Module-by-Module Curriculum & Practical Labs
B3-M1: Keeping Warm in a Winter Power Cut (Woodstoves, Boilers & Safe Zoned Heating) (3.0 hrs)
- Why the "Warm Room" principle beats trying to heat an entire uninsulated house during a winter outage
- Woodburning stove efficiency, flue draw, seasoning logs below 18% moisture, and Ecofan heat circulation
- Low-wattage 12V infrared heated pads and running a modern gas/oil boiler from a small battery inverter
Hands-On Lab: Test log moisture content, flue temperatures, and carbon monoxide alarm placement.
B3-M2: Off-Grid Cooking: Multi-Fuel Stoves, Rocket Stoves & Haybox Slow Cooking (3.0 hrs)
- Comparing bottled LPG, camping gas, unleaded petrol stoves, and outdoor biomass rocket stoves
- Reducing cooking fuel consumption by 70% using thermal-mass haybox / Wonderbag retained-heat cooking
Hands-On Lab: Service a multi-fuel stove jet and cook a complete family meal using retained-heat techniques.
B3-M3: 12V/24V DC Compressor Fridges & Solar Freezer Management (3.0 hrs)
- Why a 230V mains fridge wastes inverter power—and how a 12V DC Danfoss/Secop compressor fridge runs on just 35W
- Using thermal phase-change packs and extra insulation to coast through dark winter nights with minimal battery draw
Hands-On Lab: Measure 24-hour amp-hour consumption of a 12V fridge/freezer paired with a 200W folding solar panel.
