Hot room in Green room

[Frozen Canuck]

Same principal as a wood gassifier boiler with storage. THat system can let you use the heat for days after the fire in mild weather. Plus its a cleaner burn. MOs tlikely less costly and nat as hard to install and setup. IN the meantime i will experiment with surrounding my wood stove with a few ton of concrete blocks for heat storage to see the results.[/quote]




Sure hope that stove is in the basement with a good concrete floor under it. Wooden floors likely won't care for that much point loading.

It is. Even with the uninsulated concrete basement walls it still gets 95Deg in the stove room. Possibly i can capture some of that heat for later use.
