Masonry heaters are much more efficient than the metal stoves Americans typically buy. These examples either incorporate cook stoves, or are stoves that can act as a heater in a small space.

Hello:
I write you from basque country.I like very much this kind of masonry cookstove.
ยฟ Do you say me information abouts guide books to build it?
Thank you
how do you clean the masonary wood stoves if is has that many compartments?
Good question!
Masonry stoves are extremely clean burning. There are reports by many that they have not had to clean theirs after ten years of use. Since you are burning hot and fast most all particulates and soot get consumed instead of sticking to the side walls of the flue. And there are clean out entries for ashes.
But as for a good interior wall cleaning after some years. I am unsure!
i can ALWAYS dream and thank u for making it possible !
Thank you for assembling such a fantastic array of cooktops/heaters.
Unreal!
i’m looking to buy a wood cook stoves to use in Africa and would like a brochure with prices please.
Thank you
Hi, I am a drafting and Graphic Design student at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. I am currently in the process of designing a ‘Residential Dwelling’ for my Architectural Drafting class.
I am trying to incorporate a functional wood burning cook stove alongside a wood burning stove or fireplace in the kitchen and living (great room) of my design. Currently my design shows that there isn’t a wall in between these two rooms but the fireplace is what separates the two rooms.
Would you be able to provide me with some photos of some fireplaces or wood stoves or some such that would fit what I am trying to design? I was looking at the photos of ‘masonry heater & cooktop and ovens’ and would like to see some more examples.
My kitchen is designed to be located on the eastern side of the house with the livingroom in the center and a sleeping wing off the northwest corner of the livingroom. My total design right now without tweaking is a total of 11,000 square feet top to bottom. That is a total of an attic and basement and then two floors in between.
I have homestead and need to build a cook stove/bread oven for cooking and heating the cabin,I’m looking for publications , drawings ,plans, manuals , l have a background in brick laying and masonary work .
Thanks for all the help I can get.
