The government removed my website, now what?
My most recent form of mainstay and sustenance was accrued mostly by the free exposure my websites once enjoyed. Since then though about a half-dozen domains and domain names were removed by similar fashion before I began to learn tracking and tracing the predators that have silenced me in such a way.
So now that the free service that I offered to the community is no longer able to see that I'm even still open, heating without firewood will become my newest hurdle this winter. The free service I offered the community can be seen here, it allowed anyone to bring any trees, branches, leaves, dirt, rocks and much more to my property rather than pay for the "public" dump to take the biodegradable or non-perishables.
I give the aforementioned for background that justifies the following experiment
This setup failed badly. 
Luckily the Direct Energy systemwas tested before the wall was completed.
In under an hour the rocks had become uncomfortably hot. 
Rather than incorporating the elements into the wall, it was decided to try relocating them into the floor beside/beneath the inside wall.
Since the garage/lab where I spend most of my time cannot be insulated or sealed from the outside elements, this 2024 winter will require an adequate alternate means of heating.
By adding thermal mass around the existing firewood stove conversion, will at very least help to maintain moderate temperatures for longer durations (even after the fire goes out).
I am relatively proficient with the use of direct energy for a few things such as water heaters, lights, fans, lighted signs, cooking, and even some rudimentary element heating. However to continually heat an open-air garage throughout the winter will require that something either be invented or improved upon to meet the necessity.

This is NOT conventional Solar, Direct Energy Works!
