Workshop for Construction of Thermal Mass Rocket Stove
So, what is a rocket stove?
- It is an extremely efficient wood-burning stove, using only one fifth of the amount of wood than a conventional burner.
- It is a "thermal mass" heater, so as well as producing radiated heat, it can provide slowly-released under-seat heating.
- It can be used for cooking and boiling the kettle.
- It can be adapted to provide all your hot water.
- It can be easily constructed, using cheap, mostly recycled materials
- It produces a two-stage burn, giving an efficiency of 90%, at a very high temperature.
You are invited to come and participate in the construction of a Thermal Mass Rocket Stove,on a weekend workshop at Varzea da Gonçala, Aljezur, on 4th - 5th February 2012.
