- Ben Hansen - Put a Catalytic Converter under the coil, that will keep it from being a drippy tar magnet, and you can focus the heat on to the coil pack. A big burn chamber, line it with firebrick, secondary coil and heat exchange area works well. Model to look at is a simple barrel stove double barrel kit.
- Aaron Makaruk -
- The surface of the barrel can be used for cooking.
- The water pipes are easier to channel throughout the HabLab than a Rocket Mass Stove exhaust pipe.
- Experiment option: pancake coil on top of the barrel.
- Experiment option: vertical coil along the vertical exhaust shaft of the rocket mass stove.
- Ben Hansen - catalytic converters in Mother Earth News - also source - Bought stuff from these guys. The "men" link is old, and reference only. Lots of good stuff out there now.
