Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

Hello Tallgrass & welcome to the forum!

My yurt is insulated a little bit--one or two layers of a wool-blend blanket material. I need to add at least one if not two layers to the single layer...

Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

Well I've come to like the heater. Once I cut done on some more drafts (mainly the platform/canvas seal & door), it should actually keep the yurt at room temp--right now it's generally 50 F in the...

Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

The heater is basically done now. Air inlet & cleanout ports are mortared in, firebox door is in place (screws in frame hold holes drilled in brick facing) & insulated, all doors/ports sealed on the...

Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

Well, I might say a properly designed/very stoutly built wood frame _could_ hold up a ton spread over a good 5 sq feet (400 psf)--wood is pretty decent in compression. But I don't think it would be...

Re: Masonry Heater for my Yurt

Well masonry heaters generally aren't weighed per se, so you have to take any weight estimates with a grain of salt (or two). I'll move it (& the yurt again) eventually, so I may drop by a truck...
