Uncle Mud (aka Chris McClellan) raises free-range, organic children in suburban Ohio. He has been using natural building as his soapbox to preach self-reliance and community empowerment, since 2004. Building houses, pizza ovens, and woodstoves with mud and junk is his way of sharing the Can-Do spirit. He writes, teaches workshops and hosts a mud pit and DIY building demonstrations at Fairs across the US.
Utah Valley Permaculture Food Forest Edible Landscaping Tour with Uncle Mud. So Many Species!
Uncle Mud got a special tour of the Utah Valley Permaculture Classroom Garden in Orem Utah from founder Denise Devynck. It was supposed to be a quick 5-10 minute tour just walking through, pointing out and naming the "Utah hearty" and native edible perennial plants in this 1/8 acre suburban food forest but 40 minutes only got us through the front yard. While we were there the temperature outside this little oasis went from the mid seventies down into the fifties as a snow front made its way into the valley but the plant mass and the huge amount of water stored in this little edible landscape kept us in a bubble of even temperature.

I've heard of people mowing their lawn and finding a car but this is something else entirely. This ancient mechanical bulldozer is a fantastic relic of the days before planned obsolescence. Thank you for watching. #unclemud #bucyruserie #bullgrader #rednecklawnornaments

Do NOT piss off the traffic jam drivers!
Fuck yeah uncle mud
No, no you are not.
Man, i didn't even know SunRay passed away. but i don't know about that Eastern Washington dig was called for!
How does the top come off the rocket stove? How is it fastened down? Thanks
Wow
Pretty amazing. Thank you for watching.
Can this work with an old oval electric kiln?
Yes. There's a whole group of us doing it at facebook.com/groups/612205583636245 Thank you for watching
I read in "Irish Cottages" by Walter pfieffer that sod homes could be constructed in 24 hours and, in Ireland, were commonly built by traveling labourers. Soddies were usually on the drier east and south eastern side of the island.
There's a lot of history in Soddies. Thank you for watching.
Thats pretty cool
Thank you for watching. It was very relaxing.
Can one use an old electric oval kiln? Do you get any atmospheric effects from it being fueled with wood?
Yes. You can run a reduction or oxidation or neutral atmosphere. There's a bunch of us sharing data on this at facebook.com/groups/612205583636245

I wonder if you had a double exhaust pipe, one for a bunch and the other for for the vertical flue if it would prevent melting and regulate room temperature.
I like the fact that both lengths of bench look long enough to nap on, even if they're a bit narrow!
Will the ceramic have any atmospheric looking effects?
Yes. More info here facebook.com/groups/612205583636245
Искусство хорошо да , но такая хуйня в глубокой ночью когда один идёшь по улице то штаны наладил бы
Hello, im from Chile, how do you made this forge? Do you have another video? Thanks, it looks really good and i want to do something like that
I would do a class
Wish i had found your channel a few years ago when i just started searching
Perfect. I have been wanting to do this in my home. But no one around me is interested. Would love to see the finish
Nice place for a North South rail link; it is already there in mothballs, and not susceptible to flooding like the lost cause one in Boston
Thank you for this simple explanation about how rocket [fill-in-the-blank]s work. I've been trying to understand what I can do with them and what I should do with my situation but I'm overwhelmed by all the information and styles and designs and just need to start at the beginning, with the simplest basics. So thanks for not making my head explode. I feel like I understand it a little bit better now.
Where did you buy the stove? I like that way better than the all masonry ones ive been looking at
Gamera.eu from Bulgaria three sizes. This is the medium one. Get the big one. All fantastic with a thermal storage mass. Tell them Uncle Mud sent you.
Where is the secondary air coming from
You mention in another video the coals clogging the burn tunnel. I think the charcoal itself would get you hotter temperatures, faster. I dont know of a rocket built to burn charcoal, but if you could combine the power of charcoal with the draft inducing geometry of a rocket stove, that would be amazing.
It's interesting that its hottest right below the riser.
TapLike &Comment 4AIgos. Happy Freeday all
I am interested in having a rocket mass heater for the tiny house that I am building, but my tiny house needs to be mobile and I need to be aware of weight restrictions for my trailer frame. What would be the best form of heater that I could build, with the most minimal amount of weight, so that I could still benefit from having a mass heater, but not have to worry about 1000s of pounds of weight?
Cool.
have you found a place to purchase replacement ceramic liners?
So glad you guys got this to work!
Hey Uncle, do you share a copy of your stove design anywhere?
Dragonheaters website doesn’t work
Do you prefer the liberator or the Gamera?
The Liberator is a low BTU (about 30k) heater that is UL listed and EPA approved for use in the United States. I like that a lot. The non-electric pellet feeder is also pretty great. The Gamera is a superior heater that come in three sizes up to about 55k BTU but it is not yet legal in the US. I'm working on that.
Bună pentru aia cu dureri de spate😂
Yes. It feels really good.
Everyone underestimates the importance of the horizontal portion of the J-tube. Just out of curiosity, try increasing the length and test your results. I've found a 1/3 to 1/4 ratio (Horizontal / Vertical) is optimal
great video whats your mix ratio?
Kirk says it is all by feel, no ratios. He mixed clay slip with ash until a sticky dough was getting less sticky, then mixed in crushed brick or unglazed pottery grog until it felt like cob, then added water to get it moist and sticky enough to mix in powdered cow poo until he had something solid he could carve into the shapes he wanted.
This is amazing and appreciate this simple layout of how it fires so fast.
Thank you for watching.
What's the curved pipe off the side of the Liberator? It heads out and down and then stops with maybe a guillotine thingy?
That is the outside air feed and blast gate I add to my installs to allow me to control how much air goes through, especially closing air feed down completely when I'm getting ready to go to bed o the chimney doesn't suck cold air through the mass. Thank you for watching.
You mentioned that you improved the sizing. What sizes did you use. I want to make one of these for my Sukkot booth for the Fest of tabernacles and run an oven in the exhaust. It will be in a tent. I have also wondered what would happen if you lined the 55 gallon drum with Fire brick. If it was put inside a 85 gallon drum you could pour concrete into the gap for thermal mass. Or use pee gravel to fill the gap.
Thank you for watching. I would tamp dryish clay between the drums for mass so you can remove the mass later for transport. Concrete could crumble under the heat. Firebrick lining a 55 gallon drum is better but a lot more expensive for a temporary heater.
Thanks
Thank you for watching.
Does it heat every room in the house or just that one room where it's in?
This one heats the whole building (a 1100 square foot house trailer). A house that is bigger or with more closed off spaces will need multiple heaters. Thanks for watching.
What a beautiful build. Weird this hasn't caught on
Most of us seem to prefer heaters that do everything with the push of a button. Thank you for watching.
BHP zaakcentowane !
How much space will that heat? at this point do they metal rather than glass top available? my cabin is so tiny, I wanted to build a RMH but can't risk carbon monoxide or fire. I need to do something this spring. I really want a pellet feed, wondering if a hopper could be put on it?
This one comes with both glass and metal top pieces. It keeps up with heating my 1200 square foot trailer house in Cleveland Ohio down to about zero (F). Install it with a mass bench and it will work well. Stay tuned for some more videos next month. I'm testing the Gamera 7 with a pellet feeder starting next week.
think I could build something like this in my 35l x 10w x 14h tiny home?
We did just that in a 70 year old trailer in Denver. ua-cam.com/video/_BniUV3kkBs/v-deo.html
GOATS 🐐 Would enjoy clearing up the weeds and grass
That would be cool. Thank you for watching.
Man, I need one of those egg cookers in my life! I love eggs with bagel for breakfast. I could use it in the oven ( no yucky microwave at home)
Cool stuff. Thank you for watching.
I bet you could use it on the woodstove too.
Yes for sure! @@UncleMud
We have a place like this in Downtown area of a tiny town called Spirit Lake,Idaho. So cool I own a few beautiful pieces.
Spirit Lake is a beautiful spot. Thank you for driving me through there.
Isn't is though..... I wish we had more time to show you around. Busy busy with the build though.Your very welcome. Anytime. Next time bring the Fam. :-) @@UncleMud
Hi, thanks for the video, I'm wondering are you going out of the stove through the barrels, is there a stove pipe running through the barrels then outside through the upright chimney pipe? I'm off grid in Northern Maine, small 500 sq foot cabin, thinking seriously about this stove, my propane non vented wall furnace is lousy, need to either get vented furnace or switch to a stove like this... thank you.
Thank you for watching. There is a 6" stove pipe running through the barrels which are filled with cob that stores and slowly releases the heat from the exhaust before going outside through the upright chimney pipe. With the rocket heater it does a great job heating my 1200 square foot trailer home in Cleveland using very little wood.
