Rocket mass heaters are great! We are going to be putting one in our studio for radiant, convected and water heating. However the walls will be papercrete the stove will be cob. Rocket stoves start at 1200 degrees in the burn chamber and fade down to 200 near the final exit so in my opinion paper isn't a good fit unless want your rocket stove to become a papercrete ash stove! Just my 2 cents worth.
