Jessica's designs can be pricey. Her website stated an average build between $16,000-$30,000, if I remember correctly. The stoves are beautiful. Works of art. Literally.
There are very few mentions on American sites of Kachelofens so I figured I would share this here in order to introduce other types of masonry stoves to newbies. I found the video to be one of the highest quality that I have seen in regards to content and production. To me, Jessica is an extremely inspirational figure since she is a woman working with masonry tile. There are a couple women out there building RMHs but she is the first I have found doing straight masonry, which is something I love. It is really cool to not feel alone.

to be exact Jessica is making ceramics... stoves builds a stove builder... a guy which she works with... here in Poland i know one girl who is making tiles as well in her workshop.. sad thing is that they really cost a lot nowadays being treated as a piece of art... loong time ago everyone had a stove like this in here and the tiles where pretty cheap.

I think it would be instructional to know how the actual heater is constructed. Could we build the same heater using more natural materials? I suspect that takes it out of the Kachelofen realm and moves it to a Cob or Masonry Heater. Just a couple thoughts...

The Kachelofen is a masonry heater.

I know that. I have heard a lot about Kachelofen Heaters, but have never seen any build sequences or diagrams of the internals. I don't expect to build one anytime soon, but I am interested in the different heaters and how they operate. I think Kachelofen are very elegant looking, but I'm not sure my decorating ideas would mesh with the beautiful tile finish. I was hoping to compare the inner workings to other designs and see if there are any features of Kachelofen that sets them apart from other masonry heaters
I thought maybe someone here would have a little more info that might satisfy my curiosity.

I'm coming off of lunch so here is a quick lookup:

Probably not as detailed as what you are looking for but if you do a google search, then I am sure you will find more thorough plans. Cheers!
