A method of burning less wood and creating more heat?

This is called the Rocket Mass Heater Stove.  As you will notice. It burns from bottom of inside a "U" shape.  The back of the "U" being much taller containing insulation warming effect, to create an upwards draft.  Venting and heating the rest of the system. This type of system has very small carbon foot print. It's chimney expels mainly steam as the wood gas is completely burned before leaving the system.  Here are 12 different stoves for you to take a look at.



This is a very easy way to burn small amounts of wood. It can be built in a day or two from easy to find materials. Don't forget to include a clean out.  Because this stove burns so cleanly it rarely needs to be cleaned.
