Wow, I never knew. We have a massive masonry heater in our home my father built. He passed when I was young so I never knew the details. What I thought was just a fancy fireplace has much more thought put into it than I ever thought. Thanks for the info.

We live in a old farm home built in 1949, and we have something like this. We might be able to own it soon, and my husband keeps telling me he's going to convert this into a masonry heater/ stove. Now I know what he means. Thank you for the information.

I dunno if these designs incorporate this but you wanna bring in some unburnt air to mix with the flue gasses above the fire for secondary combustion, this halves the amount of soot and particulates produced and increases the efficiency of the burn by a lot. The designs that take some air in from the door might do this. The ones that only get air in from below are the old fashioned type. On my finnish built one there is a slot infront of the firebox that goes down into the ash pan, where primary air is sucked in, so part of the air goes up this slot and flows up infront of the fire instead of through it, then it can mix with the hot flue gasses and combust a 2nd time. We've had our chimney swept once since 2014 and the sweeper said it was almost clean.

"Kakelugn" is what he's saying at the end... it's swedish and is directly translated as "tiled oven"
Chimney fires are typically a concern for metal chimneys and typically short chimneys. Because the metal CAN melt or be destroyed by the fire causing a housefire. And with shorter chimneys the creosote can build up close to the exit causing fire, embers, and sparks to exit the chimney and catch the roof on fire. Masonry heaters don't typically have these issues because the creosote is deposited on refractory brick very early in the cooling process. Therefore if it catches fire it just heats the brick up causing no damage and is too far from the final exit to spit sparks and embers onto the roof.

Thank you! Could you please help us to find online to purchase a Cast iron oven insert for a brick masonry wood stove. It’s also called Bake oven inclosure It’s pretty much an Oven Box with the door, that made of cast iron or metal insert in to the space left in the brick wood stove.

The creosote buildup that causes chimney fires will not burn hot enough or long enough to have any negative effect on refractory brick. Because masonry heaters effectively have a gigantic network of refractory tunnels before exhausted up the chimney, chimney fires aren't as much of a concern. All of the creosote would build up on refractory brick early in the process, and if it lights up would simply burn off.
@norbertsenf1726

There is no creosote to deposit. To get creosote, you need smoldering (non-flaming) combustion, which produces tar droplets (particulates). In masonry heaters, you do get a small amount of particulates, but they are soot (elemental carbon) instead of tar (organic carbon). This is because a masonry heater only operates at high burn rate, and cannot be turned down to the point of smoldering. We know of one that has been in continuous use for 37 years without requiring chimney cleaning. It has maybe a 1/8" layer of soot deposit on the flue.

I notice the masonry heaters you show have glass doors on the firebox, an advantage over a rocket mass heater, plus do they burn larger wood? And do they use ceramic glass, to take the high heat? Our house has a fireplace with a metal back heatilator, which is only moderately efficient (see my video). I do burn short hot fires which heats up the house, but doesn't heat the masonry mass well. Unfortunately to convert it I think I'd have to tear the old one out and start over, but it would be easier to build a masonry heater than a rocket mass heater in the same space.

With the high temperature of around 1500 degrees Fahrenheit all the hydrocarbons are burnt off. If operated correctly, only fly ash should be visible. Cleanouts take care of access. 1500 degrees in firebox but about 350 degrees at chimney connection. All those BTU's are stored in the mass.

Thank you for video. How would you clean crosote, if any, from flue. Or does high temperature ensure no build up of creosote. If masonry has cooled down from lack of use, is it difficult to light fire. Is there sufficient draft ?

I have a masonry heater and you don't get much creosote buildup because of the high temperatures in the combustion chamber. But if you did you would just clean out the flu which is a metal stove pipe the same way you would any other chimney.

If the fireplace is placed correctly in the middle of the house it will heat much more than that one room. It will radiate heat trough the house even 10 hours after the burning has stopped. I know few of these where there is waterpipes inside the masonry (between the core and sheating) and connected to the boiler reservoir so they can heat their shower water etc with that oven.

Nooooooot necessarily. "Massive masonry stove" is the general term, encompassing the Russian designs (both the vertical and the horizontal bed style), but also designs from Germany, Scandinavia, and other areas. A Russian wood stove could involve brickwork like this one, but could just as easily be a little cast-iron box, with no masonry involved-- a totally different animal.

They are similar. There are different systems of masonry heaters that have origins in various parts of Europe. This design, known as a contraflow, originates in Finland. Rocket stoves have a combustion system based originally on a continuously fired cookstove, invented by Dr. Larry Winiarski in 1980, based on an earlier design by Sam Baldwin.

it's a pretty common thing in "the old world". we all have our regional flavors but it's essentially the same concept, use a long pathway through stone or masonry to store heat from a fire. if the system is perfectly tuned the exhaust from the chimney should be room temp theoretically. there's stories of Roman concerors in England doing something similar, but they mostly just heated the floors by running hot gasses in channels in the floor masonry, they'd have slaves fire up the system from outside the house
