Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Couple other off topic comments about heat. Never done it but have read baked potatoes could be stuck in the coat pockets when outdoors in cold weather. :D Gonna have to try that sometime. Also, a...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Off topic comments. The simplest low tech way to 'store' heat from a fire is in thermal mass. I convinced that's the reason behind the massive multi sided Victorian and earlier era masonry fireplaces...

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt

Re: New Woodstove For The Yurt
