Construction of Stove Bench Masonry Heater​

In the last video we looked at a similar stove, but one that was much more complicated and did not leave any "room for error."

Folks I know I have posted a lot. Perhaps someone can use . This type of stove is pretty expensive .. It weighs a lot because one wants a bit of mass to retain the heat. One has this going all the time to be most efficient ... An arm full of wood in the morning and at night. is all one needs in many cases. These stoves need low moisture wood under 20 % If used correctly very little ash and creosote is left . It is a true survival stove
In the future I may put an addition on my ho,use and would like to have one built. A bake oven can be built into this system very easy.
I know there are some builders around Rochester
