Cheers Matt!  Perhaps you can post the skp on your webpage for other builders out there. This thread will drown at some point. well, it hasn t yet!? thanks bram for a fine work, and matt and allthe crew there. found your drawings and i have the exact place for it so it will be my 4th RMH, the bench is there already (actually the J model my first RMH of 2016. will suffer 3rd sauvage modification, demolish and new riser) then first question, hve you tried a bench connected to the stove? (although a lot to improve, the bench reached 60C in 2 hs second, i see the secondary air shows differently in drawing 2 in respect to 1 and 3? thanks again, saludos, c. s34w55 |

Welcome to the forum Carlos! Exciting to see someone post their first post to this humble attempt at modeling So to answer your questions: Yes I have tried to connect a bench to the stove. It takes about 3-4 hours and 2 baskets of wood to heat up from the temp it has after radiating into the house during the day. We usually start a fire around 19:00 and by 22:00 the bench and room are toasty warm. Keep in mind that we treat this as a woodstove, not a RMH. In that we don't burn a full load to super-charge the bench as quickly as possible but rather like watching the fire through the little window and feed the fire as is needed. The heat lasts throughout the night and by morning the air temperature has dropped quite a bit. One can still remain toasty warm by sitting on the mass, but the room tends to be 'light sweater and slippers temperature'. This is with outside temperatures hovering between 0 and 5 degrees C at night. I have one of those laser temperature meters and I measured the surface of the concrete wall across from the WRC to be 32 degrees C, which is quite a feat when you look at the average Greek home made of concrete and brick like ours. The weather is warming up around here, we are moving into spring. And when we visit my partner's parents the house is still freezing cold compared to our home. They pay 2-300 euro's in diesel every winter. In short; not only does the WRC manage to heat up the bench. It ends up charging up the whole house with heat and you notice the difference immediately when you enter a home of similar build quality. Pictures of the build can be found here: photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPbaDQ-elPPxT9PMxOl9CSU1PdHZH0dvoP7CazeggbwbF0Vj9zPeVrUI5VOIXIZcQ?key=cHQ4YVFvZHoyYkFBcnplbXMtamU5ZG1NaWVRQ2xnYour second question: Yes. Don't base your build on those pictures... Base them on the SKP file because that's the most up to date rendition of the work I did. Okay, let me know if you have more questions! |

Your second question: Yes. Don't base your build on those pictures... Base them on the SKP file because that's the most up to date rendition of the work I did. Thank you for putting together the riserless core in sketchup. Very helpful. A question about it though. I noticed that the viewing window has been replaced with IFB and put in line with the back wall. By doing so, this pinches off the first port (to 1 9/16" or 40mm) out of the firebox much below Matt's 2.5" or 64mm recommended size opening. Some other pictures you posted show these same bricks moved back enough to make this port opening larger though. Should the .skp file be updated to allow for this? |
