Masonry kitchen stove
We builded a new small heater that we think will be very popular. This stove combines direct heat and stored heat. It is a fast and simple build, but it performes really well. This stove responds to many of the neads expressed by the people here. Learning for Winiarskis design principles I figured that a pushing the fire in a narow gap under the coock surface should result in a more effective heat transfer. (Sketchups are on the way) This stove is amazing to coock on because on one side you have frying hot temperatures and on the other side it is suitable for slow boiling and simmering food.

I still think it does a pretty good job heating our buts Tha advantage by constructing it like this is that the user can move away both the flue and the stove in the warm season, and by that have only a nice bench left. The whole setup costs about 100 dollars, and will make a huge difference in wood consumption....
