In Sweden they build huge masonry wood burning stoves in the center of homes. Somewhat small firebox and a long convoluted flue. Large mass of brick/stone/mortar. Retains the heat.

Russian design.

Re: “One comment caught my eye, and I thought you might appreciate it, given your fondness for subzero temps:”
It was a long article and I didn't get through it. I never reached the point where it explained how the damned thing works. Magic? I also saw nothing about what skillset the homeowner has to have before tackling this. Welding, I suspect. I don't weld. I also suspect I'd kill my whole family with a CO leak.

Maybe one day I'll look into this again. It seems like it'd be a huge EXPERIMENT, though. I'm in no position to take that on. I'm doing enough experimenting already.

Are you giving it a try? If it works, I'm sure it would be nice to have in ANY environment, not just a cold one. Give it a whirl. Tell us how it goes! Try not to kill anyone, though.
