- Page 14 Integration of Rocket Heater to Thermal Mass The Liberator RMH-2.0 can be integrated to thermal mass. The benefits of using thermal mass is a thermal battery/flywheel effect which allows the stove to keep the structure warm without necessitating a continuous 24/7 firing. However, there are many variations of thermal mass integration and each installation is almost inherently a custom designed and built to the customers needs.

- Page 18 Operation Of Your Rocket Heater On Fuel Pellets The Pellet Hopper Adapter allows the Liberator RMH-2 to burn pellets without permanently modifying the heater in any way. Steps to Attach the Pellet Hopper Adapter 1. Install the Pellet Feed Tube on to the Pellet Hopper Adapter by inserting the tube into the Coupler located on the bottom of the hopper.
- Page 19 Steps to Start the Heater on Pellets 1. Fill the hopper with pellets, then open the Ash Cleanout Door. 2. Use a propane torch to ignite the pellets. Make sure that the torch's flame is making contact with the fuel pellets and use a left to right sweeping motion across the bottom of the burn grate for approximately 25 to 30 seconds or until there is a steady draft.
- Page 20 NEVER load fuel from the front door (the one that slides up and down). This door is only for lighting/startup and cleaning. Only load fuel from the top of the vertical tube. Specifically for the event of an emergency or chimney fire, keep a five gallon bucket of sand handy to pour into the fuel chamber. This will limit available oxygen to the chimney fire.
