Rocket heaters work efficiently, in large part, because they maintain very high temperatures 1,200°-2,000°F in two sequential combustion chambers. This helps insure that all the volatiles and most of the particles are consumed. The first and hottest combustion chamber is also usually located close to the ground. This means it is critical that the burn chamber be extremely well insulated to protect the substrate from intense heat.
Our tests showed that the area under a 6" burn tunnel with 2" of perlite insulation can still be over 800°F. This temperature range is much hotter than the feet of cast iron stoves which are near the floor. Consequently, it is important to mitigate the heat from a rocket heater in a different way than traditional stoves, which only require a hearth pad.
