That would be my interpretation of the situation. Just because you can produce greater amounts of heat with less fuel doesn't mean that the fuel is magically going to burn at a slower rate. Especially since rocket stoves are designed to maximize airflow through the wood, likely causing it to...

I understood what you were saying about having to break down logs into small pieces for this other stove type. I also said "fuel" efficiency, meant to highlight that its only real benefit is that it requires less fuel to output the same amount of heat as a standard wood stove. But, as you just...

I realize that such a setup is a far greater fire hazard than a standard wood burning stove, and my point wasn't to say that it is better in every way. From my understanding, it simply is more fuel efficient. You made some good points regarding the convenience of a standard wood burning stove...

Came across this today. It's called a Rocket Mass Heater. It's allegedly one of the most, if not the most, efficient and effective heating systems which relies on wood. Instead of having all of the heat simply dissipate out of a standard chimney, this system, which starts with a high efficiency...
