    there's at least one Irish company marketing Irish-built rocket stoves as home heaters (very elegant and expensive). Do some googling. Most stuff you will encounter is survivalist or backyard stuff but keep looking.

    If you can build one that will heat rads I'd love to see the pictures. imo a rocket stove needs to be attended to most of the time its running because of the way the fuel needs to be fed into the combustion chamber.

    Some of the commercial home heating types are hopper-fed, from an external source, similar to the pellet burners, so theoretically, you need not be on hand to attend to them the whole time.

    Look at EirEco stoves, from Cork.
