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.
