But also if it's an ocean planet and doesn't have a dense iron core, it's gravity won't necessarily be greater than the Earth's

naahhh, this is just media hyperbole. Not even the republicans would ignore the parliamentarian, that's just beyond the pale.

is it a tent situation primarily or are there other structures that can more readily be insulated?

A mix of both, but probably mostly tents. I think the generator provides electricity to multiple tents so that's the main advantage, plus it being the only option really for folks who don't have wood stoves at the moment.

There are certain design principles necessary for a rocket stove to be a rocket stove

Yeah honestly I don't think a rocket stove is actually what I meant to discuss here anyway. It might have been a rocket mass heater that we were discussing, although we also discussed trying to employ ondol heating which might be a bit easier.

Admittedly, I need to read more on the pros and cons of all of these options. Just wanted to check with people here to see if there was anything else I should explore - or if people have had experience with these projects in the past, what pitfalls to avoid.

Thanks for your taking the time to write this all out, it's helpful.

 

I am working with a mutual aid org which has some resources at its disposal (money & labor) to help the folks who live there.

Of course, the people living there know best what they need, and with their current setups they mostly need wood for their stoves, or fuel for their generators, which are running electric heaters. But not all of them have stoves or generators.

I think the next most obvious option is warm clothing and blankets, which it seems like they have in good supply thankfully.

My org has done some building projects in the past and is considering doing more, possibly with a rocket stove type design, though I'm wondering if that's worth the effort, and our money/time would be better spent providing the residents with more food/clothing/fuel.
