Another question is about creosote. In a


conventional wood stove, under inefficient
conditions, creosote can build up in the
chimney and start a chimney fire. The
"chimney" in the rocket stove is the same thing
as the heat riser. The rocket stove is designed
to have a controlled chimney fire every burn.

Building Plans

If these rocket stoves are of interest of you, the


smartest next step is probably to get a set of
plans that closely resembles what you are
thinking of designing. These plans are proven
designs that Ernie and Erica Wisner, the
leading rocket stove innovators, have
developed and tested.

Plans

Annex

Variation

These have been the all time most popular


plans up to date.They are for an L-shaped
heated bench. The '6' refers to diameter of
heat-exchange ducting. This design
provided the sole heat for an older
Portland cottage/apartment of about 800
sf.

Daybed with Bypass

These plans are for a duct-heated, small


heater that warms an 11 x 11 (120 sf)
guest cottage in Portland, OR. A bypass
from manifold to chimney allows priming
the heater more easily for cold starts.
Instead of a bench, the mass makes up a
platform for a bed!

Bonny Convection Bench

This is for an 8" duct diameter with


room-air circulation channels over
reinforced wood flow. This large system
currently heats a 3-story, multi-family
house in a cool coastal valley.
Reinforcement and built-in air channels
protect the existing hardwood floor while
providing passive circulation of warm air to
the rest of the house.

several times. After all, they know far more than
I do. After the great Earth Day success I
recorded a podcast with them. Not only to have
a podcast loaded with rocket mass heater /
rocket stove info, but to gloat a bit about the
success of my innovation. This was my very
first podcast about rocket mass heaters!
