A long lost welcome to Greg, in a more than colder part of the land.
My suggestion is to watch every Rocket Stove YouTube video taking notes of good ideas and who suggested them, operating data and durability of construction. With that background you are ready for the Forum.
I have only been at the RS Forum a couple of days, but it looks to me a far easier place than YT to share ideas. Pick an interesting topic, read all those posts thus far and jump right in.
