Because you can sit over the hot couch and feel all the warm this extraordinary stove can give you. This is only one of the many exciting features, another one is the radiator that provide instant heating since the first minutes of operation and let you cook over it.
There are two main ways of building a rocket mass heater: using the J-shaped design or the L-shape design. In a rocket mass heater featuring a J-profile the wood is placed into a vertical feeding chamber and it should feed automatically the stove by gravity. The flame runs horizontally through the burning chamber until the 90 degree angle that causes strong turbulences ensuring proper mixing of oxygen and the smoke setting the stage for a second combustion.
The heat riser practically is a well-insulated chimney that causes a rise in the temperature. This creates a strong draft capable of pushing the exhaust gases through a long funnel, located beneath the bench, until the vent. After the hot gases exit the heat riser they are involved in a second combustion where all the flammable substances are burnt complete combustion. The radiator instantly warm the room by irradiation and by generating convective motions with the air in contact with it. The high efficiency of this stove is due to the proper insulation of the burning chamber and heat riser allowing the fuel to burn at the highest temperatures with a clean and complete combustion so that all the inflammable gases are burnt before they reach the exhaust duct.
While the smoke flows trough the exhaust duct it gives the residual heat to the thermal mass of the bench. The thermal mass is made of materials capable of storing a great quantity of heat and releasing it slowly acting as a thermal battery. A thermal mass with an adequate size being totally heated is still capable of releasing heat the day after the stove has been switched off. Finally what exits the exhaust vent is essentially low temperature water steam and CO2.
As you can see from the drawings the only difference between the two types of stoves is the feeding chamber: in a L-designed rocket mass heater it overlaps the burning chamber as you put the wood directly horizontally. You can read more on what's involved in my article J-shaped vs L-shaped.
My first rocket mass heater is based on the plans I bought from Ernie and Erica Wisner , experienced wood stove builders. The plans featured a stove with a tall bench and 8" ducts which I built in just two days and since then I never stopped to tweak it and trying to improve it.
