I built a rocket type heater based on the rocket stove principle like the one you have built in your shop, it puts out good heat dont use a lot of wood to do it.
 
C_hasbeen<br><br>They are amazingly efficient, The only thing I do not like is the constant need to manually feed the sticks into the burn chamber.<br><br>I plan on building another one that will have the sticks feed in, in a vertical position, using a tee configuration at the bottom burn chamber, and a grate to hold the sticks off the bottom just a little.<br><br>I will try that one out and see how it works. That is how the mass heaters are set up.<br><br>Putz<br><br><br>
 
I used that folding cooker above alot for foil packet cooking. Really liked it. Traded it for a vargo titanium woodstove which was lighter and packed flat. Almost fainted when I saw the price on the amazon link, though. I paid MUCH less for a used one on ebay.

What I like about the vargo is that you can fit one of those triple wicked emergency candles in it in a pinch.
