This guy keeps chipping away at this project and it looks better all the time.

I love all the work Paul Wheaton does with rocket stoves and heaters but sometimes the foot print for those things are enormous and awkward to retrofit into smaller spaces. So I ended up just putting a conventional wood stove in the shed. Perhaps something similar to this with a small mass this could work well in such a space as well as in an outdoor kitchen.

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.

Thanks for sharing, I love seeing the experimentation. I'm still building J-tubes, but I want to try batch boxes sometime.

Have you you seen Matt Walker's tiny cook stove and other designs? https://walkerstoves.com/videos/

I like masonry heaters, kind of a compromise of efficiency and "normalcy"

Have you seen this guy and his plans?

Sorry I see now this was already linked.

yes! cool builds! he uses something called ceramic fiber board and pins it together for rapid prototyping and air-seals with rolls of aluminum foil! too awesome and too simple!

One day I want to build his stove, probably on the back porch with a bell bench. I’m too chicken to build indoors atleast for the first one, but an outdoor kitchen on my porch for garden processing seems like a good fit. Plus a redundancy for cooking in general. But they seem very functional.
