Pretty amazing system. I dream of adding this to our cabin when we get out of the village here in the next year or two. Sips firewood versus conventional wood burning fireplaces. I initially saw this design on Fouch Family Off Grid on YouTube

I saw fouch build theirs too! Because they used cob it they were able to save a lot of space and still get the same heat capacity from the mass.
I think I first saw a rmh on Paul Wheaton's youtube years ago.
I stopped following the fouchs after their bashing of Paul... but anyway... the Rev here is an inspiration!!
Have you been to Wheaton Labs in Montana? I've known a few people that have also attended events there, several years back now, and echoed similar criticism as Fouch. I've never been there myself, maybe I'll find my way there one day. I think Fouch stopped making videos pretty shortly after their critique of Paul Wheaton for what it's worth.
