Wood burning stove build from stones

Together with Hans Baarslag and his two compagnions Johan and Zuhair, we made the first setup of the new design for a stove as described in the list . We experimented in Hans new workshop, a former cow shed with no heating.
This is what we are heading for:

  • The stove will have a table like model. It rest on a metal frame 30 cm above the ground and is about 1 meter high.
  • The stove is constructed out of concrete paving stones (60x40x6cm) for bottom and top. In between bottom and top two walls are masoned from ordinary bricks with mortar. This mortar is just a 1:1 mix from clay and sand. Fire-resistant concrete tiles for lining are only used where the wood is burning.
  • Air is pre-heated before ist reaches the fire. To attain a very high burning temperature the actual fire place is small. It is expected the fuel will be consumed at a slow pace. This is in contrast with nomal wood burning stone stove that burn their fuel fast.
  • The hot air on its way to the chimney is guided outside af the brick walls, behind metal sheets, that clamp inbetween the top and bottom. These metal sheets can be cut from a flattened oildrum.
  • Wood as fuel is fed into the fire from a pipe-like container positioned above the fire..The container is closed at the top
