Masonry heaters work by radiating the energy stored in their masonry mass. A short, hot fire heats the masonry mass, which stores and radiates it back to the space slowly and evenly for many hours. The distinctive feature of the heaters is a series of baffles to pull the heat out of the exhaust. Masonry stoves are very heavy due to the mass required to store the heat, therefore the cost of transporting such stoves is extremely high. Some literature on masonry stoves and their construction is available online and some of these sites are outlined below. However, constructing your own masonry stove is no small endeavor and does require knowledge of working with masonry. Some of these do-it-yourself books are also outlined below.

Inside, masonry stoves burn hotter than metal wood stoves and their winding maze of flue (baffles) warms the surrounding masonry, which then emits heat for 18 to 24 hours. The temperature can reach 2000 degrees inside some masonry heaters (vs 700 inside a metal stove), yet they stay comfortable to the touch on the surface.http://al-maarifa.com/userfiles/fiat-spider-service-manual-download.xml
At these high internal temperatures, the hydrocarbon gases ignite, leaving very minimal pollution. How Masonry Heater Works When burning wood, about 30% of the generated heat is supplied by the wood solids and 70% of its heat is contained in released gases. If the volatile gases are not fully combusted, they escape as wasted heat and polluting particulate emissions. Igniting and then drawing the heat out of the combustion gases turns almost every ounce of wood into energy. A slow burning, low temperature, low oxygen fire produces tar and hydrocarbons, a fast, hot, air-fed fire burns the pollutants up. Add a storage battery (the masonry) and you have a very efficient, non-polluting heating system. A metal stove gives out its heat rapidly, thus never allowing the inside combustion temperatures to achieve the 1100 degree F plus needed to ignite all the gases. A Masonry Heater Uses Less Wood Because the stored heat radiates slowly from the masonry, it is only necessary to light a fire once a day in most circumstances. In really cold conditions, you might need to light two fires a day. Metal wood stoves must be tended to continually and fluctuate from peak high temperatures, to no heat, when the fire is out. A masonry heater always burns wood at the highest heat, if you desire less heat, you simply use less wood. A well-designed masonry heater can easily outperform most all EPA rated metal wood stoves. And like a wood stove, a masonry heater can exhaust through a metal flue pipe. The Masonry Heater: An Ancient Green Technology The masonry stove has been around in many different forms in almost all ancient northern cultures, from the 7200 year old Kang bed stove in China to the Hypocaust in ancient Rome. In northern Europe, 500-600 years ago, a long-lived cold spell caused local wood to become scarce and masonry heaters became common due to their efficiency. In the past hundred years dirty coal, then oil replaced the masonry heater.
Wood is a renewable resource and absorbs CO2 as it grows. Considering that masonry heaters are efficient and emit little pollution, the United States should take a closer look. How To Mimic A Masonry Heater Surround your heater core with stone, brick, stucco or tile. Although kits are available, this is not a project for one new to masonry (see resources section). A Kachelofen is a ceramic tiled wood stove which has mazelike, masonry channels within. The meandering exhaust gas warms the surrounding masonry which then slowly radiates its heat. A small windowless door allows the fire to burn very hot inside the heater. High heat and the addition of a second combustion chamber, burns up the polluting volatile gases and efficiently turns them into heat.

By William Davenport.Otherwise the heat of the firebrick might crack the facade, although brick is least likely to be stressed. Masonry Heater Circulation Directing the hot flue exhaust through a series of baffles heats up the surrounding masonry. The baffles can meander in numerous directions. Some stove’s baffles take the exhaust side to side, some up and down, some front to back, and vice versa. There is always a source of air coming in the base of the heater to feed the fire. Yet, flues that are too long and convoluted might restrict the draft through the system, as each change of direction creates resistance to the gas flow and decreases the suction of the chimney draft.

Masons: William Davenport, Spencer Blackwell, Norbert Senf. Turtle Rock Heat has more information and ideas on their website. 18) Heater With A Core Stone masonry heater with a heatkit core. An efficient heater should produce heat at the same rate as the heat is given off (emitted). The firebox size should also match the size of the heater and home. 19) Indoor Heat It is not efficient to put your heater on an exterior wall. When on an exterior wall, that portion of the masonry facing toward the outside, will simply be heating the outside air. This heater is an interior wall. Vermont masonry heater by smithandvansant.
20) Heater From Canada A masonry heater’s chimney can be ceramic or metal. Large fireboxes reduce combustion efficiency and generate higher emissions. Keeping the window small means the heat gets absorbed into the masonry. There is no reason why some heaters can’t be low and long. There is a wood fired cookstove on the opposite side of this heater.

How A Contra Flow Heater Works Scheme of a contra flow heater: As the fire burns, air is drawn in through the primary air intake (b), passes up through the grate in the firebox floor (c) and feeds the burning wood. Due to the design of the fire box and its angled ceiling, heat radiating from the fire is reflected off the firebox walls back onto the fire, helping obtain firebox temperatures of 600 Degrees C. a prerequisite for secondary ignition. Air from the secondary air intake ( d ) located in the loading doors, the flame and unburnt gases rush up through the narrow throat in the firebox ceiling ( e ) and enter the secondary combustion chamber ( f ). Due to the angled ceiling, the flame, air and gases are pressurized slightly. Once through the throat they expand, tumble and mix, allowing secondary combustion and temperatures in the region of 900 degrees C ( 2,200 degrees F).
The hot gases pass over the top of the side walls of the secondary combustion chamber into the vertical flues on both sides of the heater.( g ) Drawn by the draft from the chimney, the hot air flows down the flues transferring its heat to the flue walls before entering the chimney at the base of the heater ( g ). Via: pyromasse.ca Note the drawings on right, the channels (baffles) can meander up and down, side to side or both. I am sure I have never seen it where German was not the language of the region. Yet it is by long odds the best stove and the most convenient and economical that has yet been invented. To the uninstructed stranger it promises nothing; but he will soon find that it is a masterly performer, for all that. Small-sized fuel is used, and marvelously little of that. The door opens into a tiny cavern which would not hold more fuel than a baby could fetch in its arms. The process of firing is quick and simple. They burn out in ten or twelve minutes. He then puts in the rest and locks the door, and carries off the key. The work is done. He will not come again until next morning. All day long and until past midnight all parts of the room will be delightfully warm and comfortable, and there will be no headaches and no sense of closeness or oppression. Nothing is gained or lost by being near the stove. Its surface is not hot; you can put your hand on it anywhere and not get burnt. Consider these things. One firing is enough for the day; the cost is next to nothing; the heat produced is the same all day, instead of too hot and too cold by turns; one may absorb himself in his business in peace; he does not need to feel any anxieties of solicitudes about the fire; his whole day is a realized dream of bodily comfort. America could adopt this stove, but does America do it. The American wood stove, of whatsoever breed, it is a terror. There can be no tranquility of mind where it is. It requires more attention than a baby.
It has to be fed every little while, it has to be watched all the time; and for all reward you are roasted half your time and frozen the other half. It warms no part of the room but its own part; it breeds headaches and suffocation, and makes one’s skin feel dry and feverish; and when your wood bill comes in you think you have been supporting a volcano.” — From Europe and Elsewhere, published posthumously in 1923.

Are there any good publications dealing in depth with the internal flow design parameters. Reply Keiren says December 20, 2013 at 2:44 pm Hi Ken, Great project. Best! Reply JJY says December 28, 2013 at 5:37 pm From an image search I deduce that the makers of the tiles for the green and cream stove are Iwona and Jerzy Jarmolowiczowie, from Lechow, near Bieliny, in south-cental Poland. For interested self builders: you can find pictures of the builing of our stove on finoven.wordpress.com. It’s a finnish contraflow type in loam blocks, with a heat exchanger on top that powers our hot water supply and underfloor heating for the rest of the house. I realize that they probably stay warmer than the usual chimney but we never run our wood stove overnight despite promoting condensation when it is started cold the next morning.
The main reasons is the lower combustion temperatures of metal fire box; they take as much heat out of the fire as quickly as possible and throw it out into the room, and when you shut the fire down because it’s too hot or to extend the fuel life, the temperature drops even more. This is a nightmare for pollution, and a great recipe for sticky hydrocarbons like creosote. Masonry heaters burn wood much hotter, they reflect heat back into the fire for more complete initial combustion, and then what isn’t burnt in the primary combustion is completed in the secondary chamber which has another air draw to light the hot gas mix, so they have very little of these hydrocarbon gasses that stick to the chimney. They solve the overheating of a room with thermal mass, so much hotter, shorter burns. Reply Jeff says May 2, 2014 at 6:20 pm Anyone out there know of any masonry heaters that are also used to heat a sauna (up to 180 degrees) as well as multiple other living environments.

Reply Miss D says March 31, 2015 at 3:38 pm Can anyone tell me the real differences between masonry and rocket mass heaters please. What is the difference in fuel efficiency. No area masons are comfortable building one from plans so, I need to find sources for a prefab kit to be assembled on-site.We’re interested in building a masonry stove for ourselves, but are struggling to find information about the specifics of the baffles to make sure that they draw correctly. Is there anywhere where you can get plans and measurements to understand more about how to make them properly. Thanks! Reply Cheryl says November 25, 2015 at 12:48 am We are trying to find a source for glass doors appropriate for a masonry heater. Our firebox will be about 28 inches square, and we’d like to have as much of that area visible as possible. Does anybody have any leads.
Reply Carl says December 8, 2015 at 7:53 pm Hi Cheryl, We supply one sided, double sided and corner glass doors for masonry heaters as well as all other necessary material. See contact info above. Alex was very helpful with his email advice. I found many of my materials in Craigs List, and saved a good deal. My stove looks nice, works great, and it was the first masonry brick project that I ever built. I’d be happy to talk with you about it. We have a wrap around heated bench that the smoke goes through after it leaves the heater core before it goes up the chimney. We are having condensation problems in the last half of the heated bench. The water pools in the bottom of the flue linners in the heated bench and leaks out through the cracks in the joints of the linners used to make the heated bench. The liquid seeps out of the motor of the field stone facing at the bottom of the heated bench. Even though we have several inspection doors we can not get in physically to caulk all the joints in the flue liners in the heated bench. The flue linners were mittered and fitted well. The joints were motored with high temperature motor that has cracked after a month of burning it. The temperature in the first hour of burning is too cool in the heated bench allowing condensation. The liquid will start to evaporate after the first half of the burn if it has not leaked out already. Has anyone else had this problem and is there any way to solve this without dismantling the whole heated bench. Thanks for your help. Reply Mike Burgess says February 10, 2016 at 7:37 am regarding Dave’s condensation issue. You may not be heating your heater up enough. To light the stove at the start of the heating season, I make 2 small fires each day, 2nd day I go larger on the fires, till I have full load fires on the 4th day. After the 2nd day, there should be some heat beginning to soak through and in reality, the inside cores should remain hot (over 100C) for the whole heating season.
There should have been instructions with your kit. Inside the firebox, by the 4th day, should only be bare white masonry, with only traces of black soot in the corners. The fires should be hot, and about 2 or 3 hours long. Condensation happens when stuff is cold. Either your heater never cured and dried out, or you have not heated it hot enough. Kits. We built our heater in California in 2012, after a year of red tape to get approval for the TempCast kit. Our model has a wonderful door that they may sell separately.Are you sure your firewood is well-cured and dry. Reply Dave says February 12, 2016 at 2:24 am Thank you your replies. This heater is located in Western Canada in a unheated house. The house is around freezing when we have been burning the heater. I was hoping to use it to heat the house while we drywall and finish the inside of the house. The heater is on the main floor and sits on top of a 3 inch thich cement pad that is supported by steel floor trusses. The concrete pad under the heater and the basement is around freezing for temperature. There seems to be no difference if I burn 15% or 30% moisture wood. I still get condensation even on the second burn of the day when the heater core is hot. Even if the heater is hot the heated bench is luke warm to the touch. It seems I can not get enough heat produced to get the heated bench real hot. A 50lb load of wood heats up the core nice and the facing stones get quite hot. The air in the heated bench clay flue linners will finally warm up enough later in the burn to start evaporating the condensation. Is there any way to seal up the flue liners or spray in them to make them water tight or will we be faced to take the heated bench apart to get it sealed up properly. If a guy ends up redoing the heated bench is there a type of concrete that a guy can use instead of the clay flue liners so a person can have one continuous trough with no joints that can take expansion and contraction without cracking.
Thank you for the help and suggestions. Reply Marsha says March 20, 2016 at 12:33 pm I have a Tempcast stove in my 1990 house. Living in the country, most of the fireplace professionals have no idea how to clean and maintain this stove. Since they don’t know, they tell us it’s not safe (and, of course, want to sell us another system, lol) We want to make sure that we are maintaining a safe heating source. Any suggestions of steps, resources, etc.Reply mark says September 30, 2016 at 10:34 am there are some youtube clips on starting and maintaining the Ecco stoves that may help you and your sweeps. If anyone knows about a stove building course running soon in Europe. Similar to this one, which provided welcome heating to a rural school in Hungary. It would be nice to have some traditionally trained Hungarian builders on board too, even if just to visit and advise, like the group who came to the UK with expert skills and their locally available materials for this stove. I can understand why my previous post didn’t get past the moderator and should have been more positive. USA pot-belly stoves made sense at the time, an AGA made sense 100 years later, now things are evolving quickly and not everything regarding safety and DIY indoors is going to be perfect. I cannot understand why particulates matter, but children’s fingers and hot stoves and hot glass cosmetic doors do not. Children under 5 can’t read or always remember if told the Operating Manual, which is all that is required to pass EN code. I have the scars.
