Off grid rocket mass heater is probably the most economical way to heat a home off grid.
Heating an off grid home with wood is going to be a lot of work keeping the wood chopped and ready for burning if you use a regular stove. Fireplaces will also burn through a lot of wood.
Both those types of heat sources loose a lot of the heat to the outdoors. A rocket mass heater on the other hand burns all of the wood so there is no smoke and the hot air from the burning is sent into a built mass of cob which holds the heat for hours and heats the home. This method of using wood to heat with is a better way because it cuts way down on how much wood you would actually burn through in a winter.
For many people who live in an area that has access to municipal utilities heating their home is not a concern. However, if you one growing number of people who have discovered the benefits of living off the grid, you will no doubt need to find an alternative solution for home heating. This project was designed to introduce the reader to the non-traditional heater.
