  • THIS IS THE WOODSTOVE UTILITY COMPANIES FEAR MOST
    We take a trip up to Minnesota to visit a masonry heating company. Temp Cast is the name of it and this is the perfect option for us in our off grid cabin we are building in the woods.

      $300 per month, for six months out of the year(because surely you won’t have fires in it during the summer) for over 16 years. That’s how much that thing costs to buy and that doesn’t even include if you have to buy wood for it. Or you could just pay the electric company and you wouldn’t have to smell like a campfire everyday

    I am originally from Russia and my grandparents had a home in the village. The traditional home is called "izba" and it has 3 parts to it: the entrance from the street area takes up about a third of the house (or less) it has no heat and used to store things. You can leave your shoes and winter clothes there. It is called "seni". In my grandparents' home there was also access to the attic from this part of the house. Then you enter to the central part of the house which has a kitchen and a dining area. That is the heart of the house, that is where the masonry heater/ cooker is. It is called "Russian pech" ( Russian stove). It has a cooking oven-like area, heating area for fire, and a huge laying area/bed/bench in the back. You typically put some type of mat or a thin mattress on it for comfort. It is perfect when you get sick to get entire body warmed up. And food from this type of cooking comes out very delicious and nutritious. The next room is the "front room" aka "perednyaya", this area is living area where there are sleeping nooks as well with lots of beds for a big family. This room has a masonry heater as well and it heats up this entire area. This one is just a simple heater though. I remember my grandmother would start a fire in the evening, loading up the fire box, and we could sleep all night in comfort and warmth, she would get up in the morning around 5.30 am and start another fire, by the time we kids got up, the room would get warm again. I cherish the unforgettable memories of this type of living I was fortunate to experience. There were special masons that were specializing on building these masonry heaters and they would protect their trade secrets. I was researching how to build one here in the US and I came across several good resources (Russian professional masons) that share and teach how to build those pieces of art. They sell the building plans or can build it themselves (for people in Russia). One guy even made a mini building block kit for training and practicing before you build it in real scale. It is quite fascinating! I will definitely build one when my husband and I move to a homestead. These are made from bricks and masonry mix that is designed to be taken apart if need be without using a sledge hammer. I remember the stories during World War 2 the houses would burn down but the only thing standing was the masonry heater. Women would come to those masonry heaters /cookers and cook food and baked bread right in the open field.

      I would like to get the house built with this type of masonry heater incorporated into the design. Ideally.... there are some designs that have intake of cold air running outside under the floor and the hot air piping runs under the floor of the first level and heats the floors and the house.

    This ovens are really worth the money. Since I use one here in Austria I would have two suggestions for you. Skip the heated bench because it's getting a little to hot most of the time. Build a wooden bench around it and pad it nicely. Also rather use something smooth for the sides like plaster or smooth tiles. Leaning on it will cure a sore back in no time. All the best.

    Hi. A tip about the generator that I myself practiced. When you have an excavator, dig a hole in the ground that is as deep as the generator itself. But there must be a lot of air next to it, so the hole should be at least twice as wide as the generator. Then cover the generator with a plate so that it does not get wet if it rains. The rest of the hole can be covered with branches from conifers (spruce / pine) so air can pass more to the engine. In this way at least half of the sound is lost. Probably more.
    Good luck and God bless.

    You can easily set up a custom water tank and have hot water for your home at no extra heating cost. If you have a green house near your home you can run a water line to a tank out to your green house to another water tank to heat your green house too. All you need to do is coil some copper tube around the flue. All on 2 fires a day.

While further South, where I live, chimneys were more often built on the outside of exterior wall. From an efficiency stand point, thermal mass should be inside the building envelope, even in a "cooling" climate, such as the US Deep South.

    We live in an old house (500 years old) with such an oven. The oven is about 100 years old and in winter we light it once a day. It heats the whole house. In Switzerland these ovens are very Common.

    I had looked at these years ago, researched the Russian masonry heaters. These are much the same as those in Russia. I really liked them. Those in Russia ( some of them) has a side “ bar/ extension of the heater “ that you can cook on , brown meats or cook eggs on in the morning for the first fire of the day , then start a stew or bake in the oven for a later meal. Only thing for me was that all showed open concept homes. But that’s ok,. Thanks for pointing out a company here in the USA!

      The Russian stove has two firing modes - summer and winter. When the stove is in winter mode, the hot air is sent along a long path before going into the chimney, while in summer mode, the smoke goes straight into the chimney.
      A good Russian stove is a rather complex system, but it is also efficient and economical.

    just a tip.if you go with wood heat. where the wood storage box is next to the heater. install a 2'x2' door with dead bolt in the side of the house that opens into the wood box. this will save you from caring wood in the rain, snow, mud. that stuff gets old real quick, just open the door and toss the wood in,

      Pricing is clearly posted on the temp-cast LLC website. Their "standard kit" starts at $7,380, the top of their line model/system comes in just under $9,000 USD.
      I acknowledge those are not necessarily "cheap" price points, however, what does it cost to keep a home comfortably heated, & to use either a gas or electric range for cooking/baking on a monthly basis?
      In my area, even if one can get by cheaply, without having any extreme winter cold spells, it's still easy to spend $75 or more for gas/electric most months of the year, & sometimes 2x as much.
      If you can average saving as little as $65/month, that's $780/year. Break-even on the standard model is 9 years 2 months; on their top model that comes less than 2 years later.
      Meanwhile, you enjoy a comfortable home, with enhanced/added value should you choose to sell. Seems like a win to me!

    • @andrewlightfoot1323
      @andrewlightfoot1323 Год назад +2

      @Trelleborg So, those *aren't* the prices clearly posted on their website? Inclusive of a list of specific items?
      I do not "throw rocks" at your stonemason credentials at all, as I am a general contractor (personally trained as a plumber & in hardwood floor stripping/refinishing) & I respect specialty tradesmen
      Yet, I think I'll trust my "lying eyes" on that one...
      Until I actually call their HQ in Minnesota & verify pricing/costs for myself...to include "extras"...
      I see nothing in the assembly/materials videos that should be so expensive, nor require extreme specialty tools/skills, but I have long had a "can-do" mindset towards a litany of general contracting tasks. There are some things I won't attempt to bite off or chew, but not many

    Awesome video. So happy to learn about this type of wood heater. I have shared this video on my profile page to my friends. I have an old Franklin wood burning stove that we purchased from Montgomery Ward catalog back in the 70s and it really put out the heat, but developed a problem with smoke coming back into room, so I haven't used it in a while, plus I got a leak on the roof around the chimney, which I had to hire someone to take it off and put new shingles over it to stop leak. I really do miss having it in the Winter time as I love to watch the fire - makes one feel cozy.
    This Brick Heater is awesome design and makes so much sense - using the Bake Top Oven (without electricity). Thank you Butch for sharing this with us.

    they make those ovens in Austria, with a hearth in the bedroom, and the other side in the living room. this means the interior wall is really massive and the chimney snakes through that wall, meaning lots of thermal mass and it has a bench as well, for warming up from outside.

    @tomrecny6437 Год назад +3

    Great video, thx. I installed a masonry heater in our new build 25 yrs ago. We’re in the ADKs with long cold winters. We love it. Our core kit came from a small business in Toronto, 5th generation Polish Mason. We incorporated a bench as well and skinned it with local VT marble. We passed on the piazza oven... not something we expected to use and it does reduce efficiency slightly. It’s a primary source of heat for our two story, 3,000 sft home. We supplement with geothermal heat n cool. We burn once every 36-48 hrs and go thru 1 1/2 full cords of wood annually. When up to temp, the burn in the upper chamber is so complete that all wood gases burn and there’s no visible smoke coming from the chimney. Temps in the upper chamber exceed 1500F with flue gas temps around 250F. The temp diff is absorbed by the thermal mass and radiated slowly over 36+ hrs. Masonry heaters are very unique and offer a huge selling benefit later on vs a similar home with a large inefficient fireplace or a wood stove. Hope you enjoy your new MH as much as we have enjoyed ours. 😊
