People have wondered if this heater is easy to start. Seeing is believing ... and since some rocket heaters are problematic to get started, I tho't I'd do a video which shows everything I to to get it started. I do NOT have a "pilot" area in my chimney, as some rocket heater owners have. Watch and see how easy it is for my heater to get started. ( see other videos of other details of this heater, including short under-ground exhaust and my 9' chimney )
