a traditionalist) Swedish plasma,,,
It would be really cool if you had one of them little laser temperature guns, but then you could do read the temperature on the exterior of the dome and read it on the interior walls versus the bench over the rocket stove.
You may want to consider storing some fire wood for when the temperature change for good.
So when are you guys going to plaster and tile the floors and walls inside?
cover the plants in the garden with canvas tarp
Do you think it would be a good idea to extend your smokestack above the roof line? The smoke and heat is hitting under the roof line. Wonder if that would degrade that part of the structure.
I🎯was wondering if anyone else thought of that. Usually the stack is at least a full foot above the roofline.🎯
I was wondering that too. Seems the smoke could even get wafted into the loft since it’s pouring in under the eaves
Horribly dangerous design for the chimney.
How's Crew and is the rocket stove pipe smoke going in the owl box
Those little success are inspiring for both you and us ❤
Looks like a cool way to stay warm
Hey Jess and Jim, I like the rocket stove and am thinking about building one for my outdoor kitchen. Here in Thailand, it's so hot year-round that most people cook outdoors. There are occasions in the northern parts of Thailand that it gets a little chilly at night in the winter months and that is where I will be moving to next year so I might want to put a small one inside the house. Chilly here is when it gets in the 50's.
You guys should come to Thailand for a visit. If you don't mind the hot weather, it's not bad in early May as it does start to get hot towards the end of May. It's November now, and I am sleeping without the air conditioning, so it's pretty nice.
Where is the wagon ? You should be transporting the plants in that . How is crew doing ?
Same Trainwreck different day.
anywhere there is no water (even in Antarctica {water in the form of ice}) has extreme shifts in temperature as water is an excellent heat sink and moderates temperature.
You need a funnel for your protein powder 😊
Shouldn’t your exhaust tube be taller than the dome roof ? Just asking …
It’s been 29 at night in ILLINOIS
@our self-reliant life.
Yes, what's up with Crew?
Question, did you try to put a flagstone over the intake after it heated up to control the temperature by slowing down the burn? I realize it would tske a lot of testing to find the optimum placement for tempersture/duration.
Can you use a sander on the bench of the rocket mass heater to make it smooth? Or do you have to create it with a different process? I've seen other creators whom created one and the surface was extremely smooth. It was beautiful.
You could cover a lot of the plants with straw and protect them.
That chimney should be up above the roof. One spark could set the whole thing on fire, being so close to the side of the home.
Our house is fireproof
One Question what exactly are you going to do with the root cellar is it going to be part of a complete dome or is it just a smaller secondary structure that will not have a full size dome over it like the first one? what is the Master plan? Is kind of hard to follow with changes to the plans with no Clear explanations ?
can't wait to watch the new channel!
Im subscribed. All notifications on and i never see u guys? Wtf RUclips?
Nice job on that rocket mass heater! Definitely would love to try this one day! 🎉
I planted some turmeric I got at the grocery store back in June. It decided to finally start growing a week before the first freeze of the year. I covered it up, but since then bought some plexiglass. It's growing in a cattle lick tub, so can't bring it inside. Hopefully it survives the winter. I just covered my multiple Aloe Vera plants and zucchini. I still need to bring the Aloe inside before the next freeze. The zucchini survived and I've been able to harvest a few squashes.
How has your back been, Jim? Give us an update!
👏👏👏👏
Strong and black Puerto Rican coffee no sugar is the best way to drink coffee.
Nice work guys
For awhile you could wrap the dome in plastic from a big roll like movers use. I have one and thats what I'm going to use it for.
❤🎉
Why not move them with the cart
You should create a lift that will take the heavy plants to the top of the dome. Kinda like a dumbwaiter. 🌹💜🌹 The rocket mass stove is warm in the perfect spot (backs of the knees). Why dont you use a funnel to put the protein powder in your coffee? No spill!
I like your boots Jess! I’ve noticed them in prior videos here and there. Kinda silly but thought I’d let you know.
why not cover the dome with plastic and make a small wood burning stove to keep above freezing ... you could then put a couple LED plant lights to keep some hardy cold weather plants for food year round?
