A POSH rocket mass heater in Estonia

 

     
 
 
 





The rocket mass heater is an ingenious beast that consumes all manner of awkward bits of wood converting them efficiently to heat that winds its way through a cob bench that can keep you warm until the next day. This beauty is a deluxe model by Jaanus Viese of Juured (meaning 'Roots') in Estonia.

   

 

 

 

     

Jaanus developed his craft with some of the best natural builders in the world learning how to build rocket stoves and cob homes with Ianto and Linda Evans of Cob Cottage Company and clay plasters and floors with Bill and Athena Steen of The Canelo Project.
