Hi folks, i just finished my RMH. First: Thanks to every single one of you, providing all the knowledge on this board is just awesome! The stats: Burn chamber made similar like mats cast core. Crazy high insulation! Highly recommended! (Thanks for the conception!) Flue is built out of half barrels, ISA about 5m2 (without floor) and a volume about 700liters, divided in two "chambers". Mass weighs about 4 tons (loam, rocks and urbanite), most of it is hidden below floor-level. Until now: surface temp on average 35°C, i never burned it for more than 2 hours at a time, the cabin (~40qm) heats up quite fast. Because of the huge mass the stove has nice delay in heat transfer. Staying warm & cozy for over 24 hours. Bonus: Heated floor under the desk! The chimney is 3 meter high, slightly insulated with perlite/clay (~1cm). Exit-temperature until now below 50°C, on average 35-40°C. Barrel top temp reaches up to 500°C, most of the time +/- 350°C. Top gap 10cm. Final conclusion after winter, loving the RMH already. Lovely greetings

Not bad, not bad at all! You did well with the half barrels. Tho, there's one detail i don't like. You have to kneel to feed or clean it. Or at least, if you do this, you make it flush with the floor, so you can sweep the floor in it

Very nice. I made the same mistake as Indipendentenergy. I thought the firebox cover looked like glass.
