RE: Off-Grid: Rebuilding the Rocket Stove Boiler and Connecting Outdoor Plumbing for Spring Showers

in #ecotrain7 years ago (edited)

In us and canada a chiminea is an outdoor fireplace with a chimney. Indoor fireplace we just call a fireplace. Chimineas are especially popular in residential areas where outdoor fires must be enclosed and not open pit.

The old chiminea boiler from last summer - I took the chimney off the put the boiler on top. The chimney is now used with the rocket stove, sideways, it's where i feed the wood into :)

Oh, okay! I think I remember seeing those types of fireplaces, made of clay (in the US, though I'm sure they have them in Mexico too). And I agree, placing it sideways to work as rocket stove was a sensible idea.
