Home Power Magazine published an article written by Ianto and I on the Rocket Stove book! It's in their October/November issue. You can download the whole issue for $5, or get a year's digital subscription for $10 at the Home Power site.

At the moment, I am working on a remodel of a cob cottage on Lake Merritt in Oakland. There is an article about it in the CobWeb, the magazine for people with cob stuck to their souls (Issue#21, Spring/Summer, 2006). Here are a few "before and after" shots.

Ianto Evans and I have completed the Second Edition of the Rocket Stove Manual, which Ianto Evans dictated and I produced in 2004. It has additional illustrations, more clarifying 3-d diagrams, case studies, a section on Pocket Rockets and other variations, and a real spine. The Second Edition is also available in .pdf format. Print just the pages you need, make a binder that lays flat, save the paper entirely. See Rocket Stoves  to order, read excerpts and see additional images and stories.

Jack's Picks is an ongoing, opinionated list of what is Up.
