The Basics of How A Masonry Heater Works

How A Masonry Heater Works from the inside out.

I first learned about this when I was watching a a old grandma in Ukraine with one of these in her house. This is a must for any self sufficient home.

Terrible to clean if there was an issue. I love how they say it doesn’t creat creosote 🤣😂.
I have cleaned many masonry heaters and 95% of them have creosote all throughout the chambers. The creosote accumulates only when the owner is not educated on how to use the heater, and for me it’s 95% of the owners. Some of these masonry heaters don’t even have access to the chimney(like a clean out door) so you can properly clean the chimney.
The companies that install these heaters need to make sure there is access to the chimney and that the customer know how to properly operate the masonry heater before they leave the customers home.

Піч з такою конструкцією буде обов'язково диміти, беріть приклад з білих Українських традиційних печей, вони ніколи не пропустять дим у Ваш будинок.

Russian Kuznetsov stove is better than this and its open source.

How do you clean the soot from the baffles?

Can your organization point me to builders in my area that will design a heater for my home?

Of course masonry heater doesn’t create creosote and tar. The fires that you build create those byproducts.

Hello there! I'm trying to find out who manages this channel. Please reply?

And cost? Don’t look cheap. Any masonry work these days is expensive.

(Pause at .37 seconds in) hey, at the points of the red arrows, could the gases, be returned to the firebox? for greater efficiency? More heat, less wood?

[DimaBereozkin]

Where to get good high density clay bricks to build a masonry heater? Please give me an idea.

[ivan]

Good idea, but there is one huge error: The chimney hole must be at the DOWN side, because hot gases are the lightest and they rise from the top. And if the chimney is on top, they go OUT through it FIRST.

They are wonderful and I want one so bad. I bought Kens book and Rocket mass heater how to books. They are either to expensive or to difficult for me. I found a Weso on craiglist that is a German ceramic heater. Iys as close as I can get to a masonry heater.

I have a fireplace that 3 ft wide, 2 ft deep, and 2.6 ft high, the hearth sticks out another foot at the base. I am trying to come up with some sort of wood burning setup more efficient than a fireplace. I tried a steel barrel stove on its side stuck into it with one section of flue pipe sticking up into the damper, and closed off with tin all around it and a layer of insulation on top of the tin. I never could get the room to heat up. I would like to try something like this or a rocket mass heater or? in the fireplace, any ideas?
