We've begun building a rocket mass heater for the most efficient off-grid heat possible. This will be a great addition to our self build earthbag home in the desert.

We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who made the leap from city life to an off-grid homestead in Southern Arizona. We've started this lifestyle equipped only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
We’d like to share our journey of starting a sustainable homestead from scratch with all its ups, downs, and lessons learned. Watch us take on the challenge of modern homesteading, off-grid life, and turning this barren piece of land into a desert oasis.

Sorry we've been gone. It's good to be back. Thanks for watching y'all!

@davefroman4700 Год назад

The most common mistake people make with a rocket mass heater is they fail to create a draft from the outside of their structure, into the heater. Without that the combustion will suck cold air in from every nook and cranny it can in your home.

I would suggest you go to a local dentist school for a checkup and the fees are reasonable

@niknoks6387 Год назад

Glad you are feeling better Jess, seems like Jim has been looking after you 😊🇬🇧

@donutmuncher666 Год назад

Soooo glad Jess is feeling better... we all know you guys will be moving that heater, as it way to close to the wall. Keep on lovely people!

@mirriamvalentin8634 Год назад

Both of you are Awesome 🥰 I love how dedicated you are and how loving you are to each other and your pets❤️🥰❤️

@kitdriscoll1288 Год назад

Rocket mass heaters are a smart way to go, for sure. But when are y'all going to cob the walls?

@danielisbell4882 Год назад

Heater looks like it will be real close to that wire run. Might want to think about that some more.

@russaification Год назад

I've been watching this channel for quite sometime and I'm not trying to be negative. You guys have come a long way, taking steps forward and back. I feel like there is no organization and this build is all over the place. I've never built anything like this but from what I can see the bags inside are falling apart and the integrity of the build will be also. Just a friendly suggestion, maybe make a priority list of things that must be done before moving on to new projects. I know the mass heater is a great idea but that energy could have been used to finish the walls inside. All I'm saying is that I'm a bit like you mike, Im all over the place. I had to learn to finish what you started before moving on and creating a hand written list got me back on track. Keep warm there are some really cold storms headed your way out of California and best wishes for you and Jess.

@peggystutz8522 Год назад

@hellainejordan8603 Год назад

Please go look at “My Little Homestead” on RU-vid this family is wonderful and from what I see, you and Jess aren’t ready to put in the stove yet because your home still needs a lot of work before you begin putting in the stove and Ms the placement of it is all wrong and maybe even dangerous for you and your dogs. Plus you all may want to add or connect a warm soft to the heater and your walls should be done as well as your floors before any heater goes in. Please check out the show and the things they did. I wish you both well and good luck with your heater.

Welcome back. Glad to see that you are well. Please install a carbon monoxide detector down below in your bedroom area. It is a deadly gas, heavier than air, it tends to settle in basements. Please stay safe out there. Peace

@ram1brn Год назад

Jess I hope you start carrying and gets comfortable with it as well the only annoyance with it is forgetting when going to sit down . But I carry a revolver so it sits lower . If Jim happens to be gone and a group walks up the dogs will only be so much of a deterant .We have had 2 groups walk up and they were not afraid of my 4 large dogs .I carry because of the Javalina they are some ill tempered creatures when suprised

@DanielSkinnerDETTPKS Год назад

Jessica& Jim; I had my wisdom teeth removed back in the 1970's, In the USA, Norman, Oklahoma, by a Dental Surgeon. A large, strong man, over 6 ft. tall. He was able to just pull 2 teeth out at a time. It took some time for the holes to heal, & I have had no trouble since. Glad to see you were able to save money by having the Surgery done in Mexico; I have heard this done for other operations. I look forward to see your recovery, & your additions to the artistry of your homestead/Project. Peace, Long Life, & Health to all.

@kurtcurtis2730 Год назад

I know ZERO about rocket stoves. Super interested and looking forward to learning. My friend built a 6000 square-foot house yes 6000 ft.². They built this house so airtight the heat the entire house with one small radiator style heater or their small wood stove. This house is in the mountains, and they’ve only had to use the heat two weeks out of the winter. it gets below zero here. The bottle bricks are also very interesting we throw away an awful lot of stuff, all this plastic is a big big disaster. Even when you have a good recycling program like we do, a lot of the products can’t be recycled. I think half of my neighbors porch is in my front yard due to the winds here too lol

@kurtcurtis2730 Год назад

I sure hope you’re going to explain the concept of the heater in later videos. Is this a way to keep the warm air in continuous circulation?

@ourselfreliantlife Год назад

Hey Michael! It's over the bags, so no worries

@gayahithwen Год назад

If you do wind up deciding to move it, I'd like to make the argument for putting it in the bedroom. Heat rises, and while your bedroom is well insulated, it's probably harder to get the heat downstairs than moving it upwards when needed. If the heater is in the bedroom, you have the thermal heat sink near where you sleep, and the ability to feed it more fuel in the middle of the night. Potentially, the heater would act as an indirect light source/night light, too. But then again, maybe those were all things you already considered and still opted for the ground level. Just having some fun analyzing the logistics, you know? 🙂

@rogerrabbit6522 Год назад

Good to see you back on again. Re the water being frozen either in the pipes or tanks you can get 12v trace heating that can be controlled by a 12v thermostatic controller which should overcome that problem. I have it working well for my water tanks and pipes and lithium batteries.

@klazyy641 Год назад

I'll join the crowd and give my best to Jessica. Having gone through an impacted wisdom tooth way back in my younger years, I know the pain and eventual relief once the 'cure' was done. The rocket-mass heater is a great idea, but I have serious questions about its location right near the staircase, the weight of it versus on the floor below, and the clearance for the chimney. I thought there had to be considerable "piping" in a sort of cob 'sofa' --- and there just ain't 'nuff room, partner.

I've already been through all this. The placement is fine.

Jim and Jess, first of all I'm so happy that Jess is healing from her surgical procedure. Taking care of yourself is first and foremost, for the both of you. Your body is God's temple! Also excited to see your rocket mass heater build. Was surprised you didn't brick up the wall next to the bags. The heat is going to be melting your poly bags, isn't it??? Just worried about your beautiful structure. Waiting to see how you both figure that out. I know you can do it! PS... Sorry I've been away from some of your videos. My husband passed on the 13th, after a long illness. I had to stay close to him. Our 17th anniversary is tomorrow. He didn't make it, but at least he's no longer suffering. His sweet heart just gave out. I'm ok. I pray a lot and Jesus takes care of me. God bless.

Having a box for the trailer is a good idea for carrying lighter loads and like animals and such. Just remember wood is heavy, large tarp used as a liner would be better. especially for those that have a weight limit they need to stay under.

@RichMunnichKaraokeGuy Год назад

You may want to burn the paint off that 55 gallon drum outside before you incorporate it into the heater indoors. The smell is awful if you don't and will cause problems indoors the first time you use it. The inside of the drum is lined/laced with vinyl chloride when it's original use is for petroleum products.
