As food prices soar, salmonella stalks the supermarket, and fresh and local claim their place at the table, city dwellers are getting back to the land by opening their back doors. With visions of Victory Gardens and sugar snap peas in their heads, urbanites are rediscovering how to turn their lawns and landscapes into larders.

Rocket Stoves: Super-efficient and emergency heating

Hi, all,
From the Peak Oil meetings I attended, this group is interested in practical alternatives to expensive energy.
"Rocket Stoves," or more properly "Rocket Mass Heaters," are a super-efficient, super-clean way to heat a space using a very small amount of wood fuel and producing very little smoke. You can literally grow your own fuel on a 1/4 acre urban lot. The stove is a hybrid masonry and j-tube stove, which can be built into an attractive bench or bed, or installed along a wall or room divider for inconspicuous warmth.
