The title is: Rocket Mass Greenhouse Heater Pt.2 – An American Homestead

It works! Well sort of. I’m getting good draw on the system right away. The top of the 55 gallon drum is too hot to touch within 90 seconds of lighting a fire. My question is, how long does the fire need to go before 2nd combustion happens? How do I tell? Also, the exhaust pipe doesn’t get very hot…just mostly warm. Shouldn’t it be getting hotter than that if its going to heat up mass like cob?

***All Content Used Under License – Envato.com***
Episode 10: The homestead builds an outhouse for guests to use when they come camping in the spring and fall. Not everyone is into using a composting toilet so we build a simple yet efficient outhouse for visitors. It’s been just over a year that we arrived on the land that has become An American Homestead. We’ve been super busy. In this last episode of the season, we take a look back at everything we have accomplished in 12 months time. The result of all the hard work is a homestead we can be proud of and share with others.

Admittedly, I snatched this from a Facebook share. However, this is an awesome idea.

Required items: 

• A container with an airtight lid (I use a 2QT food storage bowl w/screw on lid)
• 4-6 sponges (I use small, thin, cheap ones)
• 2 cups fabric softener (any brand/’flavor’)
• 4-5 cups water

Directions: 

• Gently stir fabric softener and water together in container ..add sponges and put on lid to leave soak.

To Use:

• squeeze out 1 sponge and put it in the dryer with your load of wet clothes ..when clothes are dry, put the sponge back into the container of mix.

Results:

• EXACTLY the same as using the expensive dryer sheets that get thrown away!!!!!
  Refill container as needed ..but that won’t be very often at all …MAYBE twice a year or less!!!
  NOTE: If you use a smaller container ….just make as much mix as needed to fill it …it’s basically 1 cup softener to 2 cups water (a little extra water doesn’t hurt)

• Total cost: $5 ………sponges $3 (2/$1) ..container $1 ..fabric softener $1 (ALL purchased at Dollar Tree)
