Hi Alex, do you mean the exit temp or the bricks temperature ? For the exit temp, 100-150°C measured one meter above the top level of the heater, on average on a single burn would be nice. If there is a reloading then 150-200°C on average. For the max temperature on the bricks on the front I know they can reach 150°C (or more if the heater is overfired). Regards, Yasin! I was talking about the brick temperature. 150C is pretty hot! Thanks for the quick awnser! A+ Alex

Was the timber used reclaimed from another construction or fresh cut and seasoned? I'm always jealous see ppl build from timber. And taking up challenges. Have U had anyone to introduce you to carpentry or .. books only? I've been gaining skils in construction for quite some time, in order to weave our warm (therfore rocket stoves) and cosy nest and be able to do most finishing jobs with my own hands but here (in the east EU) I could hardly afford buying timber for a light frame post and beam construction for the long dreamed of strawbale house not to mention buying land. Well... after all the training there has come a time to gain some financial resource and pitch up. But now an issue of having proper-minded neighbours seems to be more of a trick. good luck and I hope to see more of pics of your carpentry & construction It was all made with new wood, the walls been seasoned for five years and the beams for the roof frame air dryed almost two years. I talked with few carpenter before the project but I assume they didnt think I was serious about it. I think anybodies who take his time is able to built this kind of structure. Take your time, measure twice. Sketchup help a lot for this kind of project too.Read timber frame boiks and watch lots of video on youtube, all the info is there. Ill try to post some more photos soon.Where in EU do you live? Thanks again!

Hello everyone!
Gosh ! My Lord! What a thickness of a trusses and the "peg carpentry" - Respect. Is the above masterpiece a result of your personal skills or U hired some proffesional carpenter to make it / give a hand/ instruct ? Thanks Jura! I built it myself, the roof frame took me 6 weeks. I read many books about timber frame before

The fire box doesnt need to be insulated, just the heat riser.

Probably that one could make a similar construction with unsquared logs but personally I attach more interest to "piece sur piece" houses which are more in local traditions.

That is a lot of mass on the second floor, is that a continuation of the main stove structure supported by the lower floor? Yes, You can see the whole thing on this photo. It's supported by a concrete block structure that sit on an heavily armed 18"thick footing in the basement. Is that what you meant?

I think Jura was asking about what kind of heater you use to 'prime' the chimney at the start of the season, and where exactly the heater goes for the 'priming'... Oh!! Sorry about that.Thank you drooster! Said in this way I understand better. I use a small 120v heater, I dont know how much watts. Put it in front of the stack cleanout on the second floor.

I prime the stack with a heater at the begining of the season, that's it. In what place of the beast you put a heater in (what kind of?) Winter are pretty rough here and the house is quite big so I think its perfectly suited for our need. could you explain the cardboard? Is that wrapped around the inner skin? Yes,it act as an expansion joint.
