    Your channel is highly under appreciated by the UA-cam world. You have a distinct skill of making folks like me interested and that’s not an easy task nowadays. congrats on the build brother. Keep up the good work. I know if you keep on you’ll get where you want to be sooner than you know. If I could change one thing would be the music covering when your doing random tasks. Sometimes it’s more appealing ti hear you actually working than the random music. No harm intended abd my opinion means nothing. Just one of my observations

    This has me wondering if a sauna stove would work (better than a standard wood stove) to heat a work space. The stones retaining the heat 🤔

    • @AndrewSzeto
      @AndrewSzeto  Рік тому

      thermal mass is key! soooo i think they would be similar (big ol cast iron and this stove). a cast iron is still a big thermal mass, and with the necessary insulating fire bricks (which act as a part of that thermal mass), along with the thick cast iron, i think it does a decent job. I certainly find it to be the case at my cabin with my vermont castings stove. the key with this stove is that it's built to take on water too, and not rust. steam is the name of the game with this stove, but undoubtedly, the thermal mass with the rocks make this thing pretty sweet too. the firebox is shorter though, soo nothing bigger than a 14 inch log, which is sort of a pain!

      ooooh I highly recommend it tbh! it's suuuuuch a treat! it does take some time to heat up in our frigid cold temperatures (upwards of 2 hrs), but it holds heat super well and the steam it produces is top notch! we've been enjoying ourselves sooo much!

    • @AndrewSzeto

      i hear ya! trying to get it hotter for sure! it honestly still throws off really good steam just in general and we're well and sweaty anyhow. gets up to about 45 according to the gauge. It is like -30 outside too. the door is a bit drafty, so definitely still a bit of a work in progress.
