Kuznetsov OIK 4 / OIC 4 Plans are at www. stove. ru. (Free Drawings) it says once you have the website translated via Google
one of the four watched till end, nice walk through.
Hi again-I hope this isn’t obnoxious, but in case you didn’t see my reply to your question below about my chimney, I’ll paste it here:
my chimney will be up to “code” (even though such a small structure in the town I’m building needs no permit)-so the chimney will be a straight shot from the top of the stove, through the roof and about 2’ above the roof line-the distance from floor to topside of roof will be about 12-12.5 feet. And it will be an insulated chimney all the way up to the roof line, with a damper, as recommended.
Thanks again.
For a small space, you can have the warm bench OR the cooktop, but not both. If you don't NEED 1 or the other, like you said, there are 50 things you could do. I guess I'll wait for your comment choosing bench, metal cooktop, OR neither. It seems like the bench would be too much / or too large for a small space. It may get TOO HOT in there too, with so much thermal mass. I think the bench "is out."
Ok, fair enough, we can do without a bench. The cooktop would be nice to have as an option, but not essential either, as we can use a regular camp stove when needed. I was looking at Matt Walker’s tiny cook stove (you can search for it here on RUclips) but the materials would be significantly more expensive (ceramic fiber board fire box) and a bit more complex to build than the “simple masonry heater” you called “the homesteader” in your video that initially caught my attention.
nice visual explanation thank you bro
great explanation, Thank you for sharing!
Good video
I love your videos I'm thinking of a project for the garage and a brick bbq/fireplace
Thank you... but for these stoves remember... they take a long, long time to heat up. They are not useful for quick heat, and really of no use if they will not be fired every day for a month or two, with no time off. Only 1 to 2 burnings a day... 5 logs each... but..... ... no days off. EVERY DAY.
Well said
Fantastic!!! Thank you!!! I started collecting the bricks to buld this! I have a few questions, what size chimney for this stove? I have a 25ft 8" tripple wall chimney in the center of my house.
Well... that's about the best chimney I can possibly imagine for any of these stoves.
Hi there, quick question: of the various designs on your channel, is there one in particular you would recommend for a very small space (144 sq ft)? It would be great to have cooking functionality but it’s not absolutely needed. A warm bench would be a nice option to be able to add but also not necessary.
Thank you for the work you’re doing on your channel. Not enough videos out there with practical advice on how to build these.
Yes... but ... I need to ask.... since chimney is 70% of the success of a system... What DOES or... what WILL... your chimney look like? Per the commenter below (that good).... or some piece of crap pipe run through a wall, hillbilly style?

It would definitely be possible to add a proper lined firebox. Split all the brick that touches the firebox down the middle and lay the refractory brick on edge(shiners) it will be a lot of cuts but when you're done you won't remember it. Make sure to leave a small gap between the shiners and the red brick to allow for expansion. A lot of folks use sacrificial cardboard for this that holds the gap and burns out on first firing. It also makes rebuilding the firebox a lot easier. The refractory bricks will break down over time so it is good to plan ahead. Kuznetsov presented at the mha conference back in 2006 with an American builder Alex Chernov. His ideas turned out to be not the best but not the worst either. Research shows the full grate air supply can lead to over fueling and uncombusted gases but nothing is perfect. Another interesting aspect of internal channel design is how the hot gases lose volume as they cool so in theory pathways can shrink further from the combustion. Happy stoving and keep up the interesting work!
Yes. The channels would work much better if they narrowed gradually into the chimney.
@Mightycaptain I certainly wouldn't go that far! I was just noting the rationale of the down draft channel being much larger than the updraft. It is also worth mentioning these plans are based on a 250mm brick so if one were to build this stove using 4x8 pavers those up channels are likely to be too small
Great information, thank you.
Hmm... It would be interesting to see an actual raw cost analysis of just materials alone. One for red, the other with fire. A couple hundred or a couple $k diff??
Thanks for sharing. : )
Simple... firebrick.... 2 bucks to 2.10 per brick.... pavers... 1 dollar to 1.15 a brick.... pavers are 8 x 4 symettrical.... red brick is NOT symettrical.
@@stoveadvice Easy-peasy on the per/ea. side. I was thinking more in lines of an entire project (brick, clean-outs, doors, grates, etc.) I certainly HOPE that it's not ~$K margin per BRICK!! o.0 But great start. Thanks for your RE. : ) : )
Could the grate where the firewood will be burned be bigger? to add longer pieces of firewood?
The grate where the firewood is BURNED does not need to be very large. It does not need to cover the entire floor of the firebox. Just, perhaps, 10 inches by 6 inches would be plenty of size, to let a lot of air flow from underneath. If the grate is a bit small, it's best to have it toward the front of the firebox a bit, toward the door a bit, not in the exact center of the firebox, but that would not make a major impact, or not make much difference.
Order fire rated glass online and make a glass door
Yes, you can order the exact size you need. It's expensive though... 10 inches by 10 inches... about 80 to 100 bucks.
What design tool are you using?
The original video is using sketchup
I put link in video. This is from Russia.... that's why I "turned the Russian down" in the beginning of the video
