Description
[edit | edit source]Rocket Mass Heaters (RMH) are energy-efficient burners used for heating, and are usually assembled from recycled and/or natural materials. RMH's use about 80% less wood than 'regular' wood burners/fireplaces Advantages of RMH: * Relatively easy to build, you don't need to have high engineering skills * Energy-efficiency - uses significantly less wood * Eco-freindly - less pollution, can be made of recycled and natural materials * Beautiful & aesthetic! Read more about how RMH works and how to build one in the links below or in the book: 'Rocket Mass Heaters' by Ianto Evans, available online.
