Conversations with Masonry Heater Owners - Eric Schroeder Stoves
I visited a few clients, for whom I had designed and built about 8 or 10 years ago. I asked them these questions: What attracted you to Masonry Heaters, What made you decide to buy a Masonry Heater? What's it like to live with a Masonry Heater? What would you say to someone who is considering one? The answers were very similar.
Note that not all these stoves have the same wall thicknesses, and wall thickness impacts surface temperature. Typical stove temperatures range from 130-170 depending on construction. Very safe for children and pets.

That a unique and very nice accent, beautiful maybe. The stoves are class as well, have been interested for years. Tks
"This is a wicked even heat." Ha, love that. I live in the south, but I wish I had an excuse to build a masonry heater. I really like the concept.
That couple was definitely native Mainers. Even before the guy said "wicked" their accent was pure.. it's funny how many people think Boston and Maine accents are te same. Not even close.
I made one myself, and 19°C feels really comtortable. When for some reason we don't light the masonry heater for a few days in a row. The house feels cold at 21°C with radiators.
Such beautiful workmanship and a time-tested heating solution… I’m wondering, do you need to sure up the floor to take the weight? Could you install one of these in a home with a basement?

Good question! I could do a video on that! The quick answer is yes, we can put a heater in a house with a basement (do it all the time in new and existing homes), and yes, it does take some support beyond what the floor system provides for all but the smallest stoves. Typical is concrete block with a slab on top, but some of our smaller stoves can rest on the wood floor with just a couple posts offering extra support and removing the "bounce" or "flex" from the floor.
I am sure thrse are fine homes well insulated and tight to the nines.
Does the guy at 4:40 have a video?
at 1:19 why didnt they get the oven?? at 4:38 the window is way too small to enjoy the fire.

Thanks for responding. The stove you first refer to has an oven on the side toward the kitchen. We offer larger doors than you see on the cooktop-equipped stove there as well. Lots of options.
how the other rooms are heated ?

Other rooms are heated naturally as the stove warms the objects in the main area. In my house a slow convection current exists from the bedrooms down to the great room. The bedrooms are usually a few degrees cooler for me than the main room, but the better the space is insulated the more evenly it will warm.

its hard to believe one stove can heat every room
