Dear Jote and all,
Your problem (opportunity) is about space heating. And you seem to
want biomass rather than fossil or other heat sources. So you should
consider all heat-transfer options with biomass, not just latch onto
Rocket or some other technology that makes heat.
For the climate of the Los Angeles area, why not consider a high-mass
stove? It gets hot and then radiates heat for a long time.
A new friend of mine in Massachusetts, Chas (prononced as in Jazz)
Hinckley has a design for a high mass heater and we are discussing a
moderately large TLUD combustor to provide the heat.
We are looking for other people who might be specifically interested
in this high mass heating option with a TLUD heat source.
If anyone is interested, please get in touch with me and Chas to have
some off-list discussions. (Chas is not subscribed to the Stoves
Listserv.)
Yes, you can put a Rocket burner into a high mass device, but I do not
deal with that.

Quoting Jote Mahern <[email protected]>:
Hello All,
My name is Jote and I am looking for some guidance on the subject of
building a rocket stove to heat an industrial space near 64th and San Pablo.
This space is home to the PLACE for sustainable living (People Linking Art
Community and Ecology). We are a nonprofit working as a community
resiliency laboratory and business incubator. We opened in May. It is
starting to get pretty cool inside. Any help/advice is appreciated. I am
heading up the project and have experience with cob and am excited to put it
to good use.
I am hoping to locate plans and someone who is willing to go over them with
me.
If anyone is interested in joining the work party for the build out that is
definitely welcome as well.
Hope to hear from you soon!
