Here is a superefficient wood fired heater you can build for yourself in a weekend for less than a hundred dollars. This book explains in detail exactly how to build one, then how to use it in a range of applications. We discuss materials: where to find them, what to pay and how to make use of found and recycled parts. The section on fire and fuels is thorough but simple; we tried to keep away from numbers wherever possible. There are success stories, case studies, references and where to find further information, all heavily illustrated. Home heating can be expensive both in capital equipment and in running costs. If we heat by gas, oil or electricity we are supporting a big corporation and impoverishing ourselves. By building an extra efficient heating system you will be one more big step off the treadmill and your move to self-sufficiency and true wealth. Good luck with your stove!

    If... and I mean if... you were as scared by this year's storms as I was, then you need this book... we use propane, which went to $4.19 a gallon this week. But seriously, what good is a full tank of Propane when the damn furnace runs on electricity? And several people were without that for a while, all over this country, and in places that usually don't lose power? Also, the cold damn near crippled us across the US. Walmarts were stripped bare several times in the last 3 months, and we have Tornado season, (Spring and Fall), always just around the corner... I have built several rocket mass heaters for backups, and this Spring will be retro-fitting my home, (house, garage, and barn each), with the house unit being installed in the basement for when the storms get worse, and they will. I highly recommend the YouTube videos by "Erica and Ernie Wisner" about "Fire" and "Rocket Mass Heaters" as well, if only to complete the necessary information and working details that are necessary to update the information in this book, but you CAN use the book to make a working unit, even if it's you first time! Trust your feelings Luke, but do the extra research! Have fun, be safe! Make sure to check out the vids for Rocket Mass Heater fails as well, it ALWAYS comes back to someone trying to make one out of all metel, and they never work. Firebrick for the inside is the way to go... just saying.

    Rocket Mass Heaters: Superefficient Woodstoves You can build is awesome. It is full of helpful information. It provides a good argument for living a little greener and more efficiently. I was impressed with the detailed instruction and helpful drawings. The pictures were inspirational too. The company behind the book is top-notch, very customer oriented, going beyond the necessity of the situation. I would not hesitate to buy any other product from this company/publisher.
