Could you surrond the stove in the shed with bricks to replicate some storage mass ?

Yeah I have been stacking the firebricks I was going to use as in a rocker stove riser around the woodstove and flue pipe. It works pretty well but I would like to reduce the amount of wood I need in the future primarily due to lack of wood storage space, so perhaps I will go to something like this in the future.

They used to have just a firepit in the centre of rooms once burning sticks & it did the job... I think it'll be fine. 😂

I think that's before they invented glass windows 😁

I don't know if it was before them everywhere but those certainly had none, just those timber shutters.

Saying that however, rocket mass heaters with their incorporated heated seating & bedding is obviously far more efficient.

Is this something worth considering??

Obviously i dont know how much space you have, but it's worth a lazy sunday watxh and chill 😉😂

Yeah I have seen that video before, he does some really interesting things that guy. I was sort of waiting to see if he rebuilt it before I committed to such a design 😂. Happened to another rocket stove design I had my eye on and sometimes these masonry stoves can be a bit awkward to get right. Will have to rewatch though, thanks.
