    What about the Russian style wood burners? I understand they have a short but very, very hot initial burn, this puts a lot of heat into the mass, which radiates it out during the day.

      @Ben T. I'm repointing with opc like a scumbag I'm afraid, going half a brick deep, what I've done is not coming out again but because previous owners have only put 1/4"of opc mortar over the dusty lime mortar, I'll decide that bits solid and move on then a month after I painted it'll pop off and ruin my pristine paint.
      Eventually I'll get to a point where it's all solid... Hopefully.
      I've found the hammer in fixings from timco to be really good in the soft brick because they only expand at the tip, or chemical studs, short rawl plugs are the worst, needles to say my home improvements end up looking a bit industrial!
      Occasionally I'll find the original fixing methods where the builders have chased the mortar between the brick, hammered some wedges in then then fixed onto the wedges but life is too short to dig away at lathes every time I want to put up a shelf!

    How cool. Kris has a nice old Norwegian cast iron wood stove... Ulefos is one of the best you can find. The factory has been operating since the late 1600s but production today mainly consists of only one antique "marquee" model and parts for this, as most of the other models have been discontinued. Norway have lots of different cast iron oven manufacturers, and the biggest ones almost have monopoly, so the manufacturers with only older models suffered less demand after the late 80s.

  • @talesfromthecaveside
    @talesfromthecaveside 3 роки тому +2

    Couldn't agree more about using a cast iron stove because of the thermal mass that you already have. We have 2 small ones in our cave house, it took 3 or 4 days of use to heat it up & it now is a regular temperature to within a few degrees with 4/5 hours of top up by using just one of them. In the other house ( which is half cave, with a stone built top) we have lined the fireplace with slate and refractory cement to stop the lime behind it getting damaged. ( Nice to see you don't get your lime mix spot on every time either! Our mixes seem to be a bit of a lottery! )

  • @davea1771
    @davea1771 3 роки тому +4

    Standing a piece of sheet metal behind that stove will help reflect the heat out into the room.
    Also, a larger diameter metal pipe around the stove pipe would allow you to blow heated air into the room through the space between the pipes. Capture some of the heat going up the chimney.

    • @lawrencewillard6370
      @lawrencewillard6370 3 роки тому +1

      Used polished aluminium or stainless as reflectors, kept them about 20mm off back wall, 20mm up from hearth to get air flow behind. Could use strap on reflector for chimney also.

    • @MarkRose1337
      @MarkRose1337 3 роки тому +2

      The metal sheet behind the stove is an excellent idea.
      You do have to be careful with extracting heat from the chimney though. Too much cooling can reduce the chimney effect, reducing air flow, which can then lessen the efficiency of the burn and create more creosote in the chimney. The chimney effect is also responsible for avoiding back draft on windy days.

      more than likely. a stove like this isnt airtight. the top hob just lifts off. Its safe due to the draw of the flue. I flu that is drawing well will always draw in clean air.

    I've a small log burner as the main heat source in my house. Sometimes, when I need it to heat the place quickly I point a big fan at it to blow air across the face of the stove whilst opening up the air vents a bit to make it burn hotter. Makes a huge difference to the house. Maybe you could use some of your surplus hydro power to drive a blower to do this.

    • @KrisHarbour
      @KrisHarbour  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Andy, To be honest it sounds like you could do with a bit more hight on your flu. If you open the stove air vets full it should reach temps that are within its range if the flue is right. Blowing a fan on a wood is actually quite dangerous a fan could easily get a stove going well over 800 degrees c and start to break down the steel. It could also (if you dont have good draw) blow the gasses back in the room. Defiantly keep a close eye on it when you do that and check the flue often, If it gets to hot the metal will oxidise away.

    You can make a basic wood stove that is a rocket stove. And it can be made to be a batch burn rocket stove. I built Peter VanDeberg’s (not sure the spelling) batch burner. It puts out tremendous heat and does not need a mass to function. There are many designs for batch burn rocket stoves that are not rocket mass heaters so you could go that route if you want to. And they are cheap to build and easier than the rocket mass heaters. I built a rocket pizza oven as well and it works more like a masonry stove, stays hot for 4 days.
    Seems like you would like those designs, self built and really efficient, but glad you have heat for winter.

    Kris thanks for keeping us updated on the next projects. I'm wondering how you new trees are doing. This time of year they might be easier to see. I would enjoy seeing a walk around the property to get an idea what it is like in winter. Thank for sharing your place with us.

      Hi, yes i had lots of nice ideas and i am actually using a lot of them. Im going with a bunk bed type thing with desk and storage under it. A big curved desk near the big window and the kitchen just to the left of the new slated surface.

      place to dry my boots or sit and warm up. and a work surface that will join in to the kitchen to keep stuff warm. basically you cant put much very close to a stove so the stone means i can have a work surface close to it and save space.

    I've seen loads of videos of stoves put in like this, especially in America with the 90 degree bend, they all seem to work perfectly just like Kris'. However for building/fire regs as I understand it you are not allowed in the UK to have more than 6" of flue at 90 degrees & no other bends more than 45 degrees. I am about to install my 12kw log burner into my house/kabin, should I just follow Kris? Or is it different for workshops?

    🇬🇧 Looks great Kris, bit Victorian cottagy. You need somewhere to hang damp gear on to dry out whilst you are working. Devise the kind which hangs from ceiling as you don't want clothes against the wall. You could also use it to hang herbs to dry.

    A zig-zag flue pipe with a (basic shaded-pole bathroom vent) fan and a thermal switch (thermostat) to move the hot air around is pretty efficient as well. We've done that to all our wood stove pipe over the years.
