September 30 - October 1, 10am to 4pm, with Ernie Wisner

Rocket stoves use easily accessible reused materials and cutting-edge engineering to burn wood super-efficiently and cleanly. Using a renewable resource without the pollution so common to woodstoves, rocket stoves can be used to heat a thermal mass that releases its warmth slowly over time. This allows nearly all the energy from the exhaust to be absorbed as it runs along an extended pipe right through the heavy, heat-absorbing material, leaving relatively cool air to exit the chimney.
