Hi All,
This is the finished rocket mass heater test run.

Nice job Tommey. I have an Aurora cast iron wood burning stove that seems to eat wood like there is no tomorrow. They say the efficiency is 60 % or more. I wonder what the efficiency of your rocket stove is....probably a whole lot better. Wonder how we could do some accurate measurements? I found that once the heat melts the entire surface of the galvanized pipes to a dull gray zinc finish, the emissivity goes way up and you can feel the difference just moving your hand (some distance from) the dull gray to the shiny parts of the pipe. Your output pipe may never get hot enough to melt to the dull gray zinc unless you separately put a good fire into it. Paint has trouble sticking to the shiny galvanized but no problem with the dull gray. Keep up the good work, it is appreciated. ION
