Our friend Mark Mazziotti of Northwind Natural Building sent us this photo of his recently completed project and reports that it is working wonderfully to heat his strawbale home!
I believe that it is an adaptation of the “double shoe-box” batch box rocket mass heater design that is currently popular. Congratulations Mark!
Credit to Peter van den Berg and Lasse Holmes for the development of the batch box rocket technology. And thanks to all the great teachers of the Masonry Heater Association.
