Gamera Adria presents:
Weekend Workshop: Build Your Own Rocket Mass Heater 34000 Vidovci, Požega, (8)-9–10 August
Join us for a hands-on weekend workshop where you'll learn everything you need to know to build an efficient rocket mass heater.
Only 3 places left !!
This workshop is a deep dive into both theory and practice. We'll explore how rocket stoves work and how to design and build one that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.
Together, we’ll build a rocket mass heater for an 80 m² greenhouse, as well as smaller models for experimenting, learning, and improving. I’ll also demonstrate two commercial rocket stove systems for comparison and inspiration.
Accommodation:
You’re welcome to sleep in the barn on hay bales or bring your own tent and camp in the meadow.
You can arrive and set up camp on Friday 8 August evening from 18:00.
Goal of the workshop:
By the end of this weekend, you’ll be able to design and build your own safe, efficient rocket mass heater — whether for a single room or an entire home.
You will also get acces to the Gamera Adria workshop group, so that before or after the course you will be able to ask questions and get support with your build.
