Rocket Mass Heater Heats The House For Free

Jan 23 • How To

What if you never had to worry about a heating bill again and added a layer of resilience in case the power goes out? That’s exactly what I accomplished by building a rocket mass heater.

The best part? It cost about half the price of a decent wood stove.

To bring this project to life, I teamed up with two-time History Channel’s Forged in Fire Champion Ira Houseweart and fellow YouTuber Bob Baxley. Together, we created the ultimate home heating solution.

So, what makes this heater special?

-Massive efficiency: It uses 70–90% less wood than traditional wood stoves.

-The magic: A super-insulated heat chamber combined with a large thermal mass to absorb and release heat.

Stay warm and resilient,
