Do you think a 6" system would be enough for a 1700 sq. ft. house?

Beautiful job! Have you tried it with the door open?

Sorry to hear that vortex, that's not the way to start a new year.
Hope all is getting better, and looking forward to seeing the new stove working. Can only go up from here...right?

Hey Vortex have you been able to fire up the new stove yet?

Ahh. I get it now. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I built a rocket stove with perlite and castable refractory. That was the best insulated firebox ever, but not at all durable. What if you coated it ITC 100 HT? Would that keep it from getting all torn up from loading wood?

Won't the thickness of the mass cause an efficiency problem?

Hey Vortex (or anyone else), If you cast this per your plans, would skinning it with brick make the mass too thick? I was reading with a regular masonry heater, that if the mass is too thick it makes the stove inefficient.
Thanks

Vortex,
When will you have pictures and maybe a video up? When will you be firing it up?

Thanks again Vortex. My wife and I are in love with the stove you built and want to duplicate. Unless this new idea you are working on is significantly better, than I think we'll stick with the original. What tipped the scale completely was the ability to open it up for a "traditional fireplace".

Thanks Vortex.
Have you tried making the entire core (except maybe the floor) with insulated refractory? I made a rocket stove with refractory and perlite, which works great but is not very durable.
May sound foolish, but what's the difference between low grade refractory and regular refractory?

Sorry for not being clearer. How do you connect the door frame assembly to the stove?

Hi Vortex,
How are you attaching those doors?
