Masonry Stove and Stone Stairway | Complete Build

Compilation of the build of the masonry stove. The concrete core and doors were provided by Tempcast. The integration of the chimney and stairway is custom, all build from local stone available on the property.
A masonry stove works a bit different than a conventional cast iron wood stove. It is designed to burn a fire as hot and as fast as possible, in one go, without adding more wood during the burn. The hot air goes through extended flue channels that heat the masonry, before it reaches the chimney. More so than the fire itself, the masonry will warm the space long after the fire is burned out. The amount of wood that is stacked depends on the outside temperature. The fire is lit with small kindling from the top. This allows the bigger logs on the bottom to slowly heat up and catch flame as the fire progresses, resulting in a very hot and smokeless fire that keeps the chimney clean.

Pretty obvious it wasn't just my eyes lighting up with seeing an extra episode pop up this week 😆Great to have a recap of what turned out fantastic, looking forward as always to Sunday 🙂

It took me a while before i realized this was a recap of the stove build. At first i was thinking did he not finished one already, where needs this one be placed .... etc.

[@pegsbarton6353]

A good way to see the stove build, faster and more concise, but not forgetting all the huge effort to perfect the finished build. It looks absolutely beautiful Martijn, you must be very proud. And I can almost smell that bread!! It was also beautiful, but very sad, to see the black chicken again, before the dog attack. You can really see how much bigger the white and brown hens have grown since little Blackie was killed. A lot has happened, and when you see time reduced like this it shows very clearly how hard you have worked to get where you are today. Well done, and thank you for the huge amount of work you put into producing the videos for us each week. To do all that on top of your physical efforts on the build is truly a testament to you Martijn.

I know that the weekly video editing has been tireless and sometimes tedious work for you! But what a joy for the newcomers to your channel to be able to comprehend, in even a SMALL part, the work that has been done by your masterful hands! They still need to see the videos from the beginning to fully understand your dream and your day to day accomplishments! You're my hero and I wouldn't consider my Sunday complete without seeing you and the chickens, following you around, clucking their joy when they see you coming to open their hutch! 🤗💕💕

Missed the build because of the crazy period of newborn baby and work mixed. Its now wrapped up in 1 episode. Thank you very much, Mr.

[@Toromboloize]

I'm so impressed with the speed in which Martijn learns new skills! Stonemasonry is VERY uncommon yet here he is chiseling that stone like this was the olden days and stone was the only way to get construction materials.

[@BillGornicki-qj9mk]

This stove was a great choice. And the finish you made was beautiful.

[@georgeb2590]

Usually ff through these build videos..but..found myself hypnotized by the pace. Great design that has stood the test of time. I'm so impressed by Martin's attention to detail and craftsmanship. A work of art that will last a l o n g time while keepimg him warm through many a storm and it can cook too. Thank you for one of my favorite channels. Food for the soul.

[@GlobetechtruthJF]

I was surprised to see the stove build this week...my plan is to introduce this in my build in western Canada where the temperatures are mid range through out the year as we are mountainous prairie conditions here, however, be interesting to see how this stands up to our seasonals and winter here, may need some backup but looking forward to the heat this produces as well. Nice to see this episode in a build all of its own from start to finish which will be included in a must see video to my builders who assemble mine here. Thanks for the memory and recap. Martijn, this build is by far the most impressive work I've seen in my 50 years and counting as a builder and now building sciences engineer. It must be the mountain air in addition to dedication and a will to do better. Cheers

[@jaasonmorton4058]

Happy to re-watch this content/video. Just a pleasant surprise for a midweek video. (The kettle is on, and I'm taking a 53-minute break.) Awesome!

I echo everyone else's delight about an extra video, Martijn! I chuckled when the chicken peeked in the window the first time you showed her and again in this video, I chuckled. What a massive and successful project. It was great to see the whole thing from start to finish. Thank you so much.

In the US similar technology is often called a rocket stove mass heater. The rocket stove is probably traditional masonry stove burn techniques someone saw on a trip to Europe, adapted slightly and renamed to give it a newer more snazzy modern sounding image.

The building of the masonry stove separate is a work of art.....the stove AND the filming of the build such a pleasure to see the whole poetic process. Such stand-alone episodes deserve their own day of the week to note video focus is "different" somehow. The building of the fire, such a sensory experience, such a symbolic one as well.
