Rocket Mass Heater ( SmartSplitter - making the small stuff for the ember bed )
I tried once before to show how I use the SmartSplitter to prepare small easy-to-burn pieces of wood which I use to quickly build up my ember bed. The ember bed, I believe, is a very important part of the success of this heater design and if it's kept healthy, hot and full of embers, promotes more efficient combustion and a healthy fire thru-out the heater.
