What design tool are you using?

Hmm... It would be interesting to see an actual raw cost analysis of just materials alone. One for red, the other with fire. A couple hundred or a couple $k diff?? Thanks for sharing. : )

It would definitely be possible to add a proper lined firebox. Split all the brick that touches the firebox down the middle and lay the refractory brick on edge(shiners) it will be a lot of cuts but when you're done you won't remember it. Make sure to leave a small gap between the shiners and the red brick to allow for expansion. A lot of folks use sacrificial cardboard for this that holds the gap and burns out on first firing. It also makes rebuilding the firebox a lot easier. The refractory bricks will break down over time so it is good to plan ahead. Kuznetsov presented at the mha conference back in 2006 with an American builder Alex Chernov. His ideas turned out to be not the best but not the worst either. Research shows the full grate air supply can lead to over fueling and uncombusted gases but nothing is perfect. Another interesting aspect of internal channel design is how the hot gases lose volume as they cool so in theory pathways can shrink further from the combustion. Happy stoving and keep up the interesting work!

I would love if you share where to buy the damper. And doors (vents, combustion, grid…)

Hi there, quick question: of the various designs on your channel, is there one in particular you would recommend for a very small space (144 sq ft)? It would be great to have cooking functionality but it’s not absolutely needed. A warm bench would be a nice option to be able to add but also not necessary. Thank you for the work you’re doing on your channel. Not enough videos out there with practical advice on how to build these.

Matt, I unironically love your stove videos. I'M NOT JOKING! However, I'm not going to any website that ends in ".ru".

Fantastic!!! Thank you!!! I started collecting the bricks to buld this! I have a few questions, what size chimney for this stove? I have a 25ft 8" tripple wall chimney in the center of my house.

Thank you for this detailed build. Any thoughts about whether you could fit a coil of copper tubing inside to fashion a basic water heater?

Can you verify this.. I believe that those dampers, when in the closed position, still allow a small amount of air through, as a safety, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning?

Very good project, I was researching about masonry heaters and I came across your video. If I wanted to use one of these to heat the whole house, I thought about using air ducts, with forced ventilation. But how would I be able to "catch" the very hot air from the masonry heater and distribute it through the ducts? Only the hot air, of course, not the smoke. Do you have any ideas? Where and how could I capture this hot air? Thanks

Usually tile stoves are placed in the interior of a space, and only have a chimney or flue that goes straight out the roof. Odd to push the flue out to cold bricks. Also traditional Russian stoves usually have a “summer stove” that is accessible indoors and vents straight up the chimney to start the draft.

I find it so ridiculous to build something so huge and expensive when a simple Fisher Grandpa Bear wood stove for $400 on Craiglist would do the same job. With a flue size of 8 inches it has extremely good draft and has a huge mass of 450 pounds that will act, on a smaller scale, like a masonry stove. I know it doesn't retain heat like a masonry stove but just throw over an extra blanket on your bed. Isn't it really old technology when bricks were cheap and invented before the creation of all iron wood stove? In that respect, it's kind of a dead technology. Yes they do look good and, if you're rich, why not have one but most poor people can't afford this. You're looking at spending a minimum of $10 000 for the second one right?

It's always a wild card to attach a masonry heater to a brick chimney especially on the exterior of a house. I will no longer do it after a few bad experiences. Double wall (class A pipe) is the only way to go. Also no one should ever build a stove without a bypass to get heat into the chimney in a cold start.

I was raised in western South Dakota and all we had on our prairie two story home which was underground up to the windows on three sides our about chin deep to a grown man this guy is totaly spot on your survival depends on own wits and grits my dads cousin froze to death about 6 ‘ from his front door this was maybe 8 years ago at age 78 we all grew up with the stories of this unless you grew up on wits and your own grits you can’t understand how unforgiving Mother Nature is being on totally wood is is completely different than on an oil or even diesel drip stove

A small gas tourch works great. Also for lighting. If you take a descent size, it will not get to cold and stop working after 2 minutes. You only need a small whole then.

Hope there’s some insulation behind all that brick or she will freeze!

That house is so charming. Matt, thanks for the info.

This video has me "bricked up".

It is not in Russia i think.

Where can I find the plans for masonry stoves? I'm wanting to build a couple of smaller ones.

Sources for the hardware has been the biggest obstacle for me. I didn't even think of checking Amazon.

Love this heater! Inexpensive and easy to build. I'd like to build one in my basement to heat my 200-year-old, cold AF brick house. How would it work with a brick structure on top instead of the metal barrel? The barrel gets very hot and would be close to the floor joists in the basement. Bricks might not get as hot?

I could see making a priming chamber on the top of the stove itself(oops, got to end of video and you mentioned this) or maybe have a door from inside the house to a chamber attached to the chimney outside.

I am a complete novice - learning quite a bit from you Matt. Thanks for sharing.

Love ya Matt ❤

Is it possible to build a tiny one for a live-in camper or RV? PLEASE show us, if possible.

You going to the MHA conference this year? Its a bit pricey but is supposedly super cool

I reviewed the video and notices that you missed things. It reminds me of the Dunning-Kruger effect. This is a professionally designed stove with engineers who specialized in it. I can see why someone who is not an engineer would miss things.

So, this is a first for me. I am planning to heat A 70 sq meter room 3,7 meters tall. I have subscribed and will slowly gain comprehension. Thankyou.

I never see these stoves take primary and/or secondary air from outside. Now it is drawing air from inside the room so the room has to replace its air from somewhere else, losing efficiency. Having your air come from outside, then super heated by the stove before entering the firebox and then leaving the chimney is more logical right?

Beautiful stove. I imagine the temp on the rooftop chimney output is very low.

It doesn't happen very often that I can find exactly what I need on Craiglist except that one time when I was looking for a wood stove. I needed a wood stove with a 6 inch rear flue and as big as possible and that's exactly what I found. This 500 pounds monstrosity even had a glass on the door which was a bonus. The air is being drawn from under the stove in a passage welded to the bottom so the air gets warmed up a little once it reach the firebox. There's no nameplate to identify the manufacturer anywhere on the stove so it must have been a custom made stove. I only paid $75 bucks but I had to rent a U-haul truck with an hydraulic rear gate so I had to spend about 250 bucks altogether. I find myself burning a lot less wood. The stove is so big it almost act like a masonry stove but then my house is only 900 square foot.

Speceba Matt

Hahahahah!! Why do I want to warp pipe around this and add a pump?? ...a little storage unit, back flow, auxiliary... XD XD I guess that kinda defeats the purpose though, doesn't it?! :P Thanks for sharing. : ) Edit: wrap not "warp" ... although, I guess either could work.

So pretty. I’ll bet the cats would like curling up near that

I did not see the clean outs. However, with the wider straight and simple chambers beneath the bench, that would be an easy stove to clean, maintain and inspect. Good video and thanks for sharing... 😁👍🔥

Thank you!

Waw, that thing looks nice ! Awesome beavel on the stones. BTW, Think that is a wet saw. Just add water to the aluminium plate/container below. It will create MUTCH less dust. Because it just stick together as a glue/pasta.

My wood fired oven with lots of insulation burns way less wood than my fireplace

Why again is a double wall insulated chimney pipe better? Is it just to keep the exhaust gasses high?

The cook top is a part of the flow design. With out it you would need a riser. But because of temprature differences off steal and gasses, it has the same effect.

Idk but that 3 inch channel between the firebox and the bench looks to me like a Venturi neck you’d see in a siphon. I’m more of a math-guy and I’ve never laid a brick but IMO that’d smooth out the burn preventing pulses and smoothing out when you open/close doors. As I type this I’m also realizing it could be secondary air injection. That 3” gap is mixing fresh hot fire with a stream of gasses that are still combustible but aren’t on fire any more, so I think this’ll make a second burn

It's great to have a grate Ash is a good insulator when burning on stone. But a grate makes it more verstile in fuel. But also the high speed air cleaning the wood surface with this insulating material.

Nothing wrong with you man.. I watch your vids with interest.. Baffles me why technology that meets such a fundamental need is so niche on the internet! So do you think these stoves achieve complete combustion like the rocket and batch box guys are so focused on? It seems it would have to or they wouldn't be doing it this way for many generations. There would be creosote in the bell for one.. The firebox seems less sophisticated than the batch box iterations from Peter Van de Berg with P channels etc. Or maybe not? what if those unorthodox gas exits out the side and top are for turbulance/ mixing and are quite critical. Potentially quite a lot missing in translation from these Russian masters. looking forward to your content from UK. Thanks

Matt, something must be wrong with me because I think this was a great explanation and good look into the complexity and detail of this masonry heater. I've studied hundreds of these and always learn something from each one. Thanks for going the distance and sharing... 😁👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I like watching your videos, very interesting for a fellow stove geek.😂 what’s your take on the Finnish counterflow stoves like Tulikivi?

that narrow space might help to warm up the inside chimy. maybe?

Worth noting that the Russian brick used in these plans is 5"x10" not the 4"x8" paver size you'll find in the US. Meaning the firebox with a US paver would be 8x8. Also the jumper brick above the firebox door is most likely a type of flat arch where the ends are cut at a 45 and the two brick on either side cut to match. Hopefully that makes sense.

are you talking about bypass or damper. bypass to use when starting a fire shortening the way smoke need to get to exit hole. damper on exit hole to block the gases exit speed in to chimney. i think dumper is a must have. when fire is done to block circulation of air, on the intake from the floor also on exit hole in to the chimney. the dude from german video must been built 100 or more. i hope i did not butcher any words.
