How to Heat Your Home With Junk Mail

I was going through some of my old YouTube videos and came across this video of me talking with Paul Wheaton about rocket mass heaters:

I had honestly forgotten some of the statistics on this thing, but it’s pretty incredible:

• If you use a rocket mass heater instead of a wood-burning stove or fireplace to heat your home this winter, you’ll use 1/10th the amount of firewood.
• Since the rocket mass heater captures smoke and uses it to produce heat, you’ll be releasing 1/100th to 1/1000th the amount of smoke into the atmosphere.
• The core of this thing reaches about 3,000°F, versus the 600°F or so generated by a fireplace.
• This is the perfect DIY project. You can build it yourself in a weekend.
• It’s inexpensive to make. In fact, some folks build theirs out of cob, discarded pieces of ducting, and old 55-gallon steel drums … for less than $20!
• And–here’s the kicker–many people heat their homes with a rocket mass heater using nothing but the branches that naturally fall off the trees in their yard. (In fact, one guy made it through the winter on just junk mail!)

Because rocket mass heaters are so awesome in so many ways, I wanted to make sure you know how to get your hands on the 4-DVD set you hear about in the video:
