So far this book has been translated into French (two different editions), Spanish (coming soon) and Japanese. A lot of people approach us about their desires to translate. It is quite an undertaking to translate a technical-yet-cleverly simple book like this, and we are in deep admiration for those people with the passion for language skills as well as fire and nature: It has brought some really cool folks to us, and I am most grateful. There are lots of languages yet to tackle, so if you are one of these cool folks, get in touch with me!

Japanese
Kiko Denzer introduced us to Hattori Junko and the organization Friends of Earth and Fire, in Japan. They translated the first edition, Rocket Stoves to Heat Cob Buildings, and so began a sweet exchange in perfect English, lots of respect, and beautiful images!
French
The second edition was translated into French by Pascal Burnet. Once in a while, a translation comes along that we didn’t initiate. This came simultaneously with a project we were doing with another publisher, but were honored to receive the news. Find some info in French here.
A French book with an RMH chapter
Poêles à accumulation by Vital Bies and Marie Milesi raised the bar for us in publishing and turned me on to masonry stoves. Ianto worked with them on a Chapter on rocket mass heaters. Have a look.
